Expedited discovery to wrap up by April 28, and by then plaintiffs can restate, with appropriate modifications, their request for further relief, including a contempt of court judgment. Defendants have until April 30 to respond to that. 5/
in reply to Heidi Li Feldman

Xinis is moving as quickly as law and prudence allow. She has created a streamlined procedure for resolving discovery disputes. She concludes the order: “That said, should Defendants fail or refuse to engage in the above-described discovery in good faith, Plaintiffs are free to seek separate sanctions on an expedited basis.” 6/6

Thank you once again for summarizing. I have been waiting all day for this news. Much appreciated.

I'm not in a mood to be patient with process and "prudence". I've seen how that worked out with this regime, these courts.
The King of El Salvador was in the US, yesterday, that was the time to drag his ass into court and explain how he can't return the human being who is subject to this travesty of morality and courage, directly. No excuse not to have done so, or at least tried. A man is dying down there, and we did it to him, by our inaction. Shame.

Bell of the ball? We think so. 🔔✨
This monumental bronze bell, cast in the 1120s during China’s Song dynasty, is a striking example of early archaism in bronze casting. Its detailed design reflects a vision of the empire in three parts: an imperial procession through the capital city of Bianjing (now Kaifeng, Henan Province), a dynamic landscape representing the empire’s vast territory, and a cosmic ocean filled with mythical sea creatures and the eight Daoist immortals.

A nearby projection displays ink rubbings of the bell’s five ornamental bands, offering a closer look at the intricate imagery.

Déficits publics: la fable macroniste aura coûté très cher

Persuadés du succès de leur politique de l’offre, les gouvernements Borne et Attal ont laissé filer les déficits publics sans agir sur les causes du dérapage. Les auditions menées par la commission d’enquête parlementaire dont le rapport vient d’être publié sont accablantes.

S'ils étaient "persuadés" de leur grotesque "ruissellement" qui apparaitrait par magie à faire tout le contraire alors ils sont encore plus cons que ce que je pense déjà. Ils utilisent juste les déficits qu'ils créent de toute pièce à balancer l'argent par les fenêtres des riches pour en accabler d'autant plus les pauvres, les services public, les prestations sociales & esclavagiser la société. C'est tout à fait volontaire depuis le 1er jour, & répété, & forcé. C'est ça, les fachos.

Turns out that glibc environment variables are not thread safe, and using them like they are without crashing is just pure dumb luck ​:woozy_blahaj:
This is why setting environment variables is now marked unsafe in Rust.
