Thinking i should just start a company, close it and claim political persecution.

She's right about a lot of silicon valley (and beyond) companies having a fake it till you make it sort of thing going on (something she mentioned elsewhere). But come on... faking blood tests is far worse than some app faking that it can find instances of hotdogs in a photo..

edit: How do all these prisoners seem to have social media? People being deported and "regular" and prisoners don't.

Are you sure they don't? White collar criminals in prison are having friends on the outside post on social media on their behalf (and of course we have no way of knowing whether the actual white collar prisoners actually approve of what is posted on their behalf). Imagine a guy who is in prison for 10 years for committing an impulsive murder of another gang member, or who is in immigration detention and does not speak English - even if they did have people on the outside posting on social media for them, would you know about it?

I’ve been waiting to see when this story arc would come back around

Can we expect an formal apology/book tour soon?

If not for my morals and sense of ethics, I’d probably spend my days grifting crunchy MAHA folks. I'm 100% sure that if you just push anti-establishment / something contrarian hard enough, they will start lapping it up.

I can't remember if Holmes was brought down on state or federal charges, but if the latter, no doubt they'll push for getting her out.

She was found guilty on four counts of fraud in federal court. I'm amazed she hasn't been pardoned already.

And misery loves company. The losers can sit around in a mutual admiration society brown nosing and using and be used by each other.

If you'd like the answer to this in musical form, you can listen to DJ Shadow's excellent Why Hip-Hop Sucks in '96.
