Attached to: Judge Refuses To Ctrl-Z Divorce Order Made By a Misclick
His Majesty's Courts and Tribunals Service (HMCTS) online portal.
With a click more potent than Cupid's arrow, the solicitor "issued a final order of divorce in proceedings between Mrs Williams, the applicant wife, and Mr Williams,"
And why is a lawyer the one finalizing the divorce order?
Shouldn't that power solely lie with the judge (or the judge's staff)?

The original Tesla Model S had a two speed gearbox, but Tesla couldn't figure out how to keep them from breaking, so they went with a one speed instead.

We are basically relying on a bottleneck created by the need to manually research cases in order to prevent a giant legal apocalypse
98% of Federal Court cases are settled https://www.npr.org/2023/02/22...
TFA also mentions that the same situation exists at the State level as well.
All it takes for your apocalypse to materialize is for X% of defendants to say "I want a trial"

You're just dancing around it because fixing the REAL problem is HARD.
how about you let us deal with the low hanging fruit (guns) while we work on the REAL problem.

Attached to: Florida Judge Rules Section 230 Bars Defamation Claim Against the Wikimedia Foundation
It is important to note that Section 230â(TM)s broad protection of Wikimedia projects and other online services does not leave litigants like Mr. White without options. Instead, the law simply requires that litigants direct their complaints at the individuals who made the statements at issue, rather than the forums where the statements were made.
So they want him to subpoena the IP address and sue the contributor who posted his image.
Seems like a fair compromise.

Attached to: Did Facebook Change Its Rules to Placate the Right?
TFA uses the word "backlash" three times and "blowback" once.
Why? Because Zuckerberg is a coward who is afraid of angering conservatives.
This isn't about money, it's about avoiding an angry mob.

Attached to: Glenn Greenwald Resigns From The Intercept
As far as Glenn, I have a feeling that if he had a case the story would be printed already. Why? He'd basically print it and be right there, daring them to sue him. The fact he hasn't printed it says far more than his fluffy words of poutrage.
https://greenwald.substack.com...
Look at the timestamp of when he published it
Spoiler: It was before your condemnation

Homicide rates don't decrease when you ban guns.
Suicides rates do.
About 60% of people who die from a gun are dead because they killed themselves.
That's an implicit, though rarely discussed, part of the pro-gun argument.
