I have been saying I have ennui.
Man, you just get darker and darker, and the weird thing is, your aura? Beige.

I just saw my dad for the first time in OVER A YEAR. Socially distanced with no hugs, because I'm not vaccinated yet, but I SAW MY DAD!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I like to say I have ennui, Sophia, but I’m not sure it’s true. I’m an ennui poseur.

That is wonderful, Atropa.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Yay, Matilda, and yay, shrift!
Also second shot (Pfizer) achieved, and cheering on everyone getting stabbinated.
Also also--I'm almost afraid to believe in the verdict, in case they snatch it back on some technicality.

Hec, I'm so glad you and Matilda caught the emails in time. I hope the job is good for Matilda. I'm so sorry she's had such a difficult year.

The Judge already said that Maxine Waters' comment could be grounds for Appeal.
No. Every actual appellate lawyer (and the judge is not one) says that for it to be grounds for appeal there has to be a finding of a direct link -- a juror who heard the statement, brought it into the jury room and that MW being angry at them affected decision making. Can't be speculative in any way.

Thanks, Sparky1. I thought the judge was rebuking Waters' comments and trying to tap down public statements. Still wish they had been sequestered, but I'm hoping that won't be cause for (successful) appeal.

Sequestration is really rare - really, really, rare - almost never happens and most prosecutors go their whole career without asking for it.
That said, my mother sat on a notorious trial that lasted 9 months and she was sequestered for 2 weeks.
