Physics is ruthless about this. “Temperature” is not vibes; it’s average kinetic energy, measurable in specific ways. Many social and psychological terms are fuzzier, but the same instinct applies: translate poetry into knobs and dials.”

The questioning by #GymJordan about #CassidyHutchinson was made-for-TV drama.
#JackSmith didn’t need to characterize whether he “thought” Hutchinson was a liar.
Her testimony was #hearsay. Hearsay does not hold up in #court. That’s all he had to say.
Unfortunately Jordan actually found a way to politicize Smith’s measured response that he hadn’t made a final decision on a witness list.

To go on with my advice (that is, supposing
You need advice from me): Be careful about
The things you say and the people to whom you say them.
Avoid the man who asks too many questions.
No question but he’ll be a teller of tales;
An ear that eager can’t keep a secret for long,
And once a word slips out it won’t come back.
[Protinus ut moneam (si quid monitoris eges tu)
quid de quoque viro et cui dicas, saepe videto,
percontatorem fugito: nam garrulus idem est,
nec retinent patulae commissa fideliter aures,
et semel emissum volat irrevocabile verbum.]
Horace (65–8 BC) Roman poet, satirist, soldier, politician [Quintus Horatius Flaccus]
Epistles [Epistularum, Letters], Book 1, ep. 18 “Lollius,” l. 67ff (1.18.67-71) (20 BC) [tr. Ferry (2001)]

Quick #hearsay explainer.
Generally, admissions against your interest are admissible in criminal court. Statements in support of your interests are NOT admissible. So, only the statements about how you are guilty are presented to the court. Your statements of your innocence are not presented unless you testify. And, most people should not testify no matter how innocent, as a good prosecutor can usually make you sound guilty.
A quotation from Bertrand Russell
Very few people can resist saying malicious things about their acquaintances, and even on occasion about their friends; yet when people hear that anything has been said against themselves, they are filled with indignant amazement.
Bertrand Russell (1872-1970) English mathematician and philosopher
Conquest of Happiness, Part 1, ch. 8 “Persecution Mania” (1930)

@drdrang @siracusa Call it #hearsay, but a friend shared his #frustrating #experience with a 1 y/o #MacBook Air. The #SSD failed mid-video edit, so he went to the #AppleStore in #NYC. At the #GeniusBar, the tech said (paraphrased): “If you came yesterday, your #warranty would cover it. Today it’s $700. Better to buy a new one.”
Hard to square with all those stories of happy #Apple #customers who were #overjoyed when the company went the extra mile to keep them #SatisfiedCustomer

Abyss reflects Anika’s desire to create a space where people can unite and feel free to express themselves amidst the chaos of the world.
Tracks like “One Way Ticket” critique the rise of fascism, while “Hearsay” takes on the divisiveness of fake news, revealing Anika’s determination to confront the complexities of our current moment.

Este domingo veo a la fantástica #Anika y no puede gustarme más #Hearsay, el adelanto de su próximo álbum Abyss. Me suena moderna y antigua a la vez.

A quotation from Hugo, Victor:
«
M. Myriel had to submit to the fate of every newcomer in a small town, where many tongues talk but few heads think.
[M. Myriel devait subir le sort de tout nouveau venu dans une petite ville où il y a beaucoup de bouches qui parlent et fort peu de têtes qui pensent.]

Dear Friends of #heresy and not #hearsay, 🦋
As you may know some people are not #religious. The only known cure is #conversion, #death or the need to #realise more than certainty. :gi:
As a born never again #incarceration of the #Jains of #olde, I have been involved in many dialects of mystification.
1. Brought up a drowned/baptised Cat-alcoholic teetotaller from a #Protestant lineage
2. Interested in #Witchcraft, #Buddhism and Father #Christmas from an early age
3. Keen on enlightenment, avoiding #Nuns, #Magick 🫠
Somehow, as you may know, By the Grace of #Almighty COD, these interests drove me #insane, #woke and #empathic, in no particular order.
Obviously I eventually had to order the chaos. Joined several orderings to sort my life and laff out. I did and can now re-veil and #reveal:
1. There is no cad but C-D or #Yodin as she is sometimes known :gi:
2. #Breathing is a useful indication of #life but not essential in Samadhi :ablobcatcoffee:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samadhi
3. Code is nothing without #commentary... :ablobcatbongokeyboard:
In other words, if you are #happy or #blissful, carry on. Unless #blissfully #ignorant, in which case you are on the wrong #path, in the wrong Bath. Sort out your #Self, even if you never had one or are sure it exists. :ablobcatgoogly:

Yeah, Ford hunted down unions and their foremen with clubs.
The Pope's office in Rome had the right hand side of the original cross burnt while chanting from 'Brave new world' in 1962.
Beelzebub denied him access out of fear.
Donald T. at 19, happily traded his new Mustang in for a Camaro with 120k on the clock.
In Europe and parts of Asia, 'Henry' means Adolf.
In parts of Germany, road tax is higher and max speed lower for US Fords.
And there it is:
“I think it’s relevant,” Justice #Merchan says, but he hasn’t decided if he’ll allow it. He says he wants to research defense argument that it’s #hearsay.
Prosecution argues the #evidence isn’t hearsay because an earlier expert witness laid the foundation to show it to jurors.
The evidence goes toward rebutting #Blanche’s argument that #MichaelCohen lied about speaking to #Trump on 24 Oct.
Obviously the defense wants to keep this piece of evidence from the jury.
While #jurors were on break, the #lawyers argued about a complex #legal matter involving #hearsay in certain exhibits. Defense succeeded in not allowing in texts between #DylanHoward, editor of The #NationalEnquirer in 2016, & a family member about Trump's election. But Justice #Merchan also endorsed prosecution's interpretation of #Pecker's arrangement w/ #Trump & #MichaelCohen as a #conspiracy.
