Nothing in the mobile app, either ☹️.

Only about 50% of the time recently.

Do you hate free speech?

Ah, ok. I’m misremembering. It’s only channel one that didn’t exist. Just looked it up and apparently the FCC reallocated it in 1948 because it was causing interference with another use.

It should have been opened in June but was delayed by Trump. Ambassador bridge owner paid money into Trump PAC. It’s all there in the article under History -> Delayed Opening.

In June, The Detroit News reported that invitations were being sent out for a ribbon-cutting ceremony on June 12, with the bridge open to the public shortly after.[96] On the day before the planned ceremony it was announced that the event had been cancelled and that the opening of the bridge was delayed indefinitely to “resolve any outstanding issues”.[97][98]. Carney said that the delay had been requested by the United States, and representatives for Trump stated that his position had not changed since February.[99]

The New York Times subsequently reported that billionaire Matthew Moroun (who owns the Ambassador Bridge) had lobbied the Trump administration prior to the announcement.[91][92] The ranking member of the United States House Oversight Committee, Robert Garcia, opened an investigation into Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick’s earlier meeting with Moroun, sending Lutnick a letter requesting communications related to that meeting.[93] Filings released February 20 showed that Moroun donated US$1 million to MAGA Inc., a Trump-affiliated super PAC, less than a month before Trump’s announcement.[94][95]

Was there a station that broadcast on channel 3? I remember TVs growing up often (always?) having support for both channels 3 and 4 as auxiliary inputs. Also, what happened to channels 1 and 2?

Got ‘em.

I proper shit post would have suggested “mm/dd/yyyy”.

Either way, it’s getting filled in.

This is not even a joke for WestJet.

Ghana and half of Togo.

It’s not about interrupting the speaker, it’s about the procedure. Boring legal stuff. Refer to funny anecdote I shared from Calgary (I realize Canada and US may do some things differently).

At the risk of being called a bootlicker, they weren’t just saying stuff and clapping, they were interrupting official meetings and asked to be dragged out.

Is this an abuse of power? Probably. How many people have been asked to leave or arrested for supporting the commissioners agenda? If this guy was disruptive (he did refuse to leave), did that deserve arrest? I don’t think so

I think it’s just to not disrupt the proceedings. If you want to speak to an issue you can register as a delegation.

I’m reminded of a funny incident during a recent Calgary council meeting where a delegation was asked to stop clapping — they could continue singing, but I guess clapping is against the rules of decorum: https://youtu.be/UQRi4FpEj34 at about 4:55.

At city council or committee meetings the gallery is not allowed to make noise. They are there only to observe.

The gallery was especially noisy at this meeting and was warned to be quiet multiple times. Just because no one is speaking does not mean the gallery is allowed to clap.

Disrupting civil proceedings is not. I applaud (heh) his actions, but they are not protected by the first amendment.

Edit: But an arrest seems extreme. He should have just been removed.

After this was pointed out, prosecutors took another look. They agreed that Klayme’s appeal should be allowed. Had the case been properly investigated, the court says now, evidence “would have identified an individual whose first name is Jay whose IP address appears to be in California.”

Apparently the prosecutor has no responsibility to ensure that evidence is real before arguing it in court?

Hopefully this guy at least gets some serious cash for this fuck up.

The word is bikeshedding.

I suppose you want me to put pants on, too!
