Courtesy Marcy Wheeler, the following is the entire first paragraph from special prosecutor Jack Smith's (Anti) Immunity Brief in the case of The United States of America v. Donald Trump.
Very strong, straightforward language.
Courtesy Marcy Wheeler, the following is the entire first paragraph from special prosecutor Jack Smith's (Anti) Immunity Brief in the case of The United States of America v. Donald Trump.
Very strong, straightforward language.
Essentially, Smith has cut out the White House/official business ties to make it clear that Mr. Trump acted culpably as a private person/candidate with 'no official role' in the election fraud case.
This was necessary given the Supreme Court's 6-3 ruling that US'ian Presidents are immune from prosecution when they engage in official acts.
Importantly, it was the (non-supreme) judge in the case who unsealed portions of Mr. Smith's brief in redacted form.
This could get most interesting as folks work to figure out who all the redacted co-conspirators are. Ms. Wheeler, who really, really pays attention to this stuff, has already thrown the first pitch in that particular name game.

On to Ms. Wheeler's blog. Ms. Wheeler's blog is excellent. When things get complicated, she explains everything.
eaf - Yes, indeed. Her podcast 'Ball of Thread', which is an explainer not a gabfest, is also excellent.

So, in the Excited States, according to the US Supreme Court, Is treason now an "official" act?
It seems "treasonous acts" is now part of the American politcal culture and to think we have problems in Canada with Tweedle Dee, Tweedle Dum and Tweedle Duh, running for Prime Minister!
Actually I watch Kieth Olbermann, Brian Tyler Cohen, and the Meidas Touch Network. A lot of muck raking, legal and journalistic opinions to ponder.
Ms Wheeler can also be found on Mastodon as well.
Read Empty Wheel and it was such a fun read. The document which was released had blacked out names. Ms. Wheeler and others have identified them and reported out on who is who. That is what I like about the blog. Others who follow the blog are very informed Americans who share their information.
Hi Ross,
Off topic, I know, but I came across this and figured this must be up your ally.
That and you probably knew before we did about what these people have been studying and how it’s been going.

Definitely...We're using their AI tool, AlphaFold, right now to predict the structure of a protein we're messing around with right now!...It's a pretty amazing tool as it allows dopes like me, who are not structural biologists, to pretend they are.
A more scientific, but still understandable, description of what they've done and what the tool does is....Here.

Ross- Shoot, I wish I’d known they were building up a Protein Data Bank, I would have brought down my box of Cryo-electron microscopy images. 🤠Yeah right.
This part sounds incredible…” In 2021, DeepMind made AlphaFold2’s underlying code freely available, along with the data needed to train the model. An AlphaFold database, created with the European Molecular Biology Laboratory’s European Bioinformatics Institute in Hinxton, UK, now holds the structures of almost all the proteins from every organism represented in genetic databases, some 214 million predictions in total. This year, the company unveiled a third version of AlphaFold, which can model other molecules that interact with proteins such as drugs.”
I recently watched a Netflix series with Bill Gates titled What’s Next? One episode was about AI and all that it could do, might do, is doing etc. Gates figures the biggest things it could do would be in medicine and research. It ability to store, scan and interpret images and information from so many sources and use it to make suggestions, diagnosis and even predictions is amazing.
Exciting times for you and, I am glad to read from the article you linked, that this new tech is leading to more jobs in the research business not less as some have feared.
Ya - we're moving past the gene sequence stuff to the hard, gene product/functional stuff now, and these tools are really helpful...To be clear, though, you've still got to do the real functional experiments in cells, tissues and organisms.
