The Blackboard

Some of you have already learned that CEI won the summary judgment to not be sued by Mann. The case against Symberg continues. The court also made decision about expert witnesses, excluding 7 proposed by Mann’s side and 1 of 2 proposed by the defendants. The reasons some were excluded made me laugh. But the exclusion I found most interesting is that of Raymond S. Bradley, D.Sc, the “B” in MBH. I’m going to mostly just post text from the ruling.

We’d discussed the the “F*** cheer” incident when it was argued at SCOTUS. By now many of you know the cheerleader won. The school and school board did violate her 1st amendment rights when they kicked her off the cheersquad for her Snapchat outburts.

The spam filter is blocking spam, but also some people. The stated reason is “invalid token”.
The filter (WP Bruiser) “saves” the blocked comments for 30 days, but it puts them in a special purpose report and I don’t seem to be able to move them to comments. I also seem to only be able to see recently blocked comments. So I can’t find everyone who has been blocked. :(

Looks like Moderna has phase 2 trials underway to test boosters that include spike proteins for variants. Test results look optimistic.
