  Does anyone believe the government delayed Mirandizing Tsarnaev because of fear of a ticking-bomb-style threat?

• Glenn Greenwald:
  Anyone? RT @tnyCloseRead Does anyone believe the government delayed Mirandizing Tsarnaev because of fear of a ticking-bomb-style threat?

@ggreenwald I’m still unclear why Mirandizing is presumed bad—only “helpful” if suspect is ignorant of 5th Amendment rights.

@nazgul No argument: we need better safety nets in general for low wage earners, not just during crises.

@nazgul Also the case that with a dragnet of thousands, easy to think a suicide attack is reasonable alternative.

• Kee Hinckley:
  My first reaction was, “but it was a bombing”. But this is right, the shutdown actually slowed finding the suspec…

@nazgul I think it’s questionable that it *did* slow it down, only that it *might* have. My thoughts here: http://www.jeffporten.com/?p=6262 

• Kee Hinckley:
  @jeffporten it’s impossible to say. But at some point we have to say, what cost to freedom (and income) are willing to spend?

@nazgul But seems to me there’s a big difference between “suspect with gun” and “suspect with explosives”. Not just damage, but perception.

• Kee Hinckley:
  @jeffporten I agree. Bombs do give me pause. I’m not sure where to draw the line there.

@nazgul Most of us are surprised he’s still alive, and I’m guessing he might be as well.

• Kee Hinckley:
  @jeffporten A day at home to me meant nothing. I worked remote. To a minimum wage earner, that’s missed meals.

  I tried an oyster for the first time and I have to say it was basically a cold glob of monster semen.

@emmastory Add horseradish until that association goes away.

• Mike Monteiro:
  And technically we DON’T have the same rights. For example, I can’t be President. Which is annoying.

@Mike_FTW “Fuck you. Vote for me” WOULD be a bracing campaign slogan.

• Joe Kissell:
  @jeffporten Menu didn’t specify. Is that important?

@joekissell depends. Do you enjoy trichinosis?

• Joe Kissell:
  @jeffporten Never tried it, but I like having new experiences. Does it go well with sake?

@joekissell Cold or hot?

• Joe Kissell:
  @jeffporten Let’s just say I like my sake like I like my bacon. Also: like.

@joekissell Note to self: Joe prefers Canadian thick-sliced sake.

• Alyssa Rosenberg:
  NBC says Tsarnaev was Mirandized by the FBI. Good.

“@AlyssaRosenberg: NBC says Tsarnaev was Mirandized by the FBI. Good.” // FBI’s way of saying, “Fuck you, Lindsay Graham.”

• Stephan Jones:
  @jeffporten @AlyssaRosenberg That, or “we had better not leave any possible procedural loopholes open for this guy.

• Jesse Spector:
  Did they ever find that green Honda from this afternoon?

@jessespector was already in custody when announced, retracted 30 mins later

• Jesse Spector:
  @jeffporten Which I guess is why it stopped being reported.

@jessespector well, that hasn’t really been a prerequisite this week.

  @dnanian I am trying to sync a folder with a drive. Can I mount the folder as a volume to make SD do that?

• Dave Nanian:
  @GlennF Alas, no – we’re not designed to copy into a folder. Sorry, Glenn!

• Glenn Fleishman:
  @dnanian Was thinking I could mount a folder as a volume, though. Can’t figure out how. I can in Unix…

@GlennF @dnanian Image it in Disk Utility.

@sethmnookin @nprfreshair Thought it was perfectly appropriate, considering how much false information was flying around.
