#FactCheck on pre-trial schedule issued today by Judge Torres (1/2)

- @Ripple is NOT "going on trial"

- Judge Torres' ruling that the XRP token is not a security is NOT going to trial

- The trial will NOT decide matters of law, only one narrow set of facts in dispute

[Blockchain Backer @BCBacker]

No, they’re not. 😂

They’re appealing the programmatic sales by Ripple.

Not the security status of XRP itself.

🎇XRP’s non-security status can’t be appealed.🎆

😎

Already seeing lots of BTC maxi’s spreading this narrative. Good luck with that! 😂

[Stuart Alderoty @s_alderoty]

The SEC does not have the “right” to appeal just yet which is why they are asking permission to file an “interlocutory” appeal. Ripple will file its response with the Court next week. Stay tuned.

I'm excited to be welcoming XRPL developers and speaking at Apex 2023 in Amsterdam.

@Leerzeit I'll propose to our manager to burn half of our research & advisory reports 😆

Crypto critic/x-SEC official @johnreedstark says there should be an investigation into Bill Hinman. This is broader than Ripple - there could potentially be serious conflicts of interest by a gov official. An investigation will either put it to rest or hold folks accountable.

[CryptoLaw @CryptoLawUS]

As a companion informational tool to the troves of "Hinman emails" now public via @Ripple's legal defense, @EMPOWR_us lawsuits and #XRPArmy sleuths, here is our Video Library consisting entirely of publicly sourced videos of key figures involved in the 2018 Hinman speech stating #ETH was not a security.

It's all their words, not ours. 👇

PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT: We are only at 1.3°C of global heating and the Earth is breaking down like crazy. 1.5°C was NEVER a safe level. But, thanks to fossil fuel industry lies and bribes, we are on track to blow past that and get to 3°C or more which will be hell on Earth

[Jeff Tiedrich @itsJeffTiedrich]

listen up, stupids:
no, the email lady did not contest her election. she conceded after 24 hours. then she fucked off and went home.
Al Gore challenged his election in court, and after he lost, he conceded. and then he fucked off and went home.
Donald Trump refused to concede, and whined and plotted and begged and bullied and conspired with his ace team of parking garage lawyers and eventually sent a mob of armed dipshits to the Capitol to disrupt the certification so he could cling to power.
all because he's a big fucking dirty-diaper baby who couldn't face being a loser.
and now he's fucked and all the lying the world isn't going to change one thing

[Anne Kervers @anne_kervers]

Ik kan wel janken. De rechtbank ziet klimaatcrisis beperken als 'onze doelen' ipv algemeen belang. Een onwetenschappelijke houding en geeft geen gehoor aan uitspraak van Hoge Raad dat mensenrechten van Nederlanders onvoldoende worden beschermd tegen klimaatcrisis.

@JoelKatz @Worldwind06 💯

[David 'JoelKatz' Schwartz @JoelKatz]

A lot of reasons.

First, he's one of the worst boss/managers in history. One of the most critical skills a boss/manager *must* have is to push away "yes men" and get people to report honestly what's not working well to them. Donald Trump is worse at this than anyone I have ever heard of.

Second, he accepted the job of President with no intention of actually *doing* that job and to the extent he actually did thing, they were largely attempts to get the US government to facilitate his personal business.

Third, he is a dishonest man. He deliberately refuses to pay people who have done labor for him, despite knowing he has no legitimate reason to do so, to obtain leverage to get them to accept reduced payments.

Fourth, he is a pathological liar who treats every interaction as a transaction that he must win. He demands loyalty but will burn those who have supported him as soon as he thinks it's to his benefit to do so.

Fifth, he is a stubby-fingered vulgarian who has corroded the quality of public discourse.

Sixth, everything he does turns to garbage. His list of failures is nearly endless, his airline, his magazine, his steak, his vodka, he even bankrupted a casino. How do you even do that? He has no taste and everything he builds or designs looks like the way a child might imagine something expensive would look. This is something he has in common with many of the world's worst dictators.

And, honestly, I've barely scratched the surface.

[AukeHoekstra @AukeHoekstra]

What the hell is going on here? @DailyMailUK claims the emissions of solar panels are much higher based on a "report" by a "researcher".

Turns out it's just some Italian guy talking bollox to a conspiracy loving lobby-group.

I can't believe ppl in the UK call this a newspaper.

[Extreme Temperatures Around The World @extremetemps]

South America is living one of the extreme events the world has ever seen
Unbelievable temperatures up to 38.9C in the Chilean Andine areas in mid winter ! Much more than what Southern Europe just had in mid summer at the same elevation: This event is rewriting all climatic books

[Mr. Huber🔥🦅🔥 @Leerzeit]

I'm officially done with the @SECGov .

I've been following their approach to Ethereum since 2017. I've watched, studied, and evaluated dozens of emails over the past six years in which SEC employees joke about their own bribery.

I'M DONE.

Their conduct is beyond questionable. It's sluggish, costly, and overextended. Their regulatory framework is completely shattered. And they aren't even consistent with their own principles. Offering Ethereum a free pass, regardless of its glaring issues like the founders calling to defraud the public on video!

Non-stop i corruption and flawed decisions (yet they still pat themselves on the back). And I'm not naive enough to overlook their suspicious endorsement of completely shady tech projects.

Possibly the most corrupted organization ever.

@SEC_News failed, and the most disgraceful part is, over the last six years no one has presented a legitimate alternative.

$CONGRESS LOL
$DOJ incapable/corrupted
$CFTC Complicit

Everything else, also corrupt and complicit. I loathe this lack of financial integrity. The most degraded 'industry' ever crafted.

Here's a thread in pictures about the Atlantic overturning circulation #AMOC which is making headlines this week. I've studied this topic since 1991 and will show key data and models & some video.

🔥🌍📈BREAKING @NASA 📈🌍🔥

The Earth's Energy Imbalance from NASA satellite data reached 1.97 W/m² (12-month mean)!!

I called this the most important graph in the world.

This helps to explain all the records currently being broken around the word!

Apologies in advance for not explaining this in any way, but here are the daily standard deviations for Antarctic sea ice extent for every day, 1989-2023, based on the 1991-2020 mean. Each blue line represents the SD's for a full year. Lighter is more recent.

2023 is in red.
