Hey folks, no VR this week because Lydia and I are traveling. (We're in Boston, going to record RRF live together with Matt!) But folks NEED to hear this episode of Gavel Gavel we did. It's so absurd.

Gavel Gavel Episode 83:

Thomas, Lydia, and Matt dig into a newly released federal indictment out of Minneapolis, where ICE's undercover operation, officially named Operation Puppet Master, has charged roughly 15 protesters under the same statute as the sandwich guy. The conspiracy map names a boxing club, a bike club, and some of the largest unions in America. The overt acts include renting a U-Haul, exchanging Signal messages, and being introduced to someone named Sam.

Part 2 gets into the HSI undercover memos and the defense's discovery motion. You can get it right now at patreon.com/gavelpod.

Cases discussed:

United States v. Sant et al. (D. Minn.)

United States v. Rabbitt et al. (Broadview indictment)

Patrons at patreon.com/gavelpod get episodes early and ad-free!

VMLs last day as a GC is Oct 30 next project TBA

I'm trying to update my Patreon name and keep getting a message saying my name can't contain special characters and to edit and try again. First off, since when is an apostrophe a special character? Second off, even if I newspeak it all the way down to Vehicular Mans Laughter, I still get the same dumb message. Fix your buggy garbage, Patreon, and let us have our inside jokes and references every Wednesday!

Well, I'm not reading that on air...

They need to fix their shit, ffs. It's entirely possible that the issue is that your current Patreon name has the apostrophe and they aren't accounting for it on the (whichever, but probably Android) interface and you're running into an issue of them using different code in different places. Report it to them with a timeframe when you tried to make the changes and see what happens. If that doesn't work, I can describe a completely unrelated story where a local amusement park had a policy that would only let you change your email by calling them. However, if you played with the text you submitted through the form and changed your email to the correct new email, it would send you the "you can't do that, please call the office" error while also sending you a confirmation email to your new email address that it had been updated successfully.

[1] In my experience in software development, the most common technical definition of a "special character" is "any character that's neither alphabetic nor numeric". By that definition even periods and commas are special characters, despite how commonly they occur. [2] There's an important distinction between a straight quote and a typographic, i.e. slanted and/or curly, quote: The former is part of the ISO/IEC 8859-1 character encoding ("character set") while the latter is not. Some software rejects any input that can't be encoded as ISO/IEC 8859-1, especially if the input is to go into a database. That's an obsolete restriction, but it's still encountered sometimes. Meanwhile other software automatically converts straight quotes to typographic quotes, thus creating conflicts. Upshot is, do what you can to input the simpler, non-typographic, so-called "foot mark" rather than any form of typographic quote mark or apostrophe. Unfortunately, though, it may be out of your control.

Your insight is well-received. However, the error message comes even when I input *purely* alphanumeric characters, e.g. "Vehicular Mans Laughter confirming Griff recently changed to tired 2L" so ... pretty sure it's random bugginess. As you can see, my *current* Patreon name has the ' in it. It was not problematic before. Pretty sure this is the *straight quote* you mentioned.

Hoping congressional Dems are ready to rumble

Yeah, I was having the same problem. Looks like Patreon fucked up the display of the error message-- when I put in a long alphanumeric name and look in dev tools, the response JSON says "Name contains invalid characters or is invalid length" but that's not what they're displaying on the page ☠️ Looks like it's limiting to 50 chars now 😢 Vehicular Man's Laughter, I'm right after you in the list-- wanna borrow some characters? Let me know what I should change my name to :)

Big T brings up an excellent point: I've seen cases where a party is captioned something like Frederick "Tex" Avery and you don't need to prove that's the party's nickname. I could file a contract case captioned Gmork vs. Tommy "No Feet" Smith and that would just be the docket.

Something went wrong with Patreon's RSS feed for this episode - it only lists this as a [PREVIEW], and only contains the first 4 minutes and 9 seconds.
