    'I'm not a cat': Video shows lawyer can't turn off kitten filter during Zoom court appearance

    "If a child used your computer, before you join a virtual hearing check the Zoom Video Options to be sure filters are off," a Texas judge said of the incident.

    A virtual courtroom hearing came to an abrupt paws in southwest Texas on Tuesday when an attorney inadvertently appeared on screen as a computer-filter-generated cat.

    The mundane civil forfeiture hearing took a hilarious turn when Presidio County Attorney Rod Ponton arrived in Zoom court in the form of a fluffy white and brown kitten.

    For about 30 somewhat awkward, but mostly funny seconds, Ponton struggled to remove the filter.

    With other lawyers on screen wryly smiling, 394th Judicial District Court Judge Roy Ferguson tried to walk Ponton through keystrokes. Ponton said he was ready to proceed even in his feline form.

    "I'm prepared to go forward with it. I'm here live, I'm not a cat," Ponton said.

    Ferguson had a laugh over the kitten court catastrophe and praised all lawyers involved.

    "If a child used your computer, before you join a virtual hearing check the Zoom Video Options to be sure filters are off," Ferguson tweeted. "This kitten just made a formal announcement on a case in the 394th."

    Ponton said he was forced to use his secretary's computer, because the office was in the midst of a move.

    "If I could make everyone laugh at my expense I'm happy to do that," Ponton told NBC News hours after the hearing. "It's an example of what can happen in our computer connected world."

    The judge said the lawyers are like millions of other Americans, trying to make the best of unconventional work settings caused by the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

    "These fun moments are a by-product of the legal profession's dedication to ensuring that the justice system continues to function in these tough times," Ferguson tweeted. "Everyone involved handled it with dignity, and the filtered lawyer showed incredible grace. True professionalism all around!"

    WTF. Now some riot police staff basically helped the anarchists to walk down the stairs. (Probably out of fear, they would sue the government in case they fell down the stairs.) Seriously? Those people are there illegally, they have committed a crime, they should be arrested but not safe guarded. 

    They destroyed some ZDF equipment outside the building I actually watched the news with the reporter at 9:45, hope the Reporter is okay

    The Szájer scandal unfolds: Orgy host says the MEP organised a similar party in his home

    News spread like wildfire that police recently shut down an illegal sex party in Brussels. The case became of interest in Hungary when it was revealed that former Hungarian MEP József Szájer was attending this party, and most probably this is the reason for his resignation. Now, the organiser of the party shares new details. More details are being revealed about the scandal around former Hungarian Member of the European Parliament (MEP) József Szájer, who attended an illegal orgy organised in Brussels. The party was illegal because it violated Belgium’s lockdown rules. 25 people attended, mostly men.

    The party was organised by David Manzheley, who shared some details with Danish news portal De Standaard, Index reports. Manzheley said that attendees of the event came from a gay group he met in Brussels. The host has never met Szájer before, only when he briefly introduced himself at the beginning of the night.

    Szájer told the host of the orgy that he himself organised a similar “party” in his home in the past. :erotica:

    Manzheley also shared the news that he does not know how the fleeing Szájer could have been dressed because when the police showed up, Szájer was in another room, having sex with one of the participants of the party.

    Manzheley learnt only later that Szájer was a Member of the European Parliament and also a known homophobe in Hungary. He deems his actions extremely hypocritical. However, Szájer is not the only hypocritical politician he knows, he added.

    Szájer was not the only politician attending Manzheley illegal party. An Estonian diplomat was also there that night, confirmed by the Tallin Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The diplomat was charged with violating lockdown rules.

    Estonian Foreign Affairs spokesman Aari Lemmik called it unfortunate that their diplomat had not complied with the lockdown rules in Belgium. However, he revealed no further details about the case.

    15 people at a funeral 😞 he LOVED people. he was so scared to die. he wasnt an introvert like me. if he knew about this it would crush him. 

    I couldnt even see him anymore at the hospital. They promised they'd call if he got worse and that I could visit him, but they didnt. our last call was so.. blasé.. banal.. if only i knew. he sounded so great.. i never expected it to happen so quickly.. he seemed fine.

    Has anyone been to the morgue to visit loved ones who died during corona? they put them in BAGS. They wrote "COVID" on the bag next to his face. They covered his mouth with a mask! It makes me so angry!!

    He died right before my birthday. I posted about this on my twitter this morning & didnt get one reply (cuz Im a M fan account, not a personal account, but STILL) so I got a little pissed seeing no one responded to what I said here.. But Im relieved to read your reply now. I cant take it personally. I shouldnt even be mad at any of you cuz I love you all. Sorry for being a little emotional about it..

    all I can say is I hope no one here has to experience losing a loved one when your country can't handle a pandemic. it's COLD.. 😞

    I'm sorry Nikki 😞
