I’d be willing to give up my brush for AI art because I can’t draw or paint anything more complex than stick figures. Still, any competent artist could do far better without AI than I could with AI.
The words “full stop” should not be followed by more words.
Thanks for fighting this fight. But may I nitpick and ask whether you mean that the bill “incorrectly conflates antisemitism and UNprotected speech”?
Or maybe I’ve been using “conflate” incorrectly for years.
One of Trump’s many despicable legacies will be that, for many more decades, knowing someone who was hurt by polio won’t be something that only old people remember.
One grandfather was a butcher. The other kept the trains running on time in his part of California. He didn’t serve in the military in WWII because, when he was a kid, polio gave him a life-long limp, & folks also thought keeping the trains running on time was also kinda important to the war effort.

When I see sets of old photos of members of a counties bar, I try to take the time to look to see when then first woman shows up and when the first non-white person shows up. It’s often disturbingly recent. As in maybe 50-60 years ago.
My guess is that it took quite a bit of courage and strength to be the only woman in that photo.
Head shots of a couple hundred white men with a yellowed frame & the words BENCH AND BAR OF DAYTON, Ohio , 1923. The photo of attorney Moore is circled in red.
A head shot of “Bessie D Moore” a white woman with a short hair cut and a serious look.
Bessie Moore. Not a household name, but in 1917, she became the first woman to be a member of the Dayton bar. I noticed her because she’s the only woman in this set of photos of the 1923 “Bench & Bar of Dayton, Ohio” in the Montgomery Cty law library. A brief biography of you scroll down at the link
He’ll pronounce it, “Strait of America”

If you’re allowed to be frivolous, can you be *really* frivolous, like maritime law frivolous? Basing your argument on “Kant on evidentiary approaches in eighteenth-century Bulgaria” frivolous?

We were taken on an organized bus tour, which, given our relaxed schedule and short time there, was a good way to get an overview of the place.
I know, not ground breaking ideas.
Fun fact: If you wear an analog watch, you won’t have to change it from EDT. OK, maybe only I think that was fun.
It’s been 10+ years, and it was only a couple of days before heading into Guangzhou, but the hotel breakfasts were awesome and delicious—a buffet of all sorts of food from many different cultures. So, check out the hotel’s breakfast buffet. I think this is was normal for nicer hotels.
Make it a contest for local middle schoolers, who are really good at this kind of thing.

He’s right that “It will be something very special.”
Get NYC, Philly, Cleveland, Chicago & Detroit trying to one-up each other.
Jean Carroll Beat Trump’s Way
Small Hands Ave.
Fake Gold Ave.
Fraudster Ave.
Come on. It’s NY. They can find the perfect way to say FU to the guy.
Yes. Even better.
This is exactly the kind of non-violent guerrilla tactics that blue cities should use on MAGA and those who cave to MAGA.
Trump Tower should be on “Obama Avenue,” or something even better.
Glad you and your client are safe. Congrats on the successful “angry goose shit,” which, btw, is a great phrase that should be term of art.
Update: situation mostly resolved, but i don't think it's ok that I need to be like an obsessed angry goose to keep people safe
The critic threw his lawyer-jargon rocks from a glass house—and missed.
(I acknowledge that the decision not to pay is probably legal. Anyone who does business with these gambling sites assumes the risk that they’ll be swindled in a way that they can do nothing about.)
Two evergreen (alas) lines:
Some will rob you with a six-gun
And some with a fountain pen
If he were alive today, Woodie Guthrie’s lines from Pretty Boy Floyd might be:
Some will rob you with a six gun
Some with terms of service
I like the lesson that these gambling sites (call them what they are) can really screw over people who act based on the common subjective understanding of the terms, even when that subjective understanding is objectively unreasonable. .
