Pretty much every Megaman Battle Network game starts with a sequence of "this is what happens when your oven gets cyberhacked". This is some real 20XX news.

I saw many statements from politicians about October 7th that in addition to mourning the Jews and Israelis who were killed, also lamented the Palestinians who have been killed since then. I wanted to put some thoughts together as to why I found the statements hollow.

two sets of four "wisemind" memes from jdragsky, confidently incomprehensible unreality playing on dbt jargon. they say things like "cyber-saint intercession / the material / my stupid little brain" and "a Reply Woad logging on to post his opinions"another set of jay's wisemind memes including "hyperghouls / online wisdom / a gun" and "the nameless / cybersaints / reformed hyperghouls / me / non-heretical cryptoclasts / even fuckin parasite-lords" all laughing at "woads"a non-jay-posted but jay-approved wisemind meme with the captions "sectarian terror asps" and "gimmie da wisemind" overlaid on a raccoonjay: "this meme gets where i'm at pretty definitively #wisemind" the meme depicts two children fighting and a third flashing double thumbs up and a grin at the viewer. labels indicate "my best friend" is wielding "her wiseblade" against "my mental illness / falsenoise / branding / all the evils and terrors of the world" and the smiling kid is "me"

1. Of course social security is high modernism. It reduces people to a number then takes gives everyone a benefit without an examination of their particular circumstances.

The overwhelming majority of residential tenants in NJ are protected by the Anti-Eviction Act N.J.S.A. 2a:18-61.1. Protected tenants can only be evicted for one of the causes set out in the act. Notably the end of a lease term is *not* a cause for eviction.

I have been out of law school for too long to really have opinions on the exam structure. I will note that law school grades exist to separate the student population into the "gets a big law interview" and "doesn't" (That cut off / percentage depends on school rank). Everything else does not matter.

Newark Penn station is such a good station. Ignoring its great functionality, we don’t decorate waiting rooms like this any more. Three sides memorializing the advancement of transportation

When I hear things like this I am torn. On one hand, condo associations need to pay for things like structural maintenance. Too many complexes have too many repairs that they can't afford. General inflation is making these repairs & services more expensive.

All strategy games suffer from this in some form or another. Games condense complex realities into easy to digest metrics and then presents that information to the player easily. With apologies to the late James C. Scott I call the problem "Seeing like a Sid Meier's Civilization".

When Alito announces a "general rule that the Constitution almost never permits the Federal Government or a State to discriminate on the basis of race" he is making a deliberately sloppy argument.

In my experience (8 years of L/T law, 5 of them at my local legal services & a big shiny award), small landlords are impulsive. They are either conflict averse and will fix things immediately if pressured or will illegally lock out a tenant if they lose their temper.

When I was in lawschool, I saw Whelan speak at a fedsoc event. He spent the hour gloating and generally revealed himself to be a naked partisan hack. And the kids have no idea who he is. Respecting your elders is for that old and busted conservative movement not the new memes & fash based one.

The government losing on merits in a rational basis standard of review used to be unheard of. The government not even bothering to make up a reason for the court to have to take seriously is con law incompetence.

Discworld QOTD, from Night Watch
People on the side of The People always ended up disappointed, in any case. They found that The People tended not to be grateful or appreciative or forward-thinking or obedient. The People tended to be small-minded and conservative and not very clever and were even distrustful of cleverness. And so the children of the revolution were faced with the age-old problem: it wasn’t that you had the wrong kind of government, which was obvious, but that you had the wrong kind of people.

Look, I don't want to show hardcore pornography to minors. I really don't. But I also think that it is bullshit that states have some non-textual historic interest in making sure that minors don't see porn. Why don't minors have free speech rights to see porn?

I am ~50 pages into the Nationwide Injunction decision (Half way through Kavanaugh's concurrence) and what is really funny is that for all that Barrett criticized Jackson for extolling judicial supremacy, Kavanaugh is suggesting the same thing! In his view, every injunction will be decided by SCOTUS
