Aging father, husband, patent attorney, court appointed special advocate, and beekeeper. I've got an opinion on just about everything, but I'll try to keep most of them to myself.

It's not. Just a couple of weeks ago I toured the brand-new high school my county built to replace the 70-year-old high school that I attended something less than 70 years ago - the gleaming new auto shop, metal shop, and wood shop facilities are AMAZING.

Today, August 4, 2026, is the setting of Ray Bradbury’s short story “There Will Come Soft Rains” about a fully automated house continuing on after the family who lived there and the world around it died in a nuclear blast.

This is nuts. Somebody indicated that this is not a copyright issue because of the rights granted/given away by the author - I have no idea whether that is the case, but if it is, we really need to beef up moral rights under U.S. copyright law.

This is bullshit. Is it corrupt for someone in a position of power to solicit gifts with a non-binding promise to reward the giver with favorable actions later? Of course it is. Does it make a difference if that promise is implicit? Not morally or ethically.

Yeah, I was actually impressed with how solid and thorough the advice appears to be. Lawyers don't make the decisions for their client, but are obligated to give the best advice and representation that they can. (That's different from whether they can lie in court or make bad-faith arguments.)

I don't know what this means, but I'm certain that it's very clever.

A whole bunch of people are going to be confused today when they discover that stocks going down by 15% and then going back up by 10% does not mean that they're only down by 5%. Instead, they're down 6.5% ...

This is hard to dispute. If China decides to call his bluff, to see if they can break him once and for all, it could get a lot worse before it gets better.

This complaint is really nicely done. It does a great job of highlighting the ever-shifting justifications offered by the school system. They obviously picked the wrong student to mess with, and for what? This was an event that would have gone completely without notice.

Rep. McGovern: "What the hell is going on here? And their cabinet picks so far -- I mean, these are like beyond insane. Someone who is credibly accused of having sex with an underaged girl ... someone who has said tap water turns kids gay. I mean, this is the dream team? Really?"
