It seems like the kind of issue a judge would see right away, so it sounds like he bears some responsibility, too. But I can’t imagine not responding to a lawsuit, so idk what JS was thinking.

I went to a college football game years ago, in a much smaller stadium than where several of these matches will be held. The heat & humidity was awful; every vendor ran out of bottled water. Ppl passed out, several were taken to hospitals in ambos. The stadium didn’t care. Never again. This is nuts.

4) Politicians who are suddenly tech-friendly, but overriding local ordnances, w/o explanation, try aiding techbros w/o any public oversight. (see Pulaski County, AR. 5) Bad actors (Musk, Thiel, Altman, etc.) have done a stellar job of showing us why we shouldn’t help/trust them in any way. ###

2) the proliferation of videos of the noise & the impact on people’s lives; 3) the increased realization that AI is pushing into every part of people’s lives. (Ex: you can’t even write a text message without having AI Jagoff waving its hands, demanding it can do it better.);

As someone else mentioned in one of the threads, I think of NIMBY as primarily about objections to housing (group homes, unhoused people, etc.). And occasionally, something like a nuclear power plant or pig farm. But this seems to be the result of 1) ppl hearing about water & electric bill increases

6. Republicans will use Callais to give themselves up to 19 more seats in the House of Representatives (probably fewer; I'd guess closer to 10). But Democrats can use it to "unpack" their VRA districts and flip a bunch of red districts. In fact, courts might force them to. slate.com/news-and-pol...
