My advice is to feed no cans of worms to courts, and it does not strike me as better to feed the same can to two courts/four judges than two different cans.

I mean, this is absurdly early, but it's also interesting to me that people still like radio when they could create their own personal playlist of just stuff they want to listen to. (And tbc, I get it: I like radio too. It's a much better way to be introduced to new music than algorithms.)

The easiest way to know that these lyrics are fake is that they are incredibly badly written which is the one thing that Eminem would never do. He will say the most vile horrific garbage but will do so with an immaculate control of the rhythm of language.

Listening to an NPR story about a gambling addict who got himself placed on do-not-let-me-gamble lists and then got hooked again on Kalshi, which claims not to need gambling, and the penury of these companies cannot come soon enough.

I, too, know essentially nothing about Hebrew punctuation, but this is gibberish. This is so nonsensical that it takes away whatever assumption of good faith I might have otherwise had for the author's other points. Yeesh.

Based on the author's logic you might as well say that punctuation in Prussian German led to war and genocide while punctuation in Swiss German led to neutrality and expertise in watch-making.

The things I don't know about Hebrew punctuation could fill, well, a lot of books. But even then, I know that this is an absolutely insane, antisemitic, and conspiratorial assertion that should have caused her book to be immediately and unceremoniously dropped in the reject pile.

TIL that 7.5 oz of overnight oats can cost $7. Or, if you make them yourself, the cost of 2/3 cup oatmeal, 2/3 cup milk, a little sugar, a spoonful or two of yogurt, and whatever fruit/peanut butter/chocolate chips you want to put in them. It takes literally 2 minutes to assemble.

Amazing work by @propublica.org and partners illustrating the lack of regulations around microschools in some states. www.propublica.org/article/prop...

In Arkansas, all it took was a few clicks on the Arkansas secretary of state website, $45 and an American flag to form a bona fide private school with the Arkansas Times.
We established a school with Mountain State Spotlight in West Virginia after filing our new school's name and location with authorities on a piece of notebook paper, then exchanging a few emails.
And with The Assembly in North Carolina, we filed an online notice of intent to open a private school at Ponysaurus Brewing Co. in Durham, while perched on its metal bar stools, eyeing glasses of a crisp kolsch.

I think this is sorta wrong. genocide is notoriously difficult to prosecute in intl tribunals. whether the prosecutors believe it’s genocide and whether they believe they can get convictions are different things.

There are many, many things wrong with how due process is defined in the immigration context. The Court has signed off on terrible stuff. It has not signed off on the mandatory detention of millions of people based on a statute that wasn’t read that way until last year.
