Sadly, the Idaho legislature appears to disagree with you and is perfectly happy to see moronic parents killing their children by withholding lifesaving medical care. It's utterly obscene.

Fourteen years ago, HBO's 'The Newsroom' laid out the truth about voter ID in this segment. It’s striking how little the arguments — or the tactics — have changed. Still a solution in search of a problem. History doesn’t repeat itself — it gets rerun.

This is an unusually direct piece addressing the NY Times' constant both-sidesing of the parties/denigration of anyone progressive - all while allegedly being part of the much feared and denigrated liberal media (LOL); www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Why does the New York Times keep calling the left ‘divisive’?
The newspaper often uses the word to describe elections with progressive contenders, implying a previous whole destroyed by the left

Given all the publicity about lawyers getting sanctioned for using AI and as a result citing fake case law/authorities, one would think that lawyers would stop using AI - or, at least, stop using it without checking/double-checking AI's work. But one would be wrong. www.latimes.com/california/s...
