"ChatGPT, give me a read of Frith II that supports my patently unique interpretation of discrimination law."
D.M. Schmeyer (@dmschmeyer.bsky.social)
I know this is what reading dismissals is usually like, but holy crap, that discrimination argument must've been dumb, becomes the Benny Hill music played in my head reading about it.

I don't think theyre going to get the immunity they seek. Not entirely. They'll get something, though.
D.M. Schmeyer (@dmschmeyer.bsky.social)
I genuinely don't think anything else was coming, given recent exposure risks. They're gonna try to get their immunity in the legislature. Until then, you're gonna see a lot more all in posture on oversight and mitigation.
D.M. Schmeyer (@dmschmeyer.bsky.social) reply parent
They dont think they're going to lose their immunity fights in the legislatures, for one. I dont think thats an assessment without basis, unfortunately.

I dont think many modern folks can comprehend "a quarter of the people you grew up and went to school with all die young in a collective mass trauma event". Imagine a school shooting, worse than Columbine by several orders of magnitude, happening in every school in the country over 4 yrs. Scary.

Not to mention the devastating and far reaching impacts of losing what amounts to a generation of your youth in or near their primes. WW2 was a hangover from WWI, objectively. We're arguably still not through what they did to us.

In warfare prior to 1914, folks, if you marched off under your flag, you *probably* came home, and if you didn't, disease is more likely to have done you in than the enemy. If you fought at Verdun and came home, your prize was the knowledge you were the only one of your friends who did so.

WWI was the first war in recorded history to have such voluminous primary sourcing from soldiers in the literal and metaphorical trenches. Never before had more literate armies gone to war. Never before had larger armies gone to war.

One of the worst things about the modern internet is you can pull up and app and just see a guy get murdered in the first video that loads when you do. No warning. Nothing. Now I just have to deal with that, I guess.

The right doesn't have a messaging problem. I know that hurts because of how awful that message often is, but we need to live in the world as it is, and on this planet, their base and a good chunk of independent and low-information voters are just fine with what they put out there, actually.

Like y'all, seriously, losers get dissected and winners get affirmed. Our media does that in sports, they do that in politics, they do it in entertainment. This is not remotely controversial. Doesn't mean the people who are winning are moral, ethical, or even worthy.
D.M. Schmeyer (@dmschmeyer.bsky.social)
They're not making lists of things Republicans need to stop saying because GOP messaging is working. They're winning. Losers need to adjust things to stop losing as much and start winning more. Hence conversations about what they need to do different.

You know, must lawyers understand why a lot of society gives us side eye. Prosecutors and political legal types struggle making the same realization in the legal community and I find that tone deafness ever telling.

Wouldn't vote for him in a primary. Would vote for him if he won the primary. Absolute zero need to contemplate the latter this early, and all criticism of him at this point is fair game. He's gonna run, and he's gonna run on a very mixed record. Up to him to earn it.

I got the idea from a video I cant find but I'll post if I do. The key is to get the new broth nice and combined and actually a broth. A lot of people cook their noodles in an "eyeballed" water amount, which is cool. Just make sure there's enough for soup.

If you want a more traditional Tokyo flavor, substitute the broth for your pasta water, another yolk, spoonfuls of minced garlic, a little ginger and some chili oil or chili crunch. I probably do it that way more, tbh, its just a mood thing, rich vs a sort of creamy.

Stochastic terrorism does tremendous damage, to our civil fabric and to our democracy, and while the law has been somewhat to slow to catch up expressly, the common law of torts is replete with theory rendering it all sorts of actionable. We did good work here.

Boil your noodles in a pot. In a sauce pan, do an egg yolk, the seasoning, the pepper paste, a little mayo, a little half and half, and a half cup of chicken bone broth. Combine with a hard-boiled egg and some fried pork belly, and some green onion. If you want to elevate it a bit.
