I feel like if you were a kid in the 80s seeing Episodes 4-6 in the theatres then stuff we learned about Atilla the Hun was vague enough to be confusing.

I do this! Is it a common issue, or something tied to GenX?

I would hazard a guess that Mr. Hoekstra isn’t cut out for diplomacy. Perhaps he’d prefer to find a different occupation. Outside of Canada.

It is frustrating on many levels how frequently I find myself repeating versions of this in all facets of my life.

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

Let’s be clear. If a completely immature & unhinged maniac is allowed to do this kind of thing out of toddler-level spite when President’s DON’T EVEN HAVE THE POWER TO UNILATERALLY LEVY TARIFFS, then there simply IS NO LEGITIMATE TRADE RELATIONSHIP between the United States & Canada or any country.

Aboriginal Law practitioners/scholars: any good commentary and/or summaries of the Cowichan Tribes decision out there? Prepping to teach it soon and man, even this law nerd thinks that it’s a loooooong decision

This skeet is very confusing. Why is "supreme court" not capitalized (I assume you're referring to the Supreme Court of Canada)? Where in the linked article does it refer to the Minister wanting the SCC to "artificially create limits" (I searched the article and couldn't find any reference to that)?

My mother was called to the bar in Queensland when I was in high school and I remember she had to borrow a wig! She then worked entirely as a solicitor and never donned one again. Fair enough, in Qld.

I do not share @dieworkwear.bsky.social ‘s fine detail pedantry about men’s suiting, but this I have an opinion on:

The robes with fur stoles, without wigs, are like a suit with sneakers. Terrible clash of register.
