Not a real doctor; real worm. I've done radio for kids for a weirdly long time. Not your lawyer, but maybe your amusement park law prof. SpareTheRock.com. Wrote a book: RecreationAndRisk.com (Carolina Academic Press). He/him; my views only here.

Sixteen years ago today I had sixteen Google Wave invitations.

This worked like a damn charm.
I usually start a fire in the underside and wait. :/
I should probably get on that now.

People will die, and are currently dying, because RFK was granted one of the most powerful megaphones in the country. Two people who could have thrown barriers in front of his climb decided not to; there's a sex scandal here but it is not the biggest scandal.

Maybe Harvey will end up being great, but this “study” does not establish that it is. It could just as well be called “We asked some people who are paying for Harvey if they think they made a mistake in doing so”

From the MN Society for Professional Journalists: St. Paul police shot three photojournalists (MPR, Reuters, Sahan Journal) with "less lethal" munitions during an ICE operation yesterday. One had to go to the hospital. They say they were specifically targeted by St. Paul police.

If it snows during week that also contains a holiday, work is cancelled

I definitely understand why one would use AI to show what Minneapolis looks like with snow; a TV station founded so recently (1946) certainly doesn’t have any archival footage showing that incredibly rare occurrence
KSTP meteorologist posting AI videos on Twitter of what he says is what Minneapolis will look like if his forecast is correct is really something… not a valid weather news source going forward imo

Question about the dissent by (the far-right) Justice Ziegler: Does this quote actually appear in Moore v. Harper? Did Moore say that state courts' role in congressional redistricting is "exceedingly limited"? I don't think it did! vhdshf2oms2wcnsvk7sdv3so.blob.core.windows.net/thearp-media...
