"Law" is a term identifying (in the very vaguest way) a giant set of both rhetorical and physical practices. It includes a huge body of discourse. That body is both overdetermined and underdetermined; both overly complete and incomplete. And that body is neither fully internally consistent nor >
Actually, I think that's probably as bad, if not worse.
Code is intended to be executed, and to do things. Law is intended to guide relationships, and steer behaviors.

The fun thing about the "masculinity crisis" is that masculinity has literally always been in crisis, for as long as we've been writing about it, and also that isn't even the problem:
![“Sixty years ago some of these [men] would have been fathers. Small-business owners. Dependable men in hats riding slow commuter trains, their mindscapes perfumed with thoughts of stocks, bonds, lawn care,” writes Daniel Kolitz, in his own viral essay on gooners—who are (yes) a quasi-religious subculture of mostly straight young guys who aim to achieve transcendence through continual masturbation.
But 60 years ago—in 1965—experts were also worried about the dudes; in point of fact, that was the year George M. Frederickson published the first-ever paper about the “crisis in masculinity.” Masculinity was in crisis in 1965 (because men had “feminizing” office jobs instead of doing manual labour) and masculinity was in crisis in 1985 (because women had started working in the offices) and masculinity was in crisis in 1995 (because there weren’t enough drum circles, cf. Iron John). Masculinity has been in crisis for so long, and for so many reasons, that it almost makes one question whether there was ever an unchallenged or universal “masculinity” in the first place.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:bxyrx3gczu2brhp7q5y7gtio/bafkreig7fkf2s4gxiqzhbtdv2m5qv4jqpx7sgyi6xukalnnwmje6ewwc7m@jpeg)

(A Cook R+10 number means that if the GOP is at 50 nationally you’d expect an R in the district to get 60%, which if there are no third party votes is 60-40, or R+20 two way margin. People get tripped up on this constantly for obvious reasons.)

Let me give some insight on this, as a producer in the dub industry who worked with major streamers, who's witnessed first-hand where this push for AI is coming from.
tl;dr: Only CEOs want this. Tell them how much you hate it. Be loud, email, call, @, post. You will kill this.

The only thing less human than these AI dub performances is the decision to sign off on them
A company this big can pay human actors a decent wage, not produce slop that intentionally removes the human element.

BREAKING: Judge R. Brooke Jackson in Colorado has ordered the government to follow the law when performing warrantless immigration arrests. In addition to finding the government is engaging in violations, he has imposed documentation requirements to ensure compliance. Story to come.

Not only does this quote not exist, the citation has it on page 34 of a case that starts on page 1. Problem is, the majority opinion is only 30 pages.
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...

1. A landmark study was just published in The Journal of Pediatrics.
It found a 68% reduction in suicidality for trans youth getting HRT.
It also found only 7 of more than 400 stopped taking HRT... and of those that did, 4 still identified as gender-diverse.
