Kids as young as 3 and 4 years old are being hauled into immigration court in Seattle and read their rights.
They’re being told they have the right to an attorney despite having no capacity to hire one or understand what that means.
As Rep Jayapal says, that’s not due process… it’s a farce.

I'm sure Trump will add that those with "superior genes" as he has as a member of the Master Race, would also get lower rates.
Markwayne Mullin on healthcare: "What the president would like to do is say, hey, if you take care of yourself -- you don't smoke, you don't dip, you're not drinking, you're not overweight, you're working out -- then you should pay less than the guy that obviously is not taking care of himself."

AI summaries get this kind of thing wrong all the time; Judge Luttig is talking about how the Supreme Court should have an “exceedingly limited” role in its review, and defer to state courts.
This dissent flips that completely! Probably because an AI summary pulled the Luttig article about Moore

Books aren't expensive.
Writers are at the bottom of a large column of people making money off books.
We get screwed the most.
By the publishing industry and the fucking pirates.
You like books? Buy them, or go to the library.
Or there won't be any writers to make the art.

I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.
I see some book piracy discourse, and, to make a positive argument in favor of buying books, your marginal ability to influence what books get published and support the careers of writers you like is massive compared to most other forms of media.

Chevrolet had such a promotional success giving away Corvettes to NASA astronauts that they tried to give one to Yuri Gagarin and the State Department wouldn't let them, so the ephemeral French sportscar maker Matra gave him a now-almost-forgotten Matra Djet and it was all aesthetically pleasing.

When I did my deal in 2015 "AI" wasn't really on the horizon, although of course there were already editing/translation tools. For my 2024 extension I had "humans only" language added and it's understood to be retroactive on the earlier contract, plus it's in all my foreign language contracts now.
Was AI junk common back when you did your big deal a while back, or did you have that added in later?
