"That is, in fact, not what happened to Ophelia."

A personal gripe I have is that the first song on the album (which seems like it's meant to be the lead single), "The Fate of Ophelia," does not seem to have any understanding of Hamlet. Swift admitted in a BBC radio interview with Greg James that she "didn't really need to reread [Hamlet]. I wanted to sprinkle some references in the bridge, so like the the bridge references kind of some paraphrasing of some lines from Hamlet, so I did like do a little brushup. But I just love the idea that like, You saved me from love driving me mad, right?
'Cause that's what happened to Ophelia. Spoiler alert."

Can we stop calling an artificial representation of a person by a human-coded name? "She" does not exist. "She" is a reflection of someone's ingenue dreams, but "she" is pixels and code.

Judge Young—who has been on the bench for as long as I have been alive—calls it the most important case he has ever considered.

This case -– perhaps the most important ever to fall within
the jurisdiction of this district court –- squarely presents the
issue whether non-citizens lawfully present here in United
States actually have the same free speech rights as the rest of
us. The Court answers this Constitutional question
unequivocally “yes, they do.” “No law” means “no law.”

I’m old enough to remember when corporations fought tooth and nail all the way to the Supreme Court to make sure the government couldn’t take their money or control how they run their businesses.

There’s no corollary prohibition in the Bluepages though. Am I missing something? Page 7: “if an authority is organized by section or paragraph, you may cite to these subdivisions.” Does that mean they don’t purport to forbid et seq as a practice in practice?

I had forgotten about that essay but agree with its characterization of “shockingly arbitrary“ revisions

Is there any other example in the Bluebook where they explicitly call out an arguably common practice and say do not use x but rather use y? Huge risk in any argument that to explicitly negate an idea is to reinforce it

Getting ready for in-depth Bluebook 22d ed class tomorrow. I knew that (citation modified) made the cut over (cleaned up). But didn’t realize till now the Bluepages affirmatively say do NOT use (cleaned up) and such parentheticals “lack[s] a definite meaning in practice.”
