“Sandwich guy case” “Harvard clawed frog embryo smuggling case” “Olympic canoeist reflecting pool vandalism case” “James Comey seashells Instagram post case” New rule: If the case sounds like a Mad Libs story, it’s probably about to implode.
during a video call with an obviously distracted coworker, she eventually said “i’m sorry, can you give me a minute? i have an orange cat.” and since i’ve had them for many years, i completely understood.

So there are five fires in and around Spokane. (One of the icons is sitting right above another, to the northwest.) This is awful and crazy.

Goddammit.
Chad LoderThe diarrhea lettuce company, Taylor Farms, uses slave labor contracted from the Arizona Dept. of Corrections. The backbreaking labor is often performed by imprisoned Mexican nationals who would be otherwise ineligble to work in the US. They are paid $1.50 an hour.

The top of the US govt abusing power with even trivial things *is* the story. Federal law enforcement warped around lies and assuaging one man’s hurt feelings. The cynical, above-it-all attitude of doesn’t matter, stop being hysterical, why not humor him for a bit is part of why we’re in this mess.
Ron FilipkowskiSo many sneering elitist journalists with snarky posts over the past months that the Reflecting Pool story was trivial. It was so trivial that the DC US Attny presented false evidence to a grand jury to indict an innocent man to please the President while they both lied about it.

Unlike Trump, Lady Justice doesn't lean on the Scales of Justice. Trump wants SCOTUS to toss out the $83.3M defamation verdict against him in the E. Jean Carroll case, but they've already declined to review a separate $5M verdict against him in the dispute. Maybe Lady Justice is still lurking!
An explosion at Moscow's luxury Balzi Rossi restaurant. Early reports say at least three people were killed and several others injured. Russian Telegram channels say the restaurant was closed to the public for the birthday of Russian general Aleksandr Chayko, commander of Russia's aerospace forces.
Minocqua Brewing Company the self‑described “most progressive brewery” in Wisconsin says the state is revoking its permit after its anti-trump post went viral. Owner Kirk Bangstad vows to fight the shutdown and is raising money for the company's legal defense.
I worry that most cynical among us, hopped up on 30 years of law and order rhetoric, will say "this is the system working: he didn't do anything wrong and now he's free." As if the terror and wide-scale publicity of an arrest and federal prosecution is not a horrible punishment in and of itself.
CNNThe Justice Department is admitting that a $14 million renovation on the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool in Washington, DC, was flawed, and is dropping the criminal case against a former Olympian that accused him of damaging the pool, according to a new court filing. https://cnn.it/3RJJnwj

I used to make choices based on what helps students learn. Now I make choices like I'm trying to identify replicants with the Voight-Kampff test
Bryan Edward Stone (שָׁלוֹם)I'm going back to in-class exams this semester, which are harder to schedule, less intellectually rigorous, slower to grade, harder to secure, more prone to error, harder to provide disability acommodations for, and use up a lot more paper than online exams. AI makes everything worse.
