Several caved, several fought back and won

I was going to say that, but it seems there's a sex scene?

They really *are* getting younger: 18-year-old Nathan Thomas is now "pursuing a juris doctor degree at the University of Miami School of Law" He's also teaching engineering in his spare time. www.tuko.co.ke/people/63433... @miamilawschool.bsky.social

Progressive social media really should be going harder on highlighting Hope Florida scandal- * Helps to take out vulnerable GOP Senator up for reelection * Exposes hypocrisy of GOP "blue state fraud" meme * Hurts Ron DeSantis image * Emphasizes systematic GOP political attacks on Medicaid

I don't have a strong sense of lawyer-trustees but lawyers as a class have been mostly quite strong standing up to Trump, whether in government, non-Supreme courts, or in lawsuits against the government. I don't at all get the same sense about business, with so many angling for spots at the trough.

Oh all right.

The public thinks a third of the population is Jewish (how on earth?), and that a third are atheists, and that 70% are Christians? How does that add up?

I kinda sorta wonder if this AI trap is fully ethical, although I sure can see why it would be tempting. Then again, what if students start highlighting exam questions to reveal hidden text: it now part of the exam? Or use reader software as an accommodation? www.techspot.com/news/113243-...

My letter to Yale President McInnis about Yale reportedly in talks to 'bend the knee'. Text in the Alt.

Yup. I like to remove the middleman, but that usually takes me back to ActBlue....

Four very similar texts in 24 hours claiming to be from Troy Jackson & asking for money. All from different phone numbers, so saying 'stop' to one doesn't stop the others. I don't usually block Dems as spam, even when they are randos far away I wouldn't give to, but I'm going to make an exception.

Interesting example of power of banking regs on international affairs. Banks want govt to protect them from money laundering & assisting terrorism claims. Israeli right wants to strangle Gaza. Israeli Banks Threaten to Cut Off Palestinian Economy, Deepening Crisis www.nytimes.com/2026/07/22/w...

COVID not at a high level nationally but rate is increasing. (Rt over 1 in lots of places.) But of course we don't have data for Florida which operates on the "if we're not tracking it, people can't make us do anything about if" principe. www.cdc.gov/cfa-modeling...

Ok this is a little bit concerning....

By popular demand (yes, really) I've posted this year's recommendations for the Miami-Dade judicial elections on my blog. www.discourse.net/2026/07/2026...
