It’s always been remarkable how much editorial independence student editors of law reviews have. Now we see universities betraying their free speech principles because power trumps ethics every time if it thinks it can get away with it.

Good point. As I understand it, the Cybertruck’s stock tires are not, in fact, a good tire choice.

Who else watched this and thought of the jailbreak scene at the beginning of The Goonies?

How much of the increased price of fast food is because restaurants have to pay workers more than $7.25/hour now? It seems like the entire business model of cheap fast food was premised on low-quality food and labor costs so low that most fast-food workers qualified for public assistance. Leaving aside the low-quality oligarchical food product industry and just looking at the labor side, it’s still a failure. And a business model that relies on food stamps and welfare for its employees really isn’t a business model.

Yes please!

Housing was out of reach for many Americans before interest rates went up. I don’t think allowing an escape to mortgage rate lock-in is a bad idea, but state and municipal funding and financing and zoning reform would make more of a difference in the housing market.

Amazon Music

I invested heavily in the Amazon Music ecosystem, I bought hundreds of albums on there, and the platform is now very nearly unusuable. I cannot even listen to the songs that I paid for without also having to listen to ads. And the Android app now hides the downloads in some hidden folder so I can’t even download them and listen to them on another player. It makes me furious.

I’ve actually gone back to CDs, if you can believe it. It’s kind of nice sometimes, especially for full album plays, but I do miss a nice big playlist of my favorite songs from all artists.

Mint

I definitely found Linux Mint the easiest version to switch to, coming from Windows. All the menus and icons were basically where I expected to find them. I couldn’t have cared less about Wayland support, I just wanted to do basic tasks and for my printer to work, and Mint did that out of the box.

I like it fine, and I bet you could incorporate those design elements into a lot of cool merch, which is a nice rule-of-thumb for useful flags.

With a few exceptions and hold-outs still on YouTube only, I have found this to be generally true too.

If true, this is the most stereotypical Chinese company move ever.

Agree with this, a headphone jack is occasionally very useful, especially when traveling. I had a Google Pixel without a headphone jack and I was surprised how much I missed it, I got an adapter just to restore that functionality.

Congrats to every news outlet that covered this ambush hearing breathlessly, you’ve done exactly what House Republicans wanted you to do. The thin façade of pearl-clutching over anti-semitism, from a caucus that courts neo-Nazis, was utterly transparent. But they wanted to attack elite universities, and every news outlet gave them a megaphone and context-free coverage.

Journalists still haven’t learned how to cover an extremist party that has no policy agenda and is only interested in culture wars and scoring political points.

Even where US military aid is brand-new material, the American military contractors are the ones profiting from it, spurring the American economy. It’s almost more an economic shot in the arm than it is international aid.

La Zona en Reclamación ain’t gonna save him, Maduro and his regime are already doomed. The question has been, how many people will he make suffer to cover up the failed policies of Chavismo?
