    Business, Economics, and Taxes 2: That's Why We Fight to Take the Means Back

    Just and reasonable rates has been the standard for utility regulation since public utilities became regulated (technically, it's "safe and adequate service at just and reasonable rates"). That isn't some new design or framework that's meant to insulate data centers at the expense of residential...

    Business, Economics, and Taxes 2: That's Why We Fight to Take the Means Back

    Cable Companies/ISPs are weird. Went to pay my monthly internet bill, and decided to just check on adding/upgrading service since they just merged with T-Mobile. Turns out I've been paying $10/month more for 500 megabit service than if I upgraded to gigabit service. So I did that. And after...

    Dump Term 2 Part 3: "But I Say Unto You, Hate Thy Enemies." -- Revulsions 5:44

    I knew that guy back at Dartmouth he was a couple of years younger than me. I would not have expected him to go full MAGA at the time (I considered him a country club Republican at the time), but this latest move is not surprising given what he did in the first Trump term.

    Business, Economics, and Taxes 2: That's Why We Fight to Take the Means Back

    Just saying, is anyone really surprised when any social media platform gets enshittified? Bluesky may be better than Twitter, but it still needs to pay its bills which means driving engagement which means hitting the outrage button early and often.

    Business, Economics, and Taxes 2: That's Why We Fight to Take the Means Back

    So this is my area of practice, and obviously I'm coming from the legal side but I know enough of the business side to be dangerous. If the build out is done correctly, residential customers shouldn't be hurt. They could even benefit since the data centers will cover proportionally more of...

    The States 2: States Rights for Me But Not for Thee

    I mean, they already do in most states. Most state bars, including admissions and disciplinary boards, are technically run by the state's judicial branch. The bigger deal is that not requiring ABA accreditation means you're going to get shitty unaccredited law schools showing up, ala California.

    Dump Term 2 Part 3: "But I Say Unto You, Hate Thy Enemies." -- Revulsions 5:44

    The GOP always has the option of nuking the filibuster to pass it with their simple majorities. The fact that they haven't means they don't think the shutdown will blow back on them.

    Religion: Communion Toast Crunch

    Looks like yet another Pope disagrees with joecct that you can support the death penalty and still be pro-life. “Someone who says I’m against abortion but is in favor of the death penalty is not really pro-life,” the pope explained...

    The States 2: States Rights for Me But Not for Thee

    Granted, I never worked with the BOEE, so it's possible their structure is more set up to issue orders like this on an expedited basis. But the licensing boards I used to work with would take at least a month to issue even an emergency order at their next scheduled meeting, and regular...

    Dump Term 2 Part 3: "But I Say Unto You, Hate Thy Enemies." -- Revulsions 5:44

    Here's how bad local media has gotten. Despite being a national story, the Des Moines Register has wiped all stories about the superintendent off its front page. No followup stories since 8:00 last night.

    Dump Term 2 Part 3: "But I Say Unto You, Hate Thy Enemies." -- Revulsions 5:44

    Allegedly it was a traffic stop, which ICE doesn't have authority to do. They've trumped up allegations that he's in the country illegally (his family moved here from Guyana when he was a kid, beyond that no clue if they filed paperwork correctly, but since he's had to clear several FBI...

    MLB 2025: The Dodgers vs The Field

    Not that it matters since they weren't catching Milwaukee anyway, but Matt Shaw took bereavement leave from the Cubs, in the middle of the stretch run, to go to the circus in Arizona on Sunday. Bet that's going over well with his Hispanic teammates...

    The States : red states in a race to the bottom

    Iowa Dems said, "Hold my beer." Basically jumpstarted Obama in 2008, voted for him twice, and now is on the verge of going full Kansas. (2026 is looking at least a little better with decent candidates for the top of the ticket (Senate and Gov.) for the first time in memory, though in...

    Dump Term 2, Part 2: "A third term would be a big shattering."

    You can start the process and engage an attorney while still going along with that. You don't have to tell them you've lawyered up. And Hovey, just because the statute requires the truthful reason doesn't mean he'll get it, or that he can prove an untrue reason is actually a lie. There are...

    Dump Term 2, Part 2: "A third term would be a big shattering."

    If you're employed by a public school, you may still have a 1st amendment argument. Honestly, if something happens, reach out to a local attorney or even FIRE - as much as they normally side against teachers, they will go to bat for anyone whom the government takes action against for...

    Fark is on fire today. Headlines for the numerous threads: Charlie Kirk becomes the sacrifice he was willing for others to make. Charlie Kirk 2023: Gun deaths "unfortunately" are worth it. An incredible shrinking face is an oddity to be remarked upon; not an invitation to practice target...
