The Chase case is a terrible example for several reasons laid out here: https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/24396727-kermit-roosevelt-amicus?responsive=1&title=1

That's an amicus brief for this case, filed with the Supreme Court by the great-great-grandson of Teddy Roosevelt, a historian who spends a great deal of time explaining the full context of the fourteenth from actual historical record and case law, including (and excoriating) Chase.

A lawyer and commentator for Lawfare declared it the best of the briefs he's seen, and he cited other excellent ones as well that do not rely on Chase.

It's 54 pages, so not for the timid, but I found it a fascinating read and anyone wanting to know the actual history will as well.

This is amazing. Cryptography is truly the sorcery of our age.

A slap on the wrist just confirms FIFA's complicity.

This conveniently ignores that Trump's situation is predicated on actual behavior during an actual honest-to-goodness insurrection (yes, it has been adjudicated an insurrection many times at this point, see Jan 6 convictions). He publicly and directly addressed the terrorist group Proud Boys in televised remarks, the group at the heart of the insurrection, whose leaders are now jailed for it, calling them to attention to "stand by". No one doubts he failed his constitutional duty to protect the transfer of power. He disavows it to this day! When they invaded the capitol in an insurrection, that made it a lot harder for some other presidential candidate to come to the table with the same resume for being barred from the ballot. If I were any candidate in the future and the bar were this high, I'd rest easy every day of the week.

GTFO with this slippery slope bullshit.

I would suggest camping out on https://www.boardgamegeek.com/ and seeing whether anything tickles your fancy in the suitable genre and weight category. Advanced search, or the genre-specific rankings are very helpful.

Many folks make geeklists that address questions such as yours as well.

Elon announced he was changing Twitters name to better reflect the core values of the company. Twitter is now to become "X Æ A-1488".

If you have a Mastodon account as well, it has the bookmark feature, so in a pinch I can bookmark by boosting and then switching to my Masto account and bookmarking it there. You just need to follow your kbin account from your Masto account.

Not to mention they got caught rigging the primary debates in her favor. Fuck the Democratic Party for that bit of election fraud.

I'm of the opinion that any rapist should have that permanently affixed to their name whenever mentioned: "Rapist Donald Trump".

Any dictionary will help you with the difference between the two.

That's incorrect. AA is explicitly spiritual, not affiliated with any religion. Everyone gets to choose their own path, there is no endorsed religion.

Oh boy, here we go.

Rest assured, it'll be a slew of LLM output tweaked by unpaid interns this time. That's what this is about.

That really doesn't need to be known, we could tell just from average daily active user counts. If those weren't provided, that's a big red flag on the rest of their numbers because there's no reason not to include those numbers. Active users is the most accurate measure. They might reasonably choose to hype the signups number, but if everyone wants to know actives and it's not provided, that's Meta choosing to hide the information. Not a confident move.

To be fair, they've got the killed-or-injured-by-a-software-driven-vehicle market virtually cornered.

Back in my day, the big font change was ega to vga.

That Aawon Buww?

And if you believe that, you'll surely be interested in this fine nautical spanning structure in Brooklyn, very inexpensive I might add.

Did that author actually call BS part of the fediverse?
