He’ll win. Contract surely is w/ K-Center not DJT/K-Center? Ie should be void. There is stolen valor here too since it was named while still in process for Kennedy after he was assassinated. Stolen labor since vision was his and Eisenhower’s not some guy’s who slaps his name on stuff & calls it his
If I were a wealthy, commercially successful non-Trump Kennedy Center honoree, I would very publicly offer to pay 100% of Redd's legal fees, all the way up to the Supreme Court, as well as any fines imposed.
The Kennedy Center is planning legal action after jazz musician Chuck Redd canceled an annual holiday concert. Redd pulled out after President Trump's name appeared on the building. n.pr/49tB0uS

Not super relevant, just interesting (to me, anyway!): Gas turbines for electricity generation are similar machines to the jet engines that propel airplanes. Today's natural gas power plants have benefitted from decades of publicly funded research on jet engines.
So many comparisons between Britain's 1st industrial revolution and the growth of generative AI are facile. These examples are ripe for comparative analysis by historians who study and understand the IR. (Stand aside, History Reclaimed). A sharing link for 3 non-subscribers. @echistsoc.bsky.social
Data centres turn to aircraft engines to avoid grid connection delays
Supply chain shortages drive developers to use smaller and less efficient power sources to fuel AI power demand

I've driven an EV for almost 6 years in the mid Atlantic (PA/VA/NY areas). I've helped new EV owners while charging frequently. Sometimes it's not even EV drivers, but ICE drivers who are curious and ask questions. I like helping people so to me it's a treat and I get my good turn for the day done.

Why yes... yes, they did. Objectives are not attacking Christianity. Our rights to freedom of, and from, religion protects people of faith, all of us with a faith tradition, and those who are agnostic and atheist. Read the US Constitution. What then? Howsabout we petition SCOTUS to uphold the law.

Recently, my office got more than 50k back in restitution for employees at two companies guilty of wage theft.
The affordability crisis is enough of an obstacle to putting food on the table and paying bills – nobody should have to worry about their employer trying to scam them on top of it.

Just gonna say this again for games sphere cus we get the same question:
Networking doesn't mean schmoozing up to famous people, it means making friends with your peers. Then in 10 years, 20, one of you might be famous? And sure you're still helping each other cus well yeah friends.
Make. Friends.

Talking to one of these types at a con who asked how I 'got in' with so many 'famous writers' who I'd been talking to and I said "we made friends before anyone knew who we were decades ago by striking up interesting conversations and enjoying each other's company" and he kept re-asking the question.
