I agree with sentiment but want to flag They are not wearing masks. They are wearing hoods or gaiters. Non cops wear respirator masks to protect ourselves from viruses, smoke & privacy. We need precise language or else we'll end up with more mask bans (and mask bans already exist in some places)
Honestly I think if the Dems could somehow win a mask ban for federal agents, I think it would be a huge start. The impunity these dipshits feel being masked up is palpable.

Good point. Toon Town may have jurisdiction in this case.
I'm not very well versed in this, but as I understand it (and I may be wrong), but if someone dies with no will and no heir, the property goes up for auction.
My main source for this, though, is Who Framed Roger Rabbit, so again, I may be wrong...

In the last couple of years, we have published collections on Dracula, teaching in prisons, Margaret Atwood, social justice, Yuyachkani's human rights theater, and much more. What teaching volume might you put together?

The whole point of being an academic is that you need to be willing to spend three days creating a 700-word footnote that you will later delete. And you need to LIKE IT.

And by design LLMs destroy shared context
