there's a lot more backstory, but that'd be way too much to type!

Also, the intercept law wasn't really created with Harvey in mind. It was created as part of other changes to the pension law, including changing the funding target (reduced from 100% to 90%) and target year. Idea was that in exchange for those changes there'd be enforcement munis payments

yes, Harvey was! Shameless plug for some stuff I've written on this:

It’s also being integrated into software and apps with an opt-out model rather than opt-in. We’re getting fed AI generated content without knowing it too

you're gonna have to make a tik tok about your tik tok research

Hopefully you’ll be at UAA in the spring! It’s in Chicago so very easy trip for you

no driving for me! Flagstaff may not be the easiest place to get to, but I’m really excited to go there!
September 2, 2025 at 1:13 PM
and just discovered how not easy it is to get from Flagstaff back to New Haven

Oh my goodness, YES!

I'm so sorry and hate that you've also dealt with this. There has to be a better way. The one office I've dealt with that's been kind and helpful is the medical examiner

exactly what I'm going through right now. Got some additional challenges to everything, but will spare the details. This is just a cruel system

it's just like having the worst, unpaid part-time job one can imagine
August 19, 2025 at 4:57 PM
I hadn't said anything publicly. It is the worst part-time job one could ever have. I don't even have words other than it is awful and nothing is easy
