I met Jason David Frank as a kid for a meet and greet for my birthday. He gave me a short martial arts lesson and we took lots of photos. Nicest guy who made time for a star struck kid meeting the Green Ranger.
Screw "never meeting your heroes." What were some times you met your heroes and they were super cool?

![MEMORANDUM OPINION
No American President has ever before issued executive orders like the one at issue in this lawsuit targeting a prominent law firm with adverse actions to be executed by all Executive branch agencies but, in purpose and effect, this action draws from a playbook as old as Shakespeare, who penned the phrase: The first thing we do, let's kill all the lawyers."" WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE, HENRY VI, PART 2, act 4, sc. 2, 1. 75. When Shakespeare's character, a rebel leader intent on becoming king, see id. 1. 74, hears this suggestion, he promptly incorporates this tactic as part of his plan to assume power, leading in the same scene to the rebel leader demanding ""[a]way with him," referring to an educated clerk, who ""can make obligations and write court hand," id, 1, 90, 106. Eliminating lawyers as the guardians of the rule of law removes a major impediment to the path to more power. See Walters v. Nat'1 Ass'n of Radiation Survivors, 473 U.S. 305, 371 n.24 (1985) (Stevens, J., dissenting) (explaining the import of the same Shakespearean statement to be "that disposing of lawyers is a step in the direction of a totalitarian form of government").
The importance of independent lawyers to ensuring the American judicial system's fair and impartial administration of justice has been recognized in this country since its founding era. In 1770, John Adams made the singularly unpopular decision to represent eight British soldiers charged with murder for their roles in the Boston Massacre](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:dozrbbuzuojdwr2psqkapfxo/bafkreibkdm2tqnxm62q3cgnjy6lfy2fgb6tdr3lzuinpowtx2mzq7n6oxm@jpeg)

The NATIONAL SECURITY ADVISER added the EDITOR OF THE ATLANTIC to a PRINCIPALS COMMITTEE TEXT CHAIN set up for the DEFENSE SECRETARY about PLANNED MILITARY STRIKES.

Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House.
We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication.
They own what happens next.

I had Covid last week. Had no idea until I went to urgent care, because “Covid’s over, duh,” I thought.
Turns out doctors are smarter than I am. Who would’ve thought?
This country’s fucking doomed.

Turns out running the federal government like a cutthroat tech company might not actually be effective.

Wow…I had to double, triple check to make sure this tweet from Senator Smith was real.
Rare to see a US Senator tweet like this.
Not complaining, just surprising.

For all those yahoos who lampoon the Covid vaccine… this is the first year I didn’t get my booster.
This is also the first year I contracted the virus.
Previously I’ve remained untouched, even in my own house when my wife caught it.
Sure seems like vaccines work to me.

AI runs counterintuitive to higher ed as a whole. Higher ed is a place where teachers encourage students to think critically and. They don’t care about a student being “right”, they want to see them grow intellectually. Having a tool that can think for you and answer for you is unbelievably harmful.
