legal secretary vs document processor when the attorney is appalled that a complex document conversion (including TOC) will take five days and an lpa turns it around in 10 minutes.

A screen capture of a conversation that starts with LPAs, which stands for legal practice assistant: bane of any well trained DP‘s existence. DP stands for document processor. Next is an animated GIF where the guy is saying “we’re not doing no shortcuts” with a 😆 attached to it. the next conversation item says “LPA says hey it looks great. Attorney says hey it looks great. Attorney adds a paragraph and suddenly everything goes wonky. DP says I told you.” the next conversation piece is an animated GIF of Kermit the frog drawing a square with the label “what the LPA sees.” the next conversation item is an animated GIF of an office on fire with a whole bunch of people running around in complete chaos, and is labeled as “what the DP sees.”

or if somebody scans your book, paraphrases stuff (including quotes 🙄), binds it, and sells it, Amazon will do nothing. if people who buy the fake try to review re plagiarism, they’ll block it for violating policies. i tried to review a fake w/o buying and couldn’t but couldn’t even after buying!
cover of The Battle of Valcour Island by Stephen Darley on the left; fake on the right p. 40-41 in the original showing near perfectly set type and a legibility illustration; fake as no page numbers, badly formatted text, and a smaller, blurry illustration p. 64-65 in original: a legible and clear chart of American Vessels in Battle of Valcour Island; only first page of chart in the fake is shown and it is smaller and blurry p. 144 in original with the tail end of a letter from Benedict Arnold with text “P.S. I had not moved on board the Congress when the enemy appeared, and lost all my papers and most of my clothes on board the schooner. I wish a dozen bateaux, well manned, could be sent immediately to tow up the vessels in case of a southerly wind. I cannot, in justice to the officers of the fleet, omit mentioning their spirited conduct during the action.” It goes on with a new subheading Two Letters from General David Waterbury with plain text following . The fake has the tail end of the letter with text “P.S. P.S. I wish that a dozen well-manned boats could be dispatched immediately to tow the vessels in the event of a southerly breeze. In justice to the officers in the fleet, I can’t omit to mention their bravery during the action.” It continues with the same subheading, but all of the text that follows is underlined.

Next postcard. thanks to either @takeaction-swva.org or @washcovadems.bsky.social for providing a stack of them! Anyone can print for free at signsofjustice.com. (The pic cut off the bottom of the front which says “These are not extreme ideas. These are our #CommonGround.)
postcard to the trumpbot Morgan Griffith: When [underlined] are you going to do your duty to the Constitution and protect it from those who domestically are trying to void it? Hold Trump accountable to his oath to The Constitution! at the bottom is the top half of the front side of the same style of postcard (hiding my return address for a response), which says “the majority of Americans support: universal background checks (86% fn1), trans rights protections (74% fn2), safe and legal abortion (70% fn3), paths to citizenship (70% fn4)“. each statistic has a very small footnote source, which is difficult to read. 1 McCourtney Institute for Democracy May 2023, 2 Data for Progress Oct 2024, 3 AP NORC (?)

the internet is boring with javascript turned off
a blank map of wisconsin. i assume if javascript was turned on, it would show the race results by voting jurisdiction or county it does say though that 97.8% of the votes have been counted and provide each candidate’s percentage (crawford 55.1/schimel 44.9)

Correct me if I’m wrong, but does this switch the primary use of all federal land (with known mineral deposits) to mining extraction? (Sec5)

A quote by Joseph Campbell, split into two clauses with “Find a place inside where there’s joy…” at the top left; in the middle is a maelstrom of scribbled circles, like a pancaked whirlwind, and at the bottom right the quote finishes “(…and the joy will burn out the pain.) —Joseph Campbell” Pencil on cheap art paper (11x14; lots of blank space)

Does the government not know about you personally and individually? THAT’S BECAUSE YOU’RE A #TERRORIST!
Talking about the named plaintiffs having no criminal records in the United States or Venezuela. “Remarkably, the government’s declaration states that ‘the lack of specific information about each individual actually highlights the risk they pose’ because that ‘demonstrates that they are terrorists with regard to whom we lack a complete profile’. Id.” [Id. = ECF 26-1, First Cerna Decl. para. 9]

Screenshot from page 6 of the pdf of the pleading (link in the quoted post). The five plaintiffs, after being pulled off the plane, “sat in the tarmac in the heat, without being provided any water, to the point that one man’s nose began to bleed, and officers told him to stop being dramatic.” [citations to declarations]

Under the Overpass by Mike Yankoski: A Journey of Faith on the Streets of America
Cover of the book Under the Overpass: a journey of faith on the streets of America by Mike Yankoski. Updated and expanded edition. The cover artwork is a monotone sienna or black and white photo of a man with longish hair in sandals sitting on a sleeping bag, playing a guitar; and it looks like he might be singing. there’s a very rough-looking partially closed suitcase in the foreground.

No Matter How Loud I Shout by Edward Humes
Screenshot of book cover for “No Matter How Loud I Shout: a year in the life of juvenile court” by Edward Humes winner of the Pulitzer Prize. In a red circle is the note: “updated with the new foreward and afterward”. There is also a quote from a review by the Washington post, which says “Passionate…a sad, maddening, brilliant book.” The black and white design is a youth’s face/top of shoulders facing the camera and against a brick wall, with a shadow encroaching on the left side of his face as he’s looking at the camera. Most of the left side of his face is in shadow. The shadow bleeds off the left side of the cover and expands across the top half where the title/author is. The title is in red block caps, the subtitle is in white small caps, and the author’s name is in yellow block caps.
