A murderer is a murderer. If the problem is that the state is sponsoring and defending a murderer and saying so aloud causes the state to sponsor and defend more murders, the source of this problem becomes utterly apparent.
Homan: "We gotta stop the hateful rhetoric. Saying this officer is a murderer is dangerous. It's just ridiculous. It's gonna infuriate people more which means there's gonna be more incidents like this."

Okay, might as well get this started.
It's January 1, which means, as I'm sure you all know, that there's a whole new bunch of characters who have entered the public domain. This time around, it's characters created in 1930.
The following is a list of pulp & pulpy characters now in the p.d.

Were 90s kids clamoring for a Batman cartoon with 1930s Art Deco aesthetics? Is that what the market demanded? Or did some really smart creative people have a vision and make a genre-defining hit that sustained 20 years of TV shows? If you want success look for vision, not just metrics.

I know I prolly need to reschedule rheumatologist and take the cancel fee next time. But I *really* NEED to make it to CT scan and neurologist today. If I get enough shares to get 25 from 3 people, that will get it done. Please. 🙏💖
175 short for medical appointments. 75 would at least get my scan and neurologist done. TYSM for any tips or boosts!

I chaired an IRB for years, and ran a gigantic human research protections program even longer. The unethical nature of this proposed research is clear. It would not pass muster when examined under the Common Rule, Subpart D, or FDA regulations. Safety and efficacy have been established. Unethical.

Worse than Tuskegee because at least at the start of that trial there wasn't already an effective therapy. Hit's all the other marks though - single blind, on a vulnerable population, white investigators, black patients etc. Just a big ol racist boondoggle.

This is just Tuskegee levels of malfeasance. Like the example you would put on a public health ethics 101 training and then scrap it because it's too obvious.

This is the sort of contract that if you were entertaining signing it, your friends should smash through a window, do roll on the floor, leap up in a feral pounce and slap it out of your hands
Behold, if you will, the...astonishing...contract from Shadow Light Press. A rolling 10-year term...payment on profit (but only after costs are recouped)...appropriation of the author's universe if they can't continue the series...and more www.reddit.com/r/Progressio...

These stories have existed for the entire history of comics. Creators deserve a stake in characters they create (yes even legacy characters).
Also design work in comics is very often treated as an 'invisible' part of the page rate. That's $0 earned to create a new character from scratch -

I keep thinking about LSAC data saying students with accommodations get higher scores.
The most obvious possibility to me is not "some students unfairly get accommodations"; it is, "people with wealth are more likely to get accommodations."

My other other conclusion is that "outfit recycling" should be the highest badge of honor in fashion and so we should STOP complimenting people for new clothes and START complimenting people who wear the same thing again.

We can eliminate the private insurance industry, and save $650B per year with Medicare for All — which would cover everyone, save families money, and include dental, vision, hearing, prescriptions and longterm care.
