I mean it *is* the same standard for both under FOIA (Exemption 7(c))- but does FOIA apply here?

I really do like these kinds of analysis since I first heard a theory that Franco-Flemish composition became sucessful European music for a period because of an economic boom in the local economies.

You misspelled “held accountable”; it is spelled “impeached”

A lot of small self publishing authors use KU; I’m frustrated that for one author that I know, this nixed purchases from competing e-book sellers, or even direct e-books sales from the author.

Nah. The Court is unlikely to describe review as Exceedingly Limited; it already had different deferential standards, and if the Court is reviewing it at all, then it’s the level of review necessary. Limited review would just be “limited to the Constitution” or similar.

Why don’t they just bring back the death panel concept? It’s exactly the same thing, right? Only NOW there’s no people. Or doctors. Or accountability. And, this one actually behaves like everyone was afraid the panel would. Welcome to the AI revolution.

I’ll add that American potters should, by now, have stopped calling this “Raku” - the worst sort of cross-use of Japanese language. I don’t know if it’s in Sodner’s post, but the Raku family has objected in the past.

Oh, that’s right entirely. Calling it raku was a complete mistake.
November 14, 2025 at 10:04 PM
It’s been my understanding that the character Raku alone had the meaning of something like pleasurable ease, which was more important. The place and the pottery were named for that quality, not that the pottery was named after the place, even if that was the place he made the pots.

Leach was not describing hikidashi - or at least the high temp version used to create black pieces. He was describing an earthenware temperature firing that fixed the drawings he painted on the pots. Have you read his book?
November 14, 2025 at 9:30 PM
His mistake was to think that Raku wasn’t a person’s title, which it is. It was never a place name as far as I’ve read. It’s like calling your pots Wedgewood when the are made from a colorful clay with white bas-relief decorations.

Not exactly nonsense. Sen Rikyû commissioned teabowls from what would become the founder of the Raku potters, Chôjirô. A couple hundred years later, Bernard Leach wrote about pots decorated and fired in the same
day, which were pulled out of the kiln hot (a Raku technique).

I am so glad I no longer live in Ohio. My last year there it started snowing in October, and it didn’t quit till June. Snow on my car in the morning *every day.* Snow overnight, then a warm morning to melt it, then snow in the afternoon, or snow all day. It’s never too soon for snow in OH.

I happened to be at the Court on the day that he appeared for a hearing. He really did appear very well dressed. He wore a tailored suit that fit well, and it was cold so he wore a designer wool overcoat. He also got to cut the security line.
