I'm a retired attorney in the wilds of rural Northwest Indiana. I have hair of varying colors, and usually have crafts in my hand. Sometimes singing along in my head turns out to be out loud. Further affiant sayeth naught!
Because it indicates interest in a certain kind of epic science fiction or fantasy, would be my guess. It's a shortcut for where there might be mutual interest. They're geeks letting it be known that they'd like to meet other geeks.

Every time I think it can't get worse...it does. I have degrees in both history and law; you'd think I would know better.

Rushdie himself is not dangerous. It's he that would be endangered. He is a deeply polarizing figure, which is too bad. The level of security necessary for his safety at a college graduation is daunting to the university, and doing without that level of security unacceptable to him. So he canceled.

Miss Diva of Clan Underfoot, all 6 1/2 pounds of her. A tiny girl (about 3) downtown today, dancing a twirling for the pure joy of it. Feline Federation Wrestling between Diva and her littermate Ebony, which generally ends in bathing each other.

USAID was investigating Starlink. And now they've been shut down. Do you think there might be a connection?

They don't want to see it, and don't believe it when told. Or the bought the "necessary housecleaning" line the Traitor in Chief has been selling for years.

Rather like the presidential immunity ruling. Taney knew what result he wanted, and twisted and mangled the Constitution to get there.

I'm hoping the cure for lawyer brain is retirement. Otherwise I'm doomed. (Retired in 2005; never looked back.)

No disagreement. I meant only that the old EO was not the sole basis for challenge. I keep thinking of Andrew Jackson's response to the rulings in favor of the Cherokee: "They have made their ruling. Now let them enforce it."

It was codified. LBJ issued it while the Administrative Rules that interpret the statutes were being written.

The Civil Rights Act, the Equal Employment Opportunities Act, and the American with Disabilities Act are all still there. LBJ's EO set out in the requirements before the administrative rules could be enacted, but the Administrative Code has supercedes it anyway.

It only applies to children born after Feb 19, 2025. If it were made retroactive it would apply to me, too. I'm a retired attorney in my 60s who was born in Ohio.
