Lol, what a dumbass. That's a lot of effort and "legal" gymnastics to declare executive orders null and void, when he could just say he's cancelled them. That's the whole point of executive orders. The executive controls them.

The most annoying thing is the Zebesians didn't even have standing to sue, it was all based on a hypothetical complaint just so they could get it in front of SCOTUS.

Back when I was in high school and frequently read Star Wars EU stuff I knew the names and species of all the weirdos in the background of the cantina and Jabba's palace.

Book 10 is thankfully the low point of The Slog. In book 11 he remembered that you can have events happen.

IMO The Road To The Spear is one of the best episodes of TV produced in the last couple years.

Just lock him in a room with a slot for bills to sign and and to deliver his big macs. As long as nobody else gets to talk to him we might be able to ride this out.

Rafe already closed the door on Egwene resurrecting people back after Season 1. He confirmed Nynaeve wasn't all dead. Only mostly dead.

Yeah, the inbox tabs, notification filtering, and the thing where it would do stuff like say "hey this looks like a hotel/flight itinerary, want me to throw it on your calendar?" worked pretty well for years, and then they were like, but what if we threw into our AI grinder.

I always love the wild swings Grok takes between fairly accurate and benign descriptions of reality and Nazism/sycophancy every time Musk goes from "I'm going to make the most fact-based chatbot" to "Grok is too Woke and my feelings are hurt" tweaks the parameters.

You do have to look up your rate in the table in the PDF booklet and whatnot. But it is free. And not free under a certain income or whatever like so many of the other services, but just fully free. Not as good as the unjustly axed tool they began to rollout last year 2/3

For folks that have relatively simple taxes and don't mind kicking it slightly old-school, the IRS site has links to a "free fillable e-forms" tool that is essentially digital versions of the paper forms. Very little assistance other than auto-adding and rounding some fields. 1/3

Hmm, I'm not sure I can think of any offhand within that range who became notable after highschool. 3 within 1 year of me had been regulars on Barney as youngsters. Several that I know of in the 3-4+- range.

This Is How You Lose The Time War by Amal El-Mohtar and Max Gladstone
An epistolary sci-fi romance about agents for feuding multi-versal time-traveling empires. Beautiful and a quick read. 4/4

Scholomance by Naomi Novik.
A magic boarding school story. Starts out seeming like it's going to be super grim once the premise is set out, but reveals itself as a story about tearing down unjust systems and replacing them with something kinder. 3/x

The Locked Tomb by Tamsyn Muir.
Sci-fi + Fantasy. Vibe doesn't gel for everyone, but it's got carefully built allusions to classic Greek plays and devastating emotional moments sandwiching references to silly memes and old Simpsons episodes. One of my favorite series ever. 2/x

(Some of) My usual list of recs:
Discworld by Terry Pratchett, if you've not already read it. Absolute classics. The first few (in publication order) aren't quite as good, because he was still figuring out his voice. But it's not a single "series" per se, so you can start pretty much anywhere.

I don't understand the point of generating anything like real art for placeholder loading screens. Just put some different stick figures with the text "Placeholder asset" slapped on, so you don't accidentally let something through or waste work on a temporary asset.

I pretty much always have at least one case where I count out the right number criminals based on innocents (or vice versa) and then when I click the button have both words in brain and select the wrong one.
