Glad to see the unions getting involved against the Vox/Atlantic AI deals

@DrPsyBuffy @bmacDonald94 In California a default divorce can be re-opened for almost any even vaguely legitimate reason up to 180 days after service of the default on the party or TWO YEARS if they aren’t served. My ex tried this (claiming I coerced him into the settlement) but, luckily, his lawyer missed the deadline. It’s nuts!

It is raining in San Diego. In late May. Oh, sure, it’s marine layer rain and will burn off later probably, but it’s still rain, not just mist. Crazy.

I'm shocked. 😐

I almost feel sorry for all the Windows-based lawyers... because they will have to switch their OS now that there is nothing even vaguely confidential about that OS.

(MS has lost its collective mind...and WTF were its in-house counsel thinking?!?!)

And yes, I know you can theoretically turn it off, but would you trust that it really was turned off? Or that MS wouldn't push it further asamfp?

If you encourage not voting for Biden, especially as if that is a noble and compassionate thing to do (like, bc he hasn't stopped the Gaza genocide), you are contributing to the death of democracy not just in the USA, but globally.

Grow the fuck up: you won't get what you want by taking your toys and stomping off the playground.

There is an employment ad in The San Diego Union Tribune today placed by Ness Dental Corporation looking to hire a dentist. Offered salary was less than $63,000. In San Diego (National City). Apparently legit (I looked up the Co.).
The average salary for a dentist here is 2-3 times that. What kind of dentist would work for that?

😬😬😬

Not sure who all need to read this but stating "I claim Fair Use" is not the magical incantation you seem to think it is. Rather, it holds the same legal value of citing Rubber v Glue.

Happy competitive romance day to those who celebrate.

@tess I'm "social responsibility" with an "existential risk" chaser.

@tess For those playing catch-up... when a venture capitalist says it (whatever "it" is) is good for us and regulating it is bad for us, the ONLY "us" involved is the super wealthy. For the rest of us, normal folk us, it's likely to be as good for us as a heaping serving of polonium pudding.

Yup. GA Supreme Court is not having any of Trump's BS.
