The women say the policy could jeopardize the ability of Kappa to have current exemptions allowed under Title IX for single-sex organizations. The same argument failed to convince the judge in two cases brought by the women’s younger sorority sisters.

Heh...my only real memory of the film from viewing it back in the day is Liev Schreiber's time-traveling character snickering at the word "erection". Clearly I should rewatch it!

Terriers - excellent 2010 caper-style dramedy series starring Donal Logue and Michael Raymond-James, created by the screenwriter behind "Oceans Eleven". Relatable & endearing characters, compelling arcs, razor-sharp writing, wrapped in a noire detective plot set in sunny San Diego. Aired for just 13 eps on FX back in the day, only a couple of years before streaming platforms really hit big (and where it likely would have found its audience) and I've mourned "what could have been" ever since. Can't recommend it enough, despite the final ep having a bit of a "lady or the tiger" ending. I urge you to seek it out.

 

The federal government’s most recent cuts to the CIFA will eliminate close to one million hours of inspection, laboratory, and surveillance work every year.

Declining education levels and untreated mental health issues really are going to cook everybody, aren't they? Good lord.

So messed up... And "own goal"-type errors (if that is genuinely what this turns out to be) like this are doubly infuriating in that they not only unnecessarily smear uninvolved civilians but also provide ammo to bad-faith actors who will now double down on their insistence the entire push for transparency is a "witch hunt". The last thing the world needs is to give the flailing MAGA attack apparatus ammo. Ugh.

Why does it not occur to the overconfident goons reflexively hitting "report" that the reason AI uses em dashes so frequently is because SO DID THE ACTUAL HUMANS they stole their shit from?? Alt+0151 motherfuckers, it's not that deep 🙄

This fucking ghoul needs to be among the first in handcuffs when the prosecutions start.

Massie was and is extremely wrong about many issues IMO, but I'll be damned if his backbone on this hasn't given me some satisfaction. I guess being a bullheaded libertarian who sincerely believes in your principles can be an advantage when your naysayers are straight up hypocrites defending child-raping billionaires.

"Yo dawg, we heard Canadians had significant concerns about AI trust, transparency, privacy issues, and data sovereignty, so we fed your feedback without your permission into a bunch of commercial LLMs created by foreign tech oligarchs so we could figure out why you are so concerned about AI trust, transparency, data issues, and data sovereignty..."
