  1. https://foreignpolicy.com/2024/09/10/us-protectionism-biden-trump-tarrifs-harris-china/ Biden even increased them on certain goods. The idea seems to be to reduce dependence on Chinese imports. Even if it hurts us. Whatever you think of tariffs, Trump clearly does not understand them and attempting to finance programs using tariffs is pure idiocy.
  2. Well, further, it depends on the cause of action. What you most commonly see in federal courts is a "1983 violation," which is a violation of civil/constitutional rights. If a state permits it, state law torts can be alleged in addition and might have a different flavor of qualified immunity than what the constitutional torts under 1983 permit. Texas' version of official immunity for state torts is basically 100% immunity, it's not even qualified. Colorado apparently is waiving immunity for state torts, but has a damage cap. So that's why you pretty much only see 1983 claims in Texas.
  3. He doesn't even have to pack his asscrack with crunchy Jif.
  4. Well, here's some enshittening. Patently-o, the oldest and probably best patent law blog, is going to a monthly membership model starting today. Twenty years free. https://patentlyo.com/plans/join-2024 Not sure I blame him, but still.
  5. Dallas kid, probably kinda fratty. Also being TAPPS or whatever, figured he might be big fish in small pond rather than converse.
  6. Well, since the Supreme Court mostly took the student out of student-athlete, I guess who gives a fuck anymore. I used to consider it part of a university's obligation to its players to get them degreed. But that holds less water today.
  7. Now, a musical interlude.
  8. One place that NDAs rarely hold up, and many or most have a clause exempting disclosure to, is when law-enforcement comes a-knockin, even civil subpoenas tend to be an out on NDAs.
  9. Could have been an illusion created by second-teamers and lack of urgency, but it looked to me like Warren grew up a bit yesterday. He may prove to be a serviceable QB before it's all said and done.
  10. So much about recovery is just geared to making you a better person that understands their place in the world, among fellow persons and among institutions. Being honest with others and most particularly oneself is fairly essential to that. Also, taking responsibility for one's actions while also understanding that for which one is not responsble are also keys. The self-honesty, and honesty more generally leads to being a real, authentic person that accepts who they are and accepts their own flaws. It's a progress not perfection thing, so they're not always going to be perfect in that regard, but likely always making progress. I think a lack of self-honesty and the resulting inauthenticity is Tom Herman's problem. I think there's a lot of pressure in the "coaching industry" that attracts and manufactures borderline psychotic control freaks. Certain people are able to toe that line without turning into complete psycho control freaks and bringing down themselves and everything around them, sometimes fully sober, sometimes not. Through recovery, Sark has the tools and a life plan to avoid that.
  11. Only one of those states is a librul shithole. The others are just shitty shitholes.
  12. Is the 2015 guy a little extra woke with the twirling?
  13. "pollsters on the right" gave me a confuse for a minute.
  14. And Liberace nodded knowingly.
  15. i don't know what makes a successful coach. But I was rooting for Sark and knew better than most that his past didn't define his future.
  16. Yes Tucker, most philosophers, actual Christians, and intellectuals believe humans should follow their animal instincts to determine right and wrong. Also, animals, by and large, don't indulge in racism and misogyny.
  17. FURK. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/09/06/nyregion/trump-sentencing-delay-ruling.html
  18. Should be an interesting outcome. Jury verdicts are pretty often inviolable on appeal, but the evidence was pretty skimpy. And the judge had to make some evidentiary rulings based on some new "rape shield" type laws that he might not have gotten right. ETA: Don't be too surprised if it is reversed. But not because the Second Circuit is in Trump's pocket. There are some unusual aspects to the case.
