Electronic Gloves guy built a "better mousetrap," then mailed the mice his address.

If you can't afford a registered agent or lawyer you probably shouldn't being building shock gloves.

I've updated my document that tackles four of the common arguments used to encourage teachers to use AI.

I hope this will be helpful to those educators wanting to push back on AI mania.

Hey Vanderbilt grads, time to fight back before these yahoos nuke the value of a Vanderbilt degree. Absolute insanity cloaked in “neutrality” language.
I started at Vanderbilt almost a decade ago, to launch their First Amendment clinic. How sad to see how far it has strayed. This policy is a problem six ways from Sunday.
🚨🚨🚨

ALERT: Vanderbilt's board just launched a horrifying assault on academic freedom that threatens the legitimacy of their university.

This seems like a natural consequence of that sham of an “investigation“ into the academic Humanities & Social Science the President of Vanderbilt commissioned last year, despite all the authorial protestations to the contrary.

Perrin March is currently working at the Cincinnati based barbershop Bourbon & Blade under the pseudonym Magnus, where he takes walk-in clients. It's unclear to us whether his employer is aware of his activities in the white nationalist organizing space.

Let’s not forget that this illegal Reflecting Pool indictment was also overseen by Todd Blanche. He could have stopped this at any time, but he was a corrupt and willing accomplice to this fraud upon the court. How can any decent person possibly vote for this man as AG?

I've been thinking a lot about humans as "burden," the idea that the systems and institutions created by people can somehow be burdened by those who require them. It's a lot like thinking humans can be "illegal." 1/3

In fact, it’s best for Democrats if McConnell is alive and absent.

Where are the Kentuckians who are impatient with Andy Beshear's approach to McConnell? It seems only the national pundits and Twitter trolls are upset with how he's playing this.

I keep saying this. Just enjoy one less Republican vote and take the win. As fun as dead Lindsey is, I'd far rather have him barely functional and expressing vague intent to return to his vacant seat someday.
Beshear: "There's an argument that August 3 is a date where I could not later call a special. Those that are really pushing this are under the impression a Dem might be able to win. It's been since '92 that we had a Dem senator in KY ... not having McConnell show up isn't necessarily a bad thing"

1. This New York Post cover: “Thousands of 9/11 families demand Mamdani be banned from 25th-Anniversary” is a brazen lie.

It's unfortunate that people who don't understand Kentucky want to judge Andy Beshear's "courage.' Andy is strategic and very smart. Let's calm down for real, y'all.
