Here we are … AI lawyers.

So Orange Man’s Big Beautiful Bill has a lot of disturbing elements – the one that has been on my mind of late is the selling of public lands. I simply don’t understand this – but not but of what comes out of this blubbery, feckless blowhard makes sense.

Our public lands is what makes America Great – the ability to protect such amazing lands is unique to the US (at least in scope).

Looks like this part of the BBB is being taken out: https://newrepublic.com/post/197167/republicans-remove-sale-public-lands-budget-bill

Good.

Asshole.

I get freedom. I get we shouldn’t be beholden to ‘The State’. Frankly, I do struggle with laws like seatbelt laws, helmet laws, etcetera. I get that the open road is symbiotic to freedom. And we shouldn’t have laws that dictate things that are required for us (not necessarily impacting other drivers) to be safe.

But there is irony here. TIL: lawyer who fought Florida helmet laws dies on motorcycle … not wearing helmet. Oh – and his passenger died, too (nope, no helmet).

In the end – it’s Darwinism. Sad, but there you go.

Was at Lowe’s yesterday with Tina and saw this while in the cabinet fixture aisle (building a cabinet for my 3D printer – more on that some other time) …

It’s just a curious thing that this really has to be called out on the packaging …

This is actually quite entertaining …
