Merry Christmas! If you'd like to spend 45 minutes celebrating video game history with me, we're about to debut The Untold Story of the Nintendo Entertainment System. I worked on his ALL YEAR, and I genuinely think it will reshape how we all think about the system. www.youtube.com/watch?v=uJvp...
I'm in.

It's a holiday surprise! Casper Kelly is back with "Hallmark meets horror" sequel ADULT SWIM YULE LOG 2, "a genuine delight that’s weird and wonderful. It’s certainly one of 2024’s weirdest horror movies." Our review:

I think this is a locale-specific thing, and the more salient change is that you live in suburban CA now.
happy halloween
It isn’t symbolic or meaningful or an endorsement of anyone or anything when you tick the little box, it is a practical step adding your one little grain of sand to the balance to tip it away from what is unarguably a much bleaker future for the world
From the "Personal life and background" section of Usha Vance's Wikipedia page: "While at Yale Law School, Chilukuri met her future husband, JD Vance, a relationship encouraged by their professor Amy Chua. Chua has called their relationship "extremely unlikely, almost opposites of personality"."
The distinction would be rewriting "in a way that changes the meaning." Even accepting that, though, isn't the purpose of a union to collectively get improvements to working conditions that are otherwise "part of the deal" due to a power imbalance?
This is still a choice though, not some physical law. I don't think writers would be comfortable with the editor unilaterally rewriting the content of their article in a way that changes the meaning in order to fit the page, so why is it accepted for the headline?
Given how often writers have to deal with backlash over headlines they have no control over, has wresting control of that back ever been a demand from NewsGuild?
As a parent to a toddler, I spend a lot of time walking around with a stroller.
Now, more than ever, am I conscious of how impossible our cities must be to navigate for wheelchair users.
Everything I experience as an inconvenience is, to them, a potential insurmountable barrier.
I always thought it would have been a really good idea to have a documentary crew film something like Double Fine PsychOdyssey for the Search Quality team.

I enjoyed the evolution of this series, but the reboot really diverged from the original.
I'm not a lawyer, but that, plus the explicit mention of rental contract or payment in 2), and the procedure in c) by which they can go beyond those requirements, would indicate that they can't require the student's name on it.
"shall accept from the parent or legal guardian of a pupil reasonable evidence that the pupil meets the residency requirements [...] Reasonable evidence of residency [...] shall be established by documentation showing the name and address of the parent or legal guardian within the school district"
It seems wild that they can demand the student's name on the lease, when state law says that a lease with just the parent/guardian shall be accepted:

Yeah, I would not be surprised that many of these are put up as hurdles to dissuade people from enrolling, I'm just always shocked by blatantly illegal things in public comms (like the prevalence of "No Section 8" in rental listings).
Are those requirements posed on renters even legal?
