I had a class in law school with a prof who would arrange brief student arguments on a point. He'd pick controversial topics, and go "Okay, you argue for, you argue against."
After the five minute argument, "Okay, switch."
Law professors strongly support free speech but struggle to put it into practice on campus, according to a new survey by the nonprofit Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression reut.rs/43XGmuR

What I'd love to see, which would be even better but would absolutely get a prof who tried it nuked from orbit, would be:
"Okay, here's the obviously-correct-everyone-agrees-that-this-is-true-and-moral position. Argue against it."

The tech industry should have a solidarity regime in place for things like this.
Pass some stupid, privacy-invasive law, they immediately all pull out.
NEW: U.K. advances proposal to force Apple, Google, Signal, & other platforms to scan private content on users’ devices — executives could face prison if they refuse.

Internet: "Runkle, you're not going to eat those pig eyes, right?"
Runkle: "Of course not, don't be silly."
Also Runkle:

Mrs. Runkle is away, and she has the only car that isn't stuck in a bog.
Which means that my dinner tonight is likely going to be my impulse-bought chicken feet.

Seriously important lessons to learn:
Yes, it is important to wear the gas mask when you're doing a test with lye, to make sure it can't bounce back at you and blind you.
...but you should also have put the gas mask on before doing a test with Carolina Reaper powder.

Also, the final boss of negative internal thoughts is playing around with blasting bits of lye around... while your eyes are burning from hot pepper powder.

Anyway, for this video I am going for the absolute "I am not fucking around here" option.
Trying to pick the best form of eye/face protection for the absolutely stupid thing I'm getting ready to do is like the Pulp Fiction scene where he's going through the available weapons at the pawn shop...

This is the best pic of Potter I could get.
He's having a blast with the shadows, but it's not photogenic.

Zora and Potter are highly suspicious of my hammock time. This is probably because they see me relaxing and are wondering if I've been replaced by a pod person.

Zora has finally chilled out a bit.
Can't get a good picture of Potter right now because he's trying to hunt the shadow of the hammock.

Get everything set up to film...
And all my camera batteries are dead. Fuck. Well, I guess it's some hammock time.

This is plainly a lie by BAM, because the lawsuit specifically claims crowdfunding moneys, and specifically identifies GoFundMe.
Bricks & Minifigs denies making any legal attempt to seize Reckless Ben’s GoFundMe amid the $200k Lego dispute
The company also maintains that consignments were never approved as an authorized sales process
Community note
The lawsuit seeks disgorgement of "GoFundMe and other crowdfunding proceeds" raised by defendants, contrary to the denial. s3.documentcloud.org/documents/2818…

Also, random fun with AliExpress/Algorithms:
If what you search for/buy on AliExpress is leatherworking stuff, it also starts showing you a lot of fetish content.
...look, guys, I just like making leather journals and belts and shit.

I have made some fetishy stuff for people who asked for it when I sold some leather stuff (ages ago)...
It's not worth it. They have money, but holy shit are they picky motherfuckers and it's a hassle and a half.

Ordinary people: "Hey, here's this belt." "Awesome!"
Fetishy people: "...these straps needs to be wider." "You said 1" strap." "Wider." "...that requires taking the whole thing apart and doing a ton of additional work. You said 1" strap." "I'm not paying for this."

I'm actually shocked that actresses for video games don't have contractual terms barring this.
Despite being in Spanish, the message is easy enough to understand.
Why does the uglification only happen when it's a woman?
