It pains me to say this, and I hope nobody out here ever needs this advice. If you ever get arrested in Wisconsin, don’t post bail in cash. In fact, if you cannot post bail with a bail bondsman (Wisconsin is one of four states that don’t allow them; Illinois, Kentucky, and Oregon) and most [...]

While the story is a bit stale, I wasn’t able to blog about it when it was first published, and the possibility of this happening again is still very timely. Techdirt reported last November on the seizure of a popular music blog’s domain and its eventual return to its rightful owners. What’s alarming here is [...] A recent CBS New York news story just has to be seen to be believed, and I quote: Fearing that certain words and topics can make students feel unpleasant, [New York City Department of Education] officials are requesting 50 or so words be removed from city-issued tests. The reasons behind some of these give me [...] I was in shock when I first read this. CopBlock reports on the nonsensical arrest of Amanda, who I would assume for privacy reasons has been identified only by her first name.

It involves local food truck The Modular, run by Joshua Martinez, and an as-yet-unnamed HPD officer. Quoting the article: “[The officer] told me, ‘You’re supposed to move every 59 [...] Racism takes many forms. I had honestly hoped that we’d see an end to the rather stupid and juvenile throwing of bananas onto the field as a racist statement against (primarily) athletes of African descent and/or with darker skin. If you haven’t heard much about it, it’s because mainly it happens in soccer games outside [...] Harvey Anderson, a Mozilla employee in charge of legal and business affairs, recently blogged about a request by the Department of Homeland Security to take down the MafiaaFire add-on. The apparent issue DHS has with the plug-in is that it redirects the users from one domain to another automatically, which is usually not a big [...] I honestly don’t know what else to conclude after reading this article than it must be a requirement to have next to zero intelligence to be a judge in Illinois. This is sort of a follow-up to the Christopher Drew case that I blogged about back in 2010 June. It involves a very similar abuse [...] |
