“No,” said Frog.
“If measles-mumps-rubella vaccination rates decline 1% annually for the next five years, associated medical and societal costs could reach $1.5 billion.” (That 1% is a conservative estimate “given current policy and coverage trajectory”.) [beckershospitalreview.com]
NEW: Federal judges have spent months ordering ICE to give detainees a chance for release in bond hearings.
Now, they're worried that the bond hearings themselves — conducted by Executive Branch immigration judges — are a farce.

Harper to the judge: "Your driver's license doesn't list your height and weight at birth. It doesn't list where you used to live. It identifies who you are now."
It got better for a bit, but I noticed it coming back a few days ago too!
BREAKING NYT:
Lindsey Halligan, the ex-U.S. attorney in the Eastern District of Virginia who brought criminal cases against Trump's enemies over the objections of career prosecutors, is under investigation by Florida's bar association, according to a letter the organization sent last month.
Vibe-coding replaced the paper handout. In other classes, when I want a students to work through a problem, my first instinct is a handout, whether a worksheet, fact pattern, checklist, or problem. In this class, my first instinct became “what if I built something they could interact with?” When the subject is technology, it made sense to me that the medium should be too. Creating interactive apps make the class more hands-on. Every one of these exists because I couldn’t find a way to give students a particular experience otherwise. You can lecture about how LLMs predict tokens. Or you can let students drag a temperature slider and watch the probability distribution change. You can tell students hallucinations are dangerous. Or you can have them create hallucinations and then fail to catch someone else’s.
This post by @thefordon.bsky.social is really interesting. She's teaching a course on legal technology and she is vibe coding tools to teach each lesson. It really looks like a new way to teach. "Vibe-coding replaced the paper handout." www.ailawlibrarians.com/2026/03/04/c...
Was just pondering the same.
Noon on a Thursday? So much for inspiring kids.
I got tired of searching for a wiki or knowledge management system for FLP and just built wiki.free.law. It’s great and has features that only make sense when you do it yourself.

Five days later and I still have no idea why USA started a war with Iran. No clear explanation. No plan. No goals. Just plunging the region into indefinite chaos. And no oversight from any branch of our government.
NEW: Over the past year, we've been collecting thousands of financial disclosure documents from across the Trump administration. Now we're making them searchable. Look up names, assets, former employers across 1,500+ Trump appointees and 3,000+ ethics documents.
When we talk about Baby Boomers not getting off the stage: In 1997, the US president was born in 1946.
In 2007, the US president was born in 1946.
In 2017, the US president was born in 1946.
And next year in 2027? The US president will have been born in 1946.
I feel like we typically see these sorts of completely outraged opinions from federal judges a couple times a year across the whole country, maybe a little more often in last few years. Now, in cases stemming from Trump's immigration crackdown, judges are ringing the alarm bell several times a week.
It’s on the list.
BREAKING: A federal judge on Tuesday ruled that New York’s congestion pricing toll is legal and may continue, handing a major victory to the state in its defense of the first-in-the-nation traffic reduction plan, which the Trump administration had tried for more than a year to kill.
Then again, maybe not! As with virtually everything the Trump administration does, it's hard to know whether the ineptitude will outweigh the evil in any given case

Send in an issue if it continues. This isn’t anything new on our side. It’s been in place for years.

It was too good to last. You had a good run together, though.
It's by IP address and actually a pretty dumb throttle. One thing that might contribute: Any chance you have extensions that would make it so you don't cache css, js, etc in your browser? Those files come from the same access bucket.
