That’s disappointing. I found that he usually was pretty good at doing that kind of content without being mean.

You’re thinking of The Soup. Tosh.0 was Daniel Tosh’s show where he made fun of people from YouTube.

So they’re like Tosh.0 but without the funny?

I can only suspect this same population spends a lot of time watching last month’s TikToks as Facebook reels, so: presumably?

I confess I’m happy to hear that. I skipped this year because when I heard the “all over SF” plan it reminded me of 2006, the year E3 scattered itself all over Santa Monica.

This is how I found out America’s Funniest Home Videos still exists.

Perhaps relevant to this thread.

Pitch an unnecessary sequel

Noah 2

Real ones know.

Intermodal transport FTW.

If the in-house lawyer actually does that. As this one may not have been able to.

Source: I was a CLO for 16 years.

If you’re dealing with Quebec you’ll rarely go wrong using tu; Europe and Africa are a bit more formalistic.

There’s more reason outside counsel would do it, because they don’t have the deep relationships in the company.

In fact it was usually the announcements where I found out about the negative surprises.

Could also be this one, but this sounds like the kind of thing you’d hear someone talking about. I’ve had negative surprises before, but usually it’s things that aren’t major initiatives but have serious consequences, not something that merits an announcement.

In the EU they don’t let in-house lawyers have privilege because they think in-house lawyers don’t have sufficient independence to give proper advice, on the basis that they can be fired so their advice may be tailored around keeping their job. Situations like this make me think the EU may be right.

This results in Legal decisions getting filtered through someone else’s lens. In this case, I think that may have happened because even the best lawyer can’t get past a CFO focused on growing revenue without concern for risk.

Initial responses to this thread showed me I left unmentioned what I suspect is another issue: her reporting line. This has all the indicia of a GC who reports to the CFO. This is a thing tech companies like to do to “minimize distractions” for the CEO.

She has no experience in a company with a similar business, but she does have experience not getting in the way of growth. As in: she's who the investors pick. That's fine; it's their prerogative to decide not to avoid foreseeable risks. But that's how this GC would have not foreseen them.

Grammarly Welcomes General Counsel I shared the following message with Grammarly team members: I’m thrilled to share that Jennifer Miller…

I've seen a lot of speculation about why Grammarly's lawyers didn't notice that their latest silliness would cause litigation risk. Here's their GC. You see the relevant section about halfway down where they talk about her prior experience: she's not an IP person, she's an M&A person.

Played his way onto the team as an undrafted free agent. And his name is Jake Bobo!

Also he's a fan favorite.

Horton takes a lot of jet sweeps but you're right, I'm thinking of Holani. And: agree about him getting that bag. The career of a running back is short enough, and Seattle doesn't have a great record of their good ones lasting long (see e.g.: Shaun Alexander).

Also a Seahawks fan over here. Agree. Zero chance the team was keeping K9 after that MVP; Charbonnet was basically playing as RB1 for most of the season anyway, and there's perfectly good Tory Horton as RB2.

Very good selection criterion. I don't do a final exam anymore unless the students ask for one; I've moved to weekly assignments.

I agree with your take on Season 2. I'm just not sure that I would have extended Season 1.

"I have to cancel a couple of classes"

For my poor students this quarter: I have to cancel a couple of classes, which means I need to do a small curriculum adjustment. Do you think they should be subjected to the WGA Collective Agreement, or to my ramblings about the legality of media industry consolidation?

The Park City thing was always tied to Redford and now that he’s dead, no more need to have it in his home town.

By the looks of that photo she’s also stealing roles from Laura Innes.

Also, South by Southwest has famously been held in Austin for its entire history.
