Still reeling from the Stanford report on Brexit. Reduced GDP by up to 8% and investment by as much as 18%. The UK Treasury would have £40 billion more each year if Britain had remained in the EU. Devastating self-immolation.

For those going home to visit family this weekend:

• Samsung calls it Auto Motion Plus
• LG calls it TruMotion
• Sony calls it Motionflow
• Roku calls it Action Smoothing
• Google TV calls it Motion Enhancement
• Vizio calls it Smooth Motion Effect.

You could even argue RO's compromises make Andor worse. e.g. Disney demanding a relatable droid for marketing leading to having to shoehorn K2SO into the last few episodes of Andor.

This is a thought-provoking take. Most people say Andor makes Rogue One retrospectively better. Jamelle suggests (I think probably correctly) that any film should be evaluated on its own merits. But your suggestion is that Andor makes Rogue One retrospectively *worse*. Interesting!

"The devil can cite scripture for his purpose" is supposed to be a metaphor for the malleability of textual interpretation, not a suggestion that the devil is a moron who will self-own by citing authority for the principle he's arguing against.

No slippers I get, without triggering the whole bare feet on planes pile-on.

But what's wrong with pajamas? People sleep on the plane, they're comfortable, not (necessarily) immodest or gross, and have to meet stringent fire safety standards?

You can sell a drill to a man but you can't sell to a mandrill.

You know what was unhelpful, all the electeds and pundits back in the spring saying, "to be sure, maybe DOGE is needed to increase efficiency". That's not what it was for, it was meant for destruction and crimey stuff. Total marks.

Obviously unjust conduct by the US government here, but this also shows the weakness of EU institutions. You can't provide sufficient legal protections and alternative systems so your sanctioned citizens can get access to a bank account? Russia, Iran, and North Korea figured that out long ago.

Especially for the 1Ls out there, preparing for their 1st set of law school exams, I wrote this post back in 2007 about how to get a good grade on a law school issue spotter. The post, "Bad Answers, Good Answers, and Terrific Answers," is available here:

Nursing is no longer counted as a 'professional degree' by Trump admin The Department of Education has excluded nursing as a "professional degree" program as it implements various changes to student loans.

If they kick out the nurses but keep the chiropractors, "professional" is a club I (a lawyer) don't want to be part of anymore.

Trump Peace Plan Demands Major Concessions From Ukraine The leaked proposal reveals Ukraine would have to cede territory, while Russia would receive incentives.

Two weeks in Poland have radicalized me on this. America is worthless if we can't stand up.

This is an absolute disgrace from a country that is supposed to be a beacon of freedom around the world. Rewarding war criminals like this surpasses Chamberlain's worst missteps. www.wsj.com/world/u-s-pe...

Agent 47 Teams Up With Eminem To Kill Slim Shady In New Hitman Update - Kotaku The new mission starring the famous rapper and his alter ego will be available to play for free in December

"Teaming up with Eminem to kill Slim Shady" just seems like a rather violent metaphor for therapy. If so, good on Marshall for getting help, but I'm not sure Agent 47 is licensed.

Increases in average annual premiums in seven key states.

"Climate shock." New study shows that rising property insurance premiums caused by growing weather extremes are cascading into the real estate market. Homes in the ZIP codes most exposed to hurricanes and wildfires would sell for an average of $43,900 less than they would otherwise.

It's not a sophisticated reaction, but my response to both "quiet, piggy" and the Coast Guard okaying swastikas and nooses is a deep sadness that the compassion we're working so hard to foster in our children will not just be challenged by schoolyard bullies but by the highest levels of society.

If this is what you're reaching for as a *comforting* comparison...
