English High Court justices in the red dress, which is fringed with white synthetic fur.

English High Court justices do. The below is from the BBC. Different courts have slightly different dress I believe.

This is very normal attire for judges in Commonwealth countries, though details differ. It’s inherited from English legal dress, which itself is a byproduct of the gradual evolution of judges from royal court officials to modern independent jurists.

The Economist does not credit any writers for any articles they publish, it’s been the house style since it began.

If you haven’t seen the bit with Joe Wilkinson’s poem, I strongly recommend it.

Amazing. I imagine that’s going up on the wall!

Maybe, but think about how many people definitely wouldn’t go bankrupt because they got sick.

Thankfully, there are a lot of international examples (including my home country of Australia), that can help with how to administer universal healthcare.

From my own experience, it’s very achievable.

I guess it was inevitable that our judges would feel left out and have a crack at smartphone design too.

Popular hobby of judges and legislators these days.

It’s too hard to set it up on Apple devices for average users, and that ultimately meant I couldn’t get my wife using it. She’s gone back to Google despite hating it.

Maybe see if Apple would add you as a default for Safari, like they did for DDG.

Pleased to see Richard looking well. He makes a damn good pumpkin pie.

Sounds great. Signed up.

Hope to see more of you in these parts.

Yeah, definitely worse battery life but it isn’t too bad. I haven’t been hit by any of the bugs others have reported, so I can’t complain though. Been very stable so far.

What an awful shock. So sad for his family and the team.

Not surprised, basketball is really big down here in Australia.

With the playoffs over, just want to say thanks for the coverage. You killed it with your reporting this year.

As soon as I saw those I thought about your critique of Converse’s strategy.

You nailed it.

Block lists doing their work - he was blocked for me before I even knew he was on here.

My sister-in-law nearly died from this because her gynaecologist ignored her symptoms. So anything that helps understand and hopefully one day cure pre-eclampsia is a wonderful thing.

Can confirm. I don’t think I’ve ever even seen it at a pub here.

Much bigger in England than here.

Thankfully they make it really easy to skip the ads by having nothing worth watching on their service.

Best example is that layup over Haliburton in the second, where he just kept extending himself to put the ball beyond Haliburton’s reach, and Haliburton is not small. Haliburton’s block attempt was about a foot behind the ball when SGA was done.

It’s a beta 1 bug for anyone coming across this. I’d expect it to be fixed in future betas.

You’re a better person than I. I have no time for MAGA and their bigotry. Which is why I’m here! That and basketball.

That is as maybe, but how does it apply in this moment? We’re not dealing with Chomsky anymore. What do we lose from failing to engage in the intellectual slop that characterises the Trump movement that dominates Twitter? And by ignoring those voices, do we instead create a space for others?

It’s telling you used Chomsky as the exemplar here. Because you can’t use Rufo, Miller or any of the other fascists as an example because they aren’t putting forward a thoughtful argument and everything is bad faith. Popper had the solution for fascists and it’s not staying in the room with them.

It’s been a great season so far. TM continues to get the casting so very right.

The photo is very likely not altered, that’s just the flash of the photographer’s camera, which allows the them to use a faster shutter speed that cuts down the ambient light from the arena lights. It’s not uncommon in basketball photography.
