Hey, y’all! Just another random, loudmouthed, opinionated, Southern-fried nerdy American living abroad.

I’m moving off kbin to lemmy, so I won’t be posting from here (unless kbin social gets it together).

It really wasn’t.

A 96-year-old federal judge is barred from hearing cases in a bitter fight over her mental fitness (apnews.com)

A 96-year-old U.S. federal appeals court judge was barred Wednesday from hearing cases for a year after a panel said she refused to undergo medical testing amid concerns that she is no longer mentally fit to serve on the bench....

I do not understand why someone in their dang 90s does not retire. Spend your days like my great-grandma did before she passed: time with your family and drinking whiskey on your porch.

Did you read the article?

neither the destroyed bridge nor the road leading to it had any barriers or warning signs to alert drivers of the hazard.

It was also raining and at night, so he likely had no way to know the bridge was gone until it would have been too late to stop.

The bridge broke down years ago. Google is absolutely also at fault for sending someone down it, along with whoever didn’t have warnings up. Multiple entities can be at fault here.

The bridge was broken years though, so Google should not have been using it for routes. The country is definitely at fault for not having signs up, but Google isn’t blameless in this.

Thing is, as the article points out, people had contacted Google trying to get this fixed.

There was more than one failure here. That’s why the family is suing more than one entity.

There were no signs or barriers, as the article mentioned, and it was a rainy night. This dude had no way of knowing or seeing something was wrong until it was too late.

Twitter has gone to shit since Elon bought it, so I’m not surprised. Scientists are getting harassed off the platform and the moderation team was gutted, so of course misinformation is starting to run rampant.

I’m sorry, but I really don’t understand what point you’re trying to make here, and none of your other comments have made it any clearer. Can you please explain what you’re trying to say?

Oooooookay then.

Yeah? Even ignoring how the results of this will determine how companies try this is the future (because they WILL), this shit is like classical Greek drama, watching someone fall because of their hubris.

Original ‘Daredevil’ Showrunner Calls Out ‘Disney Scam’ of Naming New Series ‘Daredevil: Born Again’: It ‘Resets Contract Terms Back to First Season’ (variety.com)

“It’s an old Disney scam where they slightly rename a series to reset contract terms back to first season,” DeKnight wrote on X/Twitter. “Needs to be addressed by all the guilds/unions and crushed!”

? The caption on the post is literally what was auto-pulled when I put in the URL. So I’m confused here.

Ahh, ok! Kbin has been doing some wonky things the last day or so with threading, so it looked to me like this was a standalone comment when I first saw it, which was why I was so confused. Sorry!

An anti-affirmative action group is suing the US Military Academy at West Point over race-based admissions policies | CNN (www.cnn.com)

The US Military Academy at West Point is being sued for its race-based admissions policies by the same group that won a landmark case against Harvard University and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in the Supreme Court over affirmative action earlier this year, according to a lawsuit filed Tuesday.

The largest beneficiary of Affirmative Action has been white women.

A lot of the planned release dates got pushed back a year or two because of covid, so add a year to each date to get closer to when things are probably going to actually come out, I reckon.

I haven’t heard about any plans for PS5 Pro, but all that leaks have said what’s coming out is more like a Slim, since it’s going to be smaller, and not have a built-in disk drive. We’ll see, tho.
