He, him, his. Lent, Easter, Pentecost. Impeach, convict, remove.
@dsalo Some of the template packages I've seen for HTML kind of do the reverse.
And the back-end data for some of my applications support text fields with macros of various types in curly brackets, in a way where I realize a relatively small extension to my code could have them support full-blown JSON embedded inside HTML.
@andrew We haven't stress-tested them nearly as much as some other Philadelphians have (as we're a white Canadian-American couple) but on a rec from a neightbor (also white American) we consulted Colleen Doherty at https://piclaw.com/ for advice before a recent cross-border trip, and were happy with the consultation.
But I'd pay more attention to any recommendations you get from people who've had to rely on lawyers to defend their rights more vigorously.
For folks in the #Philadelphia area: #CVS in Pennsylvania won't be scheduling #covid #vaccines until after the ACIP meeting (currently scheduled for mid-September; who knows if/when it will actually happen)?
But locations in Delaware and NJ are accepting appointments now for vaccinations starting September 5th!
A number of public demonstrations and parades are happening across the US this #LaborDay.
In #Philadelphia the 38th annual Tri-State Labor Day Parade goes from 9am-2pm, billed as a family-friendly union celebration with Mayor Parker and other local figures: https://www.mobilize.us/aflcio/event/815760/.
Events elsewhere may be more protest than celebration. Philly area #WorkersOverBillionaires demonstrations are happening in King of Prussia, Ardmore, Ambler, and elsewhere. Find them here: https://workerslaborday.org/
Join the Philadelphia Council AFL-CIO for the 38th Annual Tri-State Labor Day Parade & Family Festival. All union members in Philadelphia should be in touch with their local union for additional details and to make sure you have a wristband. If you are not a union member, we will have wristbands for sale at the event.
@dsalo YMMV, but my feelings about being in a group with a bad actor have less to do with what the bad actor does than with how the group does or doesn't support the bad actor in their wrongdoing.
I haven't been following this case super-closely, but I'm not aware of any organized Jewish group support of Wax in her lawsuit.
"As much as Wax would like otherwise, this case is not a First Amendment case. It is a discrimination case brought under federal antidiscrimination laws. It calls for us to determine whether offensive comments directed at racial minorities are protected by those laws. ...[But] the anti-discrimination statutes protect speakers, not speech."
