The San Francisco Board of Supervisors is going to vote today on whether to allow SF police to *use robots equipped with deadly force* and do you really need to ask me if it’s a good idea? https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2022/11/red-alert-sfpd-want-power-kill-robots

This photo sent back by NASA's Orion spacecraft is marvelous.

A camera carried by the craft is looking back at the Moon and Earth as the mission reaches its maximum distance of about 270k miles.

There's no one on board, but this is the furthest a spacecraft meant for humans has travelled from Earth.

Update: SG Prelogar has filed her reply brief in the Biden administration's shadow-docket request to unblock the student-debt relief program. SCOTUS now has all documents in hand. It could rule on whether to reinstate the plan (in whole or in part) at any time.

@design_law I want there to be a separate constitutional law bar where everyone has to have a degree in political theory to participate 🤣

@JacobDCharles Do those 5-10 people just post more? Also, do you use lists? E.g., I have a short list of people whose posts I definitely don't want to miss.

I’m following a ton of people on here but I only see posts from like 5-10 consistently. What am I doing wrong with my timeline?
