We've once again entered the mandatory period wherein it isn't the "right time" to talk about gun reform.
Please refrain from mentioning the heinously permissive #gun laws in #Georgia including, but not limited to, the 2017 passage of a law that requires colleges and universities to allow guns on campus.
Please also do not mention the fact that no permit is required to purchase or possess a shotgun, rifle, or handgun.
This period will run until the next shooting: on average less than a day.
This information mustn’t fall into the wrong hands, but I'm pretty sure any candidate that promised to eliminate ever making the clock hands go backwards would earn the support of everyone in my house.

Also:
"On this day in legal history, August 14, 1935, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed the Social Security Act. The act created unemployment insurance, pension plans for the elderly and what would become “Aid to Families with Dependent Children” (AFDC)."

In this Week in Insights I looked at an Australian sugary drinks tax through a fiscal policy lens:
“A recent study out of Australia, in collaboration with Deakin University and the University of Melbourne, found that a 20% tax on sugary drinks had a 10-year $63.5 million return on investment for Australian society writ large. The savings come in the form of reduced dental decay and a decrease in life years lost to premature death or disability.”

There's something strange going on over at #Twitter / #X. Not trying to start any conspiracy theories, but I’ll visit my profile after a long hiatus, scroll around a bit without interacting with any Xoots or whatever the hell, and a few moments later I'll get followed by a spam bot.
How would a bot know I was recently active on the service? Seems ... suspicious.
Happy Sunday #lawfedi folks!
Something tells me the week ahead will bring lots of fun (?) #legal topics to discuss. We have a #Matrix server for realtime discussions of various topics (and we keep #politics out of the main channel now). Matrix is essentially decentralized/#fediverse Slack
Give it a shot! See you in there.

I'm sure I'm missing many but there will be more Fridays (one hopes)!
I like to imagine Gustave Eiffel dropping the news that it'd have to be repainted every 7 years at the ribbon cutting.
"The Tower has been re-painted 19 times since… construction, an average of once every 7 years. It has changed colour several times, passing from red-brown to yellow-ochre, then to chestnut brown and finally to the bronze of today, slightly shaded off towards the top to ensure that the colour is perceived to be the same all the way [to] the Paris sky.”

#DeSantis laments missing much of #Trump’s arraignment because he was busy killing someone:
“I saw a little bit,” he said. “Unfortunately, one of the things as governor that you have to do is oversee executions. So we had an execution yesterday, so I was tied up with that for most of the day.”
For #lawfedi folks more interested in politics discussion, we humbly submit:
https://matrix.to/#/#politics:matrix.esq.social
Current discussions include whether "don't do more crimes" is a standard condition of release, in re the #Trump arraignment.

Sharing another link put me in mind of web 1.0 gem websites. The kinds of places you'd discover circa 1999 or 2000 and lose your entire day.
This is one of them - "The Hunt for the Death Valley Germans"
Note its a search and rescue operation that turns in to a recovery operation, so click with care. That said, absolutely riveting retelling of a task it is unfortunately too often necessary to perform.
