@NickWhiteheadMN@BachmannRudi What was the wording on the ballot in Texas? Presumably that wording was neutral and better, resulting in a free and fair election?
Doesn’t have to be through an oral examination but I am convinced that everyone in academia could stand to be asked “What do you mean by that word? What does that phrase mean?” way more often.
Ah yes, inspired by the picture of architects eating lunch up on a steel beam, the picture that famously dramatized how architects bravely risk their lives every day
2025 was the year when artificial intelligence’s full potential roared into view, and when it became clear that there will be no turning back.

That would leave someone like Agatha Christie, who published her first book at 30 and lived to 85, only 5 years without the rights to that book. Keep in mind that her last book, under current law, will not enter the public domain until 2072, 96 years after her death. [14/15]
