HMM: No More E-ZPass? Your Car May Soon Be Able to Pay Its Own Tolls. I mean, I’ve already done toll-by-plate in Florida.

I LOAD MINE WITH BULLETS. IS THAT NOT OKAY? You’re Loading Your AR-15 Wrong!

WELL, THIS IS THE 21ST CENTURY, YOU KNOW: Why Darren Aronofsky thought an AI-generated historical docudrama was a good idea. Production source says it takes “weeks” to produce just minutes of usable video.

In a few years it will take minutes.

FASTER, PLEASE: Experimental bioadhesive patch sticks to wet brain tissue and wipes out most glioblastoma cells.

NEW YORK STATE BECAME CANADA SO GRADUALLY I BARELY NOTICED: New York governor signs law allowing medical aid in dying for terminally ill residents.

POLITICS AS SELF-AGGRANDIZING FANTASY FOR LOSERS:

RULE OF LAW: Fourth Circuit Rejects Facial Challenge to Two Trump Anti-DEI Executive Orders: “What plaintiffs are really asking us to do is read subtext into the Provision’s text.”

SO PREDICTABLY PERFORMATIVE: Harvard’s likely new history chair called Trump ‘narcissist white supremacist habitual liar.’

MASSIVE RESISTANCE:

Has any dean, provost, or chair been fired (even just sent back to the faculty) over this type of explicitly illegal behavior? Has any department been put in receivership for breaking these laws serially for years?

It's striking that–in the context of the past decade in… https://t.co/mcgAPgncEA

NOW DO MOHAMMED: Drag performer dressed as the Pope at Northwestern.

EW.

The background of this whole British drama is depicting New Labour and everything that went with it as the moral downfall of the British left.https://t.co/tyisW9qH38

THE TIDE TURNS:

“The consensus looked invincible, until it wasn’t. A few years ago, it was risky … to even hint at doubt. Slowly journalists began raising … concerns. Now, a whopping malpractice verdict … makes it risky for doctors NOT to question these interventions.” https://t.co/8drZdmjiXy

DUE PROCESS DEPENDS ON WHAT’S AT STAKE, NOT ONLY FOR THE CITIZENS BUT FOR THE GOVERNMENT:

"What process is due?"

Two factual issues:

1. Enter the U.S. without inspection.
2. Remain in U.S. without status.

No equitable issues to consider.

99% of outcomes are removals.

Congress intended the process to run by Regulation.

If Congress doesn't like the Regulation… https://t.co/PZbQHEVsQ5

The Supreme Court in Mathews v. Eldridge:

“[D]ue process is flexible and calls for such procedural protections as the particular situation demands,” Morrissey v. Brewer, 408 U. S. 471, 408 U. S. 481. Resolution of the issue here involving the constitutional sufficiency of administrative procedures prior to the initial termination of benefits and pending review, requires consideration of three factors: (1) the private interest that will be affected by the official action; (2) the risk of an erroneous deprivation of such interest through the procedures used, and probable value, if any, of additional procedural safeguards; and (3) the Government’s interest, including the fiscal and administrative burdens that the additional or substitute procedures would entail.

This applies to immigration, too.

OPEN THREAD: Ring out the weekend.

PLENTY OF VOLUNTEERS FOR RESEARCH WILL BE AVAILABLE: It’s time to think about human reproduction in space, scientists urge. “If reproduction is ever to occur beyond Earth, it must do so with a clear commitment to safety, transparency and ethical integrity.”

That’s not really how it’s worked on Earth.
