Supreme Court may look to the Civil War to resolve whether Trump can be on the ballot
  • The Chase case is a terrible example for several reasons laid out here: https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/24396727-kermit-roosevelt-amicus?responsive=1&title=1

    That's an amicus brief for this case, filed with the Supreme Court by the great-great-grandson of Teddy Roosevelt, a historian who spends a great deal of time explaining the full context of the fourteenth from actual historical record and case law, including (and excoriating) Chase.

    A lawyer and commentator for Lawfare declared it the best of the briefs he's seen, and he cited other excellent ones as well that do not rely on Chase.

    It's 54 pages, so not for the timid, but I found it a fascinating read and anyone wanting to know the actual history will as well.

  • I would suggest camping out on https://www.boardgamegeek.com/ and seeing whether anything tickles your fancy in the suitable genre and weight category. Advanced search, or the genre-specific rankings are very helpful.

    Many folks make geeklists that address questions such as yours as well.

    Instagram’s Threads surpasses 100 million users
  • That really doesn't need to be known, we could tell just from average daily active user counts. If those weren't provided, that's a big red flag on the rest of their numbers because there's no reason not to include those numbers. Active users is the most accurate measure. They might reasonably choose to hype the signups number, but if everyone wants to know actives and it's not provided, that's Meta choosing to hide the information. Not a confident move.

    The ruling, in a case brought by a Hamburger Mary's restaurant, pauses enforcement of the state's new "Protection of Children" law, which prohibits admitting children to an "adult live performance."
