You'll always be my favorite author on copyright for your important and groundbreaking scholarship on Monkey Selfies.

Yes, and I wish we had something similar. My oldest doesn't have any bad choices ahead, just different pros and cons. I have tried to respond to requests for help rather than dictating the process. It was nice to know I wasn't alone in taking that approach w/ the helicopter parents all around us.

We're going through the application process for the first time with our oldest, and he applied/ was accepted to the U where I work. I've tried to be as hands off as possible because I want him to be able to choose without him feeling pressure to come to Minnesota.

I've written for decades about how telecom monopolies use broadband usage caps to price gouge captive customers. They serve no technically function, don't fix network congestion, and can be abused anti-competitively by ISPs. It's 2024 and the FCC is finally "taking a look" at the problem:

The FCC is looking into the impact of broadband data caps and why they still exist

Will the FCC put a limit on internet data caps?

Remember when considering this partisan hackery that @BrendanCarrFCC has been at the agency for 2617 days of the 5328 days the FCC has been trying to finish its National Broadband Plan. Something about glass houses and throwing rocks. www.wsj.com/opinion/kama...

You denied yourself a great opportunity to put those two idiots in their place I did this once when I took lawyers fishing back when I was guiding. They were debating Chevron deference in an upcoming case, and after listening for a bit, I jumped right in. The look on their faces was precious.

Notably absent from this discussion is Brendan Carr, the senior GOP FCC commissioner. But I'm sure he'll jump right on the train to criticize Trump on this, maybe even as soon as he's done imagining how cool it would be to regulate internet content that he hates.

This is great news for Minnesota on day 5323 of the National Broadband Plan, but we're still talking north of $6500 per connection. Last Mile Gaps are expensive, especially in rural areas: mn.gov/deed/newscen...

I might still be the only person counting or keeping score but I think it is important to do so. (If only to troll Carr)
