It's well worth noting that the DOJ attorneys didn't act out of any sense of professional responsibility or legal ethics when they withdrew "subpoenas of 3 reporters for The New York Times after admitting legal errors." The DOJ attorneys acted to stifle speech. They acted to avoid a judicial order that would have exposed how remarkably rotten their misconduct actually was.

The DOJ expressly admitted that they had failed to even try to even identify (much less comply with) "the leading case [judicial decision] in this field." See, e.g,, https://www.lawdork.com/p/thursday-was-the-worst-day-for-doj-so-far. Even after the Judge exposed the blatant illegality (and unconstitutionality) of the DOJ attorneys' misconduct, Sean Buckley, a senior DOJ attorney "initially said the government didn’t want to withdraw the subpoenas but instead preferred to keep them held in abeyance while the investigation continued, [so Judge] Subramanian shot back, “Either we can quash the subpoenas, or you could withdraw the subpoenas,” as reported by the [New York] Times’s Michael Grynbaum and Jonah Bromwich."

Community is one of my favourite shows of all time. Loved all 6 seasons and definitely want to see the movie.

However, are you going to make a statement on the whole Pangram "AI Detection" tool? It's extremely concerning for many writers on the platform. It would be helpful to get Fire to take an honest look at it.

The "N word" strikes me as the same as the old days of burlesque where "performers" had to put pasties over their nipples which really just increased the attention. For as often as The Word is tossed about by youth , it's hard to take seriously that someone would be traumatized by hearing it , especially when being subjected to Huckleberry Finn.

But in SF , "father" has become the "F word" replaced by "parent" or "guardian" in official documents and interaction to be "inclusive". The Tyranny of the miniscule minority.
