In Case You Missed It (Law)
Digest for Wednesday March 1, 2023

First, from www.nytimes.com: What to Know About Tucker Carlson’s Rise
Tucker Carlson has cultivated a racist show on Fox News and become one of the most successful and influential cable news hosts. A Times investigation reveals how he has stoked nativist and white fear to create a powerful connection with the former President Donald J. Trump's base. He has also been a driving force in the transformation of Fox News, amplifying inaccurate stories from the far-right fringe and fueling the "brown menace" narrative. Despite dissent from within the network, his show has become a profitable model for Fox.

Next, from 3d.laboratorium.net: Back to the Orifice | The Laboratorium (3d ser.)
Companies are struggling to find a workspace that can accommodate all three modes of work - spontaneous in-person teamwork, virtual worldwide collaboration, and individual productivity. Post-pandemic, many companies are expecting employees to collaborate through virtual meetings, which makes it impossible for the workspace to also be suitable for individual productivity. Meta has created acoustic barriers between desks in an attempt to make the workspace support all three modes of work, but this effort is ironic given that traditional offices already provide the perfect environment for individual productivity.

Finally, from www.scifinow.co.uk: A Second Chance for Yesterday: Cover reveal and sneak peek of upcoming time-travel tale
Nev Bourne is a programmer for an invention (SavePoint) that rewinds embarrassing moments in time. When she tests out the invention, she finds herself falling backwards in time.

Sinn and will be released this August.

Today's paper of the day is Major Questions and an Emergency Question Doctrine: The Biden Student Debt Case Study of Pretextual Abuse of Emergency Powers by Jed Handelsman Shugerman. This article proposes a solution, through the Biden Student Debt Waiver as a case study, for the Imperial Executive problem. The solution, an "emergency question" doctrine, focuses on whether the means fit the emergency ends as a test of pretextual abuse and overbreadth. It follows the two most important steps of the major questions approach and suggests that this solution has already been emerging from the recent Major Questions cases.
