How Pixar’s Open Sexism Ruined My Dream Job (Guest Column) A former Pixar employee writes that after John Lasseter's departure, the company still has a lot of work to do to fix its sexist culture.

If you're wondering how bad things were at Pixar for women, the answer is pretty horrifyingly bad.

That’s just maddening. @matthewtbodie.bsky.social and I wrote a book critiquing the law-and-econ arguments for the core features of shareholder primacy, and did so taking the standard precepts of economics and social choice theory as given.

Our agreement with the Department of War Details on OpenAI’s contract with the Department of War, outlining safety red lines, legal protections, and how AI systems will be deployed in classified environments.

These are NOT meaningful redlines. For example it only prohibits autonomous weapons β€œ in any case where law, regulation, or Department policy requires human control.” But the relevant safeguard against autonomous weapons is a DOD directive that Hegseth can change at will! openai.com/index/our-ag...

Hey thanks. There’s a lot of B-school/management writing about corporate bureaucracy that is largely ignored by the legal academy; thinking especially of Sanford Jacoby’s work.

The President boasts of "no tax on tips", but this expires in 2028.
He boasts of "no tax on overtime," but it is taxed, and the break expires in 2028.
He boasts of "no tax on social security," but it is taxed, and his break expires in 2028.

He also passed tax cuts for the rich. They're permanent.

When a lawsuit was filed challenging Minnesota’s ban on captive audience meetings, we got to work defending this pro-worker law. The Court of Appeals dismissed the lawsuit and today, the Supreme Court left that dismissal in place. This is a great day for Minnesota workers.

When you put it like this, a $75 million bribe to Melania and gutting the Washington Post seems like a small price to pay.
