I guess we will soon see if “don’t use unsafe thing to do unsafe things” is a sound legal defense.

Is it really necessary for writers to hit Q4 every year, saddle up to social media and start with the ritualistic “hear my tale of woe about how good my work is and how broke I am” where is this getting anyone
