If Jeb did this,
I would want very badly to vote for him.
Vox has a list of five times that network executives were right to clip creative wings. The only one I disagree with is Jack on Lost. I think the series would have been better without him.

Amiga Computers turns 30. For those of you two young to remember, in technological terms the Amiga was the iPhone of personal computing. I remember seeing them long past their prime, in the mid-90’s, and they still blew Windows and Macs out of the water.

Cracked looks at suicide in the Age of Twitter.
So here’s the thing… while such a relationship is entirely and utterly inappropriate, and the man should never be able to teach again, if the young lady is willing to marry the guy in order not to testify against him, I can’t say I am in favor of trying to prosecute him whether they can make a case without her testimony or no.
Good news in Mexico? Murders are declining. Bad news in Mexico, the economy is struggling. The two were supposed to be connected.
Driverless cares are, really, only the beginning.

The bias article was interesting, if not surprising. Well, the lesser conservative bias was surprising.
About the guy marrying his former student, I’m not quite on board with saying her decision to marry him should by itself be sufficient to protect him from prosecution. It probably should be considered, but I wouldn’t want that to be sole factor in the decision not to prosecute. (I’m leaving aside the issue about the state not being able to compel testimony from spouses and assuming the state could make its case without her testimony.)
Regarding Mexico, I would not be surprised if the economy and the murders declining are connected, as I I wouldn’t be surprised on how much northern Mexico relied on the drugs trade for its economy.
Is the drug trade down? I figured that the violence or lack of it is more a product of competing suppliers rather than strictly related to volume.
I have no idea, I was mostly speculating on how much money it brings in to the traffickers, and what they do with the money. The murders are symptomatic of Drug cartels in general and power change in specific. And if Mexico is severely cracking down on activities, that would put money into hiding.
I view the murders as more symptomatic of conflict between the cartels than cartel commercial activity, if that makes sense.
I think the current president has taken a more hands off approach.
