YES, TITLE VII DISPARATE IMPACT LIABILITY IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL: The Office of Legal Counsel’s 25-page opinion is important. It’s a breakthrough on an issue I’ve been working on for a long time. But … uh … what’s really important is that it cites me seven times. Purr. Josh Blackman has a short summary here.

STEVEN CALABRESI: Remembering Gordon Wood. “Gordon Wood was a towering scholar in every way. He was the best historian of the American Revolution and of the writing of the Constitution and, in general, of the period from 1760 to 1826, of all time. No-one else in the 237 years since the Constitution went into effect even comes close.”

NOTHING TO SEE HERE, MOVE ALONG: One day after discovery, Meta pulls facial recognition code from its smart glasses.
One day after WIRED revealed that Meta had quietly embedded an unreleased face-recognition system into an app installed on more than 50 million phones, the company removed it, according to a WIRED analysis of the latest version’s code.
The most recent version of Meta AI, a companion app for its line of smart glasses, strips out the unactivated software components that powered the system Meta internally called NameTag. The version published the day of WIRED’s report included several code libraries explicitly named for face recognition. Friday’s release includes none of them.
Andy Stone, Meta’s vice president of communications, told WIRED on Monday that the feature is purely exploratory, adding: “No final decision has been made on what to do here, if anything.”
Take off and nuke the entire code from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure.
HE’S AN EMPTY VESSEL, LIKE MOST DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATES:
Platner's many controversies have probably obscured the fact that most of what he says is vacuous sloganeering and gibberish. I listened to a number of his interviews and speeches; and he's never wandered in the vicinity of an original insighthttps://t.co/pFKtGzWZGu

Gooder and harder, California.
ANALYSIS: TRUE. Britain should be kicked out of NATO until it mends its ways.
Black Dumpling gets at the heart of the matter. The United Kingdom is under the boot of full-on tyranny.
