"You can call it a lot of things: right-wing radicalism, dictator envy, anti-democratic theocracy. “Conservative” has never been more of a misnomer. The Republicans are conserving nothing: not due process, not precedent, and certainly not the truth.".

Depending on the mood, I either just code a simple file myself, or run a CLI agent and tell it to make a note. This also lets me avoid tabs pile up in the browser, letting me digest info at a manageable rate. Next, I should make a background agent to bring up stuff over time.

Vaguely remember the first time I came across the (+1 - 1) trick in Sola's AL maths class. Hadn't thought of a practical application. Didn't even know it has a name until recently (learned from this OP, in May). Amusing! And the practical use is immediately clear.
Behold one of the mightiest tools in mathematics: the camel principle. I am dead serious. Deep down, this tiny rule is the cog in many methods. Ones that you use every day. Here is what it is, how it works, and why it is essential.

A private attorney can take on or decline cases based on moral, strategic, or practical reasons. Playing the devil's advocate is a choice. And that choice is open to criticism, just as it is open to defense.
Ex-Bar Association chief Saliya Pieris @saliyapieris faces backlash for defending Dr. Maheshi Wijerathne, accused of surgery on brain-dead patients for cash. Peiris, once seen as a just cause defender, was even considered a potential PM during the 2022 uprising that toppled GR.
