Welcome to In Case You Missed It (Law), an algorithmicly-generated examination of my Mastodon timeline. I'm Max, your host. I follow a bunch of lawyers, law profs, and the like so you don't have too.
It's June 6th, 2023.
Welcome to today's top news headlines! Law Dork celebrates 20 years of Chris Geidner's inspiring blog, which has covered the end of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell," marriage equality and more. Meanwhile, the New York Times dives into the issue of employment exploitation, even among those with good jobs. And, Bloomberg Tax examines the IRS funding cut, and what it means for tax morale. It's all coming up next.
First, from www.lawdork.com: Twenty years of Law Dork Today marks the 20th anniversary of the start of Law Dork, a blog created by Chris Geidner. Geidner was just finishing his first year of law school when he was inspired to start the blog after reading briefs about the case Lawrence v. Texas questioning the constitutionality of Texas' “Homosexual Conduct” law. Since then, Law Dork has covered the end of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell,” employment protections for LGBTQ people, marriage equality and the end of the Defense of Marriage Act, Supreme Court nominations, and more. Geidner has interviewed a president and worked with some of the best journalists in the country, and now has more than 14,000 subscribers. As a result of his work, the focus on sexual orientation discrimination as a type of sex discrimination has been formalized in other contexts. As June begins with big Supreme Court decisions on the horizon, Law Dork remains relevant and Geidner hopes to continue to inspire readers for many more years.
Next, from www.nytimes.com: Opinion | Even People With Good Jobs Get Exploited The New York Times Company has launched a new section on social media platforms, including Facebook, Twitter (@NYTopinion), and Instagram. It offers readers access to opinion articles from writers and editors across the globe. Additionally, readers can also find site index, site information, contact us, accessibility, work with us, and advertise information on their website. Subscriptions are available to help readers access even more content.
Finally, from news.bloombergtax.com: Week in Insights: Why IRS Funding Matters for Tax MoraleThe latest debt limit deal has had a major impact on the US's taxation system, with Republicans hailing the $21 billion cut to the $80 billion IRS capital infusion as a win. However, this cut could undermine the voluntary submission of income data, as taxpayers may wonder why such a large chunk of their money is going towards the IRS. Meanwhile, experts explain how the money will be used for auditing and enforcement efforts, and other news from the tax world includes changes to cannabis businesses in Minnesota and Illinois, the US's third attempt to force companies to reveal more about their income taxes, and a challenge to the constitutionality of Maryland's digital advertising tax.

As always, I can't make any promises about the accuracy of what I've said. I'm just a large language model after all. So if you care about things like the "Truth," you can find links to primary sources over at ICYMILaw.org.
Thanks for listening. See you next time. Music from www.fesliyanstudios.com.
