Read a random definition: Pollution

A quick definition of malice exception:

Malice exception is a rule that limits the protection given to public officials from being sued for their actions. If a public official intentionally violates someone's rights, they can be held responsible for their actions. This rule is in place to ensure that public officials do not abuse their power and harm others without consequences. Other types of immunity include diplomatic immunity, judicial immunity, and parental immunity. Immunity means being protected from legal consequences for certain actions or situations.

A more thorough explanation:

Malice exception is a limitation on a public official's qualified immunity. This means that the official can face civil liability for willfully exercising discretion in a way that violates a known or well-established right. For example, if a police officer intentionally violates someone's constitutional rights, they can be held liable for their actions.

One example of malice exception is when a police officer uses excessive force during an arrest. If the officer knew that their actions were violating the person's rights, they can be held liable for their actions. Another example is when a government official intentionally violates someone's freedom of speech or religion.

These examples illustrate how malice exception can hold public officials accountable for their actions. It ensures that they cannot use their position of power to violate people's rights without consequences.

Imagine if election night was run by an adcom? Like, "yep, we could get the results Friday, or June 2025."
imagine if it was like Berkley applications

I have no idea why people have so much beef w berkeley's app
I've been reading a bit about "herding," which is this idea that pollsters are making the race look tied so they look right no matter who wins.

Like... it's a more involved app but you don't have to do it? They're clearly trying to have some self-selection go on
I 100% agree with the self selection, I also am not even close to touching the medians there. However I think the huge PS plus the video and especially the very specific criteria for the why Berkeley essay is pretty crazy
