    To wit: there’s a NY state law that makes it illegal for state officials to help shit-ass states like Texas follow through on legal threats like this within the context of the NY legal system. This is that law working as intended.

    Or more succinctly: lick my taint, Ken Paxton, you fucking imbecilic psychopath.

      You’d think a world-class corporate news organiztion like Associated Press would be able to shoehorn that into the title somehow. And yet.

        It’s literally the second paragraph of the article. You’d think a literate person with time to write inane comments would be able to read the article. And yet.

          We’re gonna do this again?

          Hey! THE HEADLINE and THE BODY OF THE ARTICLE are two different things. Can you grasp the concept?? Does your inanity know no bounds?! Have you, at long last, no sense of decency, sir?!

        What are you talking about???

        In journalism, headlines have always been used to try to entice people into reading the article. Not to give the entire story so that people won’t need to read the article.

        That’s a lot of information the shoe horn into the title when it seems perfectly reasonable just put it in the article itself. That’s what articles are for after all, the context.

          “as per NY law” ?

          four words? none longer than three letters? That’s a lot? Really?

          No.

            Man I don’t think you understand what the point of a title is. It’s not to give you all the information you need. That’s what the article is for.

              Does a title affect people? Just reading one sentence about something “newsworthy”? Do you think titles alone can have an effect on the political nature of a country, or a social group?

              I don’t think you understand what the point of a title is. Or what I’m talking about. Despite it being painfully obvious.
