"They're going to get on the bandwagon," Dershowitz said of prosecutors. The "approach is to get him before the election, convict him before the election, and he wins on appeal."
"They're all going to raise it," said Eric Segall, a law professor at Georgia State University. "Trump is going to argue that he and all his merry people were simply ensuring the integrity and fairness of federal elections, something they had an obligation to do, and therefore he has immunity."
Segall said the laws protecting federal officials from state prosecution serve an important purpose. Consider, for instance, federal officials working to desegregate the South during the civil rights era being thrown in jail by state officials opposed to those efforts. But Segall stressed that he doesn’t believe the facts of Trump's intervention will warrant immunity.
He saying that's their approach. Ultimately might come down to the Supreme Court which hasn't favored Trump and similar cases so far.
"They're going to get on the bandwagon," Dershowitz said of prosecutors. The "approach is to get him before the election, convict him before the election, and he wins on appeal."
"I predict there'll be some convictions," speculated the lawyer. "I think the strategy is to get bad convictions, but to get them fast," he continued, saying that Trump would then be able to appeal the decisions, after the election. Dershowitz argued that this is the reason prosecutors are "rushing" to get their cases against Trump to trial.
He didn't just say Trump would win on appeal or "He believes there will be convictions but overturned in appeals." He predicting the approach of the prosecutors and said more than this.
The co-creator of the Dragon Age franchise has commented on the reaction to one of Baldur’s Gate 3’s main female characters, saying fans “always treated male characters with more forgiveness”.
People love Morrigan from DA:O and she's pretty much a jackass. Made me want to pull my hair out at times, but there's a charm in that making a bad girl go soft in the end.
We shouldn't just slap or imply a "sexist" label when people don't like a character or not, although there's always going to be a variance.
Is there a good example or reason they say this or are they just guessing?
I definitely think some sort of residuals or compensation for reusing their voice AI should happen if they are profiting off of it.
That being said, I see a world in the very near future where voice actors don't even act out their lines and just say a number of things for recording to train an AI voiced version of themselves. Then directors/creators and just manipulate and use it as they please to create their product.
Some mods in games are getting this already, voiced Morrowind and the like, and I definitely seeing it as a boon. Voice acting has always been a weak point when it came to stuff like that as you can write/script/design the best you can but can lack decent/any voice acting.

Early voting has been reported before, at least from what I have read and seen, to be high. All comes down to election day turnout.
Bolds well as early voting typically favors blue leaning voters, which would mean it would be more likely this proposition fails.
Snyder tried to create something similar on his way out in Michigan, but thankfully failed. Now we have legal marijuana, abortion rights, and expanded voting access/protection.

If a childhood chickenpox vaccination programme was introduced, people would not catch chickenpox as children because the infection would no longer circulate in areas where the majority of children had been vaccinated.
This would leave unvaccinated children susceptible to getting chickenpox as adults, when they're more likely to develop a more severe infection or a secondary complication.
So, basically get chicken pox earlier to build immunity, regardless if it makes you more susceptible to shingles, to better protect you from shingles as an adult. Since it is more likely to hurt you as an adult versus as a kid.
Sill seems fine to still vaccinate as that would lower the amount of chickenpox floating around to begin with...
Both options seem reasonable to me, although I would lean on vaccination still.
