New paper: every law in America is technically public. But not really, until now!

With @DenisPeskoff at UC Berkeley, we built a corpus of ~every publicly accessibly city and county law, and released a huge chunk of it!

2.2 million laws, you're (probably) covered in it!

A movie set brought them together. Love made them stay.

When Amin Hajee met Charlotte during the shooting of Lagaan, few believed their cross-cultural romance would last. But 25 years later, they’ve built a beautiful life filled with love, adventure, and two daughters.

Their story is a reminder that lasting relationships aren't built on similarities alone—but on trust, respect, and choosing each other every single day. ❤️
