There’s also something especially crazy-making about SCOTUS’s “eagerness to playact a district court” (Kagan) in a *shadow docket* decision that doesn’t really engage with the facts at all. The gap between the professionalism of the district courts and SCOTUS’s arbitrariness couldn’t be more obvious

There are so many things wrong with this ruling, including the total disregard for the clear error standard. But what really gets me is the notion that legislatures can evade judicial review of their maps simply by passing them as close as possible to Election Day

Screenshot of a Google search. The “AI Overview” at the top says “there are no showtimes for a film called ‘Jay Kelly’” near the Landmark Ritz Five in Philadelphia. “There are no prominent movies with that title currently playing or scheduled to be released in the near future.” Immediately below this paragraph is a list of showtimes for the movie Jay Kelly in Philly; the first result is for the Landmark Ritz Five.

Google’s AI function usually makes pretty boring errors, but every so often you get a fascinating one

It’s wild that you can go around saying things that are obviously empirically false, and people will pay to listen to you

Catching up on today’s oral argument and I have to say, I did not expect petitioners to rely quite so heavily on the etymology of “subpoena”

This feels like the kind of nightmare that only the Bay Area of the 2010s and ‘20s could produce—especially because so much of it turns on the unavailability of affordable housing

Yes!! See also presidential immunity: Trump v. U.S. was heavy on adjectives describing a kind of hyper-masculine ideal executive: "vigorous," "energetic," "decisive," "bold," "unhesitating.” What we wound up with is a doddering old man surrounded by scheming viziers

jam em up!

To be clear, I am referring to jamming em up in the courts, through legal means

I would like to propose a new slogan for the Democrats: JAM EM UP

Great job on that “deal,” CBS!

An aide or something came over and awkwardly dragged him out, at which point, I guess, a dream nation released the breath it was holding. 3/3

… you could see him wandering around in the background. As she talked, he fell heavily into a shallow pond in which the reporter had already told us there was a gator. Trump showed no urgency about getting out, and just sort of stood there looking surly & confused as the gator swam toward him. 2/3

Took a late morning nap and dreamed I was watching a live cable news segment taking place at a wildlife preserve. Trump was there talking to a reporter about some new initiative. Then, after the interview ended and the reporter began to speak to the camera directly … 1/3

She *is* tiny, but she was pretty close by 😂

I like the way you think

A wine glass with a little champagne in it is sitting on a table. A black-and-tan miniature poodle mix sits on someone’s lap gazing up at the glass with her tongue slightly sticking out

We toasted with champagne and Lucy didn’t understand why she was not included

(please don’t judge my giant plastic wine glasses)

A stout beagle leans on a white woman’s shoulder, staring at the camera intensely. The woman, who is wearing a blue sweater over a blue button-down and a silver necklace shaped like a flower with a blue topaz in the center, is looking sideways out of frame. Behind them are a couple of Snoopy toys

Poppy and I saw you from across the bar & we dig your vibe

You are correct 😁

An elderly miniature poodle mix sits sideways in a chair, resting his chin on the wooden armrest. He looks sleepy and content. Behind him is a light green bookshelf crammed with books

Best in show

An elderly miniature poodle mix sits on a couch with a folded copy of the New York Review of Books between his paws

Holidays are for catching up on back issues of the NYRB. (I swear I didn’t pose him like this)

I noticed the ”perhaps” too!! Totally out of character

There are little things that ring false, but the dead giveaway comes at “There will be a day when I run low on Energy, it happens to everyone”

Not to distract from the misogyny, which is totally characteristic, but: I think I’ve developed a sixth sense for when one of his handlers writes a post at his request, and I suspect this wasn’t written by him. Ironically enough, I think he might not be cognitively able to write this much anymore
