Didn't take long for the court to explain to the lawyers how motions work.

Looks like L.A. City Attorney Hydee Feldstein Soto will have at least one opponent in 2026: Marissa Roy, who currently works for State A.G. Rob Bonta as a deputy attorney general.

Roy, who handles consumer protection cases, filed paperwork with the state creating her campaign committee

Sixth Circuit Net Neutrality decision is out: www.opn.ca6.uscourts.gov/opinions.pdf...

Still digesting the reasoning, but the conclusion is bad: court holds that broadband internet access services are unambiguously Title I, and vacates all the net neutrality rules.

Screenshot of thumbnail of Nobody Speak music video.

Reminds me of video for Nobody Speak by DJ Shadow/Run the Jewels. It's chock full of profanity so I'm gonna let folks google it if they want to see/hear it.

Dear Jeff Bezos: The ‘Hard Truth’ Is That Cowardice Like Yours Is Why People Don’t Trust The Media Hey Jeff, Since I know you’ll never actually read this, I figured the best way to set this up as an open letter. One that you should read, but never will. It appears that your stupendously cowardly…

I have a new project. I call it the "Brooklyn Bridge." It will be available before 2027. In the meantime, check this out.

OMG yes thank you for saying it.

WAITER: did I mention the responsibility is also great?
