some folks really need to ask themselves if it's more important

1) for other people to know they've been right for a very long time
or
2) to save the country

I wrote my take-home final for Law of War at 4 a.m., still half-drunk. It was due at 9 a.m. I got a B, which was my school's equivalent of taking you behind the barn and shooting you. It dropped my honors one level. My father was perturbed.

a young boy wearing glasses and suspenders says ovaltine ? ALT: a young boy wearing glasses and suspenders says ovaltine ?

I mailed in my Antifa membership application along with the requisite number of box tops, but all I got was a spy decoder ring that says "Be sure to drink your Ovaltine"!

This is true, though. Trump is transforming this country into a shittier one.

Abolish. Fire. Prosecute.

just keep trotting this little greasy smarmy loser out as much as you can.

Saw some post somewhere earlier about people “not getting” transness or whatever

You don’t have to get it.

If you believe in bodily autonomy for all, then no one needs you to understand their personal situation to earn being seen as a person by you.

You just treat every human being as a person.

you! are! a! lawyer!

I fear that the legal community will act like Trump admin's lawyers are normal lawyers--like they'll get nice firm jobs and their law schools will invite them to talk to students, etc--but the lawyers facilitating Trump's lawlessness should be professionally and socially shamed

Hard to tell.

New Nightmare was so meta, I loved it.

The media's inability to grasp that diehard MAGA chuds top out at 30% of the electorate (and that's including "GOP no matter who" dead enders) is just one of they many ways they've failed to live up to their obligations.

Virgo: This is the week to follow your dreams. When the clown beckons, go with him to the stream of blood. Your second grade teacher is waiting to roughly bathe you until you dissolve and become mist.

Teaching Mapp v. Ohio this week, it struck me that ICE raids (& its administrative warrants) are like writs of assistance; the very thing that inspired the fourth amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

One first step people should do to respond to this is start using the “report a speed trap” function in Apple Maps to report where ICE is operating. Make Apple party to the attempt to protect people.

We just built a NEW tech tool that *any current or former tenant* in the entire country can use for free — it will generate a legal letter for you that reports to collections agencies, credit bureaus and regulatory agencies.

Once again, the heads of every foreign intelligence service throughout the world must all be nearing death from exhaustion after the overstimulation of the pleasure centers of their brains for the past 9 months

… there’s a lot to unpack here but WHY WAS THAT IMPORTANT ENOUGH TO PUT IN THE NUT GRAF?

Not for me, "AI" aimed at consumers has very little offer anyone who actually does at a professional level the creative things it mimics. I write better than an LLM, an artist does better art than an image generator, a musician makes better music than an "AI" music tool.

The "AI" responses that Google gives about me and my work are consistently error-prone, which I know because I am me. If I know Google's "AI" responses give incorrect answers about things I know about, I can't trust it to give correct answers about things I don't know. So, no, I don't use it.

The Border Patrol & ICE are our closest offspring of the slave patrols. The Border Patrol celebrates Jeff Milton each yr. 1st agent. Name was actually Jefferson Davis Milton for the pres of the Confederacy. His family owned over 52 slaves. They celebrate him on CBP.com.

That is amazing.

AND then blame the other side, the one with no power!

Federal government shutdown! Maybe it'll improve some things. 🤷

OFF the cross, autocorrect. Sheesh.

Adam is insufferable. Get down on the cross, my guy, someone needs the wood. #EastOfEden #TCMParty

And now for today's good news ... a wonderful librarian now has a full time job getting people excited about books. All kinds of books. Even the diverse ones that the government doesn't want you to read.

“Health care for illegal aliens” is the new “immigrants are eating cats and dogs in Springfield.”

The Republican playbook is simple: make up a baseless lie, repeat it every chance you get, hope and pray that everyone blames Democrats for the crises you created.

well that thought is not going to help me sleep tonight tbh
