Gray Kimbrough

The first hearing isn't scheduled for another 2.5 weeks but it already has a lot: 242 documents and counting, motions from the plaintiff for every defendant to be found in default, half-assed motions from the DC AG that misspell a defendant's name and give the wrong date...

Watchers of crazy court cases may be interested to hear that Kimberlynn Jurkowski, the DCPS librarian who lost her job for (allegedly) leading an elementary school class through a re-enactment of the Holocaust in 2021, has sued 32 defendants alleging a wide-ranging conspiracy against her.

It looks like @brendanvduke.bsky.social can add "noted WSJ Wife Guy" to his bio.

Our grasp on reality is slipping. The response rate to the survey behind the unemployment rate (and the rest of the household survey) is now lower than during the pandemic.

The decline in response rates during the first year of the Trump Admin 2.0 was larger than at any time outside the pandemic.

I'm over here ruining the pairs figure skating by doing the math from the opening graphics and noting how many pairs formed when the man was an adult and the woman was not 18.

It seems like a pretty basic rule that no training should suggest that employees speaking to customers say that suicide is "one option." www.govexec.com/management/2...

I needed a marriage certificate from DC and made a point to collect it in person because the Marriage Bureau is such a lovely place to stop by.

Is there already a Discourse around how Bad Bunny did a Turn Down For What, or do I need to start one?

I did not expect to be so affected by a throwaway illustration of a toxic relationship as a cactus that keeps pricking you when you try to reach out to it, but here we are.

Top tier public testimony here, and a stark reminder that we are all responsible for what is done in our names.

I could actually be a little more precise: the gaming activity code in the 2024 codebook explicitly includes "playing computer games," but doesn't actually mention videogames.

It also explicitly includes some potential gambling activities like poker and bingo.

I suspect that ATUS gaming time includes a lot of gambling. There is a code for "playing games" under Relaxing and Leisure for all games, with specific examples including video games, poker and bingo. There's a separate gambling activity code under Arts and Entertainment, but I haven't looked at it.

Taking advantage of a rare opportunity to work from home with this kitten in my lap.

What's happening in Minnesota is one reason the Reconstruction Amendments banned insurrectionists from holding office. Unfortunately, the originalists on the Supreme Court interpreted the plain language of the amendment to mean its opposite.

I recently learned that swaddling cloths for cats exist. This one definitely makes it easier to clip the kitten's nails!

If I'm being honest, the collapse of the post-Cold War international order and the violent occupation of an American city are making it difficult for me to concentrate on housing policy.

This adorable kitten is glad that we're back from our weekend trip.

I agree with your point here, but I also think that the way many Dems are insisting that this is the *only* issue they will discuss is bad politics. Politicians just don't have that much power over prices, so when they fail to bring them down they'll have nothing else to point to.

I'm not so sure about that AI overview.

It's so awful over there. No reason for anyone serious to engage with the awful people dominating the discussion there.

She's still not from Greenland though

...and then that happened.

Don't look into FIFA too much

What I don't understand is why the ref lost control of the situation before that? It seemed like everyone was standing around for ages after the call before they walked off.
