Presumably themselves, with Google or AI support? Doing this pro se usually means (as Matt suggested) attorneys all told them this case was unwinnable.

I had seen some recent reporting that the rumors were part of the reason he was looking to fire.

Secretary Noem's new job will be on a hill. Overlooking a little river. With pine cones all around.

This is amazing; am watching on C-SPAN3. If she had a staff member who liked her, that person would've walked up to her 15 minutes ago to whisper in her ear to get out of there.

But no one is protecting her. Any one of these attendees can break the news to her on live tv.

I remember there being a Twitter thread once about Gen X shibboleths and I always thought how someone would respond to Mekka Lekka Hi Mekka Heinie Ho would be considerably revealing.

One way to understand the new world is that on the official roster page, in addition to links to each player's Twitter and Insta accounts there's also a list of prior schools attended and a link to contact each player with NIL opportunities. owlsports.com/sports/mens-...

If there were a Lionel Simmons at Southern today, he transfers by his junior year to a more prominent program and is recruited nationallyβ€”if he hadn't already been flagged via AAU etc.

Even if Temple still had a John Chaney, the kids are going to want to monetize their talents. It makes sense.

It's nice to see a deep dive into "why have the programs fallen" instead of just "boo Villanova and Temple for moving games from the Palestra," because both do matter.

It's hard RN to see LaSalle enduring at all, let alone as a basketball hub in a NIL universe.

The late Jon Lovitz

There was a recurring gag at the 40th anniversary show about his passing.

President Reagan, Mastermind - SNL
YouTube video by Saturday Night Live President Reagan, Mastermind - SNL

Is there a reason why SNL can't just redo the Reagan Mastermind sketch with Trump and Iran right now while *barely* changing the dialogue?

[If only Jon Lovitz were still around to reprise his role.]

Former Bucks County man who voted twice for Trump convicted of voter fraud Matthew Laiss claimed he was covered by pardons given by President Donald Trump to supporters who tried to overturn the 2020 election.

PA VOTER FRAUD PROVEN only it's a Trump supporter who voted by mail in Bucks County *and* in person in Florida (after moving) in the 2020 presidential election.

Matthew Laiss had unsuccessfully argued that Trump's pardon of persons accused of fraud around presidential electors covered him too.

There is so much to say about this. One heartening change to the show is how it's eliminated person-on-person strength/violence challenges and shifted to things involving balance, patience, puzzle-solving, etc.

I also think even pre-New Era they've improved on highlighting women for strategy.

That's not true. But Mike Brady took the whole family to Hawaii not to supervise a construction project, or for Greg to attempt competitive surfing, or for the kids to learn the lore about enchanted tiki dolls, but just to avoid an interview with Chotiner.

Blessing v Freestone on January 6, 1997, case dealing with private rights of action under Section 1983. I worked on an amicus brief as part of my law school clinic work.

Case was argued for our side by Marsha Berzon and Patricia Millett which, in retrospect, wow.

I've watched the first episode of TOP CHEF: REALLY, THE CAROLINAS? on Peacock, and my reactions are (1) really, the Carolinas?, and (2) there are episodes which are heavy-handed and obvious as to who's going home, and there are ones which are designed as shockers, and this is one of those two.

That’s not true, but James Garfield rejected Charles Guiteau for a presidential appointment knowing it would ultimately lead to his assassination to avoid an interview with Chotiner

Today is the 16th (oops above) day of the 22-day cycle during which candidates for major party nomination in PA can gather signatures to qualify for the ballot.

Each day I'll share a bad one: today, just an insane kitchen table job by a 2022 congressional candidate. The rotation of authors is, wow.

It's a stealth remake of DELIVER ME FROM NOWHERE. Jabba's abusive parenting leads to years of repressed trauma for Rotta, who is uncomfortable with fame, channeling that depression into a series of moody lo-fi acoustic songs about serial killers in Mos Eisley and desperate strivers on Tatooine.
