As I once again prepare to board a flight to Atlanta, I ask God only for the strength to get through Hartsfield Jackson without needing to call an exfiltration team. And lemon pepper wings
What an amazing story! :)
Americans can all rest easy knowing that while this fresh Mideast war may lead to asymmetrical terror attacks throughout the world and on U.S. soil, and household budgets will be strained to a breaking point by doubling the cost of filling a gas tank, the suits at Exxon and Texaco will be just fine.
Maaybe... I know Anthropic is talking about how it has ethics and cares about human rights, but, bottom line, these people took $200 BILLION in contracts with Trump's government and specifically the War Crimes department... and that is just not something *ethical* people would do.

I don't think enough people are paying attention to Anthropic's lawsuit against the DoD. Hegseth wants Terminators, while Anthropic just doesn't want Claude to pull the trigger (probably for liability reasons). Dystopia is already here.

Excellent conversation between @matthew.flux.community and @elienyc.bsky.social on the lies we tell ourselves as lawyers
As intended :)
Snow melted and the suburban animals are like "Yo, put the word out to the humans that we back up."
I’m not opposed to unelected judges making political decisions per se. I just think they should be limited in scope and easily overruled by the elected branches
This was a fun talk. Different from what I usually do.
Speaking of not being "invited back" ... :)
In my best David Attenborough
“Not just any white lady , a Mississippi white lady, perhaps the apex predator of white ladies.”
A white anchor got fired for quoting Snoop Dogg lyrics on air. She claimed reverse discrimination, alleging that a Black reporter could get away with it, while a white one can't.
Evidently, she is unfamilar with the stylings of Ari Melber.
I explain for @contrabandcamp.bsky.social
Happy pub week to my Nation colleague Amy Littlefield! Find Killers of Roe wherever books are sold.

I think I’d go the entire weekend without seeing my 13yo if I wasn’t his only source for chicken nuggets.
And he reacts like a fucking VAMPIRE when I open his curtains.
Probably.
Look man, I hope Talarico can do all he says he can do. I just don't see any evidence that White MAGA Trump voters are *gettable.* So unless Latinos are gonna start voting like Black people, you're still gonna need Black people to win.
Black people: Democrats can't win without 'em but always want to try. :)
I mean, the guy *campaigned* on "electability" to the point that he had to explain that he wasn't trying to use a dog whistle. So... I think it was relevant. :)
You're... welcome? :)

Yeah, this too. :)
In this week’s newsletter, I look forward to “Beto O’Rourke 2” while also explaining why SCOTUS ruled 9-0 to send an immigrant back to a hitman.
I also complain about the modernization of baseball because I’m old.
Christ, this is some stressful shit
Hey, @abovethelaw.com, alert, alert.
I went through a fallow period until my youngest turned 6 and then... wait, you have THREE under 4? Umm... have you considered faking your own death?
I like that game but I don't have friends.
OMG, I really need this workday to end so I can go onto Marathon and get kiled 15 times in half an hour so I can say "I tried it" and then uninstall it and go play Stardew Valley until my blood pressure goes back down.
Let’s make this happen! :)
