DOJ's recent 6th Circuit filing misspelled:

Voters as “Votors”
Emergency as "Emeregency"
United States as "United Staes"

And, it included a non-party in the caption.

These are the people who want access to your sensitive voting records and who my team fights in court every day.

Markwayne Mullin just did a Fox News hit in which he repeatedly praised "President Hegseth" and then said the president can ask Congress to declare war "on Iraq"

I don't care if Congress authorizes War on Iran. NO WAR ON IRAN. I want people to fucking reclaim their morality.

Exclusive | Trump Administration to Drop Defense of Law Firm Sanctions The Justice Dept. plans to abandon its defense of the president’s executive orders that targeted Jenner & Block, WilmerHale, Perkins Coie, and Susman Godfrey.

WHOA: WSJ reporting that DOJ is dropping its appeals of the four law firm executive order rulings as soon as today. www.wsj.com/us-news/law/...

To reconsider a fundamental of American history, the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor was not an act of war, but merely a strategic strike. It needs to no longer live in infamy, perhaps.

Markwayne Mullin: "It's up to the Iraqi people -- I'm sorry, the Iranian people -- to choose their next leader"

Text on an academic article about "Moving Things: Moving Cartloads of Treasures from Venice to Ethiopia, ca. 1400" pasted into Grammarly in a Browser. It offers to invoke the digital ghosts of David Abulafia, Barry Flood and Chris Wickham to give me "expert feedback".

Using Grammarly for the first time in forever ... WHAT?

As a non-native speaker writing primarily in English, I used to use it to check prepositions, point out too long/convoluted sentences etc.

It now offers to summon colleagues both living and dead to "expert review" the piece???

What?

A scanned image of the first page of a legal document on letterhead from Ken Paxton, Attorney General of Texas, dated February 27, 2026. It is labeled "Opinion No. KP-0518" and addressed to Mr. Darrel D. Spinks, Executive Director of the Texas Behavioral Health Executive Council. A portion of the first paragraph is highlighted in yellow, reading: "mental health care providers" licensed by the Texas Behavioral Health Executive Council."

A scanned image of the second page of the Attorney General Opinion document. A section in the first full paragraph is highlighted in yellow, which reads: "[f]or the purpose of transitioning a child’s biological sex as determined by the sex organs, chromosomes, and endogenous profiles of the child or affirming the child’s perception of the child’s sex if that perception is inconsistent with the child’s biological sex."

A scanned image of the third page of the Attorney General Opinion document. The text discusses various statutory and dictionary definitions of the terms "health care provider" and "health care". There are no highlighted sections on this page.

A scanned image of the seventh and final page of the Attorney General Opinion document, showing the "SUMMARY" section and the signature block for Ken Paxton. The entire summary paragraph is highlighted in yellow, reading: "The definition of a “health care provider” in subsection 161.701(2) of the Health and Safety Code unambiguously encompasses the professions regulated by the Texas Behavioral Health Executive Council. Any licensee that facilitates the provision of unlawful procedures or treatments that aim to transition a child’s sex are thus forbidden from receiving public money in support of those efforts and, separately, risk revocation of their licenses to practice."

Texas AG Ken Paxton has declared that it is illegal for mental health providers and therapists to treat trans youth. It means that trans youth will be denied access to any mental healthcare that isn't conversion therapy. Paxton also threatens parents of trans youth with child abuse investigations.

whoa -- this is new. Trump has a significant rash-like injury on his neck today in addition to his disfigured hand

It’s a violation of the Flag Code, actually. Federal law.

People often forget wartime presidents’ preoccupation with White House furnishings. FDR just would not shut up about the goddamn sconces.

Cover for the picture book Puffins! In the foreground, there is a very large Atlantic puffin looking right at you. In the background, lots of smaller puffins are on some rocks by the sea: splashing in the waves, slipping on seaweed, preening, pooping, sleeping. It’s a regular puffin party. The word "puffin" is in the middle of the page, in balloons orange letters.

My new picture book comes out soon! Written by @gianferrari-m.bsky.social (illustrated by me) published by @mackidsbooks.bsky.social ! They let us be very extra and all the orange in the book is NEON.

I am afraid that manga as an industry is going to go through another bust. Sales have flatlined in Japan, so the only growth market they see now is in English language markets.

Publishers are all desperate to push sales there, and are most likely going to flood the market beyond capacity.

Actually yes I am saying that you shouldn’t dehumanize anyone

No exceptions to the rule

for those of you who werent adults during iraq, its hard to overstate how much the media loves war porn. they salivate over pentagon spin briefings. they love stories about all the bombs and how supposedly infallible they are. they love the notion of the commander in chief, in the situation room etc

Medical experiments on prisoners?

Where have we seen this before?

Those three downed jets run around $90 million each.

It cost $20 million a year to operate the food kitchens serving 816,000 people in Sudan.

The gap between how cool he thinks he sounds and how he actually sounds would take light eight centuries to traverse.

Always reskeet

I would destroy you if I weren’t so tired shows a not angry just knackered squid god monster hanging over a village he can’t be arsed to vanquish

Talk of Lovecraft this morning reminds me my pictures were once described as “whimsically Eldritchian” by Will Self I’m joking it was by “some guy”

Came here to say this.

Absolutely incredible.

Thank you!

Thanks!

I love you.
