If your sworn testimony causes you reputational damage when people see it, the problem is the stuff you, under oath, admit doing to break multiple laws & make a mockery of the compact the US govt had w/its citizens. Repost the snips you saved, friends. We all deserve to know how our govt fails us
I'm sorry that your sworn testimony is causing you reputational damage.
Reputational damage… everyone knows there are no taksies backsies. You can take down the videos, but you can’t unring that bell.
Talk about playing the world’s smallest violin to play the world’s saddest song.

I really don’t think enough is being made of the fact that it’s a three supposedly do-nothing toothless scholarly organizations—the AHA, the MLA, and the ACLS— who are directly responsible for one of the clearest and most damning exposures of this administration’s stupidity and malfeasance.
It's not often you can do something as big as this for your members and for the country. www.mla.org/Resources/Ad...
Worth doing whether or not you think you might be "expert" enough for their metrics. Let THEM waste the time trying to figure out if you're in there or not. And tell them you'll come after them if they add you later.

I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public.
I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are.
1/ Here's what I can share:
Seems a reasonable assumption.
At least Anthropic has to pay a bunch of living writers a bunch of money for having done so. I wish all these companies would get sued into oblivion.
Agreed. Given that they built their models by scraping the IP of tens of thousands of thinkers, writers, and artists, living and dead, I'm not surprised, though the chutzpah of this particular move sure is something.
Yes. But they make the best dioramas
Exactly
Personally, I'd let them have the 2nd half of class outside, if they spent the 1st half hunched over with their right shoulders pressed into the wall, circling the room endlessly while they talked about the story. But only if they could then figure out a way to get outside that felt sneaky.
Even as a cynical scholar of rape culture, I'm shocked that this isn't the headline story on domestic politics everywhere right now. It's just an unfathomable abuse of power, in clear violation of the law.

Or maybe I know that sentence does NOT contain any grammatical or punctuation mistake. And I also know no science writer would claim the calcium in our bones came from the stars, that "a fever brought down will rise again somewhere" is a senseless metaphor, that cold ground doesn't give but is firm.
Talk to me about your best sneakers that you can wear all day & not look like you belong in a gym. I don't want those stupid sambas, which have no real cushioning or arch support. I want your unicorn find: a brand/line not candy-colored but w/all the foot support of a garish, proper athletic shoe.
This is to say: if you're an attorney who's hesitated to take on habeas cases because you think you lack the knowledge, or you're worried about whether you'll really help, I PROMISE you can make a difference. I'm just a dipshit with a 7-year-old laptop and a bad attitude. If I can do it, so can you.
This puts me at 10 people released. I filed my 1st habeas petition 29 days ago. I am an incredibly small-time, nobody lawyer who knew nothing about immigration law the day I submitted that case. I barely know any more today. I had never sued the federal government and now I've beaten them 10 times.
goddamn is this a breath of fresh air after Allred 2024
film people! for teaching purposes, one single good academic article or book chapter exploring the wave of 90s indie cinema as it became industrialized?
At ~$1 billion/day, the US has spent as much on the war in Iran in ten days as the entire FY25 budget for the National Science Foundation ($10 billion).
Trump's FY26 budget request for the agency declined to $3.9 billion, due to a "realignment of resources in a constrained fiscal environment."
Are we still looking for waste, fraud, and abuse? I think I found some.

The Searcher (2020). It's fantastic.
The Searcher. It's so good.
The dog needs a walk and it's sunny and beautiful out (despite being March in MN!), but also I only have 75pp left in this Tana French novel, and it's SO HARD to stop reading.
That's just nuts.
(I love David Austin Roses, which seems to name all its roses after characters from Victorian fiction. Much better life choice.)
