I love the fact that BTS can't get an exemption from Korean military service but the winners of League of Legends tournaments do www.sheepesports.com/en/all/artic...

My first job was programming binary load lifers. They are extremely similar to moisture vaperators.

This is either specific to Biden, in which case it's clearly unconstitutional, or it isn't, in which case the actual victims of weaponization of the government, which pretty much all happened under Trump, should start demanding payments www.cnn.com/2026/05/17/p...

If you aren't terrified, you aren't paying attention. Nope. That's not my optimistic side. I'm going to keep looking.

Even as Jews sought to flee Germany, an extremist faction on the Zionist right lauded the rise of the Nazis and envisioned Ze'ev Jabotinsky as the 'Hebrew Duce.' You can't understand Likud without knowing about Jabotinsky, yet few Americans know his name or anything about him.

Cool new technology www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...

the overwhelming message the AI industry has sent to young people is “this will ruin any chance you have at a stable career”, of course college grads are booing it regardless of the reality of the claims, the way this technology has been sold is one of the greatest self-inflicted PR disasters ever

"Especially over the last 15 years, the Court's corrupt majority has more & more openly adopted the stance that you have a powerful presidency for Republicans & a weak one for Dems. They won’t allow Dems to enjoy the fruits of political power when they win it, & that’s just an untenable situation."

Nothing to see here. Just the mentally addled president of a nuclear superpower posting images of himself nuking the world. Republicans, you have so much to answer for  static-assets-1.truthsocial.com/tmtg:prime-t...

"We're being told to use [AI] agents for broad changes across our codebase. There's no way to evaluate whether that much code is well-written or secure—especially when hundreds of other programmers in the company are doing the same ... We're building a rat's nest of tech debt[.]"

Great graph from Dennis Crouch showing how the Trump administration has decimated IPRs, and how ex parte reexams have taken their place -- at least until last month, when they set out to kill ex parte reexams too patentlyo.com/patent/2026/...

@caseynewton.bsky.social: "Trump officials are now in the nonsensical position of trying to help agencies get around the legal roadblock they themselves set up to stop them from using Anthropic’s models." www.platformer.news/trump-admini...

Wow news.bloomberglaw.com/product/blaw...

Maybe the investigation in Virginia is justified, but at this point, DOJ has lost public confidence that it is capable of operating in a nonpartisan manner. It comes the day after an investigation into a prominent Trump supporter was dropped. www.newschannel5.com/news/newscha...

Can we just admit at this point that the Trump Administration just hates black women in public life? Can we?

I'm not sure anyone will ever trust the US again www.theguardian.com/global-devel...

You can coincidentally reverse a reconciliation bill, with another reconciliation. If I was a fighting Democrat, I would be like fine, we are not voting for these agenices through regular order. The Republicans can own this stinking carcass of an agency.

i mean i got some doge scoops & it was such a pleasure to shine a light on how things reaallllly worked when powers that be wanted to hide it but wired was IT. man. it makes me want to start my own awards / foundation how much gets ignored or at best under credited

There isn't any plausible legal justification for this. This is Calvinball at its worst. The Supreme Court majority just ignores its own rules whenever doing so benefits its favored parties

Great post by @rickhasen.bsky.social on tonight's order in Callais. Hard to overstate the massive impact of the Court's original decision in Callais and now this order on its diminishing legitimacy as an institution.

This really is the dumbest timeline www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

So also: The First Rule of Judicial Calvinball.

As my colleague David Rosnick puts it: the Roberts Court is just calling the balls and strikes. The problem is that they do it before the pitch is thrown.

I also seem to remember some disparity in how soon before an election Congress decided it was okay to confirm a Supreme Court justice. Just a tiny one …

Also seem to remember some of these same states using unconstitutional maps for the last midterm because of a time crunch?

Anyone remember the Purcell doctrine, saying courts shouldn't change electoral districts too close to the election because it might cause confusion? Remember how SCOTUS applied it six months ago to say it was already too late to invalidate the Texas districts? Funny how that didn't happen in Callais

A big win in the 10th Circuit for documentary filmmakers and fair use. And our amicus brief, led by @prmalone.bsky.social played a major role in persuading the court to reverse a bad decision two years ago. Also great to see citations to the new Restatement www.ca10.uscourts.gov/sites/ca10/f...

“The world is being ravaged by a handful of tyrants, yet it is held together by a multitude of supportive brothers and sisters,” Leo said in a speech during a visit to Cameroon’s largest city, Bamenda, on Thursday. Putin, Trump, Netanyahu... this means you. www.wthitv.com/news/pope-wa...

No. Just no. www.404media.co/email/f20bb2...

I mean, among other things, this does really illustrate the anti-democratic absurdity of the idea that the state legislature can set the rules of the electoral system to achieve particular political ends

🚨BREAKING: Newly obtained documents show a clear paper trail of Trump administration officials planning to share sensitive voter data with an outside political group trying to overturn elections, as part of a secret agreement. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

This👇🏽 deserves to be posted 100 times but I’d be labeled spam.

Everybody, absolutely everybody, saw Callais coming. It’s the logical outgrowth of a successful effort to gut the Voting Rights Act that spans decades, predicated upon a myopic understanding of racial discrimination and an antebellum conception of federalism. That doesn’t make this any easier.

The Republican approach to helping ordinary people struggling with the cost of living: Even less taxes on stock gains by the (mostly) rich! www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

The Supreme Court effectively invalidated the Voting Rights Act of 1965 (though it pretended not to eliminate it altogether). In the minds of the Court majority, it's not race discrimination if you just gerrymander to favor Republicans who all happen to be white www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

Let's be clear: this is the dumbest criminal prosecution ever brought. And with Trump in office that's saying something. Apparently saying Trump needs to leave office is now a criminal threat www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...
