"In a ruling Monday, U.S. District Judge Beryl A. Howell held that placing a copyrighted work on a public docket doesn't end the owner's rights to it" and that they "weren't entitled to copy and refile it wholesale in their own cases without permission."

I love this. La Monf is my favorite player of all time.

happy 9th anniversary to the day we watched Zendaya fall madly in love with Tom Holland in real-time

Bodybuilding/strength training was one of the most empowering journeys of my life, honestly. I've slimmed down a little bit now, thanks to grief (ugh), and have increased Muay Thai training. But being strong and jacked for its own sake is fun AF.

This is EXCELLENT

This framing, from the article, is maddening: “If you’re a young man looking at the situation, you don’t see in the future that you’re going to need to be responsible for a family….

Terribly sad news. Prof Syverud was my civil procedure prof in law school. An amazing professor and a profoundly decent man. Wishing him and his family all the best

It’s infuriating when a woman comes forward about a man raping her in his hotel room after drinking and the response is “Why would she go to his room?” “Why would she drink with him?” This is Mike Pence logic. Women should be allowed to hang out with men without expecting they will be raped.

Gardening and camping. I would like to be the kind of person who is into these things, but they both strike me (in their own way) as miserable activities. But I enjoy hearing and reading about others' gardening and camping adventures!

Update your go bags, California

What mental gymnastics are the flat earthers engaging in around the images coming from the Artemis II livestream right now, I wonder. Golly but it's a gorgeous view

Really weird to be a Gen Xer who lived throug the Rs' moral panic and social stigma of teen pregnancy in the 80s only for their open and unapologetic position now to be that teens should be pumping out more babies, by force of law if necessary

Coffee and Nutella are both vile

Making happy hour plans with a friend like a normal one #GoBlue

Great game by UConn. There was never a moment when it felt like Michigan had it in the bag. They had to battle and scrap for every point. What an incredible, physical game cc @cseguin03.bsky.social

That game took YEARS off my life

Bubba has emerged from the football offseason for this game #GoBlue

Yes your honor we need an adjournment on account of Michigan playing in the championship game and every Wolverine brain cell being directed at Yaxel Lendeborg's left MCL and ankle #GoBlue

Also got this gem from 20 #GoBlue

Text exchange with a friend of mine in Ann Arbor 🤣 #GoBlue

8:37p Pacific: 20 reports that there are already people camped out in line at the bars in Ann Arbor for tomorrow night's game. They have set up a couch on the sidewalk #GoBlue

What a privilege it is to witness firsthand the growth of women’s sports in the U.S. right now 🥹 March 28, 2026: NWSL breaks pro women’s sports record (again) with 63,004 fans April 4, 2026: PWHL breaks pro women’s hockey record with 18,006 fans

STOP ERASING WOMEN'S ACHIEVEMENTS. DAWN STALEY AND THE SOUTH CAROLINA GAMECOCKS SHOWED RESILIENCE AND EXCELLENCE ON THE COURT LAST NIGHT. INSTEAD OF FOCUSING ON A MAN'S MELTDOWN, CELEBRATE BLACK WOMEN LEADING AND WINNING. #NCAAWBB #SOUTHCAROLINA

All right, @cseguin03.bsky.social, IT'S ON #GoBlue

Wow I wasn't expecting that to be such a relaxing game

LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOO #GoBlue

One year later, Shades of Gray continues to stand with (now) over 800 law firms in urging the D.C. Circuit to affirm the striking down of Executive Orders retaliating against law firms for their past representation of clients and causes disfavored by the President. Brief here: bit.ly/4c86tDc

I mean it's gotta be this one

Wore a Michigan jersey down to the gym today, special for my strength coach. I may be safe from the stair workout, but I have a feeling I'm still going to pay for this one way or another

@prmalone.bsky.social and I (plus others at Stanford) have prepared a law professors amicus brief supporting law firms challenging Trump's Executive Orders targeting them. If you are a full-time law professor and would like to see the brief, please email me or DM me and I will send a copy.

I'm not streaming it but I am following the score online: Coco's administering quite the beat down to Karolina. Is she just overpowering her, or what? #MiamiOpen

Strength coach changes up the program every six weeks and this was the week for a new program, leading to this exchange: Strength Coach, explaining an exercise: I see that look on your face. Classic Naomi Me: Which look is that, specifically? SC: Confusion Me: Ah yes. I'm sure you see that one a lot

La vache! What a match by Arthur Fils! #MiamiOpen

Wow love what I'm seeing from Caty McNally so far in this match. Incredible break point there

Geez Louise I go out to practice, lil sauna, stretchy stretch, and I come back to find .... Sebi Korda took out Alcaraz?????? The heck? #MiamiOpen

I've spent my career standing up for women, breaking down stigmas, and prosecuting abusers. I'm not just talk. I went through domestic violence myself, and I raised five daughters. I know how important it is to fight back against assault and abuse.

Are you a married woman who enjoys exercising your constitutional right to vote? This afternoon, Senate Republicans and Trump hope to make it much harder for you. Call your senator and tell them to vote NO on the "SAVE" Act. act.indivisible.org/sign/stop-go...

"Trademark rights arise from use, not registration." Even 20 and Long-Ultra Suffering Husband can recite it by rote (though they die a little inside each time).

Treat yourself to this most excellent thread today. And may you always know where your towel is

This entire thread makes me want to breathe into a paper bag

Anyway, be a wrench. Do every little thing you can to tamper with the plans of fascists. Be a NIMBY bitch about data centers. Stop using ChatGPT. Refuse service to ICE agents.
