Look at that Rick Neuheisel card!

My alma mater, The University of Chicago Law School, has issued an new strategy statement for "ensuring that we teach our students to think with, without, and about AI." Would love to know how BlueSky Lawyers & LawProfs view this new policy. www.law.uchicago.edu/news/ai-stra...

"AMERICAN CITIZENSHIP IS NOT FOR SALE" unless... it's the "Trump Gold Card" and then pull out your checkbook...

Fog is a big issue downtown Chicago this evening. The Hancock just before the entire lakefront got consumed with the puffy stuff.

Is this Heaven? It’s Chicago. Fog rolls into the South Loop on Saturday evening at sunset.

As a Watergate historian, this might be the dumbest and worst take we’ve seen from JD Vance in a long time. And it’s also a complete misunderstanding of Nixon and Watergate.

Kagan makes sure that Trump’s gutter racism — and the majority hand-waiving it away — gets into the record.

Trump and his allies lambasted Obama’s Iran nuclear deal for a decade. Yet their proposed deal is objectively weaker than the JCPOA: fewer conditions, more money for Iran, and less nuclear oversight. My @morningjoe-msnow.bsky.social Chart

"I have instructed the DOJ..." used to be a scandal worthy of impeachment. Now it's a daily thing, a whiff of historic moral rot.

The FCC is trying to suppress TV interviews with political candidates it doesn't like, starting with The View. This is part of the greatest jawboning effort in American history. It is wildly unconstitutional, as @TechFreedom's comments explain techfreedom.org/fcc-should-g...

The extent of Trump's destruction of Washington, D.C., is truly stunning. It's the ultimate metaphor. The algae-infested Reflecting Pool. The destroyed grass from the UFC event. The bulldozed East Wing grounds. "86 47" etched into the lawn near the Reflecting Pool. REUTERS/Aaron Schwartz

I can understand getting embarrassed by Iran but how did he let himself get humiliated by a reflecting pool?

RIP Mark Rothko. You would have loved how the hydrogen peroxide bleach is only turning the Reflecting Pool blue around the perimeter

The Dept of Interior claims that the algae in the reflecting pool is left over from rarely used pipes No. Painting the pool dark blue means that it absorbs heat much faster than if it were a light color. Warmer = faster algae growth That's why you don't see black swimming pools Science!

If you're hosting an international sporting event, you should be required to actually host all of the competitors. This isn't hard.

Actually and in all seriousness, painting the bottom of the pool a dark color causes the pool to retain solar heat, raising the temperature of the water, thus making it more hospitable to algae.

That's cool. Constitution has no meaning. My career is a lie

Trump: "Qatar is the closest to Iran, physically. With other countries, I noticed they had to travel about 45 minutes to get there. With you, you could walk right across the border." There's no land border between Iran and Qatar. They're separated by the Persian Gulf.

Trump will be able claim credit for giving the Iranian Regime over 176 times more cash than Obama
