Thanks to my excellent time management this afternoon, I had my husband drive me to court for four matters that took fewer than 10 minutes.

This thread is genuinely fascinating. There are real consequences to the MSM’s failures to rise to the occasion to confront propaganda and disinformation. And it has a body count.

Me, to husband: "What is the dress for the party tomorrow?" Husband: "Costume party."

I use Austin-based Rev.com for all my meetings and calls so that I can focus on the meeting rather than scribbling notes. It autonames my unscheduled calls perfectly: "Casual Meeting Hijacked for Quick Talk"

Drafting another memo to another CEO explaining why the complicated data security documents -- that he already hired me to prepare -- are essential protection for his business and his investors. Amazon Web Services are not going to protect you, my dude.

"... we have this sort of centre-half left-back dude, marauding around the pitch like some kind of stallion in a horse disco looking to attract the mare of his dreams." A simile almost as lovely as the man himself.

Listening to @liberopodcast.bsky.social: as always, it's fascinating to hear smart writers doing deep dives into history about which i am mostly unaware. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/l.... @rorysmith.bsky.social mentions “the 40-year-old graphic designer” listening. Which is fair.

Let me assure the non-lawyers: that response was not, in fact, as bad as it sounded to you. It was far, far worse.

We synced the peacock video to the Arsenal.com audio, so we got to hear @adrianjclarke.bsky.social on the commentary. It’s so much better.

I remember laughing at the idea that — at some point in the future — we’d get Covid shots the same way we get flu shots. Now, for the second year in a row, I got them at the same time in the same arm. (I had no problems getting them at CVS in Texas.)

Vance's most monumental achievement to date has been being told off by two popes in one year.

Excellent headline.

The Graham LeSaux on the US broadcast is so biased we are switching to Arsenal.com for the second half.

EDDIE NKETIAH'S GREATEST ARSENAL GOAL EVER 🔴

How to develop a unicorn: lots of minutes (hard but not impossible ones), calibrated to skill level, gradually ramping up

Great job, Ekitike. What a goal to celebrate so enthusiastically.

Sure, why not?

Out today: Some friends had rented the Airbnb for 3 days to celebrate a pair of birthdays. There were beers, arepas, and a birthday cake. They were planning to blow out candles and sing the following day. But first there was a massive, militarized multi-agency ICE raid.

As Dortmund head coach, Edin Terzić once told the media their job is easier than his because they get to judge his decisions after the game (and thus knowing the result) whereas he has to make them before the game. I think that's a very fair point and like to remind myself of that regularly.

I enjoy Pep’s Man City pre-match interviews. Off-the-charts performance art.

While we wait, learn about our newest player.

“Head clash duo fit” is definitely my new band name.

My little bear is having some struggles jumping, which is unfortunate as he is a parkour pup and also we live in a house with stairs. Here is him on Monday before he found a tennis ball. We are watching him closely, and also carrying him up and down the stairs and on and off the beds/sofas/etc.

The last political column I was allowed to write in the @washingtonpost.com was a criticism of Obama. His people took issue with my piece, but we were respectful. Now he is tweeting in support of me. This is how free political speech and respect for debate *actually works*. Or used to work.

NEW: Britain’s fiercest libel firm, Carter-Ruck, acted for the $4bn OneCoin fraud and threatened its critics. Now they’re being prosecuted at the SDT. Their response? An anonymity order to cover it up. But Carter-Ruck just lost that order - and it's all coming out. Thread

Me, running into my husband's office: No wonder everyone is so excited about Max Dowman, he's a giant!

There is no better prize than another dog’s tennis ball, abandoned in the park.

The hardest thing about listening to @iainmacintosh.bsky.social ‘s Route One on my mid-morning Teddy walk is pausing/rewinding because I was laughing too much. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/r... This material may be protected by copyright.

Rewatching the highlights: “there’s a bit of pressure on Martinelli… [runs halfway down the pitch, scores] what an introduction!”

I spent this weekend working on a complicated set of technology and privacy documents for a startup client. Data privacy law feels as though it changes daily, but it’s been about six weeks that I have had to read, digest, read more, digest more, and draft and draft more.

An ode to Noni Madueke, and the story we didn't care to tell

After recapping an unusually busy week of September #SCOTUS news, today’s “One First” reflects on the “Gold Clause Cases”—three 1935 rulings that were portrayed in apocalyptic terms at the time, but that, for various reasons, have largely receded from history: www.stevevladeck.com/p/178-the-go...

On loop in my brain: £20, Golden by Huntrix (KPop Demon Hunters), and Big Gabi’s song. The internal mashup cannot be far behind.

Sent this screenshot to the family football chat this morning, which includes my Chelsea-supporting brother in LA: "Good morning! Thanks for Noni!"

Solid day's work. Zubimendi will get the headlines for his two goals, but impressive stuff from Cristhian Mosquera and Noni Madueke, and the Eze/Gyokeres link-up for the second goal is what we're hoping to see lots more of this season. With more final third precision, this could have been 4 or 5-0.

Wondering exactly when to wake my husband and our dog in the dark to hustle them downstairs for kickoff. Jumping on the bed excitedly to say "EZE!" Is probably too much at 6 ish am.

Figured out that I am super-caffeinated after I wrote a long, detailed text to the family group chat about the insane end of the Italy v Israel WC qualifying match, but before I hit send. #winning

It is being seen as a significant win for City that they got the Etihad deal through, especially as new APT rules stand www.independent.co.uk/sport/footba...

We really enjoyed the new Spike Lee Denzel Washington movie Highest 2 Lowest on Apple. The art collection alone was incredible.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen this before, but it features some of my favorite sports guys from the (unironically) glory days of Twitter.

Making my guests watch England team practice videos, so I can tell them the entire tale of Ebere Eze.

His teammates singing along!

In the dark, working on a document in my pajamas to send before I start my day. I am listening to Football Clichés Quiz XXI: LIbero, which is too amusing and actually distracting.

I hope he brings honor back to the #5 shirt.

Why didn't you just try to win, Arne?

That's quite a profit.
