This sounds like Fredo’s monologue in Godfather 2

Mylène Demongeot by Sam Lévin, 1960

WBAL in Baltimore helping viewers understand the difference between watches and warnings

"I am writing a book right now, a really challenging endeavor that no doubt someone in Silicon Valley will think it’s fine to steal the day it’s published." That's a helluva lede.

Younger people: you cannot imagine how hopeful parts of the 1990s felt. The peaceful end of apartheid. Peace in N. Ireland. Wars that had been going on forever suddenly and apparently miraculously resolved. Also, computers! And yet there were crazy people in Congress shooting at pumpkins, waiting.

I'm sorry the writers are just getting lazy this season. I mean, having these characters wear *literal* clown shoes?

The reason this guy was "overwhelmed" is because a) there was an ideological purge of DOJ, b) a bunch of other attorneys left in disgust, and c) they're doing a fuckton of shady shit that results in them constantly getting hauled into court. "Overwhelmed" is their own damn fault.

“Instead of producing what looks like a generic critique from a nameless LLM,” Wired reported last week, Expert Review “lists a number of real academics and authors available to weigh in on your text. To be clear: Those people have nothing to do with this process.”🤬

I’ve been thinking paralegals have more reason than most to be skeptical of Gen AI because a lot of our job is fixing attorneys’ mistakes, and we know how much time and effort it takes to do that. The dirtier the brief, the longer it takes to fix it.

Amazing thread

U R DOIN IT RONG

Meanwhile, Sen. Kennedy steps all over this by highlighting Bier's post about DHS's eliminationist Twitter trolling.

It's extraordinary the lengths to which some people will go to avoid acknowledging that if you operate potentially lethal machinery in the vicinity of humans, you have a heightened responsibility to do whatever is necessary to avoid killing them.

The clearest indictment of this NYT piece is the list of outlets linking to it.

Harriet Tubman didn’t just dream of freedom, she selflessly led others towards it. More than one hundred years after her passing, we honor her legacy and tell the story of her unmatched bravery.

This is wild. Kennedy is reading Bier's "blewski" posts as if they discredit him, but everything in there is true. They're not even hyperbole! OF COURSE the administration's policy is ethnic cleansing. OF COURSE district court judges are braver than ICE goons.

Looking forward to the day when I can say Roses are red Kilts are tartan I'm not a lawyer And neither is Ed Martin

"These new songs just aren't connecting with the audience, let's go back to our hits from 20 years ago"

Bier: "Over the last 30 years, we looked at all the government budgets -- federal, state, and local combined. Immigrants reduce deficits by $14.5 trillion."

Semi-annual reminder: the time change is only a pain because we do it just twice a year. If we did it every day, we would be used to it. Fall back at 5 am every day, and spring forward at 2 pm. That way we maximize am AND pm light. (And of course workers would have to be paid for the missing hour.)

I would have watched this show

Trump [thinking]: This war is doing a great job of distracting from Epstein! Also Trump:

Powerful, gripping new story by @garrettepps.bsky.social in @washingtonmonthly.com, about the reaction in small-town coastal Oregon when ICE and the "deportation industrial complex" arrived. washingtonmonthly.com/2026/03/09/i...

Insurrectionists don't belong in Congress

Your timeline told me it wanted some pictures from the delightful Wes Anderson show at the Design Museum In London

This is a really lovely tribute

Yes, the headline is terrible, and okay, the subhed isn't any better, but to be completely fair the first two paragraphs are spectacularly awful

Also, scallops are delicious.

TV show pitch: reboot of Mannix, but the lead character is super depressive

You know who ELSE had a whole list of countries to attack?

Fucking morons need to learn how to fucking read. And this goes way beyond romance novels.

If you don't love Daylight Savings Time, you love Donald Trump

THREAD: I got laid off from NYMag/Vulture after 14 years. The family lost 75% of income + medical. Now mzs.press bookstore, once a side project. is do-or-die for Judith & I. I feel weird telling you this because others are doing much worse. But if you could like or share this, we'd be so grateful!

SHOULD THE U.S BLOT OUT THE SUN AND USHER IN AN AGE OF ETERNAL DARKNESS? - Gallup 2/20/26-3/5/26 NO - 41% YES - 38% UNSURE - 21%

Say what you will about the Trump administration, they clearly have excellent taste in cinema, because the women all base their looks on Brazil

Tourist outside Department of Defense. Looks at sign reading Department of War. Notices smudge, wipes it off, revealing the word Crimes.

If course, it wouldn’t be called a robot for another quarter century. But this is seriously cool.

Who’s going to tell Kristi Noem that that shield is really just a trash can lid?

Back at headquarters, cocky decisions are made

I would say Alex Cox/The Revenger’s Tragedy, but that’s already happened. I would love to see Stephen Soderbergh do Borges.

Free idea for someone: a 365 day Trump Impeachable Offense calendar, where every day has an impeachable offense Trump committed on that day

Usurping the authority of the legislative branch and defying the authority of the judiciary; directly attacking the 1st, 4th, 5th, 8th, and 14th Amendments. You don’t get to nullify the Constitution and then claim the authority of an office that doesn’t exist in the absence of the Constitution.

“Senator Mullet, what is the name of the department that is conducting this operation?”

If you live in Colorado call his office. He needs to hear from a fuckton of people about this.

Pull the plug. I’m sure an EEG would register no brain activity; letting them go would be an act of mercy at this point.

after absolutely eviscerating Kristi Noem and calling for her resignation, Tillis is applauded. He thens threatens to hold up nominees if she doesn't stop stonewalling him. My God.
