If I made a list of 1,000 adjectives I look for in a legislator, “masculine” would not be one of them.

Now I'm just scared to death of what they've been doing in their other still-confidential cases.

The AEI study didn't find that people were staring at a TV screen for 6.1 hours. It measured all socializing, relaxing, and leisure activities combined over 24 hours. This includes everything from visiting family and talking on the phone to exercising, reading, and resting.

Hercules and Nessus, by Giambologna, 1599

My wife beat me at Scrabble. When I got upset at some of the words, she said I have no evidence that she was cheating. But that's just because she is such a diabolical cheater.

A HuffPo summary of this reporting described Kennedy as focusing on his “pet projects,” which in his case is a uniquely distressing turn of phrase. 🦝🐻🐋

Damn.

We are enslaving people. Again. Yes, even though we abolished slavery. “[H]istory did not end in 1965.” Shelby County v. Holder. 570 U.S. 529, 552 (2013) (Roberts, C.J.).

i want to go to there

My wife is angry at me for starting a fight with the neighbors. I reminded her that the fight has been shorter than the Vietnam War.

Imagine a closing argument that includes, “there is more evidence than has ever been presented.”

How embarrassing that JP Morgan cosplayed its entire office in space exploration memorabilia and then Elon couldn't be asked to join the IPO presentation in person.

It was a scroll-by hirsute-ing.

Just give him the Golden Glove now.

Just because I see mutuals misunderstanding this: HR Lady is something very specific. In conservative discourse around masculinity, it is a trope that women abandoned the home and all they got was HR jobs, trading family for corporate mediocrity. www.nytimes.com/video/opinio...

Left to Right: Con Law, Contracts, Torts

It is really something to watch Maher tell an expert in the field (and a woman of color) that she is wrong about the 2017 assessment of Israeli intelligence services, based on nothing but his intuition.

Setting aside for a moment what the First Amendment demands: If we as a community are going to kill people, we should have to do it in public, and we should have to watch.

Has somebody already named their sourdough starter “Waiting for Good Dough” or ...

these people underestimate my archival research skills at their peril

You mean OMB plans to have "Money ... drawn from the Treasury" but not "in Consequence of Appropriations made by Law"? I think we have a law against that somewhere.

Genuinely disgusting that we gave any prosecutorial power to these people whose only goal is to ruin lives.

This $2,100 Timex kinda rips. I mean, look at that display caseback and movement!

guys i think i figured out how to fund the weaponization thingy

Congratulations to Bluesky for making Kumail Nanjiani's top four!

I have unsubscribed from my Outlook unread-notification summaries. @coreyryung.bsky.social

I have plenty of qualms, but this is very funny for law professors who host office hours. law.stanford.edu/wp-content/u...

This was oddly satisfying: A Trump administration official who correctly navigates the difference between an “Acting” officer and a senior official performing duties. @ajosephoconnell.bsky.social @stevevladeck.bsky.social

If any of you quote Act 2, Scene 2 of The Tempest, I'm going to lose it.

Primary Senator Cassidy, they said. It'll go great, they said.

SCOTUSBlog: How the Moderate Supreme Court Tempered Conservative Judicial "Activism" by Sarah Isgur

Suppose I make and patent Miruvor, a drug to treat Hobbitfoot. As my patent expires, I prove that Miruvor also treats Balrog Reflux, so I get a new patent. A generic, Imladris, emerges to treat Hobbitfoot, but to my chagrin, doctors use it (the same drug) for Balrog. When can I sue Imladris?

A quick review suggests that Justice Gorsuch has included the bottom-line holding in his introduction (1) ~100% of the time in his first three years; ~85% of the time in his next three years; and ~90% of the time since 2023. But not here. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

Ohtani has 41 runs this year. All the hitters he has faced together have 28 (earned or unearned).

OMG guys she tried to 𝘗𝘶𝘳𝘤𝘦𝘭𝘭 me back. She doesn't understand that 𝘗𝘶𝘳𝘤𝘦𝘭𝘭 applies only to other people, not to me.

I was about half-way through my honey-do list when my wife asked me to take out the kitchen trash. I told her that, unfortunately, she was too late under 𝘗𝘶𝘳𝘤𝘦𝘭𝘭.

There are five lights.

There is almost nothing worse for the rule of law than the Supreme Court blessing Alabama’s open contempt for (1) Congress’s statute, (2) the trial court’s order, and (3) the Supreme Court’s own decision. And doing so on a 14th Amendment case? That's Lost Cause of the Revolution-level nonsense.

I suppose I should mention how lovely this watch is during the Ali Express summer sale. www.aliexpress.com/item/1005009...

Dormammu, I’ve come to selfie.

Even for children, I remain uneasy about Comic Sans.

So when opposing counsel says that they have “just a couple of” changes to the contract ...

At some point, the table of contents is so illegible that you've just forgone an entire section of your brief. This may as well have been a word cloud. www.supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/25...

Erin Hawley is up there arguing that the Alabama legislature gets the presumption of good faith when the Alabama legislature was expressly refusing to do what the Supreme Court of the United States told it to do.

If you want to impose a racist election map, you've got to plan ahead so that your ballots are ready before Racism Day.

The proposal to make federal workers sign NDAs is redundant, except where it is very, very illegal

He's right that this is a technical matter. Technically, it's not just that we're making less money; it's also that the government is starving people.
