Excellent thread. There are a number of fascinating book recommendations here.

UCLA School of Law professor Rick Hasen (@rickhasen.bsky.social) has been awarded a 2026 Guggenheim Fellowship to support his work on his forthcoming book “Unbent Arc: The Rise and Decline of American Democracy 1964-2024.” Read more: law.ucla.edu/news/rick-ha...

This story is worth the 5 minutes it will take to read the thread. All of history’s famous figures should be humanized in such an engaging way. :-)

After Claudia Goldin became the first woman to win a solo Nobel in economics, she got hundreds of invitations. She accepted three. One was advising WNBA players on a labor deal. She helped players land the biggest % raise in US sports history. www.wsj.com/economy/wnba...

Okay. I’m legitimately thrilled now. Congratulations to Michael B. Jordan. From Wallace, to Oscar Grant, to Adonis Creed, to Killmonger, now Smoke and Stack - what a beautiful career he has had, and what a beautiful career he will continue to have. I’m so, so happy! #Sinners

I really, really loved “Golden,” and I think that splitting the baby between K-Pop Demon Hunters (song) and Sinners (score) was the right call.

Pedro Pascal is booked and busy, and I am here for it.

I’m starting to worry about #Sinners.

I have a “hate/hate” relationship with Peeps, but honestly, this takes it to a new level. If this isn’t AI, then shame on the world because it ought to be. 🤦🏾‍♀️

For Liam.

@jdmortenson.bsky.social - FYI. I have not seen the ruling, but I thought you’d be interested in the update. This is a great step forward for Jordan!

Someone should tell Mika that she doesn't have to yell and rant just because Joe is off that day.

My good friend, @gregmagarian.bsky.social, is quoted in this piece, where he is discussing First Amendment rights. Go Greg! :-) www.cnn.com/2026/01/22/u...

Somebody give it up for Delroy Lindo! He finally received an Oscar nomination!

6/ … if I were a member of Congress, I’d see little reason to try, given what the Court is likely to do.

5/ In other words, I see very little reason to think that the Court would *allow* Congress to solve significant national problems—at least, when those solutions took a form the majority of justices disliked. And conversely …

This is a fascinating article.

The absolute truth in this… :-)

I don’t know what’s going on with the wind on Long Island, but for the past two days, it has just been rude.

"Writing is finally about one thing: going into a room alone and doing it. Putting words on paper that have never been there in quite that way before.” William Goldman, who died on this day in 2018

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen. Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

D’Angelo is gone and I am not okay. I was in the middle of college when “Brown Sugar” was released and it changed my musical world. The neo-soul movement defined my early-mid 20s and D’Angelo, for me, was its voice. RIP. www.npr.org/2025/10/14/n...

KBJ’s blunt question today about the Supreme Court’s culture war hypocrisy kind of floored me, because it’s the kind of meta-criticism that we aren’t used to hearing from the justices. It’s the second day of the term, and things are that dire already. slate.com/news-and-pol...

I had a lovely day in Brooklyn. I was especially excited to get this classic shot. :-) #Dumbo

I’m loving this interview with Kamala Harris on The Rachel Maddow Show. I bet I’ll enjoy her book even more. #107Days

Best friends. ❤️

What a wonderful way to start the day - James Taylor and Carly Simon harmonizing beautifully here.

I was very excited to contribute to this piece. Thanks, @rodgerdcitron.bsky.social, for the opportunity!

This one made me cry.

It’s important to stand up for yourself. :-)

In constitutional litigation based on equal protection, there are times when the government doesn’t have to justify its actions based on what it REALLY wanted to achieve, but rather, can do so based on any plausible justification that might theoretically make sense.

If you, like I did, grew up on “Moments in Love,” and you also never saw a picture of the members of Art of Noise, this is as surprising as the day we learned about Bobby Caldwell. Huh. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Art_of_...
