5/5 Also worth noting that, in Plutarch's telling--the telling that the Founding generation would have known intimately--it was Caesar's raiding of the treasury and threatening of the tribune Mettellus, who tried to defend it, that was one of the clearest signs that he intended to become a dictator.

1/ It's not just that unilaterally paying TSA agents is illegal. It's that Trump has now repeatedly undermined the core of the congressional power of the purse. He's not spending money that has been appropriated by law (impoundments) and he's spending money that has not been appropriated.

This should be an impeachable offense. I understand that we’re way past any of that, but that shouldn’t stop us from naming it.

The AI economy looks...really precarious. So @matteowong.bsky.social & I did a bunch of reporting to try to figure out what happens when a potential bubble collides with a war in Iran and a potential resource shortage. The answer is...arguably the most dire stuff i've heard from smart ppl in a while

One person in this photo deserves a 20% WNBA revenue share and it’s not me. Congratulations to the WNBPA on their historic labor agreement.

clear your evening, this is a gift.

Opening Day. Phils win. And now this. Our cup runneth over.

Julius Caesar introduced a coin with his name, image, and the title DICT PERPETVO; dictator for life. It was created in February of 44 B.C. and stopped being minted in March of 44 B.C., for some reason.

Mark Zuckerberg must resign. He is the one consistent line in Meta’s history of poor privacy design and lack of enforcement on terms. I am proud to be a whistleblower in a line of researchers who have shown that Meta was strategically co-opting and killing research about their flaws. #zuckMustGo

Smells like quagmire.

These "Articles" folks speak of in the US Constitution, do they have any meaning?

Good morning, the phillies play a baseball game today

ABTCR just got a call about these two young adult female hounds, we think they're littermates. They were found wandering and starving a little ways outside Raleigh, and we're trying to find a foster home that can take them both:

I've found this to be especially true while teaching criminal law.

“Pope Leo made a plea on Wednesday for countries to offer their ​citizens universal healthcare, calling it a ‘moral imperative’ that ‌people have access to the health services they need.” www.reuters.com/business/hea...

Look what just came in the mail! Unlike the half-assed "scholarship" that partisan law profs have been rushing out in an effort to undermine birthright citizenship, this book by @unlawfulentries.bsky.social was sixteen years in the making. And it shows. Get your copy. You're going to need it.

Pretty cool how white collar criminals suddenly started behaving so much better under Trump! 🤷🏼 It probably definitely isn’t that they just get away with everything now

In something you don't see everyday, the Apple gave the FBI the real name and email address of one of its customers using Apple's 'Hide My Email' feature. This lets you generate random email addresses to protect your privacy www.404media.co/apple-gives-...

I have physics-related questions.

I encourage everyone to read this entire book, which is fantastic.

For no particular reason related to the news, I thought it might be nice to share that I've made Chapter 1 of my book "Privacy's Blueprint" available on my website. Here is "Why Design is Everything": img1.wsimg.com/blobby/go/78...

Hokay: It was Iran’s own money. It was released as part of an agreement that flooded Iran with nuclear inspectors and worked well. By contrast, Trump lifted sanctions in a desperate bid to lower oil prices while Iran is shooting at American troops. You might call it an inconvenient truth.

Guess who forgot the name Diego Garcia?

I don't want to own any part of any Elon Musk company, or be in any fund that owns one. Not just because of the bigotry; they are corporate governance DISASTERS. And I'm not the only one. I asked a broker if they had index funds that skipped his companies and they said I wasn't the first to ask...

Here's how the tech ethos of "move fast and break things" resulted in the US bombing of a girls' school in Iran. "A chatbot did not kill those children. People failed to update a database, and other people built a system fast enough to make that failure lethal." www.theguardian.com/news/2026/ma...

Because why not?

Not everything is bad.

NASA might have been the coolest organization on planet earth — a real life/larger than life organization that the smartest people in the world respected, kids dreamed their whole life of working for, & even Hollywood couldn’t make larger than it already was. So of course Trump ruined it in a year.

Relevant to recent conversations around legal scholarship:

Post a non-religious picture you think of as holy

Remember when they had a visit from Elon Musk but canceled the Thayer Award for Tom Fucking Hanks? Don’t tell me the institutional military’s not captured or at least dumb as a fucking rock.

I had been under the impression that the GOP generally disliked the everyone-gets-a-trophy approach.

There was commonly found graffiti during the Vietnam War that began “Fighting for peace is like…”

Essentially what Twitter used to be (or at least in the gauzy way I remember it).

This is how sectarian wars of religion begin.
