I've been a man for a while now. I know many men, and have relationships with men of varying degrees of crassness.

I can't think of a single man I know--from gardners to financiers and appellate judges--who would comment on a woman's appearance as part of a job reference.
This is the Yale professor's explanation for why he described the physical attractiveness of a student in an email to Epstein. He explicitly says he regrets nothing about their association.

Again, I'm so happy Yale hired David Brooks to restore trust.

I don't mind so much the billionaires when they are building things.

It is when they start buying things they didn't build that I think things really go south.

I wish they could do House of the Dragon over and have it run by the people doing A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms.

That show rocks.

I DRINK FROM THE KEG OF GLORY THIS MORNING, FRIENDS.

More on this victory later, but for now, let me say that victories are far sweeter when you win them with friends.

Thanks so much to @timothycornell.bsky.social and @amtappeals.bsky.social for their excellent briefs in this case.
Congratulations to @carlcecere.bsky.social for winning a righteous appeal before the First Circuit.

Conduct yourself so that Andrew never has to say this about your work product.
Anyway. This is like the Temu version of doc review.

Yes. Poll after poll says Independents, who now make up 1/3 of the electorate, can recognize fascism. And they really hate it.

I really like news of Trumpists losing ground, especially when it requires hard math.
While you were sleeping, Dems flipped a state senate seat in Texas by 14 points in a district Trump won by 17 points in 2024.

This is a political earthquake with massive implications for the midterms.

JUDGE DILLARD GAVE YOU A SWORD?
Officially a licensed Indiana lawyer as of today! I arranged to get sword in by Judge Dillard of the Georgia Court of Appeals, because the paperwork said *any* judge, and I found it too amusing to pass up. Many thanks to His Honor for going along with it.
My Indiana law license was finally approved! I have a very special appointment to get sworn in this week by a very special judge.

Could we all agree not to quote that line from 1984 any more?

You know the one.

It’s a good book. With many other great lines.

Temu Ryan Reynolds, right here.
Who do you aspire to be a Temu of?

I think my best aspirational form is Temu @stevevladeck.bsky.social
Someone sent me a screen of a Twitter weirdo I’d happily forgotten proclaiming Radley Balko is a low budget Popehat.

I beg your pardon, Popehat is a Temu Radley Balko.

His whole childhood, everybody’s hated Stephen Miller’s approach to everything. Looks like nothing much has changed.

please reach out via DM (and not just with links to already swamped nonprofits though)

I can’t believe this would be the result from a “pay to play” bribery scheme. I mean I just can’t believe it.

Whatever else might be said about the people who wrote this memo, they don't seem to get the basic idea of a memo.
🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional!

ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.

What really gives me the shivers is there’s three more years of this. What’s next in the options box *after* Greenland, which has got to be one of the dumbest and most deprived policy ideas a president has ever come up with?

The guy just talks like a gangster.
Trump on NATO: "We never ask for anything, and we never got anything. We probably won't get anything unless I decide to use excessive strength and force, where we would be frankly unstoppable. But I won't do that. Okay?"
