Today I got to discuss whether to have active shooter drills at my daughter’s preschool in Minneapolis. Does the trauma of a drill outweigh the benefit of preparedness? These are kids as young as 16 months. Teachers prepare yearly, just not with the kids. This is parenting in 2025.

Whoa. Spicy footnote from Justice Jackson, dissenting in the ADA case. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...
![The majority’s contention that I reject “ ‘pure textualism’ [a]s insuf
ficiently pliable to secure the result [I] seek,” ante, at 10, stems from an
unfortunate misunderstanding of the judicial role. Our interpretative
task is not to seek our own desired results (whatever they may be). And,
indeed, it is precisely because of this solemn duty that, in my view, it is
imperative that we interpret statutes consistent with all relevant indicia
of what Congress wanted, as best we can ascertain its intent. A method
ology that includes consideration of Congress’s aims does exactly that—
and no more. By contrast, pure textualism’s refusal to try to understand
the text of a statute in the larger context of what Congress sought to
achieve turns the interpretive task into a potent weapon for advancing
judicial policy preferences. By “finding” answers in ambiguous text, and
not bothering to consider whether those answers align with other sources
of statutory meaning, pure textualists can easily disguise their own pref
erences as “textual” inevitabilities. So, really, far from being “insuffi
ciently pliable,” I think pure textualism is incessantly malleable—that’s
its primary problem—and, indeed, it is certainly somehow always flexi
ble enough to secure the majority’s desired outcome.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:f4d76fjna5nxqsy2fu6cgmp3/bafkreicg7mx5lddzyvnoguvadwnojtm7xcu2sf34hhizuapfesk46w7kli@jpeg)

This is the type of thing that poorly run private companies are doing on a smaller scale constantly and a great example of why “we gotta run government like a business” is a grade-A dumb guy’s idea of what a smart guy thinks
NYT: One estimate finds that DOGE’s “firings, re-hirings, lost productivity and paid leave of thousands of workers” will actually COST taxpayers “upward of $135 billion this fiscal year.”

How would @edsbs.bsky.social fix Atlanta?
There’s no escaping many of the allegations we’d like to dodge about our city. But at the very least, we should change the name of our baseball team.
It's time to rebrand the Braves—immediately and forever.

Hey, can I share some historical context with you about “race-baiter” Ebrahim Rasool?
When I see a South African who’s a little older, I always check what they were doing before 1990. 🧐
Found something surprising: As a boy, Rasool and his family were expelled from District Six.
