Over the last 10 months, the federal government has cracked down on political expression with a persistence and viciousness reminiscent of some of the darkest periods of U.S. history. Welcome to the Third Red Scare.

The First Amendment Won’t Go Quietly

Welcome to the third Red Scare.

OSCAR ISAAC, on whether he'd return to "Star Wars":

".. Yeah. I mean, I’d be open to it, although right now I’m not so open to working with Disney. But if they can kinda figure it out and, you know, not succumb to fascism, that would be great."

Oscar Isaac Was ‘Not So Open to Working With Disney’ After Jimmy Kimmel Suspension, Said He’d Return to ‘Star Wars’ if Disney Does ‘Not Succumb to Fascism’

Oscar Isaac was not open to working with Disney after Jimmy Kimmel's suspension and will only return to 'Star Wars' if the studio avoids fascism.

Anyhow I think best case is it animates Dems to primary the feckless surrender monkeys

Chip Stewart @medialawprof.bsky.social · 19h

It seemed like before the shutdown, folks on here said a 1-year extension of ACA funding was a gift to the GOP because it would cover up the pain before midterms. So it’s a gamble of whether that pain helps Dems more than surrender hurts? And maybe house has to come back into session?

Happy There Is A Circulatory System Walking Through The Kitchen Day to all who celebrate.

It's an artistic representation of a circulatory system walking through a kitchen, as drawn by Dave Gibbons and written about by Alan Moore.
It happens a lot 'round here.

The Salem Red Sox are no more! The new Salem RidgeYaks will begin in 2026 with a new Mac the Yak mascot, and a blue/gold/red identity. We've got the full logo set, the origin of the name, and the list of remaining parent-name MiLB clubs. Read the breakdown: news.sportslogos.net/2025/11/09/s...

In case you were wondering how long I would be free from high school band drama after putting the last piece of equipment away from the last performance from marching season at 8:30 p.m. yesterday, the answer is less than 12 hours

So the oldest person ever to become president keeps falling asleep in his office during public events and there’s no big public discussion on how this is a coverup or how republicans are lying to us about how this government is running?

Team USA won gold in double mini trampoline and silver in tumbling. Take that, Azerbaijan!

Chip Stewart @medialawprof.bsky.social · 2d

One of my buddies’ kids just won a bronze medal at worlds in trampoline, and you’ve never seen a college bro groupchat blow up like we have over the past few days. Streaming tumbling worlds at 8 a.m. and cheering. Anyhow dudes rock.

When there’s a negro leagues category, there’s really only one guy I have come up with a very loose Rangers tie - Minnie Minoso, who played briefly for the Senators. So Jackie makes frequent appearances in my grids.

Chip Stewart @medialawprof.bsky.social · 2d

Indeed - but any excuse to play Jackie is a good one!

I’ll claim Jackie Robinson since his number is retired in Texas

I am once again reminding you that “general” is the adjective in “attorney general” (and deputy attorney general). If you need help remembering that, just think of Ted Cruz begging his wife to call him “general” when he was Texas solicitor general. www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

My last Friday night lights as a Paschal high school band parent, after 10 years with kids here. It’s going about as well as the past decade of games.

Arlington Heights 36, Paschal 7, and it’s not even halftime
