“Bove stated that D.O.J. would need to consider telling the courts ‘fuck you’ and ignore any such order.” This story is just a blockbuster in every way - exposing Bove & others to both contempt and a suite of bar ethics charges. Hope to add more as time permits, but the whistleblower a hero.

America cannot long remain free, nor first among nations, if it becomes the kind of place where universities are dismantled because they don't align politically with the current head of the government.

RIP Val Kilmer

Great actor. His movie Real Genius was one of my favorites as a kid. His documentary Val was a great watch too.
The image is a promotional movie poster for the 1985 film "Real Genius," starring Val Kilmer. The poster features Kilmer as the character Chris Knight, a brilliant but unconventional physics student. He is sitting cross-legged on a desk, wearing a red patterned short-sleeve shirt over a yellow t-shirt with the words "TOXIC WASTE" printed on it, and khaki shorts. He is smiling and pointing towards a complex, glowing, orbiting structure that appears to be a representation of an atom or some other scientific concept. The background is a blurred cityscape seen through a window, suggesting the scene is set indoors. On the desk, alongside Kilmer, are various items including a white boxy object (possibly a computer component), a small security camera, a black bookend, and a pair of fluffy bunny slippers. The title of the movie "REAL GENIUS" is prominently displayed at the bottom in red and blue lettering, with a stylized atom symbol incorporated into the design. The poster also includes the tagline "When he gets mad, he doesn't get even... he gets creative," and credits for the production, cast, and crew. The text at the top reads "MEET CHRIS KNIGHT, THE EINSTEIN OF THE 80's. He can turn lasers into light shows, armchairs into aircraft, and high tech into high jinks. But when his professor steals his prize invention he turns revenge into high comedy."

Bob Dylan concert in Tulsa Tuesday night with a visit to the Bob Dylan Center before.

Reposting after reading about the need to include Alt Text for photos. Adding alt text descriptions on this post.
Photo of enlarged photograph on the wall inside the entrance of the Bob Dylan Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma. The enlarged photograph is of Bob Dylan originally taken in New York City in 1963 by Ralph Baxter. The image shows the exterior of the Bob Dylan Center, a museum in Tulsa, Oklahoma, dedicated to the life and work of the musician Bob Dylan. The building is made of red brick and features large windows with graphics related to the museum's exhibits. The most prominent text on the building reads "BOB DYLAN CEN" in large, faded letters, giving it a vintage appearance. Photo cuts off before the full word "Center" can be captured since photo was taken from a cell phone camera from the sidewalk in front of the building. Below this, the text "STEPPING INTO THE UNKNOWN" is visible on a window, advertising an exhibit. Another set of windows displays images of Jesse Ed Davis, with the words "JESSE ED DAVIS NATURAL ANTHEM NOW ON DISPLAY". The overall aesthetic of the building blends a historical, industrial look with modern graphic elements related to music and the museum's content. Photo shows a crowd of people lined up outside the Tulsa Theater, located at 105 W Reconciliation Way, Tulsa, OK 74103. The theater is a brick building with a distinctive cross design near the roofline and several windows. The sky above is filled with clouds, suggesting a sunset preceding the anticipated start time of the Bob Dylan concert scheduled for 8 PM on 25 March 2025. A white SUV is parked on the street in front of the theater. The crowd is diverse, with people of different ages and appearances. They are lined up in an orderly fashion, waiting to enter the theater for the Bob Dylan Concert kicking off his 2025 Rough and Rowdy Ways Tour. The image is a concert setlist for Bob Dylan's performance at the Tulsa Theater in Tulsa, Oklahoma, on March 25, 2025. It lists 17 songs, including "All Along the Watchtower," "It Ain't Me, Babe," and "Every Grain of Sand." The setlist also notes the instruments played by Bob Dylan and Tony Garnier for each song, with additional appearances by Bob Britt on acoustic guitar. The bottom of the setlist thanks several people for their help with phone calls and emails and lists the band members, including Bob Dylan, Tony Garnier, Anton Fig, Bob Britt, and Doug Lancio. Set List: 1. "All Along the Watchtower" 2. "It Ain't Me, Babe" 3. "I Contain Multitudes" 4. "False Prophet" 5. "When I Paint My Masterpiece" 6. "Black Rider" 7. "My Own Version of You" 8. "To Be Alone With You" 9. "Crossing the Rubicon" 10. "Desolation Row" 11. "Key West (Philosopher Pirate)" 12. "Watching the River Flow" 13. "It's All Over Now, Baby Blue" 14. "I've Made Up My Mind To Give Myself To You" 15. "Mother of Muses" 16. "Goodbye Jimmy Reed" 17. "Every Grain of Sand"

Great article by @scottrowley.bsky.social. Gave Bob Dylan's Bringing It All Back Home album another listen because of it. Spoiler - it's still great.

Like the spoiled children of the rich who squander their unappreciated legacies, a vast swath of Americans are taking for granted the hard-earned freedoms and rule of law that made us a rich and powerful nation. If we are not careful we will lose our inheritance forever.
