Really great piece for anyone from the Christian community.
From @nytopinion.nytimes.com
“Too many Christians are transforming Christianity into a vertical faith, one that focuses on your personal relationship with God at the expense of the horizontal relationship you have with your neighbors,” writes our columnist David French.

I wonder what percentage of NYT sudoku players are other parents siting in kids’ rooms at night with a music or story playing on their phone desperately wanting/waiting for said kid to fall asleep…

Good words for Resurrection Sunday. “It’s easy to look at a politicized faith and despair…But there is another faith — one far removed from the headlines — that is doing something else entirely.”
There is a different version of the Christian faith, one that is far removed from the political headlines.
This faith loves its enemies. It mends the broken heart. And it declares, by word and deed, that no one is too lost to experience the love of God. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/20/o...

Opinion | A Resurrection Faith Needs a Resurrection Church
As anger and fear dominate the public square, a church that follows a resurrected savior should be a balm, not a blowtorch.

Same judge considering the state secret privilege invocation for when a plane departed will now examine legal issues potentially including whether it was classified that the government was about to bomb an apparently civilian building in a foreign country. What a timeline.

You know you’ve made it in a law firm when you are the one that gets to decide whether to use one or spaces between sentences.

Throwback to the most delicious stuffed focaccia and amari cocktail at Fox and The Knife last week in Boston. That restaurant is so worth the trip whenever you find yourself in Beantown next!

Interesting issue - a good one to watch!
For the first time in American history, servicemembers today can be court-martialed for certain offenses *without* a right to be tried by a panel.
We're asking #SCOTUS to decide whether the "short-martial" Congress debuted in 2019 violates the Due Process Clause:

Exciting opportunity to make oral arguments more accessible to the public without having to guess at what time to arrive for the public line!
The Supreme Court announced a pilot program for members of the public to reserve courtroom seats for oral arguments in advance.
Currently, the court provides seats on a first-come, first-served basis. Lines often start early in the morning, or even the day before for big cases.

5-year old wanted “fancy music” on the way to school. With singing (i.e. no instrumentals). Was not prepared to select from the category of “fancy music with words.” What do you play?
