Who at Microsoft decided that sending users to b2clogin dot com as a legitimate login page for third party apps is a good idea? This is like training people to ignore the warning signs of phishing.

For those who keep score, none of the "top" 11 law schools signed. But a big swath of the next-in-line did: #12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 21 and 24. (Berkeley, UCLA, Cornell, Georgetown, Minnesota, UNC-Chapel Hill, Boston University). They are modeling leadership and unity for us.

Annotated sheets here. This pattern is not random. It could just be social, i.e. these Deans knew each other. But it looks like "top" law schools can't find their voice. Mr. Rogers said, "Look for the helpers" - but maybe don't look for them in the Ivies. And rethink those rankings. 2/

Yesterday was the 57th anniversary of the My Lai massacre.
I don't think there has been a time where Hugh Thompson Jnr's behaviour, and his actions that day, have been more relevant to US history than they are right now.

On 16th March, 1968 Warrant Officer Hugh Thompson Jnr was flying helicopter recon for a US attack on My Lai, an alleged Viet Cong-controlled village in Vietnam.
But as the attack developed below, Thompson realised he was witnessing something something else:
A massacre.
He decided to act. 1/28
