I've been curious about the Nima Momeni suit against @sfstandard.com, et al. It sounded like a loser, but no one was posting the complaint. It's a pro se form complaint. Just seems like something to keep him entertained while he awaits sentencing.

I hope folks realize that between Trump, Kushner, Hegseth, Witkoff, Noem, RFK, Jr., Kash Patel, and Tulsi Gabbard, this country is almost entirely undefended.
Q: Have you heard this audio that Bloomberg has of Witkoff coaching the Russians on how to appeal to you?
TRUMP: That's a standard thing. He's gotta sell this to Ukraine, he's gonna sell Ukraine to Russia. That's what a dealmaker does. I haven't heard it but I heard it was standard negotiation.

Trump doesn't know who Andrew Tate is. But the Heritage Foundation functionaries and Hillsdale College interns who have taken over the White House care very much about Andrew Tate and his ilk.
NEW: When Andrew Tate landed in the US, Customs & Border Protection seized his electronic devices. But @propublica.org found that a White House official told DHS to return the devices, emphasizing that the request came from the White House.

The White House Intervened on Behalf of Accused Sex Trafficker Andrew Tate During a Federal Investigation
Federal authorities were chided for seizing electronic devices from Tate and his brother, and told to return them, records and interviews show. Experts said the intervention was highly inappropriate.

Looking at our finals schedule, I see that a colleague is teaching "Statuary Analysis." I like that we're inserting a little art criticism into our otherwise staid legal curriculum.

Saw that Alabama is playing St. John’s today and thought, “that will be a bloodbath. I didn’t know St. John’s even had a football team.” It doesn’t. It’s a basketball game.

I just saw a video of Marc Maron playing a Johnny Thunders song I’ve played. I was reminded that he worked in a restaurant I worked in. I was friends with friends of his. I had pieces of paper with poems he wrote at BU. He has talked about a band of mine. How have I never met this guy?
