This is my favorite take on Gerrymandering, by far.

The implicit media consensus is that urban voters should not be able to overrule rural voters, but that rural voters should be able to overrule urban voters, an assumption so axiomatic and unquestionable that nobody even understands they're making it.

This is the blep that the forces of the world do not want you to see

Love the Minnie Minoso! @adarowski.bsky.social

@every-topps-card.bsky.social I’d like a pack please!

Here’s the 5th Circuit’s opinion openly and directly defying an on-point Supreme Court precedent that prohibits the display of the 10 Commandments in public school classrooms.

Shameless defiance of SCOTUS, but we’ll see if the supermajority cares. txvalues.org/wp-content/u...

Damn you Iranian hackers

Little brown and black chihuahua mix with his tongue just barely poking out while he sleeps. Blep!

I interrupt your timeline with this important blep

I do think tech companies are underestimating the amount of

- new app fatigue
- useless upgrade fatigue
- terms of service fatigue

We agree with the district court. As explained above, those cases—Fogarty and Buck—recognized in 2008 that shooting a non-threatening protestor with a pepperball when the protestor had committed, at most, a minor offense and was not trying to evade arrest, violated the Fourth Amendment. Those two earlier Tenth Circuit cases are sufficiently analogous to the circumstances presented here to have put a reasonable officer in Officer Christian’s position on notice in May 2020 that shooting Epps with a pepper ball in the context of her peaceful behavior would violate the Fourth Amendment. Our conclusion is bolstered by this court’s recent decision in Budaj, which also relied on Fogarty and Buck to conclude that, at the time of these George Floyd protests in May and June 2020, it was clearly established “that an officer cannot shoot a protestor with pepper balls or other less-lethal munitions when that protestor is committing no crime more serious than a misdemeanor, not threatening anyone, and not attempting to flee.” 86 F.4th at 868‒69 (quotation marks omitted).6

10th Cir. affirms jury verdict against police officer who shot a woman with a less-lethal round while she was filming at a George Floyd protest despite being told by his sergeant not to shoot her.

No QI.

Iran going after Bsky is a genuinely funny waste of resources.

This! Back on old Twitter, I was shocked the Alex Jones interview didn't attract more attention. I think the media still thought Trump was a joke candidate. Perhaps because I was a doomsayer that thought he was going to win, I saw this as a pivotal point of no return for the GOP.

What’s the quickest way to get an administrative appointment? Write some piece for the Chronicle criticizing higher ed. No solutions need be proposed, just dunk on the humanities and you’re hired!

I had students read and brief NYT v. Sullivan for bonus points. 14 turned in assignments. A few were clearly ChatGPT written. Three others wanted to overturn Sullivan because of "fake news."

As a matter of principle, you can either have a dinner that celebrates the First Amendment or you can have a dinner that features Donald Trump. You can’t have both because the president holds the freedom of the press in contempt. www.mediamatters.org/donald-trump...

Somehow I’ve got to cover privacy torts, privacy laws, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and reporter shield in media law class today. In 80 minutes.

Crab grilled cheese at a Nats game remains my favorite - don’t know if they still have it there, it’s been several years

Analysis: Even Trump’s most basic claims about the Iran war can’t be trusted | CNN Politics On Monday morning, President Donald Trump told The New York Post that Vice President JD Vance was already on his way to Pakistan for negotiations with Iran. “They’re heading over now,” the Post quoted...

The word of the President has not just been devalued in 2026, but degraded to the point of distrust.

With Trump, it’s not “trust, but verify.”

It’s “distrust, then verify.”

That’s an epistemic disaster for public health, public safety, global trust in the US, & national security.

Worse to come.

Sorry to be overly sincere for a second, but here's why we decided to persevere through all of the bullshit and take over InfoWars.

There's just gotta be a line somewhere.

Thank you @pablo.show for letting me talk so openly about this.

To be fair, Kash has been in the "file bogus SLAPP suits" game for a while now. www.techdirt.com/2019/11/21/f...

Wait a second. Medieval lawyers got pet dragons?!? (See alt text).

With the help of the Sandy Hook families, The Onion has reached a long-awaited deal to take over InfoWars.

We've enlisted the help of @timheidecker.bsky.social, who will be InfoWars' Creative Director.

Please stand by for more.
