A year ago I said someone should do Frinkiac for King of the Hill. Well @standard.bsky.social went and DID IT boompane.ordoliberal.com
I’m wild about the cover, I really am. It’s so beautiful.
For everyone wondering when the lunar flyby will be and how you can follow along, it looks like NASA will have live coverage starting at 1 pm ET Monday on YouTube/NASA+
A full disc image of Earth, as seen from the Orion Crew Module. The planet is a pale blue, swirling with white clouds and glowing slightly lighter blue in place from reflected light. At lower left, a large brown landmass is Africa, with Spain and Portugal with twinkling lights where the planet curves. At top right, auroras glow in a thin green glow, just barely separated from the planet's surface. Earth is set against the black of space (pic: NASA/R.Wiseman)
More context on this #Artemis II image:
* This is the night side, lit by moonlight. You can see city lights in Spain & Portugal, & a sliver of day at lower right
* The Sun is entirely behind Earth, which makes it a kind of solar eclipse, but w/ Earth doing the eclipsing instead of the Moon:

"Trump and Bondi briefly sat near each other during the Supreme Court hearing on birthright citizenship, but the president soon switched chairs. Later, Bondi would ask Trump if she could keep her job until the summer. The president declined." (gift link)
One of the fans I spoke with at the start of the World Curling men's championship was really hoping to see a seven-ender. Well, Sweden just put up 7 against Czechia in the 5th end.
Legend. Vic is immaculate at curling broadcasting. Terrific voice and pace and knowing what to ask and how to build tension. A blueprint. Gonna miss him www.tsn.ca/curling/arti...
I went back to capture what the astronauts said in full when the clock was stopped at T-10 minutes and they were asked if they were go for launch:
This is Victor. We are going for our families.
This is Christina. We are going for our teammates.
This is Jeremy. We are going for all humanity.
The past couple of days at the World Curling Men's Championship have been crazy, including undefeated Sweden dropping two games to Switzerland and Canada.

Cartoon depicting a "history" factory, with the quote: "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it" from George Santayana. A student thinks: "Why does this look familiar?" while thinking about the Palmer Raids and Japanese-American Incarcerations, and the cogs of "Bureaucracy" and "Loopholes" stand next to an "ICE" conveyor belt with "Unidentified Agents," "Detentions Without Charge," "Militarized PResence," and "Limited Transparency" on the assembly line. Beneath the conveyor belt, spilled water from a pipe, labeled: "the cracks are showing", and a graph showing "public trust" in the red.
Officials at an Omaha-area high school ordered the student newspaper to remove this editorial cartoon criticizing ICE, then demanded prior review of articles about their censorship. Via @splc.org, which is advocating for the students: splc.org/2026/03/nebr...
Switzerland is making moves at the World Curling Men's Championship in the team's first-ever appearance at the event, being held in Ogden, Utah. The Standard-Examiner took a look at the team before they beat undefeated Sweden today.

"ICE agents will be stationed outside graduation events for the nation’s newest Marines to identify whether any of their family members are undocumented, according to the Marine Corps."
Found a new litmus test for the 2028 primary.
really can't be said enough that this case was decided by the same court that decided plessy v. ferguson. if they could have found a plausible rationale to limit birthright citizenship they would have done it. but there is none! the text is as clear as constitutional language can be.
Here, Attorney has wasted the time and resources of this Court and the Government due to his failure to verify, at multiple points in time, authorities that he submitted to this Court; his doubling-down on that conduct by submitting yet another brief in which he characterized his complete lack of legal research as a “good faith effort;” his characterization of the misrepresentations as “immaterial” and related to “tangential details,” although having never read the authorities and having no basis to make such assertions, Reply Br. 14; and his failure to timely verify and report his knowledge of inaccuracies. Moreover, Attorney has harmed his credibility with this Court. As Attorney signed his brief and submitted it as an officer of the Court, this Court initially credited Attorney with earnest, but mistaken, efforts in offering legal authority to this Court. It was highly disappointing to learn that Attorney’s status as an officer of the Court did not prevent him from blindly submitting erroneous authority and to learn that this Court’s confidence in him was misplaced.
Oh boy. 3d Cir. imposes sanctions against attorney who used AI to prepare a brief "riddled with factual and legal inaccuracies, and then, after being notified, used AI to prepare a second brief with the same problems.
Attorney reprimanded.

The World Curling Men's Championship is nearly here! I'm happy to share some of the things I've been writing for the Standard-Examiner, starting with a fan's guide to attending a world championship. This preview combines my first-hand experience w/ input from commenters on the r/curling subreddit.
Jaw-dropping admission by DOJ to court.
DOJ admits to having repeatedly made "material mistaken" representations to judge - ICE never had authority (under 2025 Guidance) to conduct arrests at immigration courthouses!
DOJ admits court "relied on...prior misrepresentations."
DOJ blames ICE (page 2)
