"Masterful Jiu Jitsu, sir."

I have the Nikon 105mm (f2.8) and it's the sharpest lens I've ever owned.

Thank you. You get a remarkably consistent palette and tone, but never dull. And your backgrounds are so soft for 2.8 and 60mm.

I love your work. Can I ask what you're shooting with?

Raskin also discuss impeachment and the 25th amdt with @dahlialithwick.bsky.social on today's Amicus in greater depth.

The klan robe in one's closet isn't made less racist because it hangs alongside business suits.

Watching these games is a stress-free experience, it's like televised hockey wallpaper. Yeah, that was my attempt at glass half-full.

There's also no such thing as embarrassment at FIFA

"Hollywood is just a popularity contest" is what a smug bore like Bill Maher would say, now a paranoid smug bore.

"Using his ... ability to win elections, he started to change the constitution to give himself more power and to take power away from other groups. He started to expand the use of decrees. He turned his ruling party into a rubber stamp"

Yep--ohh, he meant Chavez!

The Prenda Law case featured some of the worst lawyering ever, and by worst I don't mean incompetent. The firm was essentially a criminal conspiracy.

She stood on a journalism best practices soapbox as her basis for spiking it, holding forth on a best practice that doesn't exist.

The rule can't be: Speak Truth to Power... but only if Power Cooperates.

I saw it in real time and thought, oh wow maybe best one ever

I'm curious to what degree "pending" criminal charges stems directly from the arrest that landed them there, such as a resisting arrest charge or nonsense like obstruction etc.

Hampton Sides, The Wide Wide Sea, about the final voyage of James Cook.

By the same author: In the Kingdom of Ice, about an ill-fated arctic exploration in the 1870s

The passive voice here makes it sound like they're all characters in a Coen brothers film, tragic victims of random, quirky fate.
