I've realised I use this site like a 19thC political salon - half to swap the News of the Day and half to mutter "oh I say, very good" at the Witticisms of my Illustrious Compatriots
Neon pixel art of an amazon in a sleeveless leather top and miniskirt with a Y2K-style visible midriff. She has a huge blond pony updo and a big sword.
Pixel character portrait of a woman with a mess of brown hair, big, upturned blue eyes, and pursed, pouty-looking lips.
ASCII art of a a brown-haired, blue-eyed woman stretched out while a bloody dagger hovers over her midriff. She looks displeased about this.

my new zine, Shareware Made Me Trans, is now out!! ~6000 words (and lots of images) on the 90s games that shaped my gender identity, including windows 3.1 amazons, sapphic crpg romances, and my own teenage fetish games.

“Fraudulent messages promising safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz in exchange for cryptocurrency have been sent to some shipping companies... [A]t least one of the vessels, which tried to exit the strait on Saturday and was hit by gunfire, was a victim of the fraud.”
White text on a red background in the typeface from posters for Everything Everywhere All At Once, but it reads "Everything Everywhere Already in Dedekind"
I apologize to everyone who doesn't get this dumb joke.
I apologize even more to anyone who does.
I apologize most of all to anyone who puts any effort into it.
What symbol do you use on the scorecard if the ball hits a goose?
It matters, I think, by whom these defenses are offered. Defenfers who disagree with the scholar, who are not socially close to them, and who are expert on the relevant issues can be more persuasive because there is more reason to think that the defense itself is competent and in good faith.
Rest assured that Tim will still be around to hand out gold statues to authoritarians around the world in exchange for tariff relief
I want to think through the issues in connection with other bar discipline cases, but it seems relevant that Liptak’s status as a lawyer is adventitious. His reporting here was not the practice of law.
@bradwendel.bsky.social’s recent blogging has given me a lot to ponder on bar discipline.
This is actually the normal and legal functioning of a blockade. Blockading ships can order ships running the blockade to stop for inspection - a ship that refuses to stop can be fired upon to make it stop.
Ships with contraband or running the blockade can be seized.
“And I believe Mr. Euripides was guilty of teaching class consciousness also, wasn’t he?”
The cover of Garrett Graff's Watergate: A New History, featuing a black-and-white photograph of a tape recorder.
I added Garrett Graff's _Watergate: A New History_ to my idea shelf. It reads like a bureacratic thriller and brings out how every single stage of the scandal was a struggle over information. Knowledge was a sword, and ignorance a shield.

I know that that ain't allowed.
In some ways it’s very funny that CONTACT was basically wrong: we can save the poetry for reflection on earth; responding emotionally to the majesty of the universe in the moment with own vernacular still hits extremely hard

Bad content drives out good.
Little-known Broadway fact: Merrily We Roll Along initially went back one more year, to 1956, but critics found the original finale song, "Budapest is Rising," to be "a bizarre tonal shift" and it was cut during previews.

The cover of the catalog for "Circa 1492: Art in the Age of Exploration"
New book on the idea shelf: the catalog of "Circa 1492: Art in the Age of Exploration" from 1991–92 at the National Gallery.
There's something striking about seeing the beauty and sophistication of the world's artistic traditions juxtaposed like this.

I added "The trick, William Potter, is not minding that it hurts" from Lawrence of Arabia to my list of quotes. [1] The exchange as filmed [2] is subtly better than the script [3].

Yes. I believe that this is how Bluesky handles blocks of quote-posts: it breaks the link from quoting post to quoted post, so that no one at all can see what it was a response to. It's a healthy way to prevent dogpiling, but it does mean that some posts get cut off from relevant context.
This may be the most anodyne post I’ve ever been blocked over.

This professional norm is a very good one. Going through the citation process helps me catch misunderstandings and small but unjustified leaps in my own reasoning. And preemptively, knowing that I will need to justify everything I write helps me get claims right the first time.
Having a million dollars sitting around is one thing; having a million dollars flow in and out is another. It all depends on the specifics of where the money comes from what it's spent on, and I wouldn't want to commit to a blanket position without knowing more details.
