Chotiner: You've made the claim that no one has ever fed you in your life.
My Cat: Maow.
Chotiner: Yet there's food in your dish right now.
My Cat: Maow.
Chotiner: Let's change the subject to the ripped-open bag of sandwich bread on the floor.
My Cat: Maow.
Chotiner: I have read different things.

Quote from Born a Crime by Trevor Noah: The way my mother always explained it, the traditional man wants a woman to be subservient, but he never falls in love with subservient women. He’s attracted to independent women. “He’s like an exotic bird collector,” she said. “He only wants a woman who is free because his dream is to put her in a cage."

I haven’t read the new interview, but the prior news coverage on this just kept flashing me back to that quote from Trevor Noah’s mother about exotic bird collecting.

This is amazing.

National Academy of Trial Lawyers email for an event on probate law. The subject line is “Next Week - Emily Dies in Paris”. Otherwise a normal looking CLE ad

Damn, you’d think a bunch of trial lawyers would know NOT to post their incriminating plans online

Every agent who participated in this should spend the rest of their life in prison.

If I wanted to hear an old pedophile ramble for hours I’d go to church

TENURED YALE PROFESSOR IN AN OP-ED: In our society we have too often accepted the heckler’s veto, allowing the perfect to be the enemy of the good and making the refusal to forgive our highest virtue

A set of four cake pops that read HAPPY VALENTINES DAY; The first has H, VA, and D; The second has A LEN A; the third has PP TIN Y; the last has Y ES <3. A cartoon below shows a very sad hamster holding up the one that reads PP TINY

I have been laughing at this for a solid five minutes.

me? oh yeah, fine. I'm doing great. just sort of left my body for a second to observe the current moment and my place in it from a high angle, sort of like what I imagine you'd see from a spy satellite? but one that can look through time? but yeah, I'll have that report done by the end of the day

The altnps account is the 13th most followed account on Bluesky and has more followers than every single news outlet other than the NYT, NPR and Meidas Touch on here. They actively spread misinformation and exploit gullible old people for cash. Accounts this unethical do not deserve to exist.

I just woke up from a nap and somehow while I was asleep, everyone on the bus has figured out we are not going to the right place

Winter storm headed for Triangle this weekend, several inches of snow possible The Weather Channel estimates 5 to 8 inches of snow on Saturday night, with another 1 to 3 inches the following morning.

Triangle friends! We may get actual snow this weekend. I know, I’ll believe it when I see it too. But just in case: buy a snow shovel if you don’t have one. Get groceries early, stores will be a madhouse by Friday, and run any errands you were planning for the weekend. Gift link:

I’m terribly sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but this is a “no ethical consumption in premium legal research” dilemma. lawreview.colorado.edu/print/volume...

It seems to perform a letter-by-letter search if you type in anything into the exact phrase box. (Copy/pasting a phrase works fine.) So in the video my example of WTF becomes a search for ‘w and t and f’.

Hey #lawsky Lexis users! Do you get a similar error when typing (NOT copy/pasting) anything into the exact phrase Advanced Search box? Pretty sure this is not “just us”…

Bsky search function taught me that if I don’t fave or save a post, I know I’ll never be able to find it again with less than 10 keyword combos (and will most likely give up in 2 because it will hang up so hard)

Indulgent, maybe?
