Alright, George. Ball’s in your court. I expect an announcement next week.

β€˜The Pitt’ Season 2, Episode 10 Recap: Invisible String

It's unusual for an episode of The Pitt to have much connective thematic tissue, but a lot of tonight's show is about how family can both lift us up and tie us down. (gift link)

I do. It think you understood the claim. If your skills rot, you will cease to understand whether the code AI is writing you is any good.

Thanks. I knew about the narrow scope of this case but am not prepared to cut him slack for it. My conclusion is that he’s a hired gun that sometimes argues on the right side (and sometimes not). Nestle was still a company trying to evade justice for child slavery. I would never take that case

The temperature in Gaza has plunged today, leaving Sama'a and her family shivering in the cold. Please give what you can.

Insurrectionist Brunch: Trumpists plotted to deploy military on U.S. soil Before the 2024 election, a cadre of MAGA loyalists met over brunch to plot ways for Trump to use the military domestically.

This is just astonishingly great reporting.

All of the crises the White House has claimed over the last 14 months were planned in advance. All of them.

And however much contempt you have for media outlets who reverently relayed Trump's claim to have no relation to Project 2025, it isn't enough.

Imagining the number of times this lawyer is going to review their draft is delightful.

This needs to be more widely understood: only criminal defendants are entitled to a lawyer. Corporations being sued are not *entitled* to a lawyer. Lawyers voluntarily defend them for money.

Corporations and the law firms defending them intentionally conflate this

not true. public defenders don’t get to choose clients, but in *civil* cases defendants are not entitled to an attorney nor are attorneys required to represent them. He made a ton of $ on that case that he chose to take on. He also vouched for Gorsuch when he was nom’dfor SCOTUS. Verify if you doubt

Most historians trace the origins of the civilizational turnaround in the early 21st century to a single, short writing. None deny it played a major role. Interestingly enough, the writing concerned an extinct domestic species, dog, ancestor of the caninoos that share may of our space pods at night

The Onion headline "Timothee Chalamet Under Fire for Dismissive Comments About Traditional Japanese Puppet Theater Form 'Bunraku'" was liked by Bernie Sanders.

it's like someone approaching Ralph Bakshi's WIZARDS with the seriousness and mastery of James Joyce. pretty much the ideal project, imo.
