I wrote a joke about contractual interpretation, but it was ambiguous so the doctrine of contra proferentem required that it be construed against me.

With Korean legislators apparently successfully thwarting their president's effort to invoke martial law for political reasons (and impeachment on the horizon), I can't help but wonder what would happen here if Trump tried to do the same thing....

Yesterday, I quartered a turkey and confited it in duck fat. Today I crisped the skin on the stove top and then rewarmed it quickly in the oven. The dark meat was extraordinary. The white meat was dry. I'm convinced that moist white turkey meat is a myth, just like "compassionate conservatism."

A Trump-appointed judge just struck down a Biden rule expanding overtime pay to 4 million working people. It's really surprising how little media coverage this has received. Trump faced no real questions about this issue during the campaign. 1/ (link) newrepublic.com/article/1886...

A Trump Judge Just Nixed Overtime Pay for Millions—and Media Yawned

Remember the right-wing frenzy over “Rich Men North of Richmond”? Well, this ruling exposes Trump-MAGA hypocrisy on the working class—and reveals a big media failure.

All of this.

Tweet that says if your concern with trans women is that men might claim to self-ID as trans to gain access to women’s spaces and assault them, then your problem is actually with predatory men and not trans women.

@dansavage.bsky.social squalid is an adjective used to describe a place or an environment, but not an activity. A porn booth can be squalid, but eating a pizza in one cannot.

Series of tweets about Columbia from an NBC News reporter.

Tweets noting that NBC's team of journalists witnessed peaceful protests with no harassment of students walking by, and that anti-protest commentators and posters are conflating angry street protests that are happening near but not on the campus with student protests.

Think Universal Basic Income is about handing out free money? Think again. It's a universal investment in unlimited human potential. We can forge a world where every dream has the runway it deserves, no matter the person's starting point at birth. UBI isn't just fair; it's strategically brilliant.
