I'm going to say one more thing about this. A meta-thing, if you will. I think legal commentators with elite legal backgrounds (all of them, not just Steve) need to reckon with the fact that they have a personal interest in maintaining the panache of their credentials.

Trump II absolutely is a generational national trauma and it makes perfect sense that the (increasingly small) group of people who love everything Trump is doing can't see it that way.

Trump, a man with little ideology other than narcissism, is extraordinarily prone to seeking popularity, and mobilizing public opinion against his abuses is a very worthwhile way to influence his administration’s actions until the time comes that they can all be put in jail.

Wouldn’t Supreme Court expansion destroy public confidence in the Court, perhaps fatally? If you think that anti-democracy Republicans are the only people who matter, then yes. If value the opinion of Americans who support democracy and rule of law, the opposite. It would raise public confidence.

My heart breaks for mathematicians whose lives and careers are being destroyed by AI — and especially this PhD student, who doesn’t even know he is a poet

Kai Shaikh, a Ph.D. student in mathematics at the University of Toronto, also currently at SLMath, observed that theorems are easy to use as benchmarks, but that they capture little of the wonderment at the heart of math. "Just like a photograph of a mile marker can't provide much of the value of actually going on a hike," he said,
"it would seem to me that proofs without stories, or even stories without struggle or mystery, and first glimpses of strange beasts, are not very meaningful or valuable to us humans."

Just so you understand the scale of betrayal: first, our "partners" didn't warn Ukraine about the incoming ballistic missiles, so the air raid alert wasn't activated before impact, robbing people of their chance to survive. Then, Starlink was restricted to stop working at speeds above 100 mph.
