Re-broadcasting. I’m not in DC anymore (and anyway I already have a jealous (wonderful) dog and multiple cats). But Maeve is clearly a wonderful animal who deserves a wonderful life. Maybe with you! And bravo to @normative.bsky.social for helping her. ❤️

With the new academic year beginning, it's time to re-post my favorite passage about law professors: In 1958, the great Judge Learned Hand, then in his 80s, ends a set of lectures at Harvard Law School with a reflection on his professors there in the 1890s. "Go ye and do likewise."

Happy dog day from Sonia, whom I got from the SPCA, is probably pure-bred, and is certainly the sweetest and best trail-dog on the planet. I am so lucky to have her.

A playful pile of fluffy black cats with wide white eyes sits against a dreamy pink, blue, and green background. Yellow text reads “Happy Black Cat Appreciation Day,” with smaller white text beside the cats saying, “May the purr be with you.”

oh man if only somebody had had something to say about this 2500 years ago.

1. King Hûi of Liang said, 'I wish quietly to receive your instructions.'

2. Mencius replied, 'Is there any difference between killing a man with a stick and with a sword ?' The king said, 'There is no difference!

3. 'Is there any difference between doing it with a sword and with the style of government? 'There is no difference,' was the reply.

4. Mencius then said, 'In your kitchen there is fat meat; in your stables there are fat horses. But your people have the look of hunger, and on the wilds there are those who have died of famine. This is leading on beasts to devour men.

Something we need to grasp is that “The Hague” isn’t going to touch anyone related to Trump, absent a civil war in which MAGA is utterly crushed—in which case, international intervention will be entirely irrelevant? Look at how Trump and the GOP behaves *now*. 1/

Lindsey Graham was a horrible person: liar; war-monger; without principle except his own interests and power. He wasn't a patriot, he actively supported Trump in undermining our Constitution & democracy. The world is a better place with him dead, and so his death should be celebrated.

Tolkien couldn't have written the Fellowship of the Rings in the modern era. Because 2 times out of 9 Bilbo would be a Poaster, and so in that crucial moment when Gollum asked his name, he would simply have said it was "Biggus Dickus", and the trail to The Shire would have run cold.

Yes, Swiss scientist Fritz Zwicky coined the term “dark matter” which is impressive, but he also coined the term “spherical bastard” to describe people who are bastards no matter which way you look at them, and I think that should be celebrated more.

Entirely relatedly, is whole milk really so fucking horrible that we have to insist that poor people only buy skim or 1%? Especially to the point of the time that I bought some sad girl her bottle of whole milk because the store was literally out of skim and 1% and she still couldn’t have that?

Democrats in Congress and candidates for it need to be saying loudly to Trump’s cabinet, his aides and the Pentagon over the next few days that “in a few years time there is going to be accountability, including trials and hangings, and you are choosing now whether yours will be among them.”
