There’s no “because you’re creeping me out, man” option so I’ll go with “other.”

Mmmm Idk. I’m just a humble law prof who is learning to love football but violating the law really is not like the tush push. At all. 🫠
Excerpt of a Politico newsletter saying: 

The Philadelphia Eagles may have invented the Tush Push, but President DONALD TRUMP has perfected it.

The football maneuver involves packing players behind the quarterback, then using brute force and a bit of deception to thrust him into the end zone or to a first down before the other team fully realizes what’s happening.

Trump has said he’s a fan of the move, sometimes dubbed the “brotherly shove.”

“I hope they keep that play," Trump said when the Eagles visited the White House last year. "I like it. It's sort of exciting and different."

Trump has taken a similar approach on many of his highest-profile projects: Prepare under the radar. Unleash it suddenly, before your opponents can muster a response. Then, when the plan is challenged in court, use any opening to hurtle forward at breakneck speed, making any move to halt the project seem unattractive to judges wary

“What will happen next? “I’ve been thinking about this question, like, structurally. Isn’t the phrasing a bit…passive?” 🔥🔥🔥
An image of the article linked in the quoted post:

What will happen next?
I’ve been thinking about this question, like, structurally. Isn’t the phrasing a bit…passive? No judgment intended at all here, mind. I’m just struck by the fact that it’s posed from a place of observation. The person asking the question is an onlooker, a spectator; they’re trying to anticipate how events in front of us might be unfolding, and guess where the river might flow next. And when we ask ourselves what might come next — for “AI,” for the industry, for the future of our work within both — I bet we could start asking another question.
Maybe it’s this one:
What do you want to happen next?

“Don’t let them smother your dragon fire.” Delightful @pastemagazine.bsky.social interview with Tori Amos.
Screenshot of an interview with Tori Amos:

“I can’t control what they’re doing in New York, in London, in Paris, in D.C., but I can control how I respond to it. I can control whether I allow that to bury my heart, whether I allow that to suffocate my heart and my love.” Losing that is what the Lizard Demons are counting on. They’re counting on us, Amos agrees, to not have the heart to embrace another human being and say, I see you, I hear you, I want to see you, and I want to hear you. “Don’t let them smother your dragon fire,” she smiles.

Just keep thinking about this exchange from oral arguments in Slaughter. “Is the water warm, General?”
JUSTICE GORSUCH: Is the answer perhaps to reinvigorate the intelligible principle doctrine and recognize that Congress cannot delegate its legislative authority?  Is the water warm, General? 
GENERAL SAUER:  Sorry.  What was the last --I couldn't hear the last bit.

Take it from @kellyclancy.bsky.social, writers, you have infinite hearts. ❤️💕
A pic of Kelly's substack that says "This isn’t one of those games from when we were kids where you get to the last bad guy and screw up and forget to duck and you lose your last hearts and bam! You’re back at the beginning of the level. Lucky for all of us, writing isn’t like that. If you start off strong and then all of a sudden your basement is flooding and you have all of these AI cheating cases to adjudicate and there’s a blizzard and you need to shovel your elderly neighbors’ driveways and then you realize a week’s gone by and you didn’t write a word…guess what? You can just start writing again. You have infinite hearts—you start exactly where you left off, and we’ll be super excited that you’re back."
