Miles Davis’s Time After Time just popped on my shuffle. It always makes me teary. We saw him at Roseland Theatre in #Portland. And it was a spiritual experience.

Funny story. While I still work in PDX, we moved to Santa Cruz a few years ago. While I think it’s a lovely and remarkable bird, it’s not news when it shows up in our garden now.

This is how we do it in the post-common era. They say that the gates are still open. So it’s all good.

Yeah. No. Seems like you’re overstating and don’t need to. As others point out, you will likely trigger oppositional thinking. Indirect suggestion—what you don’t say—is far more persuasive.

Who knew that you were responsible for the resurgence of American Nazis? If only you had written under the name Biff or Chad, the Republican Party wouldn’t be where it is today. This totally checks out.

Another loss. This one hits hard. Four generations of my family are alumni. Longhorn nation is disgusted.

Good bench. Hope it goes well. (I’m always interested in details and perspectives…makes me better at my craft.)

Also, a seemingly gracious take that it’s not your fault. The latter seemed to come from a place of resignation and also a recognition of history, mixed in with a self-satisfied gentle swipe at American exceptionalism. 4//

Mostly, it was welcome to being a human—our country has been through this before and survived. And you will, too. 3/4

I found myself apologizing a lot—we all did. The reactions—what was reflected back from both Greeks and other Europeans—were interesting. 2/4

David Sugerman @davidsug.bsky.social · 13/09/2026

I was fortunate to take vacation in Greece. We visited with locals and also met many other travelers from other countries. (Fewer Amercians, interestingly.) In any extended conversations with people from other countries, we invariably hit “the situation” with TFG. 1/4

Time Warp is also an acceptable answer, as long as they get the choreography right.

The only thing any Dem leader should discuss with Kushner: 1. Disgorging the profits the family criminal enterprise took; 2. Am25 removal of TFG; and 3. The terms of surrender.

I dunno. I’ve had cases settle just after I bought a new suit for trial. And then I’m like, I can’t settle this case—I just bought a new suit.

I dunno. I feel like it was different before. (I know “real” leftists who don’t know shit *still* say there’s “no difference.”) Or maybe by “ever” you mean since January 20, 2025?

Did you not foresee the rise of the doctrine of vibes? Isn’t that the essence of the Roberts Court jurisprudence? Sheriffs, marshals, and wardens can have vibes, too.

One more interesting point: this spring I sat down with Sharyn Alfonsi of 60 Minutes for an extensive interview about my Epstein investigation. Subsequently, CBS pulled the segment and fired the reporter. The MAGA buyout of media has unquestionably aided the Trump administration’s cover up here.

On our quick visit to D.C., we did the disaster tour: the idiotically damaged reflecting pool, the crane over the demolished East Wing, shut-down Lafayette Park — all behind fencing intended to obscure our view of Trump’s many follies and failures.

In a different time, you could have been collecting notes for your forthcoming dystopian novel. But that genre is on the funeral pyre. Right next to irony

Literally zero COVID deaths in Oregon prisons after the vaccine rolled out. So yeah. I ain’t no doctor with degrees, but it don’t take too much IQ to see That COVID vaccines were and are a lifesaver. Thank you Dr Fauci. May your critics fuck right off and get all the diseases they deserve.

David Sugerman @davidsug.bsky.social · 01/08/2026

We succeeded in obtaining an injunction that required the State to put incarcerated people on equal footing with vulnerable populations. COVID had ravaged Oregon prisons, and incarcerated adults flocked to get vaccinated. After the vaccine rolled out, the COVID death rate plunged to zero. 3/

David Sugerman @davidsug.bsky.social · 01/08/2026

When vaccines became available, the State chose to put incarcerated adults far back in line. Between May of 2020 and January of 2021, at least 38 incarcerated adults had died from COVID. 2/

David Sugerman @davidsug.bsky.social · 01/08/2026

The attack on Dr. Fauci and COVID vaccines are ahistorical. Here is an anecdote about vaccine efficacy. During the pandemic, I served as lead counsel in a civil rights class action for people incarcerated in Oregon prisons. We sought to protect incarcerated adults from COVID. 1/

I made it to the Obama presidential library today. It’s joyful place filled with bright, loving people. It was thrilling to relive the time of hope. But it was dispiriting to think about what we’ve lost. That said, I left feeling inspired and know that all is not lost.

I wonder how “Fauci Takes the 5th” is landing with non-lawyers, specifically those who are non MAGA? Does it mean anything, or is it met with a shrug?

I’ve always thought of myob as passive: butt out and stfu. But here, myob has to be about more than staying quiet: do the work to fix the shit that you broke and keep breaking.

I sort of did that. Betting on yourself feels different. Maybe pure hubris?

I got the right answer for the alcohol/age question, but I wondered if I was missing something, and I was far less certain about vowel/number. (And thumbing out this answer confirms I’m a bit of an idiot. 😂)

David Sugerman @davidsug.bsky.social · 24/07/2026

As an admitted innumerate, I’m keen and afraid to know the correct answer. I have my guess, but odds are that I’m wrong. (If I’m right, I don’t want to be that guy; same if I’m wrong. 😂)

It’s funny…I used behavioral economic theory as a guide and a resource for trying cases. And I felt like I gained a lot of insight until it turned out that so much of the research was tainted.

1200

David Sugerman @davidsug.bsky.social · 24/07/2026

Lots of research out there on loss aversion, some of which may be tainted. But I would be surprised if anyone took the coin toss. Maybe uber wealthy for whom a loss of $1 M isn’t a big deal? Is that even a thing? I wonder what happens if the hypothetical loss is $50K.

David Sugerman @davidsug.bsky.social · 24/07/2026

I feel like I failed as a father because we didn’t switch until our kids were both grown. Not that we knew better. But it makes so much sense that I feel like I should’ve figured it out. (Also, induction rocks.)
