my children's attitude towards their school policies handbook changed when I pointed out it was also the weapon for them to make their complaints known. Sorry to the teachers for that one.

Even your Forgotten Realms lawyers know every day is shut the fuck up Friday.

He'd gone to the Helm & Cloak tavern for a drink after a miserable day on the magistrate's bench. The main case had been three hunters brought up for poaching deer from a noble estate. It was an open-and-shut case. The poachers had freely admitted it, saying that there were plenty of deer, and the nobles obviously weren't using them, so what was the harm? Their legal counsel had first tried frantically to shush them, then tried to argue that they were speaking in the abstract, then finally sat with her head in her hands, her shoulders slumped in de-spair.
The penalty for poaching was death. Specifically, hanging.

Wrote about the decline and fall of SCOTUSblog, which used to be the single best resource for Supreme Court stuff, and (thanks to some intervening crimes committed by its co-founder) is now a weird platform for conservative pundits to talk about what a good job the conservative justices are doing

Siri, show me the deliberate destruction of eight decades of American-led international diplomacy and cooperation in one photograph:

Screenshot of a September 28, 2026, post on ex-Twitter by right-wing foreign policy analyst, professor, author and former Trump Department of Defense senior policy adviser Matthew Koenig, showing the lobby of the US State Department adorned with 200 American flags:

“The US State Department lobby used to display the flags of the roughly 200 countries with which the US maintains diplomatic relations. Now, it displays 200 American flags, to remind State Department employees who they work for.”

Watchers is a mediocre horror/thriller novel with not great characterization that I will always enjoy because there's an intelligent golden retriever in it. I realize this is my fault and this is how Dean Koontz made bank.

I don't listen to car radio and while it's certainly possible i've heard a snippet of it, the only music I listen to is from curated pandora streams, youtube lists, or my own mp3s. I don't think radio, especially top 100 formats, is as prevalent today?

This does raise a fascinating question. Can the President ban any members of the press from the WH because their outlets (or even they themselves) published leaked classified information? I mean, according to the case law, he can yank someone's security clearance in retaliation for 1A activity.
