Dr. Johnson, here, took too long to feed the paleontology lab's pet cat, who (quite appropriately) shoved those fossils off a table and onto the floor. The algorithm knows this, and thus connects it to "cat." Dr. Johnson will not make that mistake a second time.

With the National Guard patrolling, this shall be known forever as The Battle of the Bilge.

Probably won't help you to hear that I just saw a strange blue Police Box fly past me.

@weissmann.substack.com Listened to the most recent Main Justice episode on Tuesday but I keep forgetting to send this. I wanted to propose an alternate title to the episode because this phrase of yours should really be on T-shirts. "From giggles to triggered."

@jbf1755.bsky.social @hcrichardson.bsky.social My brain is mush. I just had a conversation re: FDR. While I hate the concept, it occurred to me that if all of his writings and speeches were distilled into software, you could interact with it and learn from him. It would be a Fireside Chatbot.

Feel obliged as a longtime "follower" and Main Justice (formerly PDT!) podcast listener to share that "Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water," the adline, was written by...my father. At the time of Jaws 2 he was head of marketing/PR for Universal. 🙂 Thank you for using it!

This is not about A.G. James, who sure seems to be innocent of what they're trying to say she did. But as a general matter, under this DOJ, ham sandwiches have never been safer.

And then it turns off your old "categories," which are often helpful. Their bullying of us through their system is take-it-or-leave-it and it's awful.

Just for record, AG, you could never actually disappoint me except in an over-the-top comical way. 🖖 Another great episode; thank you, you and Andy. (Even if he thinks I'm a "she." It's all good.)

Please tell Ms. McCord that there is no such thing as a bad "doggie podcast audio bomb"and at least this regular listener will always enjoy them. However, you will need to introduce Gigi as your *other* wonderful co-host.

I'm changing careers and studying for a new career as a Big Cat veterinarian. All those leopards eating all those faces can lead to obesity, and I want to help.

This is awesome. My dad took me to my first game, at the Forum, in 1970. I was six. Hooked for life. The Kings beat Montreal. Rogie was in goal. For the Habs. I cherish the memory of the games with him. This was awesome.

@weissmann11.bsky.social From this week's episode of "Main Justice," I think you and Ms. McCord may want to see this old cartoon, which somehow I had in the recesses of my memory and went and found online...

It's a privilege to be able to follow you--wherever you go from here. (And not just because you once promised on That Other Website to wave hello to Silliman for me on a visit to New Haven.). Yours is an important voice.

If I could find a way to get them to you all the way there, I would do it yesterday. But I have a sense that you would not get the correct experience (or anything resembling structural integrity)...

And in my case it's now Gibson, who has become a raging racist and antisemite (I suppose he always was, it's just that until a few years ago he was quieter about it.) But I had to spend two years telling people I'm not related to Sidney Powell, too.

No ref saw it, so there was no call and the guy didn't even get a power play...which is a significant setback for a Canadian. (I'm not one but I'm a serious fan who speaks fluent hockey.

THAT someone saw? I don't even recall a collision during last night's game. (I'm sure there's video, I'm sure it happened, but...). The officials missed McDavid high-sticking (unintentionally) Gavrikov. But THIS everyone saw? It's exhausting.

@weissmann11.bsky.social Is it bad that I think this should have been an illegal play, because I have come to believe to the bottom of my very soul that this is actually two words? Asking for, um, a friend.

How is it possible that the DOJ doesn't have a random (but trusted) staffer sitting next to a computer with his or her finger literally hovering over the "SEND" button as the clock struck midnight? How?

Although I come to realize that my question is internally inconsistent, because they are already "honoring" her three-day delay. Hmmm.

Mel Powell @melpowell.bsky.social · 11/01/2025
Can they stand by the position that she has no jurisdiction and tell her to go pound sand (by ignoring this order), and release the report when the three days expire (or the 11th clears it sooner)? Next week's "Main Justice" episode is gonna be lit again, isn't it?
