He knew. He intentionally stiffed them because he’s an arrogant prick who sues his OB/GYN patients. They repeatedly tried to get the bill paid. Then someone posted their pleas on social media. A bunch of us retweeted it. It went viral. ONLY THEN did this scumbag pay.

Quick story. My op-ed on how corporations that kept their DEI programs performed just as well financially was accepted & factchecked at TIME Magazine. Just needed "pro forma review by the legal department." Suddenly the piece is spiked Why? Benioff owns TIME and wants to ingratiate himself to Trump

New open-access paper: Direct File showed that govt could build its own user-centered platform without relying on contractors. But the product was killed after a DOGE lead spoke with the private tax preparation industry lobbying against a private option. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

The ability of governments to build and sustain public interest capacity partly depends upon the position of private interests, and the ability and willingness of a government to resist private interest opposition.
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) built a digital tax reporting service, Direct File, that created significant public value for users.
Direct File depended upon the creation of internal capacity: a government digital service team that could build digital platforms, rather than procuring a product from private vendors. Government control of the process allowed agile development and iterative improvement that would have been impossible under a traditional outsourcing model.
Long-standing opposition to Direct File by the private tax preparation industry, combined with Trump-era downsizing by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), led to the elimination of the tool.

The right wing crash out over asian students celebrating at a UT football game reveals that all along the true goal of reactionary colorblindness was never “meritocracy” but resegregation. (Gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/1...

Color-blind meritocracy was, for many years, a successful rhetorical strategy for undermining antidiscrimination law and excluding Black people from selective schools and prominent positions. That’s why so many former segregationists seemed to suddenly embrace the concept in the 1970s. For them, resegregation—not color-blindness—was always the goal. As long as the success of some immigrants could be used to paint Black students as undeserving, color-blind meritocracy was good. But now many on the right see a new problem: too many Asian Americans in elite spaces. Their success, therefore, must be portrayed as a sinister theft of real (white) Americans’ birthright.

The declining “social trust” that the administration warned against is, of course, not the fault of these students. The problem is bigots like Bo French who cannot accept into their community people who do not share their race and religion, and those who monetize or otherwise profit from that bigotry by spreading it through social media. Like the proverbial child who kills their parents and asks for mercy as an orphan, they are responsible for the problem they are decrying.

Really perfect economic combo where interest rates are increasing fast enough that homeowners are facing declining home values *and* homebuyers are facing increasing monthly payments. Just pure pain for everyone involved in buying or selling a home right now.

One key point @nicholasgrossman.bsky.social makes here is that if Dems win the midterms (and win in 2028), deploying congressional power creatively to unwind Elon Musk's sway over the government (contracts, etc) will be essential to any reconstruction: www.ms.now/opinion/elon...

Seriously though, Jasmine Crockett would be neck-in-neck, at best, with Paxton. And Talarico likely would not have defeated Crockett but for Carr’s decision to censor his appearance on Colbert, which drastically boosted Talarico’s profile and fundraising

This is not remotely an endorsement of AI. But it is genuinely concerning how advanced it has become. A guy whose legal briefs are usually incoherent nonsense full of typos is suddenly writing like a Supreme Court litigator.

So i saw my first AI legal brief today, a motion to dismiss filed by the defense in one of my cases. It’s truly staggering how good the brief is. I am 100% it was AI generated because I’ve litigated against this guy several times and i’m very familiar with his work product, which is dogshit.
