A lot of people find intermediate scrutiny mysterious, but it’s just three consubstantial First Amendment doctrines that are fully distinct yet indivisibly one.

My kid asked me why they were called polka dots, and this is legitimately crazy.

Make the knight corner-y, game’s getting ornery.

“Great” in the sense of “as a person.” I’m just okay at chess.

Finishing up a 50+ page legal brief and thinking about the time I dropped an undergraduate class because it had a 15-page term paper.

We offered! The Articles of Confederation gave Canada a free admission, but they evidently declined.

I haven’t reviewed the game yet, but what’s the view on Gukesh playing the exchange variation? Is he scared of Ding’s French prep? Seems risky to play a drawish line with White when Ding has an extra game with White.

John Stossel did a segment on Florida's ban on cultivated meat. @ij.org is challenging the law in court. It's remarkable how candid the cattlemen's lobbyist is that the law is about protecting ranchers, not consumers. www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Kse...

I'm guessing the odds are about 99% that this guy watched this morning's game. But I'm proud to say that I played just like Ding.

All I want is for my pieces to coordinate as well as Ding Liren’s Horsey Hook.

Yesterday the Supreme Court received a whopping 27 amicus briefs supporting Texas’s age-verification law for online pornography. I think it speaks to the weakness of the government’s argument that so few address the actual legal issue in the case. www.supremecourt.gov/search.aspx?...

I’ve just learned that the games in the upcoming chess world championship start at 4:00 a.m. ET. Gonna be a long tournament for Americans who want to avoid spoilers

from time to time, IJ hosts “master classes,” where we can teach our colleagues something we know a lot about unrelated to work. Next month I’m doing one on chess and will be going over the Opera Game move by move.

I strongly encourage everyone to go into settings, my saved feeds, and then unpin “discover.” Like Twitter’s “For You” feed, it thrives on polarization and collective outrage. That’s unhealthy even if you agree with the sentiments. Use this platform in healthier ways than the last one.

Since nobody actually follows me here, maybe I'll start using swears.
