Left: the cover of The Social Life of Small Enclosed Spaces, a woman in glasses staring out of a ship's porthole with an expression of "great, another problem." and a red WITHHELD stamp across the sky above her. Right: MOST PEOPLE ARE TOO AFRAID TO READ THIS. ARE YOU? in green, then three checkboxes nobody has ticked: too afraid to read it right now, in three months, forever. Below that, a paragraph accusing you of secretly reading it already. Bottom: a fake comment box asking "Too afraid, or reading it right now?" The book is by Jim Benson. It is on titanauts.com and Amazon. Audio book out in Q4 2026.

The English Premier League finished this year with 14 teams (out of 20) having a goal difference between -10 and 10. In the last five seasons preceding, that number was eight, five, five, eight, and four. What a weird season.

Conspiracy Abolition
Virginia Law Review, 2026
69 Pages

Date Written: July 24, 2024
Abstract
Criminal conspiracy seems as American as apple pie. Every state criminalizes conspiracy, and there are dozens of federal conspiracy statutes. The crime of conspiracy is
the darling of prosecutors across the political spectrum.
It has been wielded against poor Black teens and White TV moguls; anti-carceral and anti-abortion activists; rap stars and a President. Conspiracy's hold on U.S. criminal
systems is firm. This Article seeks to break that hold. The crime of conspiracy promotes surveillance of and violence against poor people of color. It is a menace to freedom of expression, the right of a criminal defendant to confront an adverse witness, and the rule of law. Its purported social benefits remain unsubstantiated; its social costs have been understated when they have not been outright ignored. And it can't be reformed. It should be
abolished.

Chk out my new piece on the first time that CBS sacrificed satire and caved to pressure. It is a good reminder that they may be cancelling Colbert, but satire will adapt and thrive. #colbert #colbertcancellation #satire #smothersbrothers #CBS #Paramount www.salon.com/2025/07/25/s...

Stephen Colbert wasn’t CBS’s first satirical sacrifice

Caving to pressure from two presidents, the network fired the Smothers Brothers in 1969

Just for everyone who sees this? This is exactly the level of rigor and dedication NYT has practiced in regards to its entire body of work on trans kids, affirmative action, and progressive policies. this is what they've always been. They just fluked up where everyone could see it this time.

There will now be 10,000 new ICE agents & 100,000 new detention beds--and few safeguards protecting people from constitutional violations by the feds. Time for states to pass laws allowing people to sue fed agents. Read about it these "converse-1983" statutes here: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

It's no more popular than it was yesterday, and it's just a lot of pieces of paper unless people treat it like something that carries some sort of obligation. That's the way we should be thinking at this point, if we aren't already.

Every member of congress who votes for this reconciliation bill will be voting to cut Medicaid coverage and food assistance for hundreds of thousands of Pennsylvanians. The impact of this vote would be devastating — and it will be on them.

An absolutely remarkable concurrence by Chief Justice Karofsky in the WI Supreme Court case that held the state's total abortion ban is not in effect. CJ Karofsky recounts the stories of women, including her great-grandmother, who died bc of abortion restrictions. www.wicourts.gov/sc/opinion/D...

These women should all still be alive. Their deaths were not
only preventable, they were foretold by the stories of other women from a
century ago. One of those stories involved my own great-grandmother,
Julia Cowan, who met the same fate in 1929. Living in Boston, Julia, a
White woman, became pregnant with what would have been her fourth
child. Desiring to end the pregnancy but having no access to the medical
care necessary for an abortion, she took matters into her own hands and
ultimately bled to death in a Boston hospital. Like so many others, she
died because society did not recognize her as someone with the “dignity
and authority to make these choices.”
