The mistaken identity rule as written seems to only allow the referee to re-adjudicate who is responsible for a given foul, not what other foul may have transpired in a given incident. It applies to the identity of the perpetrator of one foul, not two separate ones.

Has @MLS or @InterMiamiCF said anything yet about Luis Suarez, Sergio Busquets, and co? It happened Sunday night, and still no word. #LeaguesCup

Time is a flat circle: some 90 years ago this week, Anna Freud was arrested by the Gestapo in Vienna and held in detention overnight. It frightened Freud enough to finally put into motion a forced emigration plan. Now, in our time, similarly young scholars are being snatched off the street.

I’m thinking of writing an article that makes the philosophical argument in favor of Cybertruck vandalism, viewed from an ethical perspective. Who’s up for reading this?

Thank goodness we have Thomas Edsall in the paper of record to block quote emails from academics saying things that are plainly obvious. And yes, I really needed 5 sentences from a law prof’s substack to tell me Trump’s world is illusory and solipsistic.

Going forward, I'm calling all bodies of water Gulf of Mexico. Long Island Sound? Gulf of Mexico. Lake Placid? Gulf of Mexico. Chattahoochee River? Gulf of Mexico. My half-full tumbler of Perrier? Gulf of Mexico.

Whenever I would teach Freud’s treatment of the commandment to love thy neighbor from 1930—which simply cannot overcome the “homo homini lupus,” he says—I had Syria in mind.

With respect to the current news cycle: the use of “schadenfreude” is completely inappropriate here, simply because it’s not at all semantically relevant to this scenario.
