The Odessa billionaires are probably the only reason he’s not doing time. The Dems had zero to do with his impeachment. It was all Rs, including his own fucking staff.

The Chris Columbus I celebrate today made Goonies & Mrs. Doubtfire & Home Alone & Adventures in Babysitting and some other movies I no longer watch because of the person who makes the most money off of them. Anyhow, he's still making movies and I'm sure evil in some way, but better than the other.

I have, from time to time, had to advise HIPAA covered entities on what to do when someone asks for the authenticity of a doctor's note. The trickiest HIPAA ground to be on is if it's fake but it IS your patient. The most solid is if you've never seen the patient.

Relatedly, you're not going to find many healthcare providers who aren't using AI in a way you can opt out of entirely. I mean, if AI is filtering all the faxes that come into a facility, there's no way to pull out one person's faxes to sort by hand.

There are some epic Tree Law posts on the Legal Advice subreddit. The giddy joy of the members of that group when someone fucks with a tree is infectious. Long and short: in many jurisdictions the damages are REPLACEMENT VALUE of the tree plus, plus, plus.

Two things can be (and are) true: 1. Judge Reyes let this DOJ get away with too much and needed to come down harder, sooner 2. DOJ will go down for violating the sacred Tree Laws (as they fucking should) bc if there’s 1 area of law you don’t fuck with, it’s Tree Law

Relatedly, I've always been fascinated by the idea that there's a whole genre of movies called "chick flicks" but films that don't even come close to passing the Bechdel test aren't called "dick flicks" or something similar. Probably because it's most of them.

Thing I learn every six months or so: I cannot run the electric kettle and the microwave at the same time. Fortunately just results in a trip outside to the circuit box rather than the purchase of a new appliance.

And this is just funny: he is talking about LONESOME DOVE here:
What makes this all the more remarkable is that the novel’s author, Larry McMurtry, died more than five years ago and isn’t terribly famous.

Okay, I am looking at this gendered reading piece by Ross Barkan and I have many thoughts and questions. Part of the thesis is this:
A more challenging question can be asked: If more books were published by men with explicitly masculine themes, would there actually be a wider male readership? It’s the old chicken-and-egg dilemma. The audience won’t emerge because the product isn’t there, and the product isn’t there because the audience is elsewhere. Men, obviously, can read and enjoy books by women, but there is the sticky biological reality that, on balance, women will probably prefer reading women, and men may prefer reading men. Boys, especially, seem to long for male teachers and role models in the classroom. As they age, and if they want to read, they might be drawn to the fiction of writers like Ernest Hemingway, Raymond Carver, and McMurtry. They might want literature that, at the bare minimum, seems masculine.

The thing about guys like John Gruber insisting that X is where the important conversations happen is that it's not new. Important conversations happened at golf clubs with segregationist policies. Important professional meetings took place at strip clubs (and not that long ago).

I took it in London right before I started Oxford. I was jet lagged, in a shitty hotel, and disoriented. I don’t really remember anything about it other than I eventually went to law school and someone gave me a dean’s scholarship so it must have been good enough.

I stand up, grab the corners of the duvet, pull the cover over my head with each hand in a corner of the cover, and hop up and down until it sort of wiggles into place. Then kneel down and try to army crawl out without fucking it up. Then shake. I pray no one walks in while I’m doing this.

After years of championing "free speech," Texas lawmakers have enabled a dramatic rise of censorship in Texas universities, banning concepts, canceling courses and closing departments seen as "woke," and even using AI bots as censors. All in the name of freedom. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/1...
In other professors’ syllabi, the bot flagged the Pulitzer Prize–winning play Angels in America by Tony Kushner, essays by the Mexican American MacArthur genius grant recipient Sandra Cisneros, and materials related to a class about the Holocaust (that professor was told to drop material regarding Nazi persecution of LGBTQ people).

Putting aside the ideological slant of the new rules, the bot, like many large language models, seems to “hallucinate,” or make mistakes. The AAUP lawsuit lists texts banned for their “sex-based ecofeminist framework” and “gendered ecofeminist frameworks.” These phrases might sound persuasively like academese, but the academics behind the lawsuit had never heard of them; these concepts “do not exist,” the complaint says. Matthew Pehl, a history professor at Tech, told me that he knew several people who’d received reports from the system that were “plainly written by an AI that had hallucinated content or confused content from one class to another.”

I like to think of myself as reasonably intelligent. But then, I was today years old when I realized that it is infinitely easier to use a light saber than anything else to hunt things from under the couch. Relatedly, I found a tape measure that I didn’t know was missing.
