I just muted anyone who doesn’t follow me. If you want to troll me on politics, you’re going to have to endure my opinions on DC traffic and the proper way to make pie.

China has detained one of the most important leaders of the underground church. Rev Jin is the father of my dear friend Grace Drexel. Please pray for Ezra Jin, Grace and the family in this hour of trial.

The late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg did several interviews with the Historical Society of the D.C. Circuit from 1995-2014. She stipulated that the transcripts would be available 5 years after her death. Those transcripts are now public. https://t.co/rZG2VK3Ppf H/T @palmore_joe

I welcome the greater prominence of St Michael the Archangel in the liturgy but it is gonna take me awhile to learn anything that has six commas in one sentence.

people keep waiting for the crash because ironically fear feels safer than belief.

To all the people who believe that the victim can sue the government when ICE violates her constitutional rights, I have something to tell you and it's going to make you sad.

This seems just obviously true.

My views on AI: • water issue is fake • energy issue is real, but scaling solar/batteries should address • a valuable, transformative technology • will rot our brains through slop if we let it • data center built out seems a wee bit excessive but who knows • ?? on doomer

"So you built the mightiest high-gabled mead hall ever." "That's right Dave." "And it's renown spread to all the tribes, and it was ever full of glee-song." "Yes, it was Dave." "But you built it right next to the mearc-stepping fiend's fen, right? The grim-mooded kin-slayer?"

I will grant this for a funeral home or hospital, otherwise what the hey?

In 2010, a community fundraised to build a play-area for children. It is now being demolished after a five-year legal case.

This story is bananas: in August they were going to do a $6BN refi. in September they are bankrupt because a creditor dared to ask if they actually have the money/assets they claim to have (spoiler alert: they didn't).

THE single most common error in law practice.

It is scandalous that every big NYPD chief happens to be "disabled" when they retire. Tax free 3/4 of his salery life time benefits... "because of an ankle injury he received on Randall's Island while on duty last year." Bullshit. This is corruption. https://t.co/k0VZOeA1yc
