This marketing video for the Royal Armouries in Leeds has made my day. 😂

Elon Musk, who I don’t support, was right to shut down the Brazil offices of Twitter, which I don’t support, even though that means that I, who I also don’t support, can’t post anymore. by Glenn Greenwald

We had talked a lot about all the different things one can do with a law degree, and the ways in which she can use her bio background in a law context. I think your book is going to give her more of the best ideas :-) As they say, the kids are all right.

She's very bright, very verbal - and a woman and of Palestinian extraction, so the state of the world had her thinking hard, I'm sure. An absolute pleasure to write a LoR for her. And she says she's reading Lady Justice as soon as she'd done with the first assigned book.

I want y’all to look at the fruits of the book-banning movement in Texas. A HS teacher shared these images on social media today, saying that these books have been removed from their classroom library and are being “shipped back to the district for disposal.”

Sister Nora, you were the best. (No, I did not explain. I think I offered to, though.)

I used to work with a nun. At one point, when talking about a case where the grandmother sued for custody of the grandchild because the daughter was lesbian, she said "I can't see taking a child away from its mother. And what could two girls do that was so naughty anyway?!"

The front page of tomorrow's @dailytarheel – I shed many tears while typing up these heart-wrenching text messages sent and received by UNC students yesterday. Our campus was on lockdown for more than three hours. Beyond proud of this cover and the team behind it.

One week into the school year, Professor Zijie Yan was shot and killed by a graduate student at UNC Chapel Hill yesterday. Only in the United States are teachers and students so frequently shot. We need change.

The Vegas Strip is currently a river.

It's apparently my Twitter anniversary. Y'all might have noticed that I'm not posting much. I haven't entirely stopped, but I realized I was mostly just shit posting I'm trying to be more active on mastodon... and I'm see a lot of activity on Bluesky, so maybe there too.

LA, please check on your people. A category 4 hurricane is likely to approach the city in 48hours. this is the first time in the city’s history. climate change is real and i don’t think this is unrelated to many other tragic environment disasters and the epic heat wave.
