Would that be a reference to @jd-vance-1.bsky.social

Ouch.

I’ve noticed for a while that some people have a different concept of friendship than I do.

I may need this for wall art in my office.

Good news on NIH grant funding case. In my prior life, I did science. I have an undergraduate degree in science, but was a menace in the lab. Now I'm a lawyer (still a bit of a menace in the lab) and I'm so proud of our profession doing good so science can do good.

So proud of @britshmit.bsky.social!!

Quite dark...

Chicken tacos, with a side of Cheetos.

I made a quick video about media literacy and the misleading Wall Street Journal headline I highlighted this weekend TikTok: www.tiktok.com/@molly0xfff/... YouTube: www.youtube.com/watch?v=qYkR...

I sooo desperately want the word precedent to be used more often.

As promised, I delivered a thunderstorm. SMITE!

Why is germ theory in the same air quotes as "miasma theory," I ask as a historian of medicine who is very very tired

Never, in the history of war documentaries I have watched did the Soldiers Marching in Lockstep ever do well against the U.S. Army when the army decided to fuck up their world. Funny how those documentaries never showed the U.S. Army soldiers marching in lockstep. 😐

What a joyful end of the day.

Maybe it's not too late to become a famous YouTuber. 🤔

Being a billionaire is a voluntary choice. They choose to remain billionaires. If they become the pariahs of our time, they can give a bunch of money to pay for cancer treatment for kids or something radical like that, and cease being a pariah.

I thought that guillotines for billionaires was just communist nonsense insensitive to cultural norms until I was almost 50. Today, I think making a fully functional guillotine should be part of every woodshop class in America.

We laugh, but I teach my students a NY case in which State Trooper A killed State Trooper B when shooting at a guy fleeing a drug bust, and they successfully charge the guy running (who just ran, didn’t shoot) w murder. Not saying they’ll charge protesters for this. But also saying they could.

Despite being among the most "highly trained" officers available, they get into a crossfire, shooting each other. This would have also occurred if they were using metal bullets. 😐

We love stickers at Gracie's. This is one from last year.

Dear Kristi Noem, #NoKings

“Rather than random acts of wanton destruction, we should understand the burning of Waymos as political effigies of tech oligarchy, representations of the public fury that surveillance capitalism’s interests are too often privileged over the everyday common good.” bayareacurrent.com/the-torched-...

I need everyone on Normal People internet to know that American Girl Doll Instagram is doing doll protests today. There are tiny t-shirts and signs. AND THEN I realized it's a joint protest with the Barbie ppl, where there are EVEN TINIER SIGNS.

The benefit of working for a guy too stupid to figure out you're insulting him.

Never let the perfect be the enemy of "please for the love of God, just get rid of him."

That's gonna leave a mark.

Ok degenerate gamblers, how many hours of DNC did the 180As in this formation do in preparation for this parade? I'm setting the line at .75 and encouraging you to bang the under

Today has been hopeful. 🥺

Can't... Breathe...

JD Vance is going to go the way of Dan Quayle. He will run for President, drop out early in the primaries, and on the rare occasions we think of him, we will forever remember him as a couch fucker.

Trump-Hegseth DOD says future war is drones and robots yet they want to destroy US science and limit military and defense industry employment to the jock frat from Revenge of the Nerds 🤷‍♂️ Rainbow-haired pansexual genius kids building murderbots in Cambridge is America's strength

QUEER JOY IS RESISTANCE NO KINGS, MOTHERFUCKERS
