Beautiful "Friso" Texas.

My mom discovered new seasonal petit fours shaped like bunnies at the grocery store, and also discovered she really needs to double-check her autocorrect before sending texts.

One of the low key worst things about our current age is how the worst people you can think of are constantly auditioning for more powerful roles

I'm far from the first person to say it, but if Trump fires Powell, the Liberation Day stock slide will the be highwater mark for the market during the Trump presidency.

Maybe it's just the weight of...everything....finally got to me, but I'm crying laughing at this. Incredible.

I know ONE WAY IT MAY HAVE BEEN PREVENTABLE, actually

I sent passionate entreaties to my two (cursed) Senators today about Kilmar Abrego Garcia. It will likely do absolutely nothing, but doing *something* helps the existential dread a tiny bit.

You can’t do “mass” deportation and give due process, and what conclusion you draw from that says important stuff about your commitment to law.

Replace JD Vance with Selena Meyer and this is a scene from Veep.

I remember last year (maybe the year before that?), I tweeted that Korematsu was never explicitly overruled and a few lawyers disagreed with me on that. SCOTUS could have made the language explicit. They did not. We pay for the sins of the past.

Everything is truly awful when it comes to the US, but here's a ramp I bought for our pool so ducklings and other animals don't get stuck in there
