Look at all my trials and tribulations Sinking in a gentle pool of wine Don't disturb me now I can see the answers Till this evening is this morning life is fine

Remember a couple years ago when NBC was still doing live theater on broadcast, network TV, and they did Jesus Christ Superstar? That was awesome

Wheel of Time Season Three. My oldest sister got me a copy of Eye of the World when I was in 4th or 5th grade. I never read ASOIAF, but I know about waiting - Jordan literally died and Sanderson had to write the last three books. Its very good, give it a watch, so it doesn't get canceled.

April is the cruelest month

An admin spox responded. Said critics should pipe down, and focus on "fixing the department" the moment I need some pencil-pusher carrying water for billionaires to tell me how to advocate for veterans, I'll ask See you on June 6th. On the Mall. Be there www.military.com/daily-news/2...

The anti-abortion movement is so often at odds with democracy because abortion bans are unpopular. Wrote about the insidious and frankly disgusting effort by Missouri Republicans to disregard November's successful abortion rights ballot measure & try to reinstate a widely unpopular total ban:

The response should be a variant of this classic:

Trump's lackeys are now nonsensically threatening peer-reviewed academic journals whose recent articles include such titles as "Impact of Empirical Treatment Recommendations From 2017 European Guidelines for Nosocomial Pneumonia" for failing to uphold "viewpoint diversity."

Gun violence is the leading killer of college-aged people in the US. We are failing our young people by allowing this scourge to continue. Text READY to 644-33 if you’re ready to do something about it.

If you are wondering if the person offering an opinion on immigration law is worth listening to, a quick and useful heuristic is look for one of these on the shelf.

has anyone told Kacsmaryk?

I’m about to board my flight to El Salvador, where I hope to meet with senior government officials to discuss the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. I also hope to see Kilmar and check on his condition — and remind him that we won’t stop fighting until he’s home.

networks made of voluntary & sustained relationships among Members of Congress foster greater cross-party cooperation, but the substantive effects of these connections are too modest to offset partisan polarization. journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1...

This is Christina Hammock Koch, an astronaut. She went to space in 2019, and is on the 2026 moon mission (to circle, not land, but still!!!) The statue is in the lobby of her high school, where my kid goes now. One day this year she just walked in the lobby and was like "hi, I used to go here!"

Catchy slogans are hard. The idea has to be simple enough to be shareable and repeatable, but has to fully and perfectly capture the ethos you are trying to convey “Sue fast and fix things” ticks the boxes and should become a mantra in the legal community as a mindset to meet the moment

Found out today one of the dudes on “farmer wants a wife” went to the same jesuit all boys high school I did, and is a scion of an uber wealthy, real estate family, like, genuine St. Louis royalty Not super relevant, but was satisfying to go down the rabbit hole and laugh at the layers of bullshit

BREAKING: Days after a Louisiana judge ruled that the deportation of Mahmoud Khalil can proceed, thousands are holding an emergency Passover Seder at the ICE headquarters in New York City, saying: If you come for one, you face us all.

Shitposting is easy, young man. Governing is harder

Like RFK Jr., Dan Bongino is finding out that selling exaggerated or made-up BS to an audience for years doesn't give you credibility when you can't follow through; it makes them think even *you're* compromised.

This chart but it’s a survey of influencers about military service.

What a slash line. The ratio remains undefeated as a metric for bad takes

we could make this an outback steakhome

Orthodox and Latin churches line up for Easter this year? Nice. Shout out to my Byzantine cousins out there also celebrating Palm Sunday today Do you guys also tie the palms into cute origami crosses for the kids, or stick them behind a cross on the wall at home for the next year?
