Neutrals for Pride is so much funnier than canceling the collection entirely. Target has given back what we all lost after coming out: a pair khaki shorts, riding just above the knee.

It is rich for a man who seemingly lacks any idea of what true leadership is and finds himself chasing polls after accomplishing little as Governor to castigate others for not “owning up”. May his 7th place finish in the first primary be well earned sfstandard.com/2025/05/28/g...

Stunning. May was brutal for Trump in federal court: 96% loss rate ⚖️. Even GOP-appointed judges have ruled against the admin 72% of the time. District courts are doing their job defending the Constitution. Soon the Supreme Court may be the only court unwilling to defend the rule of law.

A lecture is a live performance act, somewhere between classical theater and improv. Proper preparation is key, both for the performer and the audience.

This is an extraordinary and courageous piece of writing that wrestles with one of the great challenges of this moment: How do you decide whether to remain a part of broken institutions to try to fix them from within?

Federal judge dresses down Alina Habba: "Your role is not to secure convictions at all costs, nor to satisfy public clamor, nor to advance political agendas. Your allegiance is to the impartial application of the law, to the pursuit of truth and to the upholding of due process for all."

“The fact that someone else finished in front of me didn’t diminish the happiness I felt after finishing that race.” “No one was harmed by Soren’s participation in the girls’ track meet, but we are all harmed by the hateful rhetoric of bullies, like Rep. Libby.”

This is a bummer - but the EBB program’s restrictions seemed designed to make it fail. Even for properties that meet criteria and are selected in a lottery to participate, contractors often indicate that taking advantage of it isn’t possible, resulting in forfeited grants and no safety improvement.
