As someone who spends a lot time thinking about the values I want to teach my kid (besides PLEASE DON’T EAT DIRT), the thing I keep coming back to is this: I want him to believe that the strongest, bravest thing he can do is give a shit about other people—especially ones who aren’t like him at all.

A friendly reminder that being a bully or a jerk is not helpful to your clients. You can be zealous and also collegial. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

As governor of Illinois, I’ve made it my mission to make our state the best to call home including for our LGBTQ+ community. No matter who you are or who you love, everyone deserves dignity and equality. Hate has no home here.

I've built a machine that can be Confidently Wrong. It can also make pictures that all look a bit the same, as well as make a video of you kissing any celebrity or person you know. In payment, I'd like to boil the world's oceans dry, & steal all literature. For some reason, my head is not on a spike

lmao no, TikTok users are not moving to Bluesky. They would literally rather learn Mandarin than learn how to read a feed of text posts. This is a millennial retirement home.

So @stevevladeck.bsky.social’s write up of the FedSoc ambush upon him is well worth reading. He’s more temperate about it than I would have been. /1 www.stevevladeck.com/p/109-things...

Today’s “One First” looks at @jodikantor/@adamliptak’s reporting re: behind-the-scenes #SCOTUS machinations in the Trump cases. TL;DR: Chief Justice Roberts appears to have been focused on superficial optics far more than on high institutional politics: www.stevevladeck.com/p/99-optics-...

So grateful to Ken for taking care of himself, but also for being open about his mental health journey. His whole thread is important, but this a key point that everyone should see and take to heart.

America is not perfect. Far from it. But there are ideals worth fighting for, values worth pursuing, even when we fall short. Don’t abandon it to the totalitarians. https://www.popehat.com/p/the-fourth-of-july
