Long live the jury trial in America.
My office. ❤️
My least popular (and most correct) view is that cars should be automatically limited to the local speed limit. Put the pedal to the floor and you still can't go over 25mph in a residential area.

Asking with sincerity: Have Heather Cox Richardson and Jamelle Bouie ever dedicated a full piece on the devastation in Gaza? I generally like their politics (Bouie’s much more so than Richardson’s) but have they ever?
It has been hard to breathe under the weight of despair about the genocide in Gaza and my complicity as a citizen and taxpayer in the USA. I gave, and hope others will, also.
10 pages in, let’s do this…
Zohran: Imagine living in a city where you can afford your rent, your groceries and even a meal at a restaurant now and then without much stress
Eric Adams: Imagine a platypus so powerful that it could destroy the city. We need more cops
"Israeli soldiers in Gaza told Haaretz that the army has deliberately fired at Palestinians near aid distribution sites..."

Taking up time to take a second photo at the DMV is maniacal

I genuinely thought that this kind of sign was over after 2017/2018. But apparently not…
Andrew Cuomo is the kind of person who, if he received an email from Zohran Mamdani, an email that has Mamdani's name properly spelled in the inbox as well as in the signature line, would reply, "Hi Mr. Zoran Madanee..."
From Mosab Abu Toha’s recent New Yorker piece on the humanitarian crisis in Gaza:
Might be the most unpopular time to say this but I still think Raphinha should win the Ballon d’Or.
A high-speed train ticket in Italy will inform you of how much CO2 emission would’ve been spent if you did thr trip by car or plane.
Florence, Italy:
Go Phils from Rome
International transaction fees are evil.
Missed a flight…
In Montserrat in Catalunya, Spain.
En banc Fifth Circuit overrules decades of precedent and holds that there is no First Amendment right to receive information in a public library.
Very specific messaging found in Gerona, Spain:
Visited the Picasso museum in Barcelona yesterday.

Can you imagine a law student who’s in Con Law being cold-called by the law professor to explain what habeas corpus is and the student gives this answer?
The eyerolls would be unparalleled.
This headline and story speaks volumes about competing priorities that seem to have grown farther apart these days…
Democrats don’t need a Joe Rogan…they need to stop getting in the way of the candidacies of (truly) progressive candidates and of the enactment of (truly) progressive legislation.
Notice how she frames students' opinions as the way they "feel."
Not the way they "think." The way they "feel." A common tactic in oppressive hierarchies that's familiar to students of gender and race inequality.
