Now I can’t unsee that.
Scott Bessent
Will Ferrell as Harry Caray on SNL
It took a year but I finally put my finger on who I think Scott Bessent looks like in every TV interview.
Nintendo in court:
From the end of the Mahmoud section:
And with almost a month until the filing deadline to primary Mike Rounds for the Senate election this fall.
The clips from these Noem hearings are so satisfying that I should have to verify my age before watching them.
Kansas' invalidation of trans people's IDs is discriminatory and cruel, and undermines other rights like travel and voting. It sets a dangerous precedent that other jurisdictions domestically and internationally should roundly reject. www.hrw.org/news/2026/03...
The clearest evidence yet that he wants to completely destroy his family’s legacy in Massachusetts.
I am still flabbergasted at how many people voted for this
About to do a panel on imposter syndrome and my nagging anxiety is why the organizers assumed I struggle with imposter syndrome, which probably explains why I am the right person to be on a panel about imposter syndrome.
Kansas invalidated a trans woman's license even though she never changed her gender marker.
It's not about the gender marker. It's about targeting trans people and making their lives unlivable.
If Joe Biden had done this he would have been impeached and if Kamala Harris had done this it would have set back feminism 50 years. I am not pointing this out for anyone's benefit but my own because I feel like I am going insane.
To put it mildly, the administration has a lot to answer for domestically and internationally under any of these scenarios.
At least one of these things has to be true: 1) US intelligence was dead wrong about the strikes taking out Iran’s nuclear facilities in July 2025, 2) the administration lied about the strikes in July 2025, or 3) the administration is lying to Congress and the public now.
I refuse to use AI to generate illustrations so my students are unfortunately stuck with the most cringe and poorly made memes that a geriatric millennial can produce.
The strikes on Iran are blatantly illegal. I explained in June why the strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities were unlawful under US and international law. Everything I wrote then is true today, but this is a far larger assault with far graver consequences.

One thing nobody stresses enough on the academic job market is how incredibly fun it is to see your students and mentees succeed.
I really cannot stress enough how a decade ago private business rallied to prevent this from happening in North Carolina and now a well funded campaign against that situation means the federal government will now bar trans people from using bathrooms consistent with their identity.
When I teach Hurley I still use Kent Brockman saying “today everyone is a little bit Irish - except, of course, for the gays and the Italians.”
Is the president mocking the U.S. women’s hockey team on a celebratory call with the men’s team going to attract even an iota of the sustained handwringing that the idea of trans athletes disadvantaging women’s sports has gotten
This is straight up cruel and unusual punishment.
The only thing scarier than an unhinged president is competent people writing unhinged tweets for said president.
I’m sorry but Donald Trump absolutely does not know the word “deleterious.”
It’s spelled “grifts,” actually.
Me to Matthew over dinner: “Yeah but Kavanaugh was a surprise to me because -“
Ellie (interrupting): “Everybody talk about our day? I took a nap.”
BREAKING: The Supreme Court STRIKES DOWN Trump's "emergency" tariffs. The vote is 6–3. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...
I don’t think he needed to add “but I’m no lawyer.” We gathered that!
