I enjoy the very hyped Braves fans directly behind home plate.

I think it’s a good change. When a court has discretionary and non-discretionary dockets, it’s hard to avoid the appearance that the cases they choose to take get more attention than the cases they’re compelled to take. Plus this is actually adding a level of review.

Fox News at my gym did their regular “Comrade Kamala” segment last night. Does anybody really think they are saving bigger attacks for the DSA? Every Dem is going to be labeled the most radical leftist ever, and their policy positions don’t make the least difference.

It’s cute how they insert “President” into the caption and title of this case having nothing to do with his capacity as President. Not even saying it’s bad lawyering! I’ve certainly inserted “Dr.” every time I could in some cases, but left it out completely in others. You do roll your eyes though.

Not that I’m trying to give them ideas, but has there been any real effort to amend Title VII to undo the effect of Bostock? I know Congress doesn’t really “pass bills” or “legislate” any more, but it seems like they would at least attempt this while they control both chambers and the presidency.

Seems accurate but @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social wouldn’t have been my first guess

This discourse is amusing to me since, for better and worse, this is how we got Jon Ossoff. John Lewis/Hank Johnson cleared the field for him in 2017, which he converted into insurmountable fundraising advantage in 2020. You don’t have to like him, but if you do, you like an old-guard anointee.

This outcome is terrible, but appellate courts deferring to a single judge’s factual findings in cases of widespread policy importance is also … not great. If SCOTUS is going to effectively make its own factual determinations, should they do it explicitly? Refer to a special master or something?

I see Bluesky has found its thing to be pissed off about for three hours

FYI the rules link in the heading of Georgia Court of Appeals decisions still directs to the old website, and returns a 404 Not Found. cc @judgedillard.bsky.social

So Ukraine has gamified the war? This is basically the CoD scorestreak system.

Also, I learned working in a bookstore that it’s easy and accurate to judge books by their covers. By which I mean literally the stuff that’s printed/embossed on their covers or jackets. Graphic design, art and blurb choice, colors, fonts. The idiom works better metaphorically than literally.

SCOTUS goes SCOTUS again and decides a case about “gay conversion therapy” where there was no jurisdiction to do so as I wrote months ago: www.dorfonlaw.org/2025/10/law-...

A bit like “intolerance never needs to be tolerated,” “there is no wrong way to oppose fascism” is a good rule.

A big thank you to all of the celebs and artists and writers and athletes who contributed items for our auction to benefit Homes For Our Troops! And to everyone who bid! It makes a real difference to these wounded warriors and their families 🏠 🇺🇸

It’s not the biggest deal, but can we just say “bathrooms that match their gender?” When it’s a cis person, do we call it a “gender identity?”

Decision Desk has called the Georgia PSC race for the Democratic candidates. The polls have been closed for 45 minutes. That's a drubbing.

If there’s a farm bailout, “government finances will look a lot less promising and lead to higher yields on corporate and government debt. .. a new cohort of welfare recipients will have been created, which will be difficult to terminate and will only add to the challenging fiscal outlook ..”

My kids’ dentist’s form asks, “Can we use your kid’s picture in our marketing?” I said no. The form then asks, “Why not?” This was a REQUIRED FIELD. I had to write in an answer to “Why not?” before it would allow me to submit the form.

At least part of the problem is that we usually think of envy as a bottom-up phenomenon so the idea that marginalized groups could be a target of envy seems like a contradiction in terms. But as I've argued elsewhere, "envying down" might be more common than you think...

“afoot” and “hitherto” require their own kind of alchemy here it fizzled

This is precisely the kind of government coercion that the First Amendment was designed to prevent — and media companies need to start standing up rather than capitulating to it.

Such bullshit @hyundaiusa.com builds a 7.5 billion dollar factory then gets fucking harassed by the storm troopers.

trans people before the ban kicks in

That "try harder" is often a useful LLM prompt is one of their more confounding aspects. ChatGPT confidently, and incorrectly, identified this bag. When I said, "no, try again," it got it right! It wants to use less resources, but ends up using more, because it can't tell when it's wrong.

This blows my mind. They must have terrible preorder numbers.

Post a non-religious photo you think of as holy.

More seriously: You cannot reckon with the current attacks on science without reckoning with the recent history of attacks on gender-affirming medicine. Conservatives were validated by the New York Times in a vibes-based overthrow of good science, emboldening them to move on to all areas of science.
