I'm now a single issue voter, and my issue is getting the NFC East off my television screen

there should be one more second on the clock?

obviously we won't know the final answer until the playoff at the end of the season, but this BYU-Notre Dame game is going to go a long way helping us figure out The One True Religion

Things Gavin Newsom has vetoed this week: -A ban on secretly recording people with smart glasses -A ban on ICE agents working for the state government -A ban on websites selling your data -A bill giving native tribes more say over water rights -A bill protecting transgender healthcare providers

Steelers are going to finish sub-.500 for the first time in 20+ years while Mike Tomlin posts soothing Minecraft tutorials

I miss Mike Tomlin so much during Steelers games. But it's amazing to see him making the most of post-NFL life.

Mike Tomlin is currently giving a tour of his boutique hotel in Minecraft, which has a multipurpose conference room and an appropriate number of public restroom and I’m losing MY MIND

This may be unfair, but I'm morbidly interested in whether certain Cornell faculty are as worked up about this as they were about the encampments

After Marshall and Northern Illinois I'll never take easy wins for granted... But it's hard to even want to watch a game like this ☘️🏈

I got to listen to @chriswarcraft.bsky.social speak at UCLA Law today. I have admired him since he wrote about his blacklisting in retaliation for his support for LQBTQ+ rights for Deadspin back in 2014, and I hope he wins his assembly seat this November. Sometimes, being in law school can be fun.

I'm listening to Macklemore for the first time since high school today

clock at zero, ball still not touched (hard to make out, I get it)

“you have to admit he’s doing some interesting stuff! you have to admit he didn’t get a fair shot before! you have to admit he’s popular!” I don’t have to admit anything, I will always be a hater. he’s not sustainably putting anything together

not to be confused with quesadilla

It's hard to believe that my summer clerkship is coming to an end next week. I have learned a lot about how to fight vigorously and professionally on behalf of my clients, and I am looking forward to taking the lessons I learned this summer and applying them to my 2L coursework. #EJAFellowUpdate

I felt this. Must've been literally right under me, because a M2.4 quake is nothing.

I can't believe my summer with NLSLA is more than halfway over. I am feeling far more comfortable interacting with clients now than I did in May, and I am very grateful to my team for the wide-ranging experience they are offering to me. #EJAFellowUpdate

I think a valuable lesson for us onlookers on the other coast is that the SF DSA would benefit from being more like the NYC DSA. Mamdani and AOC > Dean Preston

Living in Los Angeles and watching election results from NYC: I want what you have. So badly.

Does this still count as a #DosACero game?

Why does Depop allow buyers to make non-binding offers. eBay figured this out years ago.

Just found out I will be observing my first-ever hearing next week as part of my summer clerkship! It's exciting and a little nerve wracking to move from 1L to actual court proceedings. #EJAFellowUpdate

After ICE deported Wendy Hernandez Reyes, it turned her 3-year-old son Orlin over to her sister’s estranged partner, who tortured Orlin and beat him to death. I can’t say what I think should happen to those responsible without violating this website’s TOS. www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

I'm tired of reading about AI. So I wrote about it instead!

LA County Supervisors have more constituents than the governors of a dozen-plus states. Mamdani has more than anyone in the House and a lot of the Senate.

On Reddit, Orange County residents are very justifiably angry that local authorities are posting vital evacuation information on X and Instagram…which both require accounts if you want to be able to view videos easily and completely. How many people use neither? This has got to stop.

I've never been to the city of Charlotte but I've flown through the airport at least a dozen times, and I look forward to Bojangles every single time

This is only the third Mother's Day since I lost my mom, and it's wild to me how quickly the holiday lost significance. I didn't even realize it was Mother's Day until the announcement on my flight this morning. Miss you Mom 💜

Not exactly stoked about the direction of our country, but damn if I don't love voting

All I could hear on loop in my head for the four hours of my criminal law exam

what the hell is this framing of Callais by the @nytimes.com?? the ruling has been near-universally condemned because it's racist and illogical, not because of the "liberal tilt" of most law schools.

For the first time since high school, I took a course that banned devices in class. This meant a return to pen and paper for notes, which was a jarring prospect for someone like me with abysmal penmanship. But it also meant a distraction-free classroom, an environment I came to love.

sad to report that my favorite legal battle of all time has come to a close, also this headline was written specifically to do harm to the @oaklandreviewofbooks.org community

Notre Dame has become the first program to have the first two running backs drafted in the same draft: ☘️ Jeremiyah Love (No. 4, Arizona) ☘️ Jadarian Price (No. 32, Seattle)

The frequency at which March Madness manages to have three or even four games cut to commercial break at the same time makes me feel conspiratorial
