For anyone who needs to know it: those clamshell packs of fresh herbs you get at the grocery store make 3TB of chopped herbs. And the one who needs to know it is me, because I forget each year and always buy more herbs than I need. Maybe writing it down here will help me remember for next year.

“After Ferreira was detained, Dos Santos Rodrigues said Michael Leavitt Sr. and his father, Bob Leavitt, reached out to her.”
“‘They just kept saying, ‘Tell her to self-deport,’” she recalled. “Self-deport to where? Brazil is not her home.’” www.bostonglobe.com/2025/11/26/m...

Anyone else watch the first, like, 45 minutes of "If I had legs I'd kick you" and become so overwhelmed with anxiety that you had to stop watching it?

I'm like 90% sure I had a case opposite this guy when he and I were but young lawyers 20 years ago. If he is the one I'm thinking of, and I think he is, I found him to be an unctuous d-bag. Guess he was worse than that. www.dispatch.com/story/news/l...

Not the point of course, but if someone suggested reading a poem before dessert at my family's Thanksgiving dinner someone would ask them what the fuck their problem was and then they'd be called "Walt Fuckin' Whitman" every Thanksgiving for the rest of their days. bsky.app/profile/alex...

Fun thing about Ohio: if a cop shoots someone, regardless of the circumstances, the government takes the position that the cop was a crime victim and their identities are not revealed. Now our Supreme Court has affirmed this.

Realizing that if I tell my parents that, this year, fuck it, I'm just getting Thai takeout for Thanksgiving I (a) will not have to spend two days cooking; and (b) will get a few weeks of peace around the holidays due to the silent treatment they'll give me. Really failing to see any downsides here.

Both of my kids have had school assignments, in high school and in college, in which they're asked to talk to someone who was alive/adult when x, y, z event happened and get their take on the event in question. I don't remember having such assignments in my day, but woof, it makes me feel old.
