I received a "Critical Account Security Alert" from "Apple."
It purports that someone tried to charge $143.95 to my account and wants me to log-in with my password.
A quick Google search revealed that "$143.95" has been charged to THOUSANDS of Apple accounts.
I hate being scammed by the lazy.

Dan Bongino admitted today that he lied for a living. He explained that he lied, because he was paid to lie. He said we should now believe him, because he's paid to tell the truth.
Oy.

My theory, fwiw, is that Supreme Court Justices are not immune to Twitter brain poisoning. I suspect all six have horrific information environments and have therefore lost the ability to understand the people who don't agree with them.
The part that I can't figure out is what John Roberts thinks he is doing. He used to seem to be a judge who was very attentive to appearances, I think on a theory that you can't draw too much attention to yourself without undermining your ability to continue to shape the law.
Every legal story now is either
