I don’t buy that this was intentionally inserted into the tranche by the White House. Instead, there’s every probability that this public photo crossed Epstein’s email because it was a public photo. So it got the same treatment as everything else in his inbox. Of course, the redactions are illegal…

Donate the proceeds of this misbegotten advertisement to humanitarian relief and then go reflect quietly about the kind of person you believe yourself to be, please.

Similarly, it strikes me that people mistake this muttering troglodyte for a genius only when they themselves have absolutely no inkling whatsoever what genius looks like; this disconnect is an eldritch horror in and of itself

I went to a tippy-top U.S. law school and fell out of love with the legal profession before I even started. Only in retrospect am I able to recognize that I spent three years in ROTC For Neoliberals; my friends have either become what they purport to hate or are somewhere mid-crashout right now.

This is a dreadful way for a professional to behave, Aaron.

This is a dreadful way for a colleague to behave, @jay.bsky.team @safety.bsky.app.

As a random internet stranger who just finished watching a video titled “7 Signs of Undiagnosed Autism in Adults,” this provides an illuminating follow-up thought

Reading this has me gasping in lawyer; one can spend an entire career without encountering authoritative language this perfectly on-point.

What advice would you give constituents of NY-8 who unhappily understand the argument not to endorse, but are desperate for someone to primary Jeffries? It feels like time to at least be coming up with alternatives to Osse—hoping that he’ll run without the endorsement is too speculative for comfort.

The choices to (1) give the source polls different colors despite also labeling them in the legend and (2) make those colors red and blue in a graph about politics really tend to interfere with clarity here

Are you arguing that Hallelujah is NOT about a break-up/fucking, or are you arguing that Hallelujah is about a break-up/fucking AND incorporates all of the thoughtful observations you’ve previously made about music theory and religious history elsewhere?

So you’re telling me that in addition to keeping me safe from journalists making Johnny Cash jokes, I can also count on you to intervene a month after the fact if someone does me actual harm, right after you get around to censoring the Johnny Cash jokes—cool cool cool no notes

Not all heroes wear capes but if I’m being honest I would jump on the excuse to wear a cape if I were you

If only there had been some means of finding them sooner; alas!

It’s enough to make one think this isn’t such a good article. You’d think he might have found the time and space among all the block quotes.

“I know everyone is impressed by that guy who seems to resonate with people, but have you taken a look at this knife fight between someone most people hate and someone most people tolerate at best?”

I appreciate this information! As a voter, my first instinct was “why would I vote to bless past illegal construction?” But if environmental groups say this is the best option as things stand today, I will vote “yes” instead of casting the spiteful “no” I had been considering. 👍
