Apologies in advance for what might look like a rambling diatribe going nowhere. But the one thing I know really well - better than almost anyone else - is boxing. And there’s a really valuable lesson from boxing that the Democratic Party needs to learn in a hurry.

Let’s start with the boxing bit.

If it’s “merging at the last possible second into the front of a long line of cars patiently waiting their turn,” I will convert to Catholicism on the spot.

You won’t believe what degrading practice the Pope just condemned

Communication must be freed from clickbait and misguided thinking, head of Catholic church tells journalists The Pope has condemned clickbait as a “degrading” part of journalism, at a private audience with global newswires. Australian media representatives were among those to hear directly from Pope Leo XIV at the Vatican on Thursday with about 150 members of newswire alliance MINDS International. Continue reading...

They’re at least throwing sand into the gears. Don’t underestimate how important it is just to slow these assholes down. Yes, it would be great if SCOTUS wasn’t completely in the tank for Trump, but they can’t hear every case, and the district judges are doing their part to throw the brakes on.

Don’t get me wrong, writing appellate opinions is tremendously fun, and the work product is consistently excellent, but it’s basically the difference between storming Omaha Beach and writing an academic article about the impact of storms on Omaha Beach.

The district court docket is so much more challenging than appellate work. At any given time, you’ve got 500 active matters with a dozen substantive civil motions on calendar every week, not to mention criminal trials and sentencing.

Appellate judges hear a dozen cases every few months.

I’m biased because I clerked in the district court, but federal district judges as a group are the most consistently excellent group of lawyers in the country.

I worked for an appellate judge, too, and there are many great ones, but also a huge contingent of ivory tower arrogant tools.

As a group, District Judges (from across the ideological spectrum!) performing as well as just about anyone right now in defending democratic liberty.

But, Helen, can it tell you about white genocide? Because Elon’s robots can’t do all that other stuff, but hoo boy, they can talk about white genocide.

Everyone, I’m just <sniffs> I’m just so proud of us all.

We finally did it.

LibsOfTikTok finally targeted me.

<single tear rolls down cheek>

I’ve been waiting for this moment for so long <unfolds acceptance speech> and first I want to thank everyone who made it possible: Harambe, Kony2012, my fa

A post from failed real estate agent and local ghoul Chaya Raichik aka LibsOfTikTok targeting me. Text of the post reads:

“Leftist CA State Assembly candidate Chris Kluwe, who promotes the harassment of ICE online, was ARRESTED at a Huntington Beach City Council meeting earlier this year.

Chris was protesting a proposed library plaque that featured a phrase similar to ‘Make America Great Again’

Chris called MAGA a ‘Nazi movement’ before leaving the podium and approaching the council member, where he was grabbed by police and carried out.

This unhinged lunatic wants to be an elected official…”

Thanks for the free advertising, Chaya!

I’ve made one of my closest friends, found out an article I wrote was being discussed on CNN in real time, laughed at a ton of great jokes, and educated the world about the Beastie Boys’ greatness and Floyd Mayweather’s wretchedness.

I also met @ugarles.bsky.social, but hey, nothing is perfect.
