Screenshot of an ESPN Monday Night Football interview, with Andy Reid, Travis Kelce, and Patrick Mahomes seated left to right. Reid is wearing a light gray suit, light-colored dress shirt, and red tie that makes him look like he's sitting in an unpleasant deposition. Kelce is wearing a relaxed short-sleeved button-up shirt with a whimsical pattern and a brown newsboy cap that makes him look like he's in organized crime. Mahomes is in a pink dress shirt, slightly darker pink tie, and dark-pink-and-white checkered vest that makes him look like a dandy.

That's a reason to not release the product, to not even make the product. If your lawyers advised it was okay to release the product, fire them. If you did not have lawyers to say this, fire the person who said you didn't need lawyers, hire some, then fire your whole team and pull the product.

I am sickened by today’s attack in Manchester. Antisemitism is on the rise around the world, and we must do all we can to stomp it out. I am grateful to first responders and congregants who showed incredible bravery, and I am praying for those who were killed.

AAUP v. Rubio is out, and look at how it starts. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Ahead of the case caption, a handwritten note: "Trump has pardons and tanks . . . . what do you have?" Judge Young's reply: "Dear Mr. or Ms. Anonymous,
Alone, I have nothing but my
sense of duty.
Together, We the People of the
United States –- you and me --
have our magnificent Constitution.
Here’s how that works out in a

Antisemitism is part of a system of inequalities. Treating it as totally separate minimizes other forms of inequality, builds resentment against and isolates Jews from others we should be in allyship with, and ultimately does far more harm than good to Jews and everyone else.

Joel S. @joelhs.bsky.social · 10d

At my own college, we’ve been told we cannot do trainings for incoming students on other kinds of bigotries, but we can train students on antisemitism. But separating antisemitism from other forms of bigotry is ultimately an incoherent way of understanding antisemitism.

"Long COVID prevalence was 3–10 times higher in individuals with three or more infections than in those with only one recorded infection... The absolute number of thrombotic events among individuals aged >60 doubled from 2020 to 2024, occurring in both vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals..." 😕

Dr Satoshi Akima, FRACP @toshiakima.bsky.social · 10d

We found a link between SARS-CoV-2 reinfection & #longCOVID, & a post-pandemic rise in thrombotic events across all populations, regardless of vaccination or prior infection. Findings support continued COVID diagnosis in suspected cases & mask use by healthcare workers treating respiratory patients

Hi, defamation lawyer here. If you get threatened or sued by the hat-stealing millionaire, feel free to reach out for a consult about how he might have to pay your attorney fees.

alexjungle.bsky.social @alexjungle.bsky.social · Sep 1

BREAKING - The Polish millionaire CEO who snatched a hat from a child on live TV at the US Open has admitted to doing it, is defending his actions as “first come, first served,” and is now threatening lawsuits against critics. What do you have to say to him?

Defense attys who are so transparently joyless & purposeless still confuse me. No care for what matters & contemptuous you exist. I guess some people are ok spending their one precious life as a gaslighting soldier in trench warfare of their own making for the powerful & the corrupt.

Who hurt you?
