I'll never get over how the best line in all of noir – "I've got eight slugs in me. One's lead, and the rest are bourbon" – doesn't come from Raymond Chandler or Dashiell Hammett, but Calvin and Hobbes

making up a guy is actually a critically important legal technique now
New financial documents show: Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine v. FDA appears more like 303 Creative than we knew. 303 was a case with a real plaintiff and fictional injury; this time Alliance Defending Freedom has brought a case with a plaintiff who seems to exist largely on paper. New from me:
The Sham Group Behind the Biggest Anti-Abortion Case Since Dobbs
The Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine claims to be an organization of doctors worried about mifepristone.

the point where you can no longer trust a government with the basic function of allowing your aid to reach noncombatants is the point where you can no longer justify sending that government anything else
$4bln a year to Israel and it doesn't even buy us the ability to tell them they can't starve kids to death. Pathetic. www.nbcnews.com/politics/whi...

We've reached the last rooms of the dungeoncrawling era, and it's not coming back. Dungeon infrastructure investment was only ever made possible by post-WW2 tax codes and labor laws, which is why their construction collapsed after Reagan; even high-tech volcano bases aren't being made any more.

Young Peter Falk??? 🥵
Tonight in 1968 — Peter Falk made his debut as COLUMBO in PRESCRIPTION: MURDER on NBC.
He would play the character for 35 years.
“He was perfect,” co-creator William Link said. "And then he got better.”

This is the way. If low marriage rates are denying people the benefits of marriage, the answer is not coercing or shaming people into marriage--it's granting those benefits to support the many ways people do build community, stability, and family.
Opinion | Marriage has a monopoly on legal benefits. It shouldn’t.
Marriage isn’t always forever — or for everyone. Our policies should protect a wider array of committed relationships.
