Worth noting the EPA's brief correctly uses "nitrogen oxide" 7 times, and the EPA submitted a declaration from an official who used it twice. But nobody involved in the majority opinion, Justices and clerks, bothered to take the EPA's brief seriously, and so none of them noticed the error.

when we first launched 5-4, a serious concern was what to do when we run out of terrible Supreme Court decisions. in retrospect it is very embarrassing that we were ever worried.

There have been small children in DC killed by cars rolling through stop signs. Cars are a potentially lethal weapon at any speed.

In DC at least, speed cameras are not in places where you'd be on cruise control.

I just watched an autocorrect change my "These are SO good" to the perhaps slightly different "These are no good." It's all going to end not with a bang but with a wimple.

One reason to support hiring diversity is that it improves an organization’s ability to understand people it might otherwise not and respond appropriately. With that in mind, I believe NYPD needs to hire some officers who could pass an introductory-level college humanities class.

Millennials of my age will remember the endless essays on how "hookup culture" was turning us all into jaded carnal husks. My dream is that one day college students will find discover the perfect ratio between chastity and nasty rutting to shut up our nation's columnists.

It may be that the college students, who learned in elementary school that the government wouldn't keep them safe from shooters or keep them safe from a pandemic or hand them a livable climate, also learned that they keep each other safe, and that no change is scarier than change.

Taking a break every hour or so. Getting a hit of a stimulant that also reduces anxiety. Then we stopped smoking and the number of adult ADHD dx's exploded. Pure coincidence.
