No shame in feeling scared, overwhelmed and not knowing what to do. To me feeling one's feelings doesn't preclude taking action. These are confusing times. Give yourself some grace.

Absolutely wild that the court accuses the dissent of "fearmongering" with "extreme hypotheticals" when the actual basis for the indictment is a coup attempt that led to an attack on the capitol

New York City’s Police Commissioner Edward Caban has repeatedly used a little-known authority called “retention” to prevent officers accused of misconduct from facing public disciplinary trials. Victims are never told their cases have been buried.

LLMs are useless for lawyering and other tasks involving actual analysis and understanding not because the technology hasn't gotten there yet, but because that's fundamentally not what statistical word association is capable of doing. Not only can't it understand, it's not even trying to understand.

At one of my grad school auditions I overheard the audition monitor tell a parent that he was from Long Island and was majoring in bassoon. The parent, coveting a morsel of small talk, asked “Oh, are there a lot of bassoonists from Long Island?” I felt so bad for that Better Parent’s child.

Changing my mind about Israel was one of the hardest things I’ve ever done, and then one of the easiest. And I guess I just want to say to any Jews who might resonate with this, who might also be exhausted by carrying the weight of justifying the unjustifiable, you can put that weight down. Join us.

losing my mind over the constant shifting from evaluating causes to evaluating people fighting for them. If someone proved every single ceasefire protestor was an anti-Semite that cheats on their exams, romantic partners, and taxes, what would we learn about whether or not to support IDF bombs?

A hallmark of the reactionary movement against it was also police unions and departments and their political allies making the propaganda push that they will stop doing their jobs if citizens aren’t nicer to them. The behavior of a protection racket, not a taxpayer funded service

I am once again begging people with power within the Democratic Party to devise a better strategy for dealing with the right-wing death grip on the courts than "win every election for 30 years and hopefully appoint their replacements." In 30 years of this there won't be anything left to salvage.

When my partner and I saw an off-Broadway quasi-jukebox musical with the artist in the cast, I got a *call* afterward asking what I thought of the show, and I said “actually, my partner has been a fan of hers for years so you should contact them” and then my partner got a call about… subscriptions.
