At some point, incompetence and deliberate indifference to the law reaches a point where it is indistinguishable from deliberate misconduct. This is why you don’t hand a complex matter to someone who has never presented to a grand jury before. [contains…

I’m not a big supporter of violence but if the next ten or so strangers to meet Larry Summers just straight-up sucker-punch him in the face I am not going to lose any sleep. [contains quote post or other embedded content]

Every few months some agitated weirdo gets upset at me over the Atlantic post I did about how the prison system ROUTINELY engages in unimaginable abuse and lets people kill themselves, because they read it as ā€œTHERE’S NO WAY EPSTEIN WAS MURDEREDā€ /1

I’m familiar, by the way, with the argument that we just aren’t appreciating the NYT’s subtlety here; that it’s actually a searing indictment of this group of elites, just in a ā€œshow me, don’t tell meā€ kind of way. That take relies on ignoring that it’s in…

Remember that show Dinosaurs? They had an episode where the military had an invasion called Operation We’re Right, which I thought was apt. Never let performatively masculine people name anything. [contains quote post or other embedded content]

It must be magnificent to be these billionaires and foreign countries, all of whom secretly scorn Trump, giving him lavish but vulgar gifts that he doesn’t understand are elaborate expressions of their contempt for him, his taste, his principles, and his…

Summers: I’m so lonely. Friend: Try the apps? S: Ugh. F: Maybe a matchmaker? S: Too elitist. F: So what have you tried? S: Well, I kind of have a dating coach. F: Great! That’s proactive! Does the coach have a philosophy? S: ā€œIf there’s grass on the…

ā€œTrump directed the Department of Justice to pay special attention to figures like Larry Summers and Joe Biden, on the grounds they had refused to answer questions about Epstein. By contrast, he described former President Bill Clinton as ā€˜extremely…

I did a lie detector once. It was when they were vetting me for a security clearance for an anti-terrorism case. The whole process of being investigated and put on the box and questioned and otherwise interfered with was tiresome. I got the clearance and…

We are invited to assume that the New York Times did not know what Epstein was telling Landon Thomas about Trump. I decline to extend that charity. If Epstein wanted the NYT to write about it, he should have made it about a Democrat and gotten a white…

Chomsky’s position on Epstein is that the American public is getting a seriously distorted version of the evidence available, emphasizing alleged rape of children and downplaying or ignoring the crucial U.S. role, direct and indirect, in the torment that…

New York Times social media guidelines prohibit expression suggesting partiality on things like ICE, execution of foreigners in fishing boats, or whether law is a thing. However, tipping off notorious serial pedophiles about other reporters is absolutely…

At the time Alex Acosta — Harvard Law School ā€˜94 — was the new nominee for Secretary of Labor, former U.S. Attorney for SDFL, former law school dean, and former Assistant AG for civil rights, so naturally a very vulnerable person. [contains quote post or…

Going through my father’s things I found my grandmother’s report card, circa April 1916. She got a poor mark in ā€œdeportment,ā€ which is what they called ā€œSocial emotional growthā€ then. Her parents were probably mad — at the mark, not at the concept of…

Everyone is dunking on poor Noah Smith for getting lost and frustrated at Heathrow Airport and blaming him, which is victim-blaming and I am quite disappointed in all of you. Put the blame squarely where it belongs: on whoever failed to pin his name and…

Everyone is dunking on Kim Kardashian. The truth is the California bar is notoriously hard, the pass rate was only 55%, the pass rate for people who didnā€˜t go to an accredited law school is way lower, and lots of very smart and dedicated people don’t pass…

I understand the frustration amongst professional SCOTUS commentators, most of whom are smarter and better-informed than I, when something happens they confidently predicted in the face of widespread concern (or panic), like the denial of Kim Davis’…

Trump is like a toddler: time he spends asleep is to be prized, not resented. Every minute he sleeps is a minute he is not tantruming or breaking things or smearing his own shit on things. [contains quote post or other embedded content]

A few observations about all the sports-betting cases: 1. Most of them bear hallmarks of long-term investigations, so they are probably not purely a Trump administration thing. Biden DoJ started them. Trump admin is definitely putting in lots of…
