To the couple at tonight’s University of Indiana screening of TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE who were both seeing it for the first time and who were on a date — I love both of you and hope you go the distance.

Here are some nice mushrooms
A log is covered in layers of turkey tail fungi, frost, and moss. Red pine needles are scattered between the rosettes and shelves of mushrooms. All photos by me

 “ Without facts, we're really just in the dark with regard to what the consequences of our actions are ... science really gives us a way to move forward and build that prosperous future that I think we all want to see.”

hey, can one of the reasonable centrist writers condescendingly explain to me again that it is overblown to call these people segregationists?
Interesting. New contracting memorandum from Secy of Defense says military contracts shld stop including language that bars contractors from running segregated facilities.
It’s the 60th Anniversary of “Bloody Sunday” at Selma, and thus the 10th anniversary of President Obama’s speech there, my favorite of all his public oratory, although it reads differently now. 🧵 time.com/3736357/bara...

Some folks were a bit confused by my opposition to my senator's desire to repeal Section 230, especially given what my latest video was about. I'd like to remind you the main point of that video was to encourage folks to exercise their own agency. That very much applies here.
Tired: I don't work at Meta Wired: I don't work in Congress (no but really, PSA - Rep. Moskowitz is a different person than me, no relation)

NEW: Paul Clement urges Judge Dale Ho to dismiss the Eric Adams prosecution WITH prejudice storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
In conclusion, a court has a limited, but critical, role under Rule 48(a)— a role that can be
traced to the Supreme Court's insistence that the courts not simply rubber stamp prosecutorial
dismissal motions, as at common law. In discharging that responsibility, courts can go beyond the four corners of the government's motion, but should go no further than necessary to decide the appropriate remedy. And, here, there is no need to go beyond the publicly available materials to determine that dismissal with prejudice is the proper remedy. Whether one credits the government's motion or the views of prosecutors who resigned rather than file that motion, there is ample reason to dismiss this prosecution with prejudice. That disposition not only advances the liberty-preserving values that animate Rule 48(a) and the constitutional separation of powers, but
also eliminates the distinct appearance problems inherent in a public official serving his
constituents with the ever-looming prospect of re-indictment by the executive on charges already
laid bare in a public indictment.
CONCLUSION
The Court should dismiss the indictment with prejudice.

Endorse—my book (A Physical Education coming May 6 to booksellers near you) is only nominally about lifting weights; the real thing it’s about is that the literal moment I stopped trying to follow all the rules to get respect, I learned IMMEDIATELY I wasn’t getting respect—just conditional approval
One reason I think insecure men are threatened by visibly muscular women is: Men care first and foremost about having the respect and validation of other men. Women are supposed to be objectified, not respected. Muscular women attract the respect of other men, which insecure men crave.
