Was watching Buffy’s Anya backstory episode. Friend asked why I sighed. “She’s not of a sufficiently high social class to have domesticated rabbits that far north in Europe in that century, but the writers couldn’t know, the paper was only presented at a conference yesterday.” Accuracy is fleeting.

Also really helpful if you're the author of a long thread and want to compile all of your posts for another format. Plus, from an accessibility standpoint, the unrolled thread is much easier on the ears when using text to speech.
Ever see a big thread you want to read, but it just seems too big? That's why I made this tool to unroll big threads. Here I've pointed it at @mollyroberts.bsky.social's excellent coverage of this morning's TRO hearing. See
I’m not saying this experience is strong support for the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis, but I’m not not saying that.
Remember: ICE lied so often about people posing threats to them, to justify their violence in Chicago, that a Chicago federal judge wrote it was "difficult, if not impossible, to believe almost anything" ICE said. Do you know what it takes to get a Fed district judge to WRITE THAT in a ruling?
I don’t know, this could lead to a fun Star Trek discussion. 🖖
“How did the 8yo hear the word ‘procrastinate?’” you ask. Well, my wife was reminiscing about college and something called the Triangle of Procrastination—a chair placed in a triangle of tape in her dorm (not my story). Anywho, that prompted the above question. Now she really likes this new word.
8yo: What does “procrastinate” mean? [A few moments later, after having her question answered and being asked to clean something up…] 8yo: You taught me a new word, and I’m going to use it!
Sure hoping it’s 52 seats. 🤞
I’ll do the same for $98M. ;)
Few things raise the spirits quite like gathering with several hundred folks to enjoy live theater, esp. when you’re flanked on either side by your kids. Fun was had by all.
Out for a walk. Look at that pollen basket.
We have a prism ball in the front room, and sometimes while you’re reading a book, it’s just like wow!
Read this post! David even added a custom AI Law Librarians feed (my new home page <3)

I just live off @lolscotus.bsky.social's posting of laugh lines. ;)
The Economist's forecast now has better than even odds that the Dems could win control of the Senate with 52 seats, which let's be clear, is what they'd really need. 51's not doing it. 🤞
Yesterday, in a faculty meeting (law school) someone was referencing a set of numbers and said, “six, seven.” I made the hand motion, followed by a knowing look with a colleague who also has a young child. That’s it, that’s the scene I’m still thinking about this morning.
