James GleickThere’s no need for Democrats to pass legislation stating that it’s unethical for a Supreme Court Justice to accept anything of value from someone who has business before the Court, or to rule on any matter involving someone who has given you something of value.

Eric PuryearPart of what makes police brutality and racism so terrible is that, unlike other risks, it can't be escaped.
I can choose a safe car to guard against crashes. I can exercise for heart health.
But there is nothing I can do to guard against racist, violent cops. Even being an attorney who is wearing a suit doesn't help, as I've been racially profiled on my way to court, and physically grabbed by courthouse security on multiple occasions.
@thomasfuchs I’m waiting for baseball team owners to decide shortstop and right field are both redundant—first and second don’t need that shit, and center field can cover right field as well as center
@gregpak it’s probably been lurking, just waiting for you to do that. while you’re getting more sleep it will logon to your iPad, change your password, and order all of the microwave-cleaning products from any vendors you’re logged into with stored credit card info
@mrzaius it was clear something like that was up, from the absolute PITTANCE going to the designated charities
