Vivik Ramaswamy’s latest ad is despicable for many reasons, but don’t overlook the fact that it is yet another example of a rich man exploiting a poor or working class person, and in this case, a woman.

On the list of former Cleveland players who have had great seasons elsewhere, Bauers is one of the more surprising ones. I don't mean that in a bad way! Good for him. Amazing season.

This thread is wild and it's just another example of a DOJ that feels completely unrestrained by the courts. But also—can anyone point me to an explainer about why what I understand to be a local golf course is subject to this litigation in the first place?

gm! at 10 I'll be live-tweeting the emergency TRO hearing in Judge Reyes's "courtroom" (this is on Zoom) in D.C. Preservation League v. Department of Interior, otherwise known as the golf course case

My kids (teenagers) have said "search it up" for as long as I can remember at this point. Until maybe a year ago I said "Google it." Now I said "duckduckgo it."

I have a case where opposing lawyers have made a shocking number of filings with fake cases and quotes. This was one of their argument in opposition to sanctions. I was gobsmacked when I read it, and can't believe it's now part of the standard defense.

I genuinely try not to be a cynic. Really! But my immediate reaction to this is that this has all the markings of a sham process, so FIFA can say that Belgium appealed, was heard, and lost. Or that Belgium could have appealed and did not. Tough spot for Belgium to be in! Participate? Or not?

Or, maybe, I've got it wrong. Maybe this is a legitimate process with neutral decisionmakers. Or maybe THAT's wrong too, and this is a way to reverse the plainly corrupt decision to suspend the ban in the first place. Dumb dumb dumb. The appearance of impropriety pervades.

The answer to this for me is a bookcase (shown in a later skeet in this thread) that belonged to my great great great grandfather, G.E. Herrick (1828-1900)

I actually forgot that this bookcase also holds a copy of "Myron T. Herrick, Friend of France." It's an "autobiographical biography" written by a diplomat colleague, based in part on stories Myron had told over the years.

Is it standard practice in soccer TV coverage to mix the booth so low and the crowd so high that you can't hear any of the commentary at all? Or is that just a Fox thing? Been that way for the entire tournament. Super sucks.

I totally agree with this, but I feel compelled to also help people understand the absurd burdens that physicians are under to document patient visits and do paperwork. A doctor I know, who does not even work full time, just *took a week of vacation* to catch up on charting.

Sonja Drimmer@sonjadrimmer.bsky.social

Medical practitioners should be instructed not to be visibly displeased when patients refuse to be recorded and have their words automatically transcribed. Nor should they insist that the transcription will then be checked by a human. If I refuse consent that should be the end of it.

Jeff Nye
@jeffreynye.org

Transcription devices can, in some situations, help alleviate that burden on the provider. But they are treating a symptom, not the cause.

I was reluctant to take it. I didn't have an obvious spot for it, but mostly I was worried that it would be something I'd feel obligated to keep forever.

I'm actually a little surprised to discover that I don't have any photos of the bookcase in my grandparents' house. That house, by the way, was originally built in 1845--which means it was a contemporary of G.E., though he lived about 20 miles to the west. It was expanded many times over the years.

Jeff Nye

My grandpa passed away in 2016, a few months before his 90th birthday. My grandma continued to live in the house and passed away in the spring of 2025, a few months before her 99th birthday.

The house is long gone, but the Western Reserve Historical Society has a photo from the parlor of the "Herrick Mansion." I wish I knew what some of the things in this photo were, especially the art, and I wonder what happened to them.

Jeff Nye
@jeffreynye.org

The bookcase was not in the mansion, at least as far as we know. It was in his law office. And actually, there were two of them. For 43 of my 44 years they resided in my grandparents' home, on opposite sides of the same wall, one in a bedroom and one in a living room.

(G.E. and Myron were rough contemporaries and lived in CLE at the same time, but they weren't especially close on the consanguinity table, and Myron isn't my ancestor. But my mom's maiden name is Herrick, so my dad and brothers and I were sure to get a photo on the Paris street that bears his name.)

G.E's father in law was Judge Sherlock J. Andrews, who was the first president of the Cleveland Bar Association, and one of the first presidents of the Cleveland Society for Savings, which is now known as Key Bank.

One of G.E.'s cousins was Myron T. Herrick III, the American ambassador to France who is remembered today for (among other things) having received Charles Lindbergh--and lending him a suit--when he landed in Paris in 1927

Sean is correct that this is the standard case--but when The Best Judges in the World can't come up with anything more convincing than this, we can and should just reject the argument on its merits and mandate livestreaming.

Sean Marotta@smmarotta.bsky.social

I know most people are not convinced by this On Here, but I will lay out what I understand to be the standard case against livestreaming opinion releases. 1. Opinion summaries are composed by the authoring justice and not vetted by the rest of the Court or those who signed onto the opinion.

Big deal! I was there to see Carlos Baerga hit one *from each side of the plate* in the same inning, circa 1992 or 93. First player ever to do it. (No longer the only, I think.)
