Associate Prof at Northern Illinois University College of Law. Constitutional law, criminal law, abolition, philosophy, hoops, video games, puppies (esp. Argo the Floof). Probably nicer than you’ve heard. He/him.
So I thought I was done with 007 First Light. I was wrong. The TacSim stuff is a blast and could easily be scaled up into something like Hitman’s Freelancer mode.

New overnight: Chicago U.S. Attorney Andrew Boutros’ office says the “Broadview Six” prosecutors have self-reported the events of the tainted prosecution to the DOJ’s Office of Professional Responsibility as it argues against a special counsel. Full filing: cst.brightspotcdn.com/98/58/82c837...

The “Broadview Six” are asking a judge to take the extraordinary step of appointing a special counsel to investigate — and possibly prosecute — Justice Department officials in Chicago and Washington D.C. for criminal contempt. NEW from @chicago.suntimes.com: chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...
they are both utterly convinced that their disguises worked and Homer probably still thinks he got away with it
"Good afternoon." "How do you do, sir?" "Sucker!"
The cat, who does not live here, just came in, sniffed the overnight oats I’m eating and recoiled in exaggerated horror. I didn’t ASK you. Get a JOB
In its brief, the U.S. Attorney's Office admits that it began having conversations with Main Justice regarding this case on Sept. 27. The U.S. Attorney admits that he received the Oct. 9 grand jury transcript on Oct. 14, but "has no recollection of reviewing the transcript at that time."
JUST IN: Chicago's U.S. Attorney's Office says a special counsel need not be appointed to look into wrongdoing in the "Broadview Six" case, and that a hearing on sanctions isn’t warranted. background: www.chicagotribune.com/2026/07/02/b...

Tonight we find out whether Michigan voters are bluesky posters or bluesky replyers
YES HENLO HOOMAN PAINT LIKE FRENCH FLOOF
I’m sorry that Emily Wilson didn‘t like Nolan’s Odyssey but I am especially sorry that we’re going to do another week of discourse about it
YES HENLO HOOMAN PAINT LIKE FRENCH FLOOF
Thinking a lot this morning about why high-ranking cops may be feeling like they don't have enough protection.
CPD leaders knew cop proposed hiring hitman to kill fellow detective, new federal lawsuit alleges
The lawsuit alleges an officer faced years of violent abuse and threats at the hands of another detective while top brass and city officials have refused to investigate or discipline him.

A group of high-ranking Chicago police officials are pushing to form their own union, setting up a possible fight with Mayor Brandon Johnson’s administration.
Minnesota law prohibits all state and local units of government from contracting with private prison companies. This, however, is an existing prison and there is no state or local actor involved in the contract.
🚨ICE has awarded CoreCivic $536.2 million to operate the Prairie Correction Facility in Appleton, Minnesota as an immigration jail. The period of performance begins August 11.
Important to underscore that private prisons have long been centrally important to the deportation state. That is why Illinois banned them entirely.
New: ICE recently spent over a billion dollars buying two private prisons that they were already using as detention centers. Officials with the two biggest private prison companies say they expect more such deals are coming.
I can't believe this is a controversial statement. Even the "echo chamber" label people put on This Place feels misleading. As if an app driven by algorithms and bots is somehow better?
I think I just prefer the place that is not run by the Nazi trillionaire
"Bluesky is a political echo chamber" okay but I'm mostly here to chat with fun internet people and post art and make jokes, I cannot stress how much I don't care
Can’t say this works for me. There was no legally salient “finding.” There is a classified executive branch opinion which says that the executive branch is acting legally. I’ll leave you to draw the obvious conclusion.
The US military’s strikes on alleged drug boats have likely illegally killed “individuals who are not involved in narcotrafficking,” Sen. Tim Kaine told the White House, following “a careful review” of classified information he has seen so far.
"Boys and girls, Mrs. Krabappel, I come before you today to solve a riddle that has plagued mankind for centuries. What has four legs and ticks?" "A walking clock?" "I'd wager he has some variety of walking clock in that box." "Bart, is it a walking clock?"
