The Fifth Circuit's upcoming en banc hearing will undoubtedly be the most important federal review of America's money bail system until the Supreme Court chooses to weigh in (which may not happen for a very long time). It's a very high-risk/high-reward case for bail reformers. 1/ https://twitter.com/RMFifthCircuit/status/1365093945731129345
Ca5 has taken en banc - and thus vacated - this decision enjoining the Dallas cash bail system.

Enjoy this amazing thread pointing out how we all learned bits of classical music through our cartoons (especially olds like me).

THREAD: Lots of us learned classical music from watching old cartoons, so I’m going to identify the pieces that frequently popped up.
One of the most recognizable is Franz Liszt’s “Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2,” performed by those great piano virtuosos Bugs Bunny and Tom & Jerry.
Hi, it's me, your neighborhood reasonable adult. I heard Dr. Seuss books were "banned" in a Virginia school district, which surprised me! So, I did what any reasonable adult would do with internet access: I looked it up to get official details. (thread)
Those little chipmunks ah shmawt.
Years ago, my dad bought a squirrel-proof bird feeder that slammed steel doors shut when triggered by squirrel-class weight. The first day or two of use involved surprised-squirrel hilarity – backward-leaping and startle-squawking. By day three, two squirrels discovered that they could hang upside-down from the feeder roof, avoiding the weight-trigger altogether and gorge themselves until they fell to the ground, fat and slow and sated.
I contemplated releasing the cats for battle, but decided that the squirrels had earned their spoils.
Fair play, yard rats, fair play.
