Lane Kiffin is the Donald Trump of Steve Spurriers
There will never be another like him and it is about time that we all recognize that
Lane Kiffin, on his LSU team walking into a buzz saw early on against Ole Miss inside Vaught Hemingway Stadium.
“The stadium was full an hour early. So, I guess I had to leave to get them to do that.
“You’re welcome”

My wife is the most creative person I’ve ever met, but literally has no calendar.
I am so rigorous about my calendar that I take the time to delete events that do not take place, but I have literally never had a unique thought.
Women who are, ahem, ✨creatives✨ paired with men with massive executive function UNITE! I walk around the house all day thinking “don’t put it down, put it away,” and I’m much better these days. My husband’s natural ability to form systems does wonders for our kids and home management and between four kids and me, we’ve really loosened him up. It’s a great match, with a lot of benefits for everyone, though the adjustment to each other’s styles was rocky. I feel like it’s underrepresented in cultural discourse and products outside of Manic Pixie Dream Girl saves Boring Guy movies. I guess Competent Man Helps ADHD Woman Learn To Plan and She Teaches Him Fun, Magical Things Can Happen Without Plans is a little less compelling as an elevator pitch, but I recommend it for a marriage!

I have the same rules, although As a civil litigator it floats both ways depending on which side I find myself.
If I have the burden of proof, definitely no engineers.
Re what we've seen of the Clancy jurors:
VERY early in my trial career, prosecutors with dozens of trial under their belts gave me some very basic tips on picking a jury. This is very critical in federal court because most federal judges don't give attorneys much time in juror "voir dire." So there were some rules of thumb you tried to live by when evaluating the panel and your options as a prosecutor.
1. No teachers. They spend their days telling children and adolescents what to do, and they after often contrarian in order to show adults how smart they are. They hang up juries more than any other "type."
2. No healthcare workers who are not MDs. Healthcare workers with the most contact with patients are empathetic by nature -- that's why they entered the field -- and are trained to take all info they are given by patients seriously.
Putting it in a very crass fashion, a prosecutor does not want 12 jurors -- you want 3 jurors and 9 sheep. If you convince the 3 jurors they will bring the sheep along in the end.
For a foreperson I was always looking for a blue collar manager -- usually a man. The arch type was someone who could give instruction in a non-condescending manner that didn't seem like overt manipulation.
I didn't like hard science professionals either -- like engineers -- they tend to be too linear in their thinking and resist being convinced by inferential evidence.
The Clancy jurors we have heard from violated my rules. It's hard to be too critical of the prosecutors, however, without knowing who they used their challenges to keep off.
For all we know they were worse.

Thomas Sowell on how modern “liberalism” is different from classical liberalism:
“The term ‘liberal’ originally referred politically to those who wanted to liberate people—mainly from the oppressive power of government. That is what it still means in various European countries or in Australia and New Zealand.
It is the American meaning that is unusual: People who want to increase the power of government, in order to accomplish various social goals.”
