Pete Carroll had the opportunity to kick a field goal and bring the #Raiders within a single score yesterday at the end of the 3rd. Instead, he went for it (4th and 3) didn't get it, and never got closer. Post-game, Carroll said, "If I had to do it again, I would have kicked it. That's on me." 🤡

An absolutely thrilling story, "Inhuman Trafficking" is fast-paced and action packed. I'm one-third of the way through it and I am enjoying every page. Thank you, @mikepapantonio.bsky.social 🛥️ #Booksky #LegalThriller #MTMP

My Los Angeles #Angels stayed relevant through mid-August, culminating in a season sweep of the rival Dodgers on 8/13. But they went 3-10 afterwards and the season effectively ended. ☠️
I'm happy they've moved on from Washington / Montgomery, and it's apparent that GM Minasian should be fired next 👋🏻

My favorite of the four legal thrillers I've read so far by @mikepapantonio.bsky.social, "Law and Vengeance" is a masterpiece. The intriguing story deals with human emotions and revenge. I love being in court with the Deketomis team as they take on the corporations who do us harm 👨🏼💻 #Booksky #Thiller
While only beginning @mikepapantonio.bsky.social's "Law and Vengeance", it's quite compelling and satisfying. I'm significantly engaged with the characters and ever-twisting plot, unsure about what lies behind every fun and exciting chapter. #Booksky 📚 #LegalThriller @ringoffiremedia.bsky.social

Thank you, @carlquintanilla.bsky.social. This made my day! Gin Blossoms are a perfect encapsulation of the era of fun, alternative 90's rock. 🎶
Gin Blossoms release “New Miserable Experience” 33 years ago today.
“I never get tired of hearing it,” Robin Wilson said about fans’ reaction to the album. “I know it’s usually going to be something meaningful about our music that has connected to their lives.”

The biggest tragedy to the opioid catastrophe is that thousands of people died and not one of the suits that allowed that to happen went to prison. Mike

Darkly beautiful, and filled with equal amounts of anger, despair, and hope, @mikepapantonio.bsky.social 's "Law and Addiction" will stay with the reader. A must-read legal thriller, particularly for the youth of America who are on the front lines of Big Pharma's continued destruction. #Booksky 📚

* @mikepapantonio.bsky.social's "Law and Disorder" was a fascinating look into the crossroads of American power: a place where politics, corporate malfeasance, religion, and the law intersect. I was entertained, educated, and enthralled. I can't wait to read the next one. 😀 #Booksky #BookReview 📚
Halfway through @mikepapantonio.bsky.social 's "Law and Disorder" and boy, does "thriller" describe it. Not only am I hanging on every chapter, but I'm learning a ton about the psychology of a trial lawyer. Update to come when finished! 📚 #Booksky #Law #Legal #Thriller @ringoffiremedia.bsky.social

Flew through @mikepapantonio.bsky.social 's "The Middleman." It was a thrilling story that kept me on the edge of my seat for weeks. We are in dire need of regulation if not outright elimination of "PBM"s - Pharmacy Benefit Managers, as their existence perverses our market. #Booksky 💊

With news today that CA Governor Gavin Newsom is urging cities to outlaw homeless encampments, I felt obliged to remove the paywall for my essay below, arguing that criminalizing homelessness is moral and consistent with utilitarianist philosophy. All opinions are welcome 🤓 cc @benburgis.bsky.social
After a few weeks off, we're back this week with an essay on the ethical implications of criminalizing homelessness, with a focus on reducing its prevalence in Los Angeles. Thank you for taking the time to read my work. ✍🏻

Understanding and Solving Los Angeles Homelessness from an Ethical Perspective
Is it ethical to criminalize homelessness by making it illegal to sleep or camp in public spaces?

My favorite sign in today's protest at Rancho Cucamonga, CA. We had about 500 protesters which is quite surprising for a "don't rock the boat" city.
