Tom Lehrer, the Harvard-trained mathematician whose wickedly iconoclastic songs made him a favorite satirist in the 1950s and ’60s on college campuses and in all the Greenwich Villages of the country, died on Saturday at 97.
Tom Lehrer, Musical Satirist With a Dark Streak, Dies at 97
A mathematician by training, he acquired a devoted following with songs that set sardonic lyrics to music that was often maddeningly cheerful.

Tom's music played a formative part in my childhood. 😭
My last living musical hero is still my hero but unfortunately no longer living. RIP to the great, great Mr. Tom Lehrer.

This is literally exhibit A for why queer joy is so profoundly subversive. Anger is important too. But joy -- "smiling and talking and crying and laughing" -- that's what the fascists want to stamp out. That's the real challenge to their reign.

Justices Jackson, Sotomayor, and Kagan each wrote a majority decision on Thursday. The decisions provide some insights into their approach in this moment.

DISCOVERY PRODUCTION
Re: Dkt. No. 37
The new presidential administration has made clear that it intends to change the way the federal government operates.
An Executive Order issued on February 11, 2025 seeks to
"commence[] a critical transformation of the Federal bureaucracy" by "eliminating waste, bloat, and insularityLl Exec. Order No. 14210, 90 Fed. Reg. 9,669 (Feb. 11, 2025). It is the prerogative of presidents to pursue new policy priorities and to imprint their stamp on the federal government. But
to make large-scale overhauls of federal agencies, any president must enlist the help of his co-equal branch and partner, the Congress. Federal courts should not micromanage the vast federal workforce, but courts must sometimes act to preserve the proper checks and balances between the
three branches of government. As a group of conservative former government officials and advisors have written to the Court, "Unchecked presidential power is not what the Framers had in mind." Dkt. No. 69-1 at 1.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:36eqtmzysqf7wsslczw4uxcd/bafkreigrp7xgivvh7aatvnkentbh56gczjxkd57cpghqb64xhtp2bqfgbq@jpeg)

Hours later, a conservative judge who tried to intervene warned of his "strong suspicion" that the administration "just deported a U.S. citizen with no meaningful process."

"Biological sex is not binary."
My husband has taught human reproduction and development to the Cambridge medics for over three decades. When people start banging on about "only two biological sexes" he starts with "which sex: genetic, hormonal, or gonadal"?
