Why did I start Muslim Legal? The biggest threat facing American Muslims may not be what you think it is…




Grateful for @ewarren's support. Let's get to work.

I watched The Lion King (1994) recently with my kids. I hadn't watched it since I was probably 8. What an epic movie. It's kind of nuts how epic it is actually. And some points in the score punch way above their weight for an animated movie - the cue "Kings of the Past" is a good example. No big grand takeaway here, was just sort of blown away with fresh eyes by the general epic of this 1990s animated movie.

I graduated college right after I turned 21 with a degree in Chemical Engineering. I looked like I was MAYBE 18. My first job was as a Process Engineer in a factory that made molded polyurethane foam seat parts for cars. The factory had been around for a number of decades, and was unionized (UAW). The average seniority of the union workers was 25 years! I was idealistic and assumed everyone went to work to do a good job and help the company succeed. Boy, did I learn some life lessons those first couple of years! As a Process Engineer my job was primarily to make sure the production line kept running and was making “good parts.” A few months after starting I was moved to the second shift (3-11pm), and once management left at around 5pm, the only non-union workers in the building were myself and the Shift Supervisor. I learned that many of the union workers liked to play games with me by stopping the production line in creative ways. I quickly figured out how to solve the problems they created to keep the line running, but there were some methods they used that - because of the union contract - would require a union maintenance man to come “fix” the issue. The maintenance men of course played the game, too, so would take their time when “troubleshooting” the issue so the line remained stopped for longer. I then realized that in most cases I was better off just fixing the issue myself and have the company pay the union for the inevitable grievance that would be filed. Those experiences very much influenced by views of unions. Ironically, a number of years after I had moved on from that factory, there was a proposed union contract on the table - that they were told needed to be accepted in order for the factory to stay open - that was voted down, so the place in now closed, and has since been demolished. Those were interesting times…




Who voted for this?





When haidt did his research showing liberals are unable to predict what conservatives morality is, it wasn’t just things like explaining the conservative case against abortion, it was also things like “would you randomly kick a dog in the head.” Or “would you stick a pin into a random kid.”


If you've followed this case since December with me, you'll be shocked. Today, all charges were dropped, even the reckless driving ticket. Killed three people and walked. My guess is, he's already back in a truck next to you and your family. @VSPPIO has denied our FOIA request multiple times, citing an active investigation, even though he had been charged. I've refiled it today, since we've reached the end of his justice involvement. We will see what I get.



どこの昭和の商店だよと思ってよく見たら、アメリカでした。アメリカもかつてこのようなグローサリーが沢山あったそうです。 なぜ日本に見えたのかと考えてみたら、コカコーラのマークのついた店の看板かな。 アメリカではもう絶滅しつつある店構えなんですって。


Claude Code wiped our production database with a Terraform command. It took down the DataTalksClub course platform and 2.5 years of submissions: homework, projects, and leaderboards. Automated snapshots were gone too. In the newsletter, I wrote the full timeline + what I changed so this doesn't happen again. If you use Terraform (or let agents touch infra), this is a good story for you to read. alexeyondata.substack.com/p/how-i-droppe…






Trump team did no advance planning for the possibility gas and oil prices would go up if we attacked Iran. Just a stunning level of incompetence that should lead to investigations and firings but won't even be remembered by this weekend.
