if you don’t like the process of writing then don’t be a fucking writer, it’s not that complicated

Hell yeah man, go for it. They’ll love that.

“Many on campus drew parallels between the government’s approach and methods deployed in Nazi Germany.”

“He is not, however, the owner!” “unless and until Congress blesses this project through statutory authorization, construction has to stop!" U.S. District Judge Richard J. Leon, a known user of !!!, blocks White House ballroom action:

FYI: I am going to stop summarizing Supreme Court decisions on here as they come down. One comment has been plucked out of context of all my reporting, misread, and used as the basis of a mean-spirited pile-on. I am not going to subject myself to this. If this was your goal, then congratulations.

I feel genuinely awful for the Noem kids.

Or, at least, strong odds that he received the *initial* assignment in Callais. It's at least possible that he could lose/could have lost it; indeed, we're pretty sure this happened two terms ago in Gonzalez v. Trevino. But as if anyone needs further ominous signs about what's coming in Callais...

SCOTUS sides 8-1 with a therapist who argued Colorado’s ban on conversion therapy violated the First Amendment: www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

"I witnessed lethality. ... This is the American warrior unleashed," Hegseth says after visiting the war zone. This is more fun than a video game for him.

hungary is certainly a model for the american right in the sense that it is a prime example of people who would rather rule in hell than serve in heaven

the way the american right slobbers over this absolute loser is something else

Ohtani is saving his hits for when he’s in DC this weekend. Very considerate of him for me, personally.

Gerald Ford vetoed naming a post office after himself.

Goodell finally managed to get playoff teams on Hard Knocks. He’s at the height of his power.

Four-byline alert: 🚨 “.. A broker for Pete Hegseth, the US defence secretary, attempted to make a big investment in major defence companies in the weeks leading up to the US-Israeli attack on Iran, according to three people familiar with the matter.” www.ft.com/content/744e...

There are at least three things here that would be unconstitutional in the United States, which is saying something.

Dub Gleed

CBS turned their news operation into propaganda, kicked Colbert off the air for making too much trouble, and all that just to have Charles Barkley go on the air on one of their most-watched telecasts of the year and say this lmao

Will Smith go-ahead homer in the bottom of the 8th on his bobblehead night lol

really can't be said enough that this case was decided by the same court that decided plessy v. ferguson. if they could have found a plausible rationale to limit birthright citizenship they would have done it. but there is none! the text is as clear as constitutional language can be.

Loved the movie, but I hope we also get the extended cut on Blu-ray. The Sahara and Antarctica scenes were two of my favorites from the book.

The current American regime is like if the loudest, dumbest, most overconfident longtime sports radio callers took over an NFL franchise

They’re announcing the Dodgers relievers who played in the 18-inning World Series game at the ring ceremony like they’re veterans of the Somme.

This is zuck one month after going on Rogan podcast claiming he would never takedown content based on government requests ever again

Kershaw, Koufax, and Hershiser watching Yamamoto start tonight

It was a scandal in 2016 when Bill Clinton briefly spoke to Loretta Lynch on a tarmac

As silly as it might sound, I really do think Koufax’s simple presence at these games makes them even more significant. Our last living link to a golden age.

The emergency is that they won’t pass a bill with the funding

Finance folks, this might be a dumb questions, but for how long do trading platforms/exchanges keep records of individual trades like these ones?

“France's Finance Minister Roland Lescure revealed on Wednesday that between 30 and 40 per cent of Gulf refining capacity has been damaged or destroyed by Iran's retaliatory strikes.”

probably the most depressing thing I’ll read this week

Trump also weirdly seemed to segue to slamming the 2021 SCOTUS ruling in favor of college athletes seeking more compensation. That was 9-0.

Last night, Trump -- apparently referring to Justice Neil Gorsuch and Justice Amy Coney Barrett, who voted against him on tariffs -- said they "sicken me because they're bad for our country."

Meaningful baseball is back

MLB’s first-ever ABS challenge wasn’t broadcast because Netflix was doing some dumb mid-game manager interview. This whole thing is a mess.

Dodgers opening the season in Tokyo, 2025: Dignified, cosmopolitan, grows the game Giants opening the season in SF, 2026: Unnerving, strange lighting, Bert Kreischer is there

I think they should make the font on the Netflix scorebug even smaller.

I’m glad the Supreme Court ruled that Trump has immunity because I wouldn’t want future presidents to be deterred from showing off this sort of fun memorabilia from their time in office.

Under the Regency Act 1953, however, Melania can’t dissolve Parliament or appoint a new prime minister without a second counsellor of state’s signature.

this goes for so much of the right wing ecosystem. the same guys who scream “DEI hire” would sink to the ocean if they weren’t kept afloat by their far right sugar daddies

had the democrats had a majority at the beginning of 2025 of the same size that the Republicans did, they would have lost it by October of 2025 due to deaths

Just another day discerning the original public meaning of the United States Constitution

A cool anecdotal trend I noticed over the last few years is sports memorabilia vendors regularly stocking WNBA cards. Wasn’t a huge market before Clark, but now I see a lot of activity around it at shows.

everyone who is angry about this should know that they literally can’t do a big chunk of step two, making this a one step plan (and one that’s all told not horrible for Dems)

The Teoscar Hernandez bounce back season is finally here

I wonder what it would be like to have a government that functioned.

I strongly encourage every American to visit the Gettysburg battlefield site, look down from Little Round Top, and decide for yourself whether Lee was a “brilliant military tactician.”

The Supreme Court refuses to review the 5th Circuit's extremely dubious ruling against Rodney Reed's request for a DNA test, which could prove the death row inmate's innocence. (There is a very good chance he is innocent!) All three liberals dissent. www.supremecourt.gov/orders/court...

Interesting how the good war updates happen during/before market hours and the bad ones occur after the closing bell.
