Weird how we don’t see a lot of “in this Detroit barber shop…” pieces

🎤 If you called your dad, he could Stop it all

you know the girl jarvis is singing to/about in "common people"? that's who platner is.

"his background defies easy categorization" it literally does not. he's a upper middle class failson who likes to larp as a blue collar guy. these guys are a dime a dozen.

not just a trumpy law firm, but a firm that has literally represented trump in the past

the level of stupid chaos polis just unleashed is going to get so much stupider

that'll be enough friday news dumps, thanks

Katherine Szarama, acting director of the biologics and vaccines center, is out as well. Karim Mikhail will replace her. Lowell Zeta will replace Jim Traficant as chief of staff. All according to an email sent to staff and obtained by STAT. Story will be updated imminently:

Green Line service advisory: Trains are not running between 10th St Station and Union Depot until further notice due to a mechanical issue. Eastbound trains are currently reversing direction at 10th St Station. Sorry for any inconvenience. -JN

He looks like if someone made him the white Common to pitch a Compaq smartphone.

a lot of people are saying Jared Polis is terrible for commuting the prison sentence of attempted election thief Tina Peters. they are absolutely correct

polis doing this is honestly just catastrophic. just a permission slip to the very worst actors

would lay down a fair amount of money on a bet that elon musk could not tell you anything about the plot of the odyssey

super cool and great to watch polis embolden trump. what the actual fuck.

Six genders: a real hit on Jesus (penguin random house, 2027)

Most people with this much of a humiliation fetish find other methods of enjoying that without dragging the rest of us in.

That’s the one thing I always dinged Drake’s albums on, not enough filler! Now let’s check out these three albums of consistent quality.

normal people mostly quite like Pete Buttigieg and the insane dislike of him by leftists is weird and a mixture of envy and homophobia.

Chuck Schumer Substantially Vindicated

Is the fraud in the room with us right now JD?

As someone pointed out to me offline, this is a really funny typo in Alito’s mifepristone dissent: www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

personally, i would never beclown myself this thoroughly on Al Gore's internet, but WaPo folks are built different I guess.

$1.7 billion taxpayer dollars. In exchange for dropping a sham lawsuit where he was on both sides. To give away to his minions who claim they were targeted by the Biden administration. I want to make a pithy or sarcastic quip here but honestly all I can say is that I'm just so tired.

BREAKING: SCOTUS keeps mifepristone available on current terms, including mailing of the abortion drug. Thomas and Alito each authored a separate dissent. New, at Law Dork:

Justice Alito saying that medication abortion undermines their decision in Dobbs is nucking futts. Dobbs SAID it was returning the issue of abortion to the political process / electoral politics. The FDA is part of that - and the FDA decided to make mifepristone available by telemedicine.

girl are you Christopher Nolan's adaptation of The Odyssey because you haven't even gotten here and a bunch of weird dudes are already whining that you weren't created specifically to meet their expectations

Still miss Nanci Griffith. What a goddamn loss.

this is the content i crave

the best fucking docket alert (dun dun DUNN) I could have possibly asked for

Please do not try to clock “balanced list of threes” as an AI tell because that’s been classic rhetorical structure for going on three millennia and it’s baked into all our writing now, I‘m begging people to read more old things

For @atrupar.com's Public Notice, I wrote about how the administration is engaged in a comprehensive effort to shut the door on higher education for all but the rich.

BREAKING: Judge McElroy quashes DOJ's Rhode Island Hospital subpoena in full, calling out DOJ's conduct as "misrepresent[ing] salient facts" under oath. "[T]he Court GRANTS both Motions to Quash and enjoins the DOJ from seeking or receiving any documents related to this now invalid subpoena."

Not only that: The interpretation would also invalidate executive and judicial appointments made during the Biden Administration. Nullify two years of Democratic control of the Presidency and Congress with “one neat trick”

everything is terrible, but it is also very stupid

JD Vance: "We are totally going after both blue and red states but somehow I will not mention a single red state that is in the crosshairs of this admin, but will make sure to praise Ohio for being 'cooperative.'"

Anytime anyone would like there are SO MANY Rand Paul positive Op-Eds in Reasons archives, the amount of slobbering over that person in that magazine is... fundamentally discrediting.

kinda figured this dude would have already owned boat shoes tbh (no shade on boat shoes as such, given i have several pairs, but srsly)

since it's been a week and a half since the gala can I say I thought it was hilarious that someone popped in to tell me Luke Evans' outfit was a Tom of Finland reference as if the sort of person who'd recap the gala wouldn't also be familiar with Tom of Finland

honestly very hyped for this and honestly very sure i won't make it through an episode without pitching my phone across the room

<grabs the mic> Right wingers loved that they could blame declining test scores on the "closing the schools during pandemic" culture war to cover for their targeted decades long campaign to defund public schools and the media took the ball and ran with it and lots of Ds followed along

I just think it’s really funny when people who make hating Bluesky 80% of their personality also spend vast amounts of the time allocated to their one wild and precious life on Bluesky. When I start hating something, I stop doing it. Which is why I left Twitter.

Hey r/wallstreetbets wrote a comment letter on the SEC's proposal to eliminate mandatory quarterly reporting: www.sec.gov/comments/S7-... I don't know who is authorized to speak for r/wallstreetbets but I am amused

It’s all free and clear now. No preclearance, no effects test, and no partisan gerrymandering claims. Of course, this could still have other problems, but this is absolutely the kind of bullshit John Roberts and Sam Alito have been making possible.

When will death come.

Extraordinarily overconfident in its own abilities and ill-equipped to deal with the legal system as it actually functions?

We need to stop presenting OLC opinions as anything significant. OLC has long been too ambitious in its assessment of executive claims. Given what Trump has done to the entire administration, Bondi initially did to DOJ, and Blanche has done since, they’ve rendered OLC opinions meaningless.

Yeah that’s not how this works.

Treating politics as fandom is making a lot of people a lot dumber
