Me , obsessed with helicopters, explaining why I don’t like the Amarillo-built Ospreys

I predicted that Justice Alito or Thomas (or both) would announce retirement this summer. So I know basically nothing about the Court.

What is a profession where you can make a lot of money without any relevant experience or education or physical dexterity, but where you are guaranteed that no one will ever invite you to use AI?

Anyone posted a link to the indictment?

Oldest asked me tonight why her whole feed is rapture. And I asked whether she knew what the rapture is, and she said “isn’t that the giant revenge thingy?” For someone raised outside the church, she seems to have a strong intuitive understanding of dispensationalist eschatology 🤷🏻‍♂️

Ruin a band with scotus justice Taft Punk

somebody once told me never take Tylenol for a hangover headache because of potential liver damage. I guess that person maybe saved me from autism too, tysm

This is a great time to remind y’all that @colinmcroberts.bsky.social is now running for the 1st district. If Ezra Klein et al want to know what actual Kansans are stepping up to run. colinforkansas.com

Our firm is recruiting again! We’re hiring appellate associates at Wright Close Barger & Guzman at all levels. If you love writing, briefing, and arguing appeals, let’s talk. You can reach out to me directly at my email address on the firm website.

I respectfully submit that this is equally funny if OP is in on the joke or not. #CursedImages

This dad got off EASY and he doesn’t know

Remember “je suis Charlie?”

The censorship will continue until free speech improves

I think it's a sign of how cowed the American media is that we're getting pieces like "you have to understand, in Korean culture, it's considered very rude for someone to lock you in a brutal prison camp for a week for no reason." Like yeah, any free people would be offended by that?

I’m going to be thinking about this sentence for a long time @swin24.bsky.social

In the last few weeks we’ve learned that there are now commercials and we would only be allowed free shipping to one address. I suppose that @rmfifthcircuit.bsky.social and the anvil guy are to blame by making a mockery of the generous return policy .

Why would you make an analog wall clock where the hour hand and the minute hand are of similar dimensions ?

I was not a fan of the victim or his ideas. I have watched the clip where he is responding to Ms Rachel and I do not believe he advocated stoning gay people. He does cite the wrong chapter in Leviticus though.

OK, fine, I'll allow it. It's too fortuitous.

Great that we live in age when legislators can successfully call for firing faculty & administration via tweet because they don’t like what’s being taught in the classroom. www.insidehighered.com/news/faculty...

Kavanaugh in 2023 in the argument on Biden’s loan forgiveness: “Some of the biggest mistakes in the Court’s history were deferring to assertions of executive emergency power. Some of the finest moments in the Court’s history were pushing back against presidential assertions of emergency power.”

In honor of Justice Kavanaugh, I have decided to replace all instances of “shadow” with “interim.” As in, “Chief Justice John Roberts casts a long interim.” Or , “sunlight is always the best disinfectant, but the Supreme Court has chosen to hide in the interims”

I see we’ve entered the False Fall #2 portion of Texas summer.

Ok but 50 pull-ups is really hard. Isn’t 20 the maximum score for the USMC PFT ?

Fountain pen enthusiasts: do you mostly write in cursive? I have been tempted lately, but this morning I realized that I had only ever seen someone use a fountain pen in cursive, and I almost never write in cursive anymore. Haven’t for years .

Looking for something on my old bird account and there were so many h absolute bangers back then

The scene where McNulty and Griggs meet with the profilers at Quantico is one of my favorites

Wut

Putting politics aside , as a pure thought experiment : would current constitutional doctrine allow a blue state legislature to require (old) NFA-style registration and payment of hefty taxes, to possess a semi-automatic centerfire rifle?

I think my caseload is higher than it should be , and there are times when I think my clients would be better served if I had fewer of them. Somebody please explain Abbe Lowell to me ?

They begged me to join their team. Begged me! But I just couldn’t live with myself .

some of you need to make like travis kelce and engage with a tailor swiftly

Making them wear high-visibility vests over camo is such a good joke you couldn’t write it

Starting tomorrow , everything is getting filed the day before it’s due .

It is always 2025 in our house because that’s the last year Japan post would ship Hobonichi planners to the USA

I will grant you bad faith & the presumption of irregularity. Ok? 100 percent agree. But… are we really going to say it wouldn’t be “cause” if it is true?

Is there somewhere to see a list of mortgage fraud referrals by the FHFA Director? Because the three listed in his Wikipedia page kinda look like maybe they aren’t based on evenhanded administration of justice

Today I said Texas’s school cell phone ban is bad and dumb and people on the internet got real mad about it

I now understand why @tressiemcphd.bsky.social limits who can reply to her threads . For someone who writes with such clarity and insight , she has a lot of annoying followers . 😂😭

This was not the experience in Amarillo, which implemented a district-wide ban last year (and a statewide ban this year). Kids hate it. Parents hate it. Teachers and boomer community members without school kids love it.

College drop-off season is tough. Like. I know we are raising them SO they could grow up and move out and be independent. But sometimes it feels more bitter than sweet . 😭

Thinking about Bill Watterson’s lawyer-dad who didn’t live long enough to see “Calvinball” in the U.S. reports

Bro just lost the Lutherans, Presbyterians, and the Baptists let’s go

from chandra manning's wonderful book "what this cruel war was over"

The libertarians want to abolish ice but the reasonable and moderate democrats simply want to abolish masks. They’ll get us all killed lol

GIVE ME THE SHRIMP www.businessinsider.com/radioactive-...

Maybe this isn’t very profound but I’ve been trying to figure out how to articulate it : Growing up, I don’t think we spent enough time learning about how and why fascism was bad independent of the ghastly violence of the holocaust .

Everybody always writing about Amarillo Division cases without ever coming to hang out in the Amarillo Division!

The thing I like about Professor Segall is the way he writes some things I really really agree with and others I really really disagree with. Like Longfellow’s curl-on-forehead girl 😃
