"woah, hold your horses, champ. Before you run off, let me spend 75 minutes explaining my latest discovery: a kind of gem that turns your pokemon into a Pride float."

SCOTUS reform in '29: - Panels of appellate judges for blocks of cases - No more discretionary the writ of cert, they just take most appeals, then - Alito, Gorsuch, and Roberts are reassigned to the 9th circuit's Anchorage courtroom See @dogsinautumn.bsky.social plan in @liberalcurrents.com

The American military’s most effective adversary is the muscle car revival

It would be good if we did this imo

This week, the Supreme Court finally killed off the Voting Rights Act of 1965. I've spent the past decade studying the VRA and the attacks on it, so I thought I would offer some historical perspective, and where I think we're headed. This will be a long thread; buckle up.

It’s 2003 and she’s looking at a computer screen. She just said “okay…I’m going in”

Wonder if this kinda stuff is related to other things that happened today. Anyway, we should break up the Supreme Court just to be sure

anyway I think this is the best realistic court reform proposal I've seen. double the federal judiciary and make SCOTUS a random draw of the entire federal bench www.liberalcurrents.com/break-up-the...

worth remembering how short and simple the 15th Amendment is, as well as how sweeping its grant of congressional authority is. the idea that this doesn't cover a ban on racial gerrymanders is transparent horseshit

We must break the supreme court

Pond update

You can still do a lot of things with your life, but you will never be able to beat this tweet

liberals have become much more agressive, pushing for sweeping reforms & 'nuremberg 2.0' my latest for @prospectmagazine.co.uk www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/world/united...

In light of the latest revelations of purely partisan motivations, and given their many abuses of their office, @dogsinautumn.bsky.social today argues that it is time to break up the Supreme Court and fix the federal judiciary www.liberalcurrents.com/break-up-the...

Pure heat

Think whatever you want about the guy; his ability to find a stupider option is all-time status. First ballot hall of fame moron.

Just played Pokopia a bit. I knows the Sims ladies have not been this up since they were 13

"Mass immigration is good, socially and economically; is the single most significant factor in America’s current position as the global locus of commerce and culture; we’ve been lucky to have it; and we should want more," writes @felipedlh.bsky.social. newrepublic.com/article/2080...

It’d be dope to have a hambone like MattY’s. You kinda stand on a stump and say the clouds should all look like dinosaurs. That doesn’t do anything. You can’t make the clouds look like dinosaurs. Some do, some don’t, there’s no cloud king. So there’s always your thing to gripe about. It’s the dream

If somebody wrote about me like this, I think I would file a restraining order and issue a preemptive statement apologizing for talking to someone who would ever be that weird, let alone giving them permission to…do whatever this is

This would be the biggest strategic defeat ever inflicted on the United States by a wartime adversary

I can’t wait for everyone to meet Silicon Valley’s next big thing they’re gonna be antisocial and offputting freaks about: Underresearched peptides

are people ready to admit that no one was ever actually that bothered by the word moist?

There’s too much content floating around about how orcas have “never been documenting killing a human in the wild” and “have culture-bound hunting strategies that do not include humans” here lately and it’s starting to feel a little jinxy

There’s something about O4 that just turns guys into this

People might get mad at this but it’s just a cold hard: If Ser Duncan were a real guy he’d be a Limp Bizkit Democrat

Sublime and the Grateful Dead are an example of convergent evolution

Some have said that perhaps Pam Bondi is actually kind of brave for going up there like that, but I told my wife that Dirty Dancing Havana Nights is a sequel so

Yeah man. White foodways are disappearing. Soon there’ll be nowhere left you can eat a nice paste of mayonnaise and meat.

Wow that’s pretty rad my 12yo buddy

In any early 00s tv show if an adult asked a group of kids what they were up to it was considered perfectly reasonable to have the child character answer “just checking out the websites to see what people are saying about stuff people care about”

Extremely minor gripe but one of social media’s most glaring sins for me is getting guys the age of Gene Simmons to type words like hodl

Everyone: Rightfully put off by a deeply, obviously unhealthy lifestyle pitch from a 23yo who is barely old enough to speak to you and probably not actually keeping that lifestyle himself Me: 🐥🐥 “You can’t call it grindcore. Grindcore is a claimed term and you can’t have it.”

Please do yourself a favor and read this @dogsinautumn.bsky.social tribute to Alex Pretti. You won't regret it.

There’s a rally going on in Boston rn and they’re chanting “we’re not cold, we’re not afraid, MN taught us to be brave!” and I might cry

Tom Brady will be having a completely casual conversation and staring at the other person like they’re an adderall he found in couch cushions

So this is like…this is clearly a gambling thing just happening right on air, right

Gonna be crazy when It Happens, but not before there’s already a full blown new religious movement built around the AI voice of Charlie Kirk. Because then the new strictures are gonna have to deal with that awkward John the Baptist -> Jesus thing again

While some are saying they would go back in time and arm the legislatures of the southern Reconstruction Republics with M4s, I would go back in time and arm Ulysses S. Grant with Excel and a cached copy of a modern topographical map of the United States. And also the first thing

1. She was murdered in the obvious attempt to comply 2. Rural areas aren’t “chafing against the political power of big cities.” Our constitution disproportionately favors them. These people just hate cities because of who lives there. Fusion of segregation-brain & that dumb Just Black Coffee comic

This is obviously Miller, a Schmittian who believes sovereignty being able to create a state of exception But 1) the Insurrection Act is not a state of exception 2) The feds can provoke them, but only the people can suspend the status quo 3) They won’t like it if the people decide to do that

I agree that the only solutions to Trump in the grand sense are internal. But I think this is a foolish assumption. It may bear out, but it’s the same logic driving Trump and it’s really stupid to run on assumptions in circumstances without a recent analog

I was struck today by how few politicians lean on the American tradition of political oratory the way Zohran did. The last one to do it well was obviously Obama & lesser speakers spent a decade essentially doing impressions of him. You’re gonna be up there anyway, just put in the reps

So I made my new years stew this morning and the blessings have already begun

Me: is. You: ought?!?!?! Me: no, is. You: OUGHT?!?!?! Me: once again, is. You: OuGhT?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
