i am so sick of the dumbest people alive being in charge of everything and the second dumbest people alive writing opinion columns about how it's good

Every Pats win is playing with house money as far as I’m concerned. What a season.

The ability to do this was like the single best aspect of living in my boring-ass suburb.

F off, OSU (2026 is all about taking my victories where and when I can get them).

All my love to Providence, RI and the Brown community (I went to high school right across the street from campus and have nothing but fond memories).

One of the fundamental career public defender insights is that the legal system prizes civility and professionalism far more than justice.

I get that some people genuinely think every trans person is mentally ill, or delusional, but if your response to the existence of trans people of that its ok if they get raped in prison, you're a disgusting disgrace of a human being.

These people are practically Bond villains.

My son wants to see the new season of Stranger Things and my daughter wants to see Zootopia 2. My post-Thanksgiving viewing plans are pretty well sorted.

these people need to be disbarred. I recognize that state bar discipline can take time, and I don't think anything should be rushed, but these cases need to move to the front of the line. if they aren't gonna do it for the sake of the country, they need to do it for the profession's reputation.

Oh. My. God.

This, plus the beginning of Watership Down and the entirety of an insane Canadian movie called “The Peanut Butter Solution” (I think). Pure nightmare fuel.

Honestly I’m trying to figure out whether I want to read this because I WILL have some sort of emotional breakdown.

Co-sign. She’s unbelievable in that movie, and arguably outshines both Beatty and Jack.

I can’t handle these Sox-Yankees games the way I could when I was young. That was before “blood pressure” was a concept that had any relevance to my everyday life.

Let's be clear: no one should be taking medical advice from the man who told Americans to inject bleach. To moms worried about the Tylenol they took while pregnant: you deserve better than being RFK Jr's scapegoat. And to the autism community: you are loved exactly as you are.

Democracy, more than anything is a practice. I always think that the Civil Rights Movement succeeded because from the Civil War black Americans built institutions: universities, fraternities and sororities, churches, that engaged them in democratic practice.

This sucks. What a life, what a career.

(I’d put prison conditions, family defense and other similar lawyers with technically “civil” practice in the category of criminal defense for trauma purposes. Same with the support staff for all those lawyers. I’m sure I’m still leaving many out, but that’s a start.)

Justice Jackson remains the best thing Joe Biden ever did.

I guess on a very basic level we need to tell people over and over that watching cable news is not something a smart person does it’s the opposite of that. You can feel free to watch Top Chef or baseball or Mario 64 speedruns, none of them, genuinely, will make you as ignorant as CNN shouty bullshit

I’m currently going through some combination of rage, denial, and ironic detachment. Which of course is a very 90’s kid thing to do…

Sort of puts the lie to the “it’s a distraction to get sucked into Republican culture war nonsense” theory when its very proponents decide to enthusiastically repeat and amplify some of that same nonsense, doesn’t it?

Embrace “Spencer Tracy in ‘Bad Day at Black Rock’ Thought.”

1m people allegedly in boston today. the scale of this is just crazy. i think record-breaking www.wcvb.com/article/more...

I hope, if nothing else, what's going on in LA will remind the nation's young people that true rebelliousness is not saying slurs that HR told you not to say, it's fighting fascists who are using state power to suppress speech & impose violence on marginalized groups.

it really doesn’t matter if someone is in america illegally or not. who cares, grow up

god, NIGHT MOVES…what a picture

I never had the opportunity to take one of Prof. Primus’ classes in law school at UM, but I will absolutely be buying and reading this book.

My kingdom for a political party that will forthrightly defend freedom of movement and embrace immigrants.

I don't have the bandwidth for this, I can't handle infinity assholes orbiting this dumb fuck at his golf clubs until he slingshots them off to fuck something else important up for no reason

i have never been and will never be a believer, but pope francis seemed to try to do a lot to move the church forward, and i hope he is remembered for that.

But perfect for this administration, which hates and is disgusted by disabled people.

Bureaucracy, institutions and systems functioned so well that they became invisible except when they inconvenienced or erred; people are not civically educated so only happen to become aware of the bureaucracy and find “what the hell do these bureaucrats get paid to do all day” appealing

Bring back *everyone* who was sent from the U.S. to CECOT in El Salvador. *No one* should be sent there. ALL their rights were violated. ALL of them should come home.

This is 100 percent true, and it’s also attitudinal - if you defend these sorts of agencies and programs, you’re cringingly earnest, but if you pay no attention to the good they do, you can present yourself as some sort of “move fast and break things” maverick.

I’m in this skeet and I don’t like it.

Horrendously awful, irredeemable people.

This is literally the “Australia/America” gag from The Simpsons. What is happening.

If history tells us anything, it’s that “nobody ever questions” Middle Eastern land grabs by Western powers.

I think we can close the book on the question of whether conservative christianity is really just a permission structure for antisocial behavior

Good, the Chiefs lost. Now I can return to my natural and comfortable state of feeling contempt for all things Philly.

i am 100% certain that they are weekend at bernie-ing trump and just handing him papers to sign, the content of which is determined by whoever happens to want something to happen

LFG Maryland!

I think there’s a lot to this. And MeToo, as well.

if i die from eating poisoned oatmeal because trump put, like, mike rowe in charge of the FDA, you had best believe i want you to politicize the holy fucking shit out of it

It’s too cold, very expensive, and I haven’t lived there since I was 18, but stuff like this is why I’ll always have a little bit of “ride or die with Massachusetts” in me.

“The war situation has developed not necessarily to Japan’s advantage.” E. Hirohito’s surrender message.

trans rights forever
