Hello NYC, hopefully you are bundled up this Winter 🧥 Early registration for Big Dapple 9 ends EOD TODAY! Grab your squad and lock it in NOW to save $10! $10 gets you a warm slice of pizza, hot enough to warm you up during these winter times ❄️ Details below!

A person at the last Big Dapple who was at the venue to hang out at the bar and not there for the LAN told Rose that they bought Splatoon 3 after watching Malibu play on the main stage because "a game where you had fun despite losing must be a good time," and that is truly the best compliment.

Looking to help make a card for one of these LANs this year? The form is now OPEN! #CompSplatoon #SplatoonArt docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

In celebration of Moonlight's incredible Splatoon 3 North American League run, I worked on the thumbnail art for Chara's most recent video! #LIGHTUP 🌙✨ #art | #splatoon

Absolutely phenomenal run for Moonlight to finish in 2nd. I hope they're really proud regardless of not finishing first. They have continued to improve time and time again!

Moonlight had an unforgettable run. May not have gotten the final win, but proved they have come so far and put in so much work to get to where they're at. ggs Moonlight, keep up the fight!

The Supreme Court was always going to swat away Kim Davis’ latest appeal, which did not even properly raise an attack on marriage equality. But pay close attention to what the Republican-appointed justices get away with after today’s positive headlines fade. slate.com/news-and-pol...

If you want accurate reporting and analysis, not fearmongering, subscribe to Law Dork, where I always treated this case as the dud it was. (I covered it at the Sixth Circuit; said it was not at all a likely candidate for SCOTUS for review; and that was, basically, that.) www.lawdork.com

I am looking for more input on this-- About 10 more responses would be amazing! The results so far are promising, but I want to hear from any #Splatoon players or fans in/near the Central NY/Finger Lakes regions to confirm! Please share! #compsplatoon #splatoon3 forms.gle/9sToYm9xhQ4J...

writing an essay for college that is essentially a starter guide to #compsplatoon (yes my prof is a very cool guy). i want to outsource opinions for what beginner resources i should include, preferably stuff that's as easy/concise as possible to explain to an outsider. thank you in advance!

As the timer hits 0 for the last time tonight, with an astounding 3-1 win, Voiē Lactee claims the crown as the victors of Riptide 2025!

WHAAAAAAAAAATTT Anyone who was saying how #compsplatoon might’ve been dying has no idea what they’re talking about, the people who are doing the work just aren’t terminally online. Very glad to see other orgs getting involved with bigger events, it’s a good step.

NYC! WHO’S READY TO PEDAL TO THE METAL Metro Ink is partnering with Collision to proudly introduce: 🦑 Gridlock at Collision! Multi-Day Splatoon 4v4 LAN Regional & Social Event August 22nd - 24th 2025 Meadowlands Expo Center Secaucus New Jersey! ⬇️More details below ⬇️ youtu.be/I1eRaiUeJZc

In her dissent from today's decision—Mahmoud v. Taylor—Justice Sotomayor says that the court's holding "threatens the very essence of public education," and that its "reverberations" will be felt "for generations." This is a very heartfelt and mournful dissent. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

If this is the level of subtlety that can lead to a religious liberty violation than, as Sotomayor points out, I don't see how any person can't bring a religious liberty claim to opt out of pretty much anything. Case in point: could Christian Scientists could now opt out of any book with doctors?

Wow that’s broad. Incredibly broad. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

Alito's choice to retain scare quotes around "LGBTQ+-inclusive" throughout his opinion in Mahmoud v Taylor, even AFTER he defines the term, pretty clearly gives the game away: He thinks the books are sinister pro-gay agitprop designed to indoctrinate children www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

This statement is divorced from reality. Judges aren't dragging people off the street and shuffling them around the country in order to avoid due process. The Trump admin is stonewalling judges already. We're sliding in authoritarianism and the Supreme Court is smiling and enjoying the ride.

If the Supreme Court thinks universal injunctions are unconstitutional, to wait until *now* to say that, in this of all cases, with this of all presidents, is a devastating indictment of both its impartiality and its prudence.

Sotomayor, in dissent, correctly says that today's decision in Mahmoud will lead public schools to simply censor books featuring LGBTQ characters and themes, creating "chaos" and stigmatizing children with LGBTQ families. This decision will lead to book bans. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

Although Alito frames the remedy here as "notice and opt-out," the reality is that school districts cannot manage such a sweeping opt-out system. They are far more likely to simply pull books with LGBTQ characters off classroom shelves altogether rather than face a ruinous, high-profile lawsuit.

🚨In its fourth decision, the Supreme Court holds that parents who object to LGBTQ books in the classroom have a First Amendment right to "opt out" their children from seeing those books. Alito writes for the 6-3 majority, with all three liberals dissent. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

"The rule of law is not a given in this Nation, nor any other. It is a precept of our democracy that will endure only if those brave enough in every branch fight for its survival. Today, the Court abdicates its vital role in that effort." -- Sotomayor dissent

From Sotomayor's dissent, which she's now reading from the bench: "The President has made a 'solemn mockery' of our Constitution. Rather than stand firm, the Court gives way. Because such complicity should know no place in our system of law, I dissent." www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...
