JOURNEY BEFORE DESTINATION

Felt like terrible strategy from OKC in that last minute You didn't have time to waste, guys!!! Anyway what an incredible game/series

So how big a Q1 lead do we need before the Spurs feel comfortably favored?

Me, to everyone who thinks constitutional reform is a pipe dream

Ahem Watch this space

Man, not with that attitude, we won't

This is a very apt way of putting it: the problem with the Constitution of 1789 isn't so much that it's flawed (it surely is, but you can fix flaws with amendments) But rather that it has lapsed, that it is in abeyance

I definitely thought what they were saying was that Talarico was a trans man 🤷‍♂️ So very hard to keep track with these folks

Are even Thunder fans rooting for OKC tonight? Like everyone just agrees that we need a seventh game of this, right??

Almost like we've been in a state of lightly sublimated civil conflict since January 2021 or something...

Tapped Library of Alexandria to draw a card four times in a game of Secrets of Strixhaven draft, AMA (Why in god's name did they put that card in this format???)

I automatically like any fictional character better if they drive a Volvo Moreover, I believe this is rational? Is there a single bad person in all of moving pictures who drives a circa 1990 vintage Volvo? I can't think of one.

The Mets... won a game???

Rookie record is 53, by the way

Second A10 win was NOT close Defect, basic Claw build. 3x Claw, one Feral, one All for One. Took Sword of Stone very early and got it online after my first elite in act two, that felt key Also Pantograph is insane on A10???

Law question for y'all: is there any, like, subsequent guidance or case law about what exactly falls within the rule of Goldberg v. Kelly? (I am interested in the question of whether Goldberg means we need to re-examine the old rule that public office is not property for DPC purposes)

Okay so like, I am way too much of a basketball noob to really be able to say something like this, but..... the refs want OKC to win this game, yeah??

Slander, tbh (Most corrupt politician in America is Trump, but Paxton is a plausible second)

I'll let other people handle the god part, but like??? Again you just see the aggressive anti-pluralism ANYONE living differently is a "threat to our way of life"

I really do not love the politics of meat eating, of course This bothers me a lot more than the religion stuff 🤷‍♂️

When we say kakistocracy...

Just got off the golf course, checked the Mets score, checked the Texas results Not sure who's getting creamed worse tbh

Incidentally, this describes a lot of right-wing legal causes, and is basically why they had to go on a long campaign to stuff the courts with people who don't really care about what the law actually says

Behold the fruits of my labors! @liberalcurrents.com www.instagram.com/reel/DYyLYWG...

Lol so Gary Keith and Ron were talking about Tommy John, and I was looking over his Baseball-Reference page, and this little annotation is pretty badass

Lol holy shit, the Pope rules???

WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT, WEMBY

Okay wait, point of order, is the implication here that bagel places in LA don't even have actual cream cheese???

Ah yeah, because punching the Thunder hard right out of the gate worked so well for the Spurs the last time

Phewwwwwww, got my first win, with the Silent, with exactly 1 HP left 😅 Like a shivs/sly build, I'm not honestly sure why it worked haha

Remind me again why the Mets didn't fire their manager in the middle of that twelve-game losing streak??

Okay, it's time Ascension 10, here we go

That's right.

They say the door to Hell is locked from the inside. And the same is true of reactionary politics. The solution to the Male Loneliness Epidemic <dismissive wanking gesture> is and has always been feminism. Simple as. Men, go clean your rooms and learn feminism.

Democracy without limited government isn't really democracy: if the state can silence critics, elections become theater. The two depend on each other at the deepest possible level. @hurricanexyz.bsky.social and @sjshancoxli.liberalcurrents.com

Another research question: is there a good compendium anywhere of, like, the drafting history of the Fourteenth Amendment? The different versions, and such? (Yes, I know they can be found in the Congressional Record)

Does anyone happen to know when, exactly, the provision currently codified at 18 U.S.C. § 2383 was first adopted? (The notes in the code only go back to 1940, but it must be older than that...)

Jonah Tong though???

WE DID IT, CHAT Ascension 9 complete, Necrobinder took it down with the best ethereal synergy deck I've ever had. Tons of Veilpiercers letting me play Demesne for free, Pull from Below and Banshee's Cry to finish it off Now for A10 😬

BUT, I am learning, and someday these new skills may result in..... video lectures for Constitutional Perspectives???

Having a genuine comedy of errors over here trying to record a literal three-minute video for Liberal Currents

Again, pro tip for lawyers: try not do to anything that makes the judge recite this Robert Jackson quote in the opening paragraph of the opinion

Okay I mostly thought that was incredibly cringey, BUT! The actual end was very cool I almost wish the part where he said "goodnight, everybody" could have just been the end, but I mean you couldn't not do the part with Paul

I think I watched the first Colbert Late Show, and now I will watch the last one Did I watch any in the middle? Look

I have no very strong basketball allegiance to any particular team, but when the Knicks win a playoff game, I get to see the Empire State Building out my window light up in Mets colors, so that's something

Flak Cannon gets the job done for the Defect I seem to be figuring this out???

Question for y'all: what's the best program for like, video editing, if you're someone who finds video editing intimidating and are looking for a very smooth and intuitive interface?

If people knew how to win elections, they would just do it

My grandfather, in 1960, on the idea that integration would violate the "freedom of association" of racist Southern whites:

Followed in short order by a win with the Ironclad, though I did let myself cheat/reset the final boss fight because I thought I messed it up the first time I was so confused until about halfway through the run, I actually read the text on Inferno in this game
