Clarence Thomas says the 14th Amendment should be read narrowly because it was written for formerly enslaved people. By that logic, the 2nd Amendment was written for muskets, not AR-15s. Funny how that kind of originalism only shows up when it's convenient.

On Birthright Citizenship: “The Reconstruction Amendments were an anticaste, antisubordination reset for the Nation, not a mere spot treatment for the dark stain of slavery.” -Justice Ketanji Brown 💅💕

Stop calling it “development” if the soil dies, the rivers dry, and the people leave.

Bill Murray & Gilda Radner, Studio 54, 1978.

My comedy hero Mel Brooks is 100 tomorrow. Young Frankenstein is my favourite film of his. The attention to detail, the clear love of the genre but for me it’s when I fell in comedic love with Cloris Leachman and her extraordinary performance as Frau Blücher. *horses whinny in the distance*
