A lot of people are going to walk away from the Ghislaine Maxwell coverage with the impression that our prison system isn’t punitive enough but I’d say it highlights how most everyone else is treated with *deliberate* cruelty.

Who Hired the Hitman? is a snide surprise
The new ID/HBO Max series on murders for hire isn’t a work of staggering genius or anything – but it has an energy that most series like it don’t. Should you give it a look?

I know being a lookist about a guy's hair is well wide of any of the points here, but: what the Bonaduce fuck is going on here - SDB bsky.app/profile/jayw...
I found it pretty charming to learn that after Roger Taney died, sitting lawmakers called his death a "victory for liberty and the Constitution," suggested that he was probably burning in hell, and joked (?) that they'd rather hang him in effigy than do literally anything to honor his memory
Roger Taney’s Contemporaries Hated Him As Much As You Probably Do
Ordinarily, members of Congress do not publicly suggest that recently deceased Supreme Court justices are burning in hell. But Roger Taney was no ordinary Supreme Court justice.
