Zoomed in view of tomatoes in a bowl, stem ends down, all black/purple cultivars. Looking glossy and dark red shading to purple, green shoulders barely visible on one or two.

Yeah, there's no deep end at the Tim Pool.

"If we wrote a long opinion, it might give the impression that we had logically consistent, legally defensible reasoning behind our rulings."

What is that, a Map of Boston blanket?

well I mean you *are* eating lasagna!

Shouldn't you be asking your insane wife and child that? 🙂

Evergreen skeet.

Dave Marshall @dkmarsh.bsky.social · 1d

That would constitute getting off lightly.

Nary a mention of Trump. Hey...I guess that's another snub!

Dave Marshall @dkmarsh.bsky.social · 2d

Off to check the Times on this. Please tell me they don't have the word "snubs" in the headline...

On my occasional visits during the lame duck remainder of my subscription, post-cancellation, I enjoy seeing that Resubscribe button affixed to the masthead. I fantasize that hovering over it toggles it to a No Fucking Way! button...

It's all relative. I mean, how do these guys know it's not just that they're getting stupider and stupider?

Dave Marshall @dkmarsh.bsky.social · 2d

Sure, he's unqualified on the merits, but he's got exceptional standing!

Dave Marshall @dkmarsh.bsky.social · 2d

The Union are kind of flying under the radar here.

If only one could wake up in a cold sweat for a living!

I started getting local stone ground whole wheat flour (Philly area), and the first thing I noticed was how fresh it tastes! Until you have flour that hasn't spent weeks working its way through the supply chain, you don't appreciate the total lack of rancidity.

It's like these guys are all hedge fund managers, except with women instead of hedge funds.

Almost looks like Realmuto is pointing towards first...

Dave Marshall @dkmarsh.bsky.social · 2d

Clearly not. Might have had a shot at first, but we'll never know. 🙁

Dave Marshall @dkmarsh.bsky.social · 2d

Wait, wait! If presidents get prizes for destroying the country, then Trump should be awarded EVERY FUCKING PRIZE IN HISTORY.

He practices limp resistance. He's not heavy at all but he's very awkward to pick up and move.

I love this! and I don't even know what it literally means. But placing Lutnick nuantially adjacent to Miller is chef's kiss!

I wrote an economic history paper comparing treatment of slavery in Roll, Jordan, Roll and Time on the Cross using The Phantom Tollbooth as a metaphor (Dictionopolis v. Digitopolis). The Professor liked it! Wasn’t done at the 11th hour, but AI monkeys could’ve typed for years and not hit upon that.
