But just think, you get an organized kvetching session for decades. The lowest entry stakes of feeling oppressed.

Yes, I happen to be a Vikings fan (and thankfully not a sports gambler).

It’s both depressing and darkly hilarious how Lawfare posting has gone from “we got him on an Article 33, Clause 8, Subsection Alpha infraction, baby cannon time!” to *slams whisky bottle down* “the law is fake and I challenge John Roberts to a fistfight at the Walmart parking lot.”

1/ A longtime Wired editor just wrote a mush-brained essay about how he totally missed the political rot of Silicon Valley (& still doesn't get it).

But in the late 1990s, a Wired journalist warned of a toxic ideology bubbling up from tech. Paulina Borsook has largely been erased. Let's change that

There’s no rule that says a Golden Retriever can’t play basketball…but what if there was? Thus begins the opening lines for my screenplay “Air Bud: Class Action Attorney” and yes the dog does drink himself to death. It’s not a happy story it’s the story about how these systems crush us.

Man, unconfirmed reports of shots fired at our county fair where my family is. This is ridiculous.

“You took up my time to answer with your long, rather unlettered question” is such a sick burn. I could never deliver it with such condescension, but man, Hitchens was great.

Went to college and law school in Minnesota, so I’m a combination Arkansas/Vikings fan. Don’t know if I could have chosen more poorly

I hosted a play through of Arcs by @leder.games and made a custom Keynote deck to display the cards on a monitor so everyone can read them. It is the first time I’ve gotten to use the Touch Pad on my MacBook Pro I’ve had since 2018.

A display showing cards from the game ARCS. These are mirrored on a larger television to allow all the players to see them easily

That is awesome. Do you check bpms on the cartoons and match the speed of the track, or am I just being too nerdy?

There are lots of accounts of people doing this at executions and lynchings, soaking up blood on handkerchiefs for souvenirs.
