The end of the world sounds a little like: “This is AI slop depicting something that didn’t happen, sure. But what if it wasn’t? And sure, I’m passing it off as real. But what if I wasn’t! What then, huh?”

Yeah he’s a stone cold weirdo. And somehow, and I can’t work it out—I don’t even know if this is true or just me—he gives off a significantly more well adjusted vibe than your Johns Gruden and other like more hype football obsessives.

I really like the phrase "Kavanaugh stop." It's not a Terry stop, because a Terry stop is short and based on reasonable suspicion of a crime. A Kavanaugh stop, by contrast, is when masked goons kidnap a person for speaking Spanish.

"Kavanaugh stops" are in full swing in an occupied blue city near you. Learn how DC intends to fight back:

SCOTUS Blessed "Kavanaugh Stops." Will They Also Give Thumbs Up To "Roberts Residencies?"

Maybe Barrett Bookings? Alito Arrests? Gorsuch Guest Passes?

Not the absolute best genre for experiment with narrative forms in the best of times.

can you imagine sitting in that audience as a three-star flag officer — decades in the service, multiple post-grad degrees and a virtually unequaled level of command expertise — and being forced to watch this dunderheaded dry drunk give an off-brand jordan belfort seminar?

In DC, almost every single person charged with assaulting a federal officer has had their case downgraded, moved to superior court, or thrown out altogether

the phenomenon that’s been going on for 20 years is more stark than ever: the court tells the conservative legal apparatus what it wants and they go manufacture it.

as true with Heller as it is with birthright citizenship. it’s less balls and strikes and more calling the pitches.

Anthony Michael Kreis @anthonymkreis.bsky.social · 13d

Look at what the United States Government is citing in the birthright citizenship case.

Non-expert legal scholarship and work done hastily in service of their political goals.

No way (absent information you’re keeping to the chest) to know if it will be received as “we couldn’t help but notice you clicking Sisyphus’s boner, Dave” or “haha we’re all three buddies enjoying a slightly raunchy joke! is Sisyphus priapritic lol?”

Yeah on reflection perhaps the median voter is not mainlining horse race politics coverage and meta commentary about horse race politics coverage.

While the truth is you must pander to the electorate based on what it is actually reading: Axios.

What’s so sad about it all is that you *could* shut down all the research if (((they))) would just let us have the med beds!

Making an obvious but still funny joke a second time when someone posted it a few minutes or hours before is still…better than Ezra.

So many of us came so very unwillingly to this place of viewing the Supreme Court as unworthy of being viewed as a judicial body. Unworthy of veneration, unworthy of respect.

So profoundly reluctantly.

But, good lord have they earned it.
