lets say a wizard has cursed you with a lot of money. you are going to become permanently brain damaged simply by being in possession of so much money. the only way out of it is to spend a lot of money on something ridiculous and not at all useful

what would you buy to break the curse?

Seems odd that the Patriot League would engage in such egregious taxation without representation.

In news that might only interest me and three other people, the FOIA Fairy confirms that

a) William & Mary paid $50K to join Patriot League FB
b) current Patriot League dues are $30K a year

also, FB affiliate status is only through the 2029 season. Could be renewed after:

Again, the Court (a) doesn't want the real constitutional crisis when Trump ignores a decision and (b) knows it can give Trump what he wants now and reject on the merits later. So they're going to give him what he wants, and send everything back to the district court to rot until he's out of office.

Steve Vladeck @stevevladeck.bsky.social · 1d

Today’s “One First” looks at how #SCOTUS and its defenders have responded to criticisms of the Court’s behavior in Trump cases either by knocking down straw men or by attacking the critics—without meaningfully defending what the Court is actually *doing*:

www.stevevladeck.com/p/183-the-mi...

After all, maybe one can defend the Court granting emergency relief more often than ever before and in cases with far greater real-world (and structural) impacts. And maybe one can defend the Court altering (if not completely scrapping) the traditional balance of the equities in these cases. But does that defense extend to the Court doing so especially in cases in which President Trump is a party—and no others? And does it extend to the Court doing all of this without usually providing written explanations of what it is doing—or why? And even if the answer is somehow “yes,” does it also extend to the Court doing all of this, not usually explaining what it’s doing or why, and nevertheless accusing lower courts who fail to read the justices’ minds of “defying” the Court?

I have a very hard time believing that anyone can genuinely make it through even three of those sentences with a coherent defense of what the Supreme Court has done over the past seven months—let alone all five of them. I’d love to see such an argument, if it exists, but I haven’t been—and won’t be—holding my breath.

Sean Clifford was their Ricky Stanzi, in that he brought inherent risk to a risk-free system through nothing more than style of play, and the risk made a static offense dynamic.

And then the coach retooled the system to stop that from ever happening again.

Bill DiFilippo @billdifilippo.bsky.social · 2d

my main, overarching take on drew allar's time at penn state is he could have been turned into anything and what he got turned into was a reflection of his head coach: someone who always prioritized "don't do the wrong thing" over everything else, to his detriment
