One, these are people well over 30 with high-ranking professional jobs.

Two, white kids having a "Nazi phase" is not normal. Any kid who has one is a morally deranged freak due to **** parenting. Stop being racist against your own people just because you personally are spiritually substandard.

Friendly reminder that Tidal ($10.99) is now cheaper than Spotify ($11.99), delivers better audio quality, pays its artists 2x as much, and generally doesn't allow AI slop.

You can move your entire music library over in a matter of minutes.

you fucked around and now the Episcopalians are doing memes. are you happy now. are you

Haaahahaha. Kagan says "in Milligan, we rejected a number of arguments. It seems to me that you just made every one of them." Then she started to list them.
... she's still listing them. :)

The fight here with Gorsuch and Kav vs Nelson is whether the "use" of race automatically means "discrimination" on the basis of race.

That's interesting to me, because it's basically the white folks telling on themselves. They cannot see a "use" of race that isn't synonymous with discrimination.

Nelson and KBJ are finally to the point where they're arguing thta the 15th Amendment doesn't have a *time limit* and the Voting Rights Act is just the mechanism to make the 15th Amendment work.

Brett and Amy don't actually think the 15th Amendment should be made to work so...

Roberts is saying that the court's own precedent from a couple of years ago, where it ruled that Alabama had to draw racial fair maps, doesn't apply to this (identical) case, essentially because the Alabama case was poorly argued.
It's a terrible argument, but the hill Roberts is gonna die on.

What could be worse than screaming at a Capitol police officer?

Remember, according to the Republican Justices, it's okay to gerrymander for party advantage, not racial advantage. It's an unknowable distinction, but one that allows the Republicans to okay racist gerrymandering under the guise of political gerrymandering.

it's almost as if... the government is run by some who has had his name on 4 companies that filed for bankruptcy (and left everyone else holding the bag)

I do think Zombie's...range? voice? as a writer/director is a little limited, but that's not unique to him. I like some of his stuff quite a bit, although the Halloween duology wasn't my cup of tea.

Bessent is pro-kings.

This UVA rally — which is sponsored by student, faculty, & staff groups — will protest the Trump regime's efforts to take over American universities & demand that UVA not cooperate, as it did this summer.
Friday, noon, at the Rotunda. C-ville community members are encouraged to attend.

I use the steadicam long take fight up through the building when I teach editing in Intro to Film Studies. It's so good.
I also show that "Tony Jaa can fly" flying knee strike from the stairs, just because.

They should do a special "Oops All Crusts" edition.

What could lead me to try to REPEATEDLY try to quit the first TV series I ever created? If you thought things went to a dark place in the last part of “The Horror of ‘Dracula’: The Unbelievable True Story of the 2013 TV Series”, you ain't seen (heard?) nothing yet. Listen to Part 3 now!

Took a high school class on government & economics. The teacher wasn't great, but yeah we covered the basics for stuff like that. Plus, y'know, I had Schoolhouse Rock on VHS.

Just a reminder that the Game of Thrones guys have used their overall at Netflix to get a miniseries about the assassination of James Garfield greenlit. It is showrun by the screenwriter of the Hugh Jackman movie Bad Education and boasts an all star cast.

it’s so cool that we’re just doing Stuart Personal Rule again, the situation that every single institution of the Founding period was explicitly built to prevent

New car buyers can expect to shell out an average of more than $50,000 for the first time, according to a report from Kelley Blue Book. https://cnn.it/4odLnaO

JD Vance can dismiss the Young Republicans as a college group chat.

But let's be clear: the group chat includes a State Senator, a Trump Admin official, and multiple Republican staffers — and some of the worst comments came from folks associated with Mike Johnson, Elise Stefanik, and Mike Lawler.

Here, bask in the Halloweeny vibes of this sequence from The Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew Mysteries:

SIX bundles left! Can we wipe them out before the weekend? Let's goooo!!

Does this count?
