Hunter S. Thompson was a good writer who was also an insane drug addict and generations of men in their 20s have destroyed their livers writing extremely boring pastiches as the result of incorrectly inferring some causal relationship there
just read a piece calling Nuzzi a "modern day political version of Hunter S. Thompson" and I think I need to log off

I’m seeing the framing of feminism as women’s right to “choose” whether to stay home and raise a family or have a career, with both options attaching the same moral value, come up in the context of Taylor Swift’s new album.
It’s a framing that has always rubbed me the wrong way

I know Charlie Kirk valued debate and free speech because he blocked me for fact-checking his lies on Twitter and then put me on his organization's Professor Watchlist for writing a book he didn't like.

One of my top 3 worst exes (there have been a few stinkers…) has picked the two weeks before my literal wedding to try to slide back into my Instagram DMs. Ladies, they always come back.

The person you know who’s the most upset about Mamdani will also leave their UWS brownstone in a casket
THe WeaLtHY aRE GoiNG to LeaVE NYc
They’ve have spent the last 40 years turning NYC into their own personal ATM/VIP lounge. Now they’re gonna sell properties, shutter businesses, cancel memberships, and start over in Dorksburg, Idaho to avoid paying 6% instead of 4% in taxes?
It’s an empty threat

Soooo has anyone brought up that these jokers had Jeffrey Goldberg’s cell because Goldberg is a genocide apologist with an agenda? I canceled my Atlantic subscription last year because of all the whitewashing

I strain to understand why we are giving up our only point of leverage FOR FREEEEEE
I think the thing about the dirty CR is that republicans need democratic votes and if they want them, their pitch can’t be “lol fuck you” which the $1B from the DC budget absolutely is.

It’s a terrible option, Neville Chamberlain said, but the risk of allowing Hitler to amass even more power after he takes Austria and the Sudetenland is far worse.

I’m coming to the realization that appellate lawyers do it all backwards… we should prep for oral arguments FIRST and THEN write the briefs, on account of all the holes you find in your papers while mooting your case 😂

Randy Barnett used to shrug away women’s & LGBTQ rights to our faces in class under his strict original public meaning textualist reading of the privileges or immunities clause.
When I tell you his anachronistic, dishonest reading of the birthright citizenship clause had my heart rate UP this week…

Ultimately "the libs" exist in this space where they must be degraded, but they also must polite and conciliatory in the face of degradation. The other side has no such obligations. Such a political movement ("the libs") can't really exist for long that way. They will become something else.
I don't know to politely explain this but if you start a political movement bent on insulting people who disagree with you ("the libs"), eventually "the libs" will start feeling less sympathy for you. That's not the same as wishing harm, but ask yourself how society reliably functions.

People are STILL out here trying to sit down in the proverbial rural Pennsylvania diner straining to understand the average Trump voter
It reminds me of Dachau and Buchenwald survivor Bruno Bettelheim blaming anti-Semitism on European Jews’ unwillingness to understand Nazis as individuals

I love how during Trump’s first term the jokes were like “ha ha ha alternative facts what a silly illiterate goose”
And now they’re like “I hope we end up in the same work yard at the Nicaraguan gulag, my brother in arms”

Based on some anecdotal reports, it seems like, when given the choice among probationary employees to terminate without cause, OMB is choosing the people of color and gay people over their straight white counterparts.
That’s not reversing DEI; that’s outright racist hiring & it’s ill-fuckin-legal

More layoffs today of civil servants. So, I take it “American prosperity” really only applies to a handful of people.
Very frustrating that the entire narrative of the past two years has been economic anxiety and now these ghouls are taking away folks’ livelihoods and no one fucking cares.

Feb 10: RI district judge McConnell grants a motion to enforce the TRO requiring Trump admin to unfreeze federal funds
Next steps are a motion for contempt & sanctions and a show-cause order.
Then what? Throw Musk & weird nerd army in jail? Force them to pay fines? It’s a new world today
