Julian Edelman is really good in the Fox studio.

She is smarter than Kavanaugh, which makes her more dangerous.

Coney Barrett is a pathetic joke of a "Justice".

Amy Coney Barrett defends heavy use of the shadow docket: "If we wrote a long opinion, it might give the impression that we have finally resolved the issue, and in none of these cases have we finally resolved the issue."

Zuckerberg polls about as favorably as polio now. I predict that antipathy will push business out of the "just go to our FB/Instagram" mode.

Ofc maybe I think so because I abandoned both last year and am still able to shop and buy things.

"No one is made to feel duty bound to engage with Facebook"... uh...

If you want to find current information about local businesses, organizations, churches, Facebook is it. _Maybe_ there's a website maintained within the past year, but it likely directs you to Facebook for more up-to-date stuff.

Absolutely. You ever been to Austen stadium in Eugene? It is insane. You don't just waltz in there and do this. Very notable. Even Mallory wouldn't dream of doing that, and yeah I'm old enough to remember that time. cc: @blanksslate.bsky.social

“Can you show us a video of Portland in flames?”

Is a question someone needs to ask the frickin’ President of the United States.

Someone share this video with Brett Kavanaugh.
The Government sometimes makes brief investigative stops to check the immigration status of those who gather in locations where people are hired for day jobs; who work or appear to work in jobs such as construction, landscaping, agriculture, or car washes that often do not require paperwork and are therefore attractive to illegal immigrants; and who do not speak much if any English. If the officers learn that the individual they stopped is a U. S. citizen or otherwise lawfully in the United States, they promptly let the individual go. If the individual is illegally in the United States, the officers may arrest the individual and initiate the process for removal.

Two years later, the agency’s new director, J. Edgar Hoover, asked her to resign. It would be almost 50 years until women would again join the FBI.

Thanks to Trump and Kash Patel, it is almost that bleak again.
