I’ve read some peer reviewed journals, and it seems it also doesn’t help much. it’s just the nature of legal academia

the best work tends to be interdisciplinary

criminal law especially swings wildly across this canyon

Heathcliff Panel:
Heathcliff and other cats are reacting to a snail race. Two birds watch from a tree, one of them says "You have to give credit where credit is due... though of course he'll use that credit to buy more autocracy."

New Yorker Panel:
Two people watching tv, the news is talking about the Trump peace plan. One of the people watching says "You can bet on anything these days."

Oh neat! A clip of a random white male skinhead podcaster is your attempt to mock me? Is that right?

for a dive into the French domestic situation, I highly recommend France Under Napoleon by Louis Bergeron (translated by R.R. Palmer)

this is horrible news for me

i find the one song being titled “cancelled!” very funny and will be spreading conspiracy theories about it being meant to poison search results, like disney’s frozen

libslop articles on the supreme court are so funny sometimes

just saw urgent reporting with the breaking news that Justice Thomas said precedent “isn’t gospel”

you read that right. extremely concerning and out of the ordinary for Justice Thomas to say that precedent is sometimes wrong

The number one thing you should be doing right now is catastrophizing and panicking. Stop exercising. Stop reading books. Eat like shit. Fuck up your sleep schedule. Eschew fresh air. Doom scroll all day.

posting triple ex content on main may be ill-advised

I'm not going to go looking at everybody's bio, and you are posting above exactly as you would if that was a picture of you. the confusion is understandable, I think

there are quite a lot of hillary clinton liberals on here who very firmly believe he is “apolitical” or “right wing” despite all evidence. I don’t know how he would characterize it, but if that’s what you mean by “hush it up,” then, yes, both liberals and leftists have engaged in mass lying ab this

that’s not an accurate description of the court’s use, in this case, of the emergency docket, nor is it an accurate description of its view re: the standing problems which kavanaugh claimed lends support for that use of the emergency docket

not generally, no? why would that matter at all for what I’m saying here? you are bizarre

I care about true things because they’re true

I’ve had great experiences with online dating — it’s not all bad, just how it is now

cheer 🔆 @cheer.bsky.social · 28d

people should recognize the truth and say true things instead of false ones — that’s what should come of it

I’m sorry you’ve spent so much time immersed in narrative and ideology that that’s not enough for you

cheer 🔆 @cheer.bsky.social · 28d

what? where did I say that? you know, you can recognize objective truths about the world and still think they’re bad?

besides, of the possible options right now, the more clearly supported one (general lib/left tendencies) is FAR more pro-trans than the only alternative (single-issue trans rights)

the fact that he thinks his own joke is funny doesn’t mean he has no ideology

the facts, as you say, definitely indicate ideological opposition to kirk (a conservative’s) quote: “hatred,” and only questionably anything more specific

cheer 🔆 @cheer.bsky.social · 28d

That is not what is said. That is not true. Bottom of the page. Either you’re lying or misremembering, or whoever told this to you was lying or misremembering

nobody is trying to put me in a camp, but this response does reveal you’re more interested in convenience than truth

he did not tell anybody he did it “for the memes,” and plenty of people with ideologies or ideas or beliefs happen to be in discords where people share “memes”

and, many of those weird loners you cite to did have ideologies and goals
