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."

I had to verify this wasn't AI because it sounds like something I'd have overheard in a gun show in 1995 by a dude hocking turner diary copies.

the first one did okayish, and is historically significant in terms of visual effects, but no one was asking for a third Tron movie

Yeah when I watch a Babylon Bee comedy sketch (for scientific purposes only) I’m like “Cut here! You said that already! Faster, faster!”

One funny thing about The Onion’s Jeffrey Epstein documentary is it’s a mere 22 min long. The Babylon Bee made a January 6 documentary parody that is 40 minutes long, confirming my theory that all right wing comedy is double the length it needs to be because the right have no grasp of comic timing

Variety @variety.com · 2h

Disney’s sci-fi sequel “Tron: Ares” opened to a disappointing $33.5 million this weekend, falling short of projections of $45 million to $50 million.

For comparison, 2010’s “Tron: Legacy” debuted to $44 million (not adjusted for inflation).

STEPHANOPOULOS: I didn't insinuate anything. I asked you whether Tom Homan accepted $50k as was heard on an audio tape recorded by the FBI in September 2024. You did not answer the question. Thank you for your time.

VANCE: No, George, I sai--

STEPHANOPOULOS: We'll be right back

I feel like the long game for these creeps is to let a pandemic run wild and blame whatever happens on immigrants. Probably won’t work out that way!

RIF notices also sent to the CDC’s 2023 and 2024 class of civilian EIS officers known as its main disease detectives, per sources. These are the people who are typically the first responders in an outbreak. 4/4
