A few different ways you can square the circle, but one way that is perhaps less challenging than either of those is to join ICC and give them retrospective jurisdiction to 2025 in the signing statement. At that point a valid pardon ends the domestic process and starts the intl one

i don't have a blog or newsletter but i think people should know that if they go to costco right now and find a half-off costco thanksgiving dinner for 8 and some souper cube freezer trays they could theoretically turn the holiday into a very affordable monthly or even biweekly affair

Can you all stop using Substack already?

And the J-Street / Ro Khanna effort to normalize recognition of Palestine among Dems is contingent upon recognition being of a demilitarized state that cannot pose any counter response to Israeli aggression. I guess in the most shallow sense this is iteratively an improvement but only by so little.

I feel like crowdsourcing the reasoning behind one person's opinion is likely to result in the appearance of a muddled argument, because you're really layering lots of opinions on top of one another.

It's weird seeing people get touchy about this post. Someone quoted it with "this is a minority opinion" when she literally starts with "I don't know if anyone else notices or cares".
I don’t know if anyone else notices or cares, but when I see a presentation in which the speaker uses obviously generated-AI images to illustrate their slides, it makes me immediately less confident in whatever other content they’re presenting.
