I think embolism. That would explain the hats and the maybe pump on his collar?

WOLVES, LOWER. (I'm an Old)
Facts. So inconvenient to personal bias.
👏
If you talk to my 25 year old comp. Sci engineer son -- The time to hold the Dems complicit was last year when they failed to defend kids protesting on campuses and were in fact supporting speech suppression. Regardless (he assures me) of the issues being protested. It is a good inflection point.
Good baseline test. I will apply it.
I'd like to go with "Ganster.Gov" or "GangsterFash," but I fear the very srrious moderate pundits would sniff in disapproval.

Cosmic sales move! Vince for Shamwow Strong.
The kids are alright.

AI has useful learning positives. Spellcheck, grammar check, even structure of writing tools are all "AI." But the hype around it as a problem solver that replaces knowledge + analysis is simply wrong. LLM AI is still an immoral bullshit generator. Helping students know which is which is important.
My friends and I, who certainly collectively trad all pf Amis's works, used to refer to him as "Smarrtin Anus." What an ass.
Take Joy Dision: Skin Heads just heard the name and tried to make it a Nazi bar. But the band and its fans were clearly anti-fascist and fought with fists about it. Also, 70's and 80s punk came up alongside Reggae, Ska etc. decided NOT Fascist. Racist Friend: youtu.be/gqH_0LPVoho?...

Have folks noted how really awful this deal is, in the short and long term, for actual -- you know -- Jews? It makes Jewish scholars, admins, students, researchers, etc. the beneficiary of specific advantages no other group is allowed to enjoy. If this is not a shanda, I know not what one would be.
I think the low Bakersfield republican rating is simply because it is attached to the word, "California."
Then again, you ARE a Mets fan....
"All mentions of Little Sebastian must be rewarded with a like, heart, etc." Sorry. I do not make the rules of the inter tubes. (Well maybe this one, provong your point(s)?)
"despite?" OR "to spite?" English is so tricky....
Just imagine, same basic logo. Different team names? This has always been my favorite cartoon about the Cleveland team:
I thought the press descriptions had to be at least slightly off. But they are completely accurate. America First is literally arguing that the disparate impact of free tuition for all families making <$300K per year “masks racial preferences behind income thresholds.”
So. Was Luigi right?
Harvard does not supply an education as much as it supplies a crimson "H" on your permanent record.

I have been non-stop thinking of thos Frost bit:
The Hitchhiker.
Embrace our A-not-so-I overmasters or suffer these small indignities every day. OK, whether you embrace AI or not, the indignities will continue.
I think this is a critical point, thank you. The system is supposed to allow the District Courts to vet questions such as history, science, etc. through the adversarial process. We especially used that for fact rich and consensus-based sciences like medicine. Now, in SCOTUS it is all YOLO!
Hmmm.... "Jerry Israel Siegel" reminds me so of "Barak Hussein Obama" and its use as a pejorative. Plain and simple racism.
I think understanding the law is critical and we vet that quality by licensing -- lawyers. But YES to a broader pool of Justices. What happened to *State* Supreme Court Judges? I think Justice Brennan, nominated by Eisenhower (!) was the last State Supreme Court Judge (NJ) elevated to the SCOTUS.
Sad thing is, with this administration it could be either: hiding something serious or just rank incompetence. But we should keep an open mind that it is both!
Me too. But still utterly replaceable. Many lawyers and law professors still want to believe that "the law" is what wevimagined it should be rather than what it is. And partisan support of the Republican President vs. Democratic Presidents is what it is. (Biden v. NE vs the McMahon decision)
The 9 Supreme Court Justices are the most replaceable people in government. The don't have special knowledge or wisdom. Their understanding of precedent is shallow (whether by design?) I know dozens of smarter, more learned, and temperate lawyers who would suffice. But they have lifetime tenure.
They are not.
Another successful trip around our friend, the 🌞. Happy Birthday! And what a present!
It is practice for when the shit gets real.
Vance was not thinking of my ancestors who fought and died for the Union in the Civil War, either. They were almost all devout Methodists who truly believed in the equality of men under God. I am quite certain they had more in common with Mr. Mamdani than with Vance.
The reason is all in the hairline
Wow. These folks lack capacity.
youtu.be/jnBhuo4SdB4?...
Harsh! But true.
Isn't this just Texas looking to blame someone -- anyone -- else for their rollid climate disaster tour? I lived and worked in Texas for over a decade. I really liked it, but recognized the place is an ideologically engineered State splitting at all its seams.
Wasn't that the original charm of Wonder?
No, tot true. You must be talking about Gen X. The oldest boomer is 79, the youngest 62. Prime medicaid years. When do you think poor people die in America?
I love a city kitten.
Next train day?
Cooking and eating are their own kind of work -- joyful, productive, and satisfying work.
Congratulations! I will be getting a copy for certain. Maybe two -- one as a "lender" from my office library.
The slave owner rebels were fortunate that Grant was a beneficent man and did not order them all arrested and thousands shot or hung.
Attributed to Max Planck -- one who knew it was true.
Blaming the victim is one of the primary tools of fascism.
But isn't that a great encapsulation of power big and tiny? Rehnquist at least knew he was describing a hypocracy. He didn't think his younger self was wrong.
I had a small involvement in Glossip -- in which Scalia accused us capital appellate attorneys of fighting a guerrilla war against the death penalty. Oogidy boogidy!
This is a great thread. Thank you. Originalism is not a constitutionalism tool, it is a one way ratchet that is employed only when the result plausibly (?) lines up with the ideological end the Court seeks. It is "law firm history" and therefore basically substance-less. /S/ Also a Legal Realist.
Best side-eye of the term?
"He Must...." -- Goldman, White 'Splaining.
Yes. In order of seniority. When Rhenquist was a newby Associate Justice he said that the order should be changed from least senior up to the chief. But he told me one summer in Austria (we were teaching at the same program), "But once I became Chief I recognized the wisdom of the traditional way."
Art is not art until it is publicly displyed and open for comment.
Wait until those crazy yutes discover.... THE FILOFAX:
What case is before the Court to address the merits? Why not this CASA case? Until there is a cert. Grant, there is no vehicle for addressing the merits. Or will that be done on the emergency docket too?
Israeli dove has yarmulke....
Ahhh. The Emperor Commodus play starting us all down the path of deified leaders. Good times!
That is actually what is going on in oral arguments. Justices are not trying particularly to learn things from the lawyers (the briefs are much better knowledge vehicles). They are making arguments to the other Justices in their only joint "discussion" moment.
All the "discussion" of cases comes afterward in the form of written memos and draft opinions. There is a lot of memo deal making "take out that sentence and I'll join your opinion," etc. Undoubtedly, some Justices may talk to other Justices out of these constraints, but it is unusual.
Kai, The Justices do not sit in private and "discuss" cases. Case conferences are hierarchical monologues. A case is named then starting with the Chief Justice in order of seniority each justice simply states what their likely vote is with a short reason for it. That's it. No back and forth at all.
Not everyone can be the political hero you want them to be. Hell, I don't know what decision you would make if you were actually in his shoes. What good does fighting this out do for students? faculty? food service workers and maintenance folks at UVA? I don't know and maybe you don't either.
Sargent York is your model.
I do not think it is fair to pin this on Ryan. The GOP Virginia Governor, Younkin, left Ryan swinging in the breeze.
This is John McCain's birth story
At argument, there seemed to be annoyance that the issue before them was not the underlying issue of the constitutionality of birthright citizenship. Then could grant and decide, grant and brief, or keep it on the crazy slow burn that the Feds have purposely set it on.
Re-argument or full on grant in the birthright case next term?
E) Loudly talk about (so the person on the other end can hear) the guy's erectile disfunction problem and/or incontinence and his need to clean up his work space immediately.
Why isn't impeachment available for the lower Trump appointees? It seems like Bondi would be protected, but I think RFK Jr. Is very vulnerable in both the house and the Senate.
Aren't the French, according to non-elites, just surrender monkeys?
I know you are, and I share such fears, but I'm living as if that can't be true. Moments like this are hope beacons. A competent set of evil actors might be able to pull that off, but remember, Giuliani couldn't cancel elections in NYC after 9-11 even with all the wind (and windbags) at his back.
The Republicans only think it is wielded by them. They are but the moment's beneficiaries. Surprise! Republicans neither own or control those vast surveillance systems.
Now THAT is a useful data point
Does Patrick want to reefer the bill back to the legislature for override?
Is Carville scheduled to do a rally hit for Cuomo tomorrow? I smell decay.
Whoa! I've lost two uncles to diabetes. What an amazing medical advance, if it holds.
What a pretty house. In a pretty how town (Durham).
This is sctually the first thing I thought: AQ Kahn was a Islamist without borders. Both Pakistan and North Korea will be happy to arm Iran (the latter for hard cash and intel). Maybe others (some Russians?) I hope the US intimately understands the total layout of nuke placements in the world.
Noce! I used to own a '71 P1800. Gold wirh brown leather seats. What a car! Primitive fuel injection with electronic 5th gear. A Volvo, designed by an Italian. with a friggin English Lucas electric system.
The point of RBG's landmark de jure sex discrimination cases (like Frontiero, Weinberger, and Boren) is discrimination against men is also discrim. against women through biased assumption norms. Barrett thinks sex discrimination only protects women but it's an ill that strikes in all directions.
I am seriously wondering: In the future, will the Roberts' Court be most often compared to the post-Civil War Plessy court? Or the pre-Civil War Dred Scott court?
Well we do all remember Justice Harlan's dissent in plessy more than who were the majority Justices. But all the pain, death and sadness was not worth that ultimate fame. Same will be said about this opinion but only after damage, pain, and death to kids and their families.
"Go Away and Don't Come Back!"
Jackson State is the disappeared Kent State. Because, you lnow -- Black students not white.
Congratulations! My favorite quote about tenure came from a Prost I worked with: "Tenure is the condition in which you can do what you did yesterday for the rest of your life."
I am sorta looking forward to the contaminated food/computer one with Lee Marvin. Or maybe I should jes get off at Willoughby.
Yes I spelled her name wrong. Boo hoo. Someone please alert her.
Margery will have a second chance to vote against the "Big Ugly" once the Senate changes anything in the House Bill. But she will still vote for it.
I want to see Mario descend up his son like Banquo's Ghost.
