I was being flippant, but if I wasn't, then my position is that we're not on a sustainable ecological path, and we don't appear to be growing global governance mechanisms to address this.

I just want to see Keir Starmer go on television and say "i'm a big, dumb baby", they can have their sovereignty back after...
I didn't know your dad was 100 years old!
IMO the people who run the attlantic should be dragged relentlessly in public over this specific article
so they're doing bari weiss free press bullshit, color me shocked!
i'm not going to bother looking him up but it seems pretty obvious he's from the ivies, which ought to be disqualifying for a journalist
what I don't understand is how Jain went from somebody nobody ever heard of to somebody everyone makes fun of, with an in-between step that lasted maybe a calendar week?
i'm rewatching the series and that scene brought me to tears. that actor is really good at flopping on the ground
10/ After 14 years of working on this topic, I tell you this with confidence: Highly invasive mercenary spyware is a power abuse machine. It's incompatible with Americans constitutional rights and freedoms. And our legal system and civil society is not prepared for the next chapter.
Hi Thomas, I was trying to decide whether or not to block your account, and this thread decided it for me. I'm not trans, but I'm a trans voter according to your weird quantification method. Similarly, I'm a Black and Muslim voter too.
this should be shared with journalists all over the world as an example of American journalism failing the test. this is the response of a middling PR-flacky.
you know, instead of studying for my certification test, perhaps I should just create an Excel doc that lists all democratic house reps and includes their age. that totally sounds like something I'd do then describe later as an example of why i'm hopeless
The reason trust is down is because they are the explicit targets of a poltical project to wrestle away their institutional independence. Incidentally, these same people are targeting (credulous rubes within) academia to carry their water as though their criticisms are being made in good faith).
Respectfully, your diagnosis at the top for why trust in universities is down is so fatally flawed that the rest of the document is pointless.
lol no offense but that's about as far remove from the chair I expected as a chair could ever be, including the chair from burn after reading
people don't give @jeffreygoldberg.bsky.social enough shit. Look at this garbage:
it'll be funny when the news is like "a nation is mourning" and then can't find a single live shot that doesn't include people very clearly partying their asses off
^^^ report this account!!
I've been wishing for years that someone would drop a heavy, blunt object right atop Rahm Emmanual's head. As of late, I've reached the conclusion that already happened and nobody wrote about it or told me.
the nomenclature I use to describe these folks is "dumbfucks"
this analogy is fucking excellent:
this whole situation could be resolved very neatly by simply removing each of Matt Yglesias's rights one by one...
far from being an ally, when I think about Starmer it's usually in the context of hoping he falls into a well
From the U.S., Kier Starmer really does come across as a perfect example of you cannot successfully try to ape reactionary conservative politics in the long term. Labour got a single win and Starmer proceeded to drive the party into its worst polling in generations by courting the right.
we CANNOT let Brian Schatz be the next Senate minority leader - he literally eats toothpaste for breakfast and thinks it's food
Honestly, Brian Schatz is dumb as hell, just a rock with a mouth
damn that movie Labor Days hard
imo far less to do with "legal realism" than to do with the same obfuscation they were doing pre-Nov 2024 (if there were legal realists at the Times, I think you'd see evidence outside of the inconvenient headlines they avoid on a literal daily basis)
a brief tour of your online presence led me to the easy conclusion that the only person who's liver is on its last leg is you, my overfed friend
watching Property tonight!
I need this more than anything I've ever needed in my entire life
given the bankruptcy and claims against what remains of his estate, Rudy had to hire a security service that bills by the inch
(for the uninitiated, a cousin of the "laugh test" is the "Dr. Seuss test", which this does not pass)
"He domestic violenced inside a bar, he domestic violenced inside the car. His face she slapped and out the door she ran, into Rudy's headlights it's true my fam."
did the picture of the tiger fall over on him?
there's no real effective way to design *any* constitutional system if the actors it seeks to constrain have no real interest or motivation in being constrained
horseshit, the next election is more than 3 years away, dummy
heh, cuomo's gonna get walloped so hard they're gonna have to cancel his brother's free internet show
i don't know that this is working. my first reaction was "someone should beat that guy up again" 🤷
New York’s hottest club is Blame Zohran Mamdani for Crimes Committed While Eric Adams Is Mayor Under Laws Signed by Andrew Cuomo. It’s got everything—corrections officers who aren’t registered to vote in New York City, etc etc etc
for me, it was imagining a staffer coming up to him hurriedly and saying "people think you're dead, sir"

And now government doctors got my entire channel removed. Don’t worry. I won’t base my entire identity around this or claim it is worse than covid. 😂
whoops, literally missed and commented to myself. im really good at this
It's not intentional. I've been trying to do Pulp Fiction for 30 minutes, it just keeps coming out as Harry Met Sally quotes
that's what they do when u die and shit
u see he's mad because 8 years ago they were in the same bar wearing the same shirts and our man pat said this:
my innate mistrust of anything that compliments me has served me well. if they invent a chatbot that negs you my shit is finished
go fuck a thesaurus
“End-run” “Pushing limits” “Unusual” “Redefining” “Challenging norms” “Boldly upending” Sounds heroic, muscular. Our English language already contains the word illegal. No need to craft misleading/laudatory synonyms for suspending our Constitution. In this dangerous moment, we must speak clearly.
crazy how russia was able to identify this guy as useful lol
no shit
...are people supposed to be eating them?
Senator, you're often described by media outlets as an up-and-comer within the Democratic party. Can you explain why every social media post you make is full of Democratic commenters saying you suck at your job?
today is 8/29/25 and senator elissa slotkin refuses to acknowledge that she's picked up a fucking newspaper all damn year.
you should turn your idea into a movie and call it "heaven, but awesome"
*underrated 18 month update
"I used to teach the short story to college students, and they all seemed to think the last line should tie up everything in a big satin bow with the moral attached like a gift tag...But for me, the best short fiction works through discomfort. A reader shouldn’t know what it all means at the end."
the dude is 41 and hasn't had a serious job in 18 years!
I just (re)started playing this a month ago and I'm embarrassingly (re)hooked
(it occurs to me now that constitutional law broadly could be described this way too, alas)
I mean, you say they're shockingly broad while the principal laws congress created under the 14th (VRA particularly) are on constitutional hospice care?
I'm just here so that when someone (inevitably!) searches "Andrew Galvin cishet", they see this post. Hello, people from the future! 🙂🫡🌈
honest question: isn't anything to do with voting *very squarely* 10th amendment territory except insofar as it interferes with explicit constitutional exceptions in the 14th/15th (and shrinkingly so at that?) ?
As an Oregonian, I'm fine with ending mail-in voting as long as we also limit polling locations to one office in Portland and one office in Burns
I feel like the Daily Show in the aughts was our honest-to-god most successful if unintentional version of this
suprised to learn that the director of "Dances With Wolves in Space" sucks shit, im in pieces...
what a dickhead
isn't it nice to see the baby-pictures of the NYT's terrible headlines?
I'd never heard of you before last week, but by now it's pretty clear why so many people make fun of you as a writer and a thinker. This piece is surface-level garbage. Rather than rehash criticisms or make sure mine is unique to dozens of others, I'd just like to second chatham and grossman.
I mean, we're pretty much in standing-in-front-of-bulldozer territory to save a lot of them at this point, and I'm sorry but I have to work that day 😐
hey bro, hope you're having a shitty day (looks like it from here!)
for me it was when I realized the Elizabeth Warren et als were taking the $11 from those "help us fight trump!" emails and using it to pay consultants who tell them to disregard the swine that shelled out that 11 bucks
you probably shouldn't be surprised that your legal podcast is at least an order of magnitude more serious than Asha's legal podcast (I'm not joking)
Canada's anger **is** righteous ya dizzy fuckin paint-eater
as a voter who lives in a city, if candidate-A says something nice about the rurals, I'm docking them 1-point per incident, on my private not public primary voting ledger 🤟
basic human rights are not something u put up to debate like some influencer game show shit
I like that you qualified "(legal) powers" as though that isn't the whole ballgame
a better newspaper wouldn't publish fucking idiots...
damn, would've loved to listen to a debate on whether matt yglesias should have rights, what a bummer :(
(i'm kidding of course, but the idea of peter doing a 180 on iran policy and nobody ever mentioning it is for some reason really funny to me)
peter would take the money...
if you said this to me in person I'd punch you in the nose, mister lake county, in case you're thinking of taking this dumb little routine of yours on the road
imo the most annoying thing about politics is you can spend 25 years following it and no matter how much time you devote, people are still going to find new, random ignorant dipshits to listen to until you're like "omg who the fuck is this ettingermentum loser?!?"
AP should be mourning your own dead journalists instead of doing whatever this is 🖕
What the fuck are you talking about
you mean in the jail run by their best friends in the world? bet they let them use the microwave and everything
won't that get interlocutory appealed up to scotass in like 3 seconds before there's even a plea?
uh, federal officers, immunity from prosecution etc.?
the reason is because federal officers have immunity from prosecution when they're on the clock 😕
lovely sentiment, would be stellar if it were remotely true (they have fucking immunity and Krasner knows that)
everyone's going to be calling the U.K. "europe's cleft butthole" by the end of the month at this rate
tell that one pro-police council member to go suck a dead dog's dick 🫡
my local nacho prices spike 400% every day at 4:20pm, can't figure it out...

DiCaprio doesn’t even seem like a guy who fucks in real life. This is why the departed is his best performance
even as the world is completely falling to pieces im still able to worry everyone’s mad at me which really shows the resilience of the neurotic human spirit
your face is a distraction from the vaccuum of space that exists directly behind your forehead, senator
