a lot of legacy news outlets are used to leaning on government sources. but now those sources are all radicalized freaks, and there's been no adjustment for that.

In absolute earnest, I think terror of “elitism” has put a powerful vocabulary for describing what’s going on here out of play. These people are vulgar, thuggish, unsophisticated, crass, unschooled, unreflective. They are low in a sense that has nothing to do with income, & it’s fine to say so.
Strip malls don’t have food courts
here's the asshole whose name was redacted. www.ice.gov/doclib/leade...
I remember a video (circa 2019) of some Coasties jumping onto a semi-submersible to apprehend the drug traffickers. Some real hero shit, something to be proud of. This is shameful.
can you imagine if all that were a single county
I mean the new one is objectively shittier, though I’m not sure how it’s “woke”
Dead giveaway tho they call him “Democrat Assemblymember” and not “Democratic Assemblymember”
Not to mention for tax purposes
"I prefer not to have to move in court to stop you or your client from leaking." What court, my man? The court of Guy Code? There's no filed case yet!
I think she's saying that Republicans work with Democrats to extract concessions and then vote against the bill anyway
They always make me think of Rodney Dangerfield’s film “Ladybugs”, like some kid is just throwing on a wig and playing on the girls’ team
The description on Congress’ website seems to say the opposite
Wait are they all staying at the Hyatt?
A judge visited our class in law school and told of a lawyer who objected to the question "What's your name" because it was hearsay; the witnesses mother told him his name. But yes, technically just about everything is hearsay.
When I was a JAG the promotion rate to 0-4 was 95%. I can’t speak to other job codes but I would imagine it’s a little lower for infantry officers, and probably close to 100% for service academy grads
I just remembered in Trump’s first term he was mad about something and then started talking about “Obamagate” and nobody knew what he was talking about
This is way more common than most people realize, especially places with limited personnel where it’s difficult to replace people
This is simply a more detailed explanation of how landlords have pocketed consumer surplus
I’m a firm believer that the judiciary should be representative of the legal profession, and to have justices with views held by <5% of lawyers is bad
Have you tried Habit Grill? If you like 30 Burgers then you'd probably like Habit when you're outside Jersey
Pepsi is possibly the worst soft drink
The regulations are trash. Secdef is supposed to be kept in the dark (to avoid UCI), but then is also the approval authority
Immigration is a “form of discrimination”?
Even the signature is stupid
I thought you apply to a lottery?
the gay one's gun being a blow dryer killed me
Is WEF the World Economic Forum?
Surreal to just see it completely normalized that a decision so large is fully relegated to the mental institution that is the current White House, with no attempt by them to engage the public on the question, nor the international community at large, nor Congress. Just mad king stuff
I assume he had no idea it was a holiday and he got mad when they told him the WH kitchen was closed
The Republican party’s superpower is faking being mad about shit
271 meters is like half the Empire State Building
“Please preserve all the evidence of your crimes you have”
I imagine they will use the military to help red states when there's an emergency, then just claim no emergency exists or it's Dem leadership's fault when there's a disaster in blue states
There will still be aide for red states. The point of getting rid of FEMA is so there’s no obligation to help blue states.
The fact these two things are happening at the same time is not an accident
Also just don’t post photos of the nastiest looking tacos known to man
Also a dude who 100% deserved prosecution. He’d already done the exact same thing and gotten fined.
Working in a SCIF sucks, I can confirm.
Yes and in DC you’ll get a ticket for going 27 in a 25. I like NY’s system but there are limits
However annoying you find me, to win a presidential election Democrats need the support of people who are more conservative than Yglesias and to win a senate majority they need an even bigger tent than that.
I thought the same thing, but maybe there’s some rule against paying for endorsements?
Are “dumb as a rock” and “standard fare” references to Springsteen songs? Is Trump a super fan?
The tiny saving grace here is that these asshats are so captured by their own delusions that they can’t (yet) bring themselves to just demand the AI lie, which is what it will take to get the thing to validate their worldview.
Maybe instead of 30 dolls she gets one. And maybe it costs a few dollars more. And maybe it contains the transferred soul of Charles Lee Ray. And maybe it's always yelling "Ade due Damballa. Give me the power, I beg of you." It's fine.
I think we get so used to using words like “marginalized” with the subtext “unjustly” that we need to periodically remind ourselves that some people and ideas are marginalized for excellent reasons, and have little value to add except possibly as object lessons in pathology.
Is this in reference to the next UN Ambassador?
The funniest part of this story is that it’s based in Montecito.
Why does Hornsby get the “significantly weaker oppo” treatment but not Ruth?
I legit thought they brought back plastic straws
Worth noting that only a fraction of students get jobs through OCI than did 3 years ago. Every firm uses direct applications now.
This Passover I’m thinking hard about the holiday’s history of resistance to tyrannical leaders, and the imperative for Jewish people to stand with all oppressed peoples of the world.
Michelle?
Source?
Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive. No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief. 1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.
Tesla’s PE ratio is 128x, and Musk thinks he’s a victim.
My firm sent a step-by-step guide on what to click and without that I would still be clicking
In fairness, the truck already had a $20K markup over the MSRP, and the dealers would just pocket the extra money.
Probably because Biden couldn’t talk
when was the last time it was this high?
Please end every post with a note on whether that is good or bad for the Niners. Thank you.
In your opinion, is this only applicable to litigation? I think many mid-tier firms wouldn’t even be able to handle some of the m&a/business deal stuff Biglaw does
someone just tried to scold me for calling musk a "foreigner" since he's actually a US citizen and it might be offensive to other immigrants so my apologies to all foreign-born nazis who also cheated their way into citizenship
The court can just subpoena the president and ask him. It’s happened before.
I mean I guess it’s a better deal than Russia getting 100% of the minerals
Kind of inappropriate for the top law enforcement official to appear at an explicitly partisan political event
You begin to appreciate the pace of events: Hitler became Chancellor on January 30. The Reichstag burned on February 27. The Enabling Act was signed on March 23. Dachau opened the day before.
There’s a cure and it’s free and they refuse to use it.
Objectively hilarious that it’s sequentially numbered and one sentence long
Executive oversight of the executive
Merrick Garland emphasizing the importance of swift justice
I’d replace “mysteriously” with “predictably”
The emails from the corporate group at my firm have been hilarious
They voted for Trump. Now they hope he won’t send them to detention camps.
Step #1 - visit local Starbucks or McDonalds until you find somebody working on their laptop (who will be there a while) that looks like you Step #2 - drop you backpack right behind them Step #3 - call local police and claim there's somebody that looks like the shooter Step #4 - leave
