They should stop!
“I was as surprised as you to learn that as it happens, my own wife (unlike you malingering communists) deserves to live through a Covid infection.”

Eso es.
If you’re going to plain text have the courage to go “Barrel Cracker” Stand for something!
Read this out loud in front of a restaurant. Congratulations you’ve just committed slander.
Better than “Slipping Through My Fingers” I suppose.
Boy have I got news for you.
Of all the ways to get in to the mix.
But of course that’s not the point they’re making.
The good faith point is that for good or ill, jargon—especially humanities academic jargon—obscures more than enlightens, and is easily caricatured by, well, by the Third Way, and it’s much better to just use easy to understand words to explain concepts to voters who are not exactly literate.
::Trump, chuckling:: “How am I supposed to live without you, Kash?”
“white-shirt cops” is visceral af.
Client’s screwed anyway. Let ‘er rip.
::Gary Oldman “everrryone”.gif::
Christ [i]n a cracker [barrel parking lot]!
It’s a question of how gruesome the journey and I can’t even guess. Hoping for “not gruesome by any relevant contemporary standard,” but resigned to something more gruesome.
We’ll eat fried apples til we both turn blue.
It’s not close!
What does it mean? To be geometrically more divorced than Scott Adams? It’s the Divorce That Passeth Understanding.
(Parenthetically, I thought Moulton got off to a somewhat shaky start at 1AD but has grown into a really sharp appellate judge.)
I can’t see Friedman’s position getting the votes of all four of Garcia, Cannataro, Singas, and Troutman (though probably 2 of the four), but I am very sure the Court of Appeals itself does not want to render a wildly split decision on the AG’s authority.
The door could not hit his reputation in the ass harder on the way out than this grotesque piece of advocacy will.
This is the definitive thread on the significance of today’s highly unusual Appellate Division, First Department decision in the Trump business fraud case. Written by a practitioner who knows what he’s talking about. Much more so than take your pick among legal talking heads. Good stuff.
I was not clear on the extent of Friedman’s *political* crankery (he’s long been a giant pain at oral argument) until I watched the argument in this case. And boy howdy has he cemented his legacy.
Come to think of it, Atlanta boasts at least two of the greatest album runs of all time. Mastodon, noted, and OutKast’s Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik—>Atliens—>Aquemini—>Stankonia run. There’s something really compelling about this pairing.
For me, Leviathan->Blood Mountain->Crack the Skye is an all time great run of albums.
Awful news. Can we quit it with the motorcycles please?
Favorite metal album of all time. Incredible groove to the thing and those guys can *play*. Terrible news.
I mean why doesn’t someone at the DNC call for TWO general strikes? That would be twice as effective, no?

Trump is a once in a century lightning in a bottle cult of personality and there’s no accounting for it. His revolting je ne sais quoi is the only thing keeping it together. There’s no iron fisted politburo to spit out another.
Spiteuality
Works on a couple levels, bro.
And on top of it all you can vote against it then take credit for the improvements later!
If the question is “what is going to happen when it sinks in that the USD can no longer function as a reserve currency because of opacity and corruption?” —my answer is “Something very bad. Probably many very bad things with second and third order effects I am unqualified to predict.”
At some point (should have happened already but we’re too busy playing hot potato with volatility) the stove will stay hot and Captial will panic and all of this will have been equally predictable.
Yes, naturally. I agree Trump is a nihilist and disagree that he’s an atheist bc both theism and atheism require principles of some kind.
Atheism is an ideological commitment, and the only one of Trump’s I can suss out is mercantilism.
NY and CA gonna f around and issue “Stablemarques”
That’s fewer than 30 misconduct complaints each!
This guy? Not a chance.
Highest and best use for Newsom.
So? He sees a red fence and he wants it painted black.
With *this* US Attorney? And this case of Kirkland rose? Even if I miss I can’t miss.
Jews who take issue with you endorsing and promoting revisionist history literally championed by neo-Nazis and the KKK about the lynching of an American Jew in Atlanta, Georgia 33 years before Israel even existed aren’t engaged in “liberal Zionist tone policing”
"How bad slavery was" is worse. Much worse. Much worse than you think, much worse than you're taught, much worse than museums depict. Worse.
In fairness we are *also* going to litigate how unaccomplished (?) the downtrodden (?) are(?). For the first (?) time!
Kulturkampf specialists.
forget David Duke and Meir Kahane. “Zio” is and has only been used as a slur. “Never Again” is not. These are apples and oranges and you should know that.
“Never again” did not start as an antisemitic slur or live its entire life as an antisemitic slur in neo Nazi forums, so no, I wouldn’t.
“Zio” = end of conversation
100% All time lightning in a bottle moment in music history deserves its proper ending. I wonder whether someone has played with the levels on that coda before to emphasize Duane over the somewhat more accompaniment style piano. I would very much like to hear that.
(Ed. Note: Duane Allman also played guitar in that coda.)

“Jeg kan gi deg «BOFA»-prisen nå, herr president.”
The @dieworkwear.bsky.social of candidates.
If you check “Irish” or “Italian” do you get a pop up that says “NOT SO FAST”?
Clooney isn’t even in my top 3 preferred candidates from the cast of “O Brother Where Art Thou” (Tim Blake Nelson, Holly Hunter, Turturro). I admit that if we’re picking from the cast of “Return of the Killer Tomatoes” or “Three Kings,” let’s nominate Clooney, by all means.
What Kav. is saying is that Mississippi has some interest in enforcing this “likely unconstitutional” law while the case proceeds that outweighs the harm visited on Netchoice by living under that unconstitutional law. BUT I’M NOT TELLING YOU WHAT IT IS KTHXBYE
If it’s coming down to balancing the equities, it’s time to explain yourself!
To flesh this out a tiny bit more, “balancing of the equities” is generally third on the list of factors to consider on an emergency application (behind (1) irreparable harm in the absence of relief and (2) likelihood of success on the merits).
I am also convinced that good speech notwithstanding, Newsom is a nihilistic monster.
I am convinced that loudly and repeatedly observing that all of this behavior is profoundly weak and desperate is a, maybe *the*, primary tool of keeping democracy intact.
sandwich guy got charged with one count of monte cristo
Gotta do colonoscopy prep to shit out so many incoherent takes in a single episode.
That’s an added bonus. My opposition to asbestos—and in this way I guess I’m really a normie-anti— is principally motivated by my desire to see children burn to death.
The long-term Republican strategy to impose national Jim Crow can and should be distinguished analytically from the Trump regime. The former is durable and slowly but steadily expanding. The latter is flailing
These are big libertarians so you must implicitly trust that this is the right move!
My in laws live in Houston about 20 minutes from Hobby and more than an hour from IAH and gotta say: hard agree.
Slightly diminish a bad: The Wu Tang Klatch
The mere thought of deposing this witness, defended by this lawyer, is physically exhausting.
See if it was me complaining that jokes about a widely shared rumor that I was sleeping with someone were defamatory, I’d try not to volunteer things like “everybody knows Lindsey Graham is gay” in my deposition.
I imagine there’s some sort of generative ersatz hypnotist who could convince you to forget it.
the thing everyone is going to have to accept is that the post-trump period, whenever it comes, will not and cannot be a project of national unity, it must be a project of partisan project of renewal, in the same way that reconstruction and the new deal were partisan projects of renewal.
Collectively, capital loves hot potato with volatility more than basically anything else and re the losses, as you say.
Hey r/legaladvice! Looking for a form advance directive for my fiancAI Portia with a provision that if she goes woke I can unplug. Neither of us wants me to stay married to a vegetAIble. TIA
Sorry! *she’s*
It’s at least a gigabyte.
This is a serious issue. How do we effect good service of divorce papers on a piece of software?
These MFs need to beget themselves an editor.
Let your hard work breathe a little, I say. As they might say, the legal profession was BEGAT by fastidious typesetters.
Online Nazis, otoh, use it all the time!
Be-get the fuck outta here with this garbled nonsense!
Also, and less importantly but still sheesh, learn how to text wrap your headings FFS!
Veil is gossamer thin at this point.
Pairs well with the Loomer/Trump situationship.
Let’s not get too carried away with the Hitler comparisons. It’s not like these guys are *also* building literal bunkers in which they are not unlikely to terminate their ruined existences, surrounded by a few equally geeked out toadies.
He’s in (and was well before his current title upgrade) the business of delivering fig leaves and outright nonsense to like minded toadies. And business has never been better. So, to answer your question: yes?
I clicked for the deposition transcript but I gotta say that Klayman’s objections are…not very good.
Here in Westchester county and, I’m told, in nearby parts of Connecticut and literally nowhere else in the universe, let alone anywhere else in the NY metropolitan area, we call them “wedges.” www.lohud.com/story/news/l...
They’ll never be INCENTED with attitudes like this!
Not the point but I’m not about to let “incent” ride, as a construction.
I’m afraid it’s worse than that.
I 100% think this about Unforgiven.
Daddy can revoke privileges (which we don’t deserve) more easily than rights
