How can she sit on THIS court and say that the justices deserve their seats bc they “earned” them?

Since when was Sam Alito a law prof?

The Budget friendly version: Cut the beard off stonewall and you have a passable Sherman

Chicago should be enacting congestion pricing not hosting nascar. Come to think of it, now’s a good time to start the pricing

I would bet those exceptions aren’t soulless bc they approximate features of urban living: walkable core, relative density, some transit options.

How else would they know that their product is inelastic??

When will Liverpool play someone decent??

Really enjoyed this! One thing glossed over regarding the puzzle—why did conservatives support ending coal— is the fact that closing coal production served to break the back of a union stronghold. The production of coal, far more than oil or nat gas, facilitates organized labor

Don’t forget that now your tax data is being disclosed to some sweaty 23 year old DOGEr with a pornographic Twitter handle

This anxiety is aptly demonstrated by the melancholy that inhabits fukuyama’s notorious essay

As alarming as this, it should prompt dems to take court reform seriously when/if they ever get back into power

This sounds like a Thomas Friedman sequel

Keep it going to rosehill!

Thought you did a good job but it was a pity the convo stayed mostly at the level of theory and didn’t engage with the reality of thousands of people losing their livelihoods and having little to no recourse bc of the conservative obsession with unitary exec theory

Pilates studios do themselves no favors by refusing to name themselves “pontius”

This fan fic idea has legs. Der Kink

Nah. There’s a difference between criticizing the media landscape and criticizing media institutions. The latter means obsessing about how the nytimes frames its headlines.

Totally! And they should approve. I just think Trump’s desire to be seen as the savior of New York stems in part from a lingering resentment that he’s been rejected by his home city so many times

I dunno brutalism declined a while ago and those buildings are still ugly af

Game’s gone

Amazing that after all this time he still desperately cares what New Yorkers think of him

Love a sneaky leftist reading of Machiavelli, but The Prince remains a pretty handy guide for maintaining oligarchic domination. The parallels between Borgia and d’Orco and trump and musk are striking tho trump might swap a twitter tirade and denunciation for public execution

This is a great point and I’m glad you’ve highlighted it. But the phrase “the flying public” suggests a concerned avian constituency

The courts are a refuge even more dubious than the Democratic Party. They enabled this whole thing

Not to mention the amount of bureaucratic logistics that made this photo-op possible

The groundwork for Trumps’s anti -constitutional blitz was laid by the right’s decades long juridical project. Unitary executive theory was just asking for him to come along

Build dense housing where people want to live. This isn’t about “land”

Totally. For egg prices to pierce the veil of ignorance, they have to spray painted orange and given a blonde wig. This thread is giving Gyorgy Lukacs and I’m here for it

This gets to the asymmetrical distrust in the rule of law that has the left fighting with one arm behind its back. Everything from defiance of EOs to court reform should be on the table
