Bisexuals are the Hufflepuffs of LGBT

Wearing a gold chain under my suit to court is the Italian man version of wearing lingerie to feel powerful

This is the kind of defense I only run when my client is guilty but I'm hoping for nullification. Sure, it's "battery on a law enforcement officer" in a technical sense but is that what those words mean to you, juror?

The fact that we sent all those dogs and chimpanzees to die developing space travel really seems like a waste if all it led up to now is Billionaires jerking off recreationally in low orbit.

i'm rewatching every bill murray movie again over the holidays just in case.

It's absolutely a powerhouse kitchen utensil, especially one that has whisk and food processor attachments

if you ask me:

at some point you should decide whether you will accept the discipline imposed by your material objectives and commitments or the "discipline" imposed by your resentments.

the ruling classes would like nothing more than to choose for you (you'll never believe which they'd prefer!)

Judge we're requesting a continuance of the trial set for next week, Mercury is supposed to be in retrograde that whole week

A truly insane Florida thing nobody is talking about is Palm Beach County sending $135 Million dollars to Israel through a bond purchase to support Israeli war efforts.

I sure hadn't heard of County/municipal governments supporting foreign governments, seems real weird, real bad, real Florida.

No jury would convict

It only differs from a lynching in that there was a jury, official records were kept, the process was open to public scrutiny, the defendant had lawyers for his defense, the judge was independent of the prosecution, proceedings were conducted according to law, and sam bankman-fried is still alive.

You are living in the space between wanting to fuck the weird townie and wanting to be the weird townie

My four year-old niece to Hannah: You look like a boy

Hannah: This is gender euphoria

ritchie torres is the marjorie taylor green of the democratic party

My friend keeps sending AI generated images of wizards doing groceries and it’s honestly probably the only good use of AI

You're going to be complicit in genocide if you vote for Biden. You're going to be complicit in genocide if you don't vote for Biden.

To live in an Empire is to always be complicit in evil, though we did not choose it. You still have an obligation to do the less wrong thing. You can't escape the wrongness by abstaining from participation. You must chart a path out of the tragedy by first accepting that you're in one.

Martha Nussbaum in "The Fragility of Goodness" uses Greek tragedy to develop the idea. She rejects utilitarianism's attempt to absolve one from moral responsibility, while also acknowledging that through "moral luck" we can end up in such situations through no fault of our own.

The concept of "tragedy" is useful for strategy. There are some situations in which there is no way not to do something wrong, as you can be pitted between two evils.

There may be a "better" between them, but to be authentically human, we must still acknowledge the one we choose is still very bad

Thanksgiving this year is going to be a battle royale of intra-family, intergenerational arguments about israel

There's a lot of outrage about this in ALAA, the union that represents workers at every other public defender office (and many other offices) in NYC. I have to imagine Victoria's former colleagues at New York County Defender Services are busy signing union cards today.

Police PR people are definitely taking note of the "human shields" rhetoric and we'll be seeing more of it to justify police shooting bystanders in the near future.

In all the years I’ve worked for DSA I’ve never worked as closely with an electoral campaign as I did with this abortion campaign in Ohio and I gotta say, I get it. I get why people love the electoral cycle. Tonight we either win or lose, and that’s it. That’s cool! Hope we win

All institutions of international law are facing the same problem, and arguably have since their inception. But it feels like it's getting worse in this situation.

As someone who's generally thought Biden has done much better than I expected going into his Presidency, the Gaza crisis is the first time in his Presidency I've thought he clearly did worse than a different (non-Bernie) Dem likely would've under the same circumstances.
