They’re calling it “Grinchmaxxing”

I think zoomers need to learn the old ways. Retvrn to tradition.

You don’t need to read Mein Kampf when you can just sit in your room listening to “Aerials” by System of a Down on repeat.

What’s sad is that the America of 1997-2002 basically solved the problem of teenage male culture. In an earlier era these guys would all have just become Juggalos.

Weird to see people describe this place like it's the Comintern when in reality it's 80% people passively aggressively debating whether you have to mask at PTA meetings or whatever.

Extremely bad, very bleak.

I think Fallout Boy did write another version of that song and it was terrible. It was just a bunch of references to, like, Tiger King and Minecraft and stuff.

Stagflation, anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, new Star Wars franchise, President doing crimes, national guard deployed to American cities. If the Steelers can put together a solid defense we're back in business.

Get in loser, we're reviving procedural due process.

We're doing New Property again. Every day the 1970s is more back.

Judge Cobb prevents the removal of Lisa Cook from the Federal Reserve, holding that removal for cause only covers in-office conduct. She also holds that Cook has a constitutionally protected property interest in her position and therefore a right to a hearing.

Firing up my Charles Reich laser eyes meme in case SCOTUS recognizes a protected property interest in a position on the Federal Reserve Board of Governors.

Extremely cool that these people run CBS News now.

The Intellectual Dark Web dares to ask forbidden questions like, "Who is Robert Dahl?" and "What are his books about?"

Genuinely confused. Did she think this was a different book?

Wait is Robert Dahl woke now? Can’t imagine a funnier book to have a moral panic about.

It was a boomcession

Hearing a 7-year-old scream "I hate music. It's BORING" as I try to listen to Townes Van Zandt.

I don't care for it, but I guess they're still a few years away from getting into outlaw country.

Literally the only music my kids will listen to.

Fourth Circuit holds that states lack standing to sue to enjoin the removal of thousands of federal employees.

Another win for legal realism. [Insert Louis Brandeis with laser eyes here]

This is key. The diminishment of SCOTUS will become a sociological fact before it becomes codified in law. That process is now very well underway.

Yes, but they might want to hedge their bets in the event that that attempt fails. (As it stands, they seem to be YOLOing)

It's very easy to push the message that if you are a Democrat, or a member of a Democratic constituency, the Court does not meaningfully protect your life, liberty, or property anymore.

A politically savvy Supreme Court might think a little bit about why the Democrats would want to protect it at all when they get back into power.

I really think that by 2028, middle-aged, normie, small-c conservative Democrats will be totally, enthusiatically receptive to dramatic court reform. Which is something that has never been true before.

What I find most interesting is that every single demographic ranked "having fame and influence" dead last, which is not the impression you get from, like, TikTok discourse.

"Dems need to wait to pick a fight on a winning issue" is just a strange sentiment to express when the administration is currently deeply underwater on *every* issue, including its signature ones like immigration.
