Tuned in at the airport just in time to watch the Spirit kick PKs, since the airport experience now clearly needs more stress

Floating the idea of a Middle Earth TTRPG campaign where you work at the Prancing Pony and your boss has sent you to collect seven dollars from the Black Rider who did seven dollars worth of damage while roughly looking for the Fellowship.

Also, I don't think it's great to cover up a Nazi tattoo with something Norse, given how much neo-Nazis use that imagery

This sounds like a plot point in a Philip K Dick novel (I think Ubik)

I thought it was bad when a firm just asked for my GPA. I've been practicing for 14 years. No one beyond an admissions office should care about LSAT scores

I also genuinely miss those niche forums and fun websites that were less interested in advertising revenue and more interested in highlighting people's weirdness

For 26 but especially 2028 it's time for Democrats to make clear that the current Supreme Court will have to be reformed (expanded in number, reformed in structure) to allow popular govt to continue in the United States. Not so much a litmus test as precondition for any other promise to be credible.
