As a kid, I decided to be baptised in a pair of white jeans. I remember regretting the decision immensely. We denim is not fun.

Abstract This essay is a response for a symposium on my book, Against Constitutional Originalism: A Historical Critique. It responds to criticisms made against it
while further developing the book's central themes. It contends that the problem of historical ruptureβ€” that the eighteenth-century U.S. Constitution presupposed a very different way of thinking about constitutionalism and law than reigns todayβ€”is the most important problem implicated by the theory of constitutional originalism, and yet remains largely neglected. It further contends that were originalists to finally confront this problem, the theory could not
survive that reckoning, not without abandoning its
definino features

@jgienapp.bsky.social responds at great length to critics of his criticism of originalism. It’s a tour de force. read it. papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

Whoa, no. Send them into the belly of the beast alone? That is traumatizing to be in such an unfriendly place alone for people already in pain. Maybe a partial boycott but have plenty of protection available to insulate any invitees from harm. Like full force wall of blue around them

The drunk uncle theory.

You don’t argue with the casually homophobic uncle at Thanksgiving dinner to change his mind; you argue so that the closeted cousin at the kids table knows there’s safe people and better possibilities out there

The Story Of The Rogue Burger King In Pittsburgh Every city has its own fast food urban legend, here's Pittsburgh's.

I am bereft to have just learned that some people are unfamiliar with the fake Burger King war, which I can corroborate because I briefly lived down the street

This image of a priest in camouflage vestments has been floating around online since at least 2016- a friend wondered if it was AI, and out of curiosity/procrastination, I found out it's a photo by William Koontz of the 1st Battalion, 22nd Infantry Regiment.

Right-wing Heritage Foundation’s own data shows fewer than 100 noncitizens voted since 1982 (!!!)

I am trying to push down the revulsion of seeing a 60ish year old man holding hands with a teenage/early 20s woman. I try not to judge or yuck others consensual relationships but damn it is a viseral reaction for me. And it is not just because of SteinEps documents that I feel this way

Kinda sucks that we're hazing kids with deadly illnesses for no reason when they could simply have a vaccine and not get the horrible disease in question.

So as we are in #mardigras season, I am watching lots of videos on traditions. Cause I was raised Southern Baptist (I know...) and we didn't have this stuff. Please explain to me why it is a sin to put tomatoes in gumbo
