Main thing I’ve been learning since 22 is that legal and customary barriers are not the strong beams holding up society but the caution tape we use to keep from stubbing our toes on political, practical, or violent opposition.

lmao I don’t think Russ holds the kind of hand where this makes any sense.

pchoooooo

Guys, every person you see on Fox News in a mask is just Robert O'Neill, retired Navy Seal and occasional Fox News contributor. He's the former Antifa, former Gazan, former gang member. His eyes are very unique.

200 years ago, Clausewitz wrote the theory on the back-and-forth nature of war and the dynamic of move-countermove in his seminal work "On War."

Charli xcx is realizing his vision.

Clausewitz wrote the theory, Charlsewitz xcx will do the praxis.

My go-to head exploder is that the title of office that gives us The Book of Judges and the senior magistracy Hannibal took up after losing the Second Punic War are the same title.

This is just Old Bay and Huy Fong

Mazel tov!!

pretty baffling take tbh. extremely clear that the Trump admin sees “deals” as a way to replace law with caesarism.

dms are closed but would definitely try to talk about how Shackleton is also a crater on the moon, so in the distant future it's possible that another crew of polar explorers will end up wrecked ON Shackleton

I will say, fun to learn that chag and hajj are cognate, would not have guessed that.

Coulda just written in your own name, buddy, but here we are!

"I didn't vote for Trump to do the stuff Trump said Trump would do, I voted for Trump to do the stuff *I* said Trump would do."

it's interesting! I think the idea behind that norm is to immediately warrant the claim, which both demonstrates good faith and gives it stronger foundation, but I think in practice it functions almost exactly the opposite.

it's not less pathetic when you try to relitigate 2020 than when they do (though it's at least less dangerous). move on.

I understand how we've like walked ourselves backwards into headlines like "Trump Announces Plans to Kill Anyone Who Picks Apples—But Agriculture Experts Say This Might Make Pie More Expensive" but also cmon, this shit is a little self-parodying.

I guess "Stephen Miller tries to Shock and Awe the concept of Latinidad" is also a George plotline. and Mike Johnson shuts down the government to cover up weird sex crimes is a George plotline. We got a government of by and for George.

I always think of this as the George plotline

communist bugs bunny meme instead Roman Empire bugs bunny says "mare NOSTRUM"

candidly I don't think an ethics expert is needed to tender this opinion.

if you said, "i am going to do the single thing that will most obviously raise conflict of interest issues, and whoever has the best suggestion for what it is will get a bonus," then congratulations to whoever said "fire the top lawyer, then make yourself top lawyer" cause YOU'RE GOING TO DISNEYLAND

i really don't see how it might NOT constitute a conflict of interest.

anyway yeah if you fuck around with ORBIS and a contemporary GIS for a couple hours, anywhere that the Roman Empire could have sustained a garrison against local resistance from the shores of the Great Lakes is in the Midwest. that's how it works.

would be extremely funny if we got to Da Strap God and the Ghost of Murrow having a lightsaber fight atop the Broadcast Center while the Duel of the Fates played but I just don't think she's got the juice.
