Waitress: “do you want spicy?”

Dave [mindful of the week of committed drinking in the rear view, waffling]: “hmmm.”

Waitress: “it’s European spicy”

Dave: “spicy”

Oui

"the state can just summarily imprison someone without filing charges or holding a trial" doesn't just overturn democracy it overturns 1000 years of common law, like throwing out the entire legal system entirely and saying all people in America are the state's property.

this is Mohsen Mahdawi, the green card holder who was just arrested by ICE for rendition at his citizenship interview

@shawnwestfall.bsky.social I’m listening to “Separation Sunday” for the first time in years and thought of you! “Lord to be 33 forever” 🥹

Schumer is such a loser that he's getting dunked on by noted firebrands Susan Rice and Neera Tanden.

Trump just distills the 4+ decades of the conservative legal movement, with all its theory building and so-called scholarship, down to its core essence: a corrupt power grab.

I realize that this is unhelpful, but I truly believe that Joe Biden failed to protect the American people from *waves hand at all of it* and we have to openly talk about how and why he failed so we can get people to believe in a movement against Trump again.

Millennials are a goldilocks generation raised in the narrow window between leaded gasoline and social media and hooooo boy is that showing these days

in this house, we have heckin' doggos, we adult like a boss, we drink IPAs, we listen to Matt and Kim, and we also are apparently the only age cohort meaningfully committed to liberal democracy

Tonight has been a real journey with Disney

I hated Elon Musk wayyyyyy before it was cool

friendly reminder that the best case scenario over the coming years is that a lot of people say "I supported Trump but this isn't what I wanted at all" and when they do that it's gonna be really, really important that we say "welcome in," not "fuck you, we told you so"

My cute gay little primary care practice I've gone to for 15 years became a part of @nyulangone.bsky.social and now it's impossible to get an appointment 😱

Climate change is a cost of living issue.

I was repeatedly told that the fever would break

What is with the people who regularly look at your profile on The Apps but never respond to your declarations of mutual interest? So weird!

it's horrendously cold in NYC but on the other hand my butt looks amazing in long underwear

These executive orders on banning federally funded entities from recognizing trans people or disallowing them from using the bathroom are not self-executing or immediately enforceable. They require formal rule making at a minimum. They are a scare tactic. Ignore and do not comply in advance.

The White House ordering DOJ to drop pending prosecutions is a breach of the department’s traditional independence that would be an earthshaking scandal under ordinary circumstances.

It will be very funny if they execute him.

This dude wrote “The Game” and certainly deeply furthered PUA culture so I’m not sure he’s in the business of feeling embarrassed about the things he writes about
