"we bombed the shit out of a country with no plan at all for what comes after, because that shit is woke"

this is unbelievably bad

man. stewie and plum can fuck right off.

Man, that prof sucks lol.

And you’re absolutely right that the real solution is on the data privacy side of things and basically killing this sort of data broker stuff.

Mine is "inauguration," which comes up kinda often in my line of work. More embarrassing? I used to have a job where part of my title was "liaison," a word I cannot spell right for love or money.

We easily spent a couple hundred bucks most months at Target, and I suspect we're fairly representative of Minnesotans (a friend with 2 kids laughed in my face and said "we are for sure double that") and I literally know zero people here who still go there on the regular.

Its one thing to read the histories and realize that fascism is an ideology by and for weird losers who suck at everything, and another to live through it

oh ok cool great seems fine and won't be a quagmire at all

reading over Malliotakis v. Williams and lowkey think New York courts/the NY Redistricting Commission should be like...since the Supreme Court clearly lacked jurisdiction to intervene in the case at this time, we are treating it as the nonbinding advisory opinion that it is, thanks for the input tho

I can't stop thinking about this and what it unleashes and how the Court's conservatives are clearly signaling that (1) nothing binds them, fuck you and (2) come one, come all* (*all limited to conservatives and evangelicals and big business) to seek relief from big mean blue state courts.

Even floating the kurds plan is insane given what the Trump admin did with Turkey. It was only 7 years ago!

It often feels like you can't get a lot of leverage against big companies like this, but I that law firms en masse walking away from Westlaw would be a huge hit, and firms large and small should consider it. Law schools too (I say, regretfully, having had full WL access for teaching for 15+ years)

Serious Q: Does the U.S. call for armed militia uprisings and also maybe the Kurds (?) stay in effect if the clerics pick Mojtaba Khamenei as a leader? Which is perhaps my way of asking if the admin plans on honoring that pick if it happens.

video taken in downtown minneapolis today of reported bounty hunters PULLING A GUN on someone standing in the road in front of city hall. (business on the van is fake.) hennepin county sheriff’s deputies were right behind and did nothing

video by government employee who saw it on their lunch break

TV Reacher is literally so goddamn satisfying. Alan Ritchson is the size of a house and conservatives are so furious that a "big strong dude from the military" character is being played by a guy who rocks an "Arrest the cops that killed Breonna Taylor" shirt and calls Trump a rapist and a con man.

that makes sense actually. the closest thing i've found is a pro se criminal party being allowed to withdraw a voluntary dismissal, but that makes more sense both in terms of being more accommodating to a pro se party and because of the whole loss of liberty consequences at stake.

trying my damndest on Westlaw to find anything even remotely comparable and coming up empty

This reads as quite a damning indictment of your field

Trump Administration, in Reversal, Tries to Continue Fight Against Law Firms

this is absolutely unhinged. the DOJ couldn't torch its own reputation more if it tried (gift lnk)

as a fan of midcentury modern stuff i can never afford, i'd long ago stalked this chair to see if i could ever purchase it, but since it has stayed firmly in the five-figure range, that's been a nope. platner is such a fraud.

if i lived somewhere that didn't have have the winter weather we do, where salt and sand eventually eat thru the floorboards of a vintage auto, i'd buy an old truck and a 1980s BMW 5 series sedan in a heartbeat

sigh. i do indeed

I mean, if we're all pretending that Nazi McOysterboy Private School Failson Platner is a rough-and-tumble working class guy, why not Mayor Pete?

The Dream

so, we've been at war with Iran for 47 years, but we are not in a war now, because we are in a "combat operation." do i have that right?

I cannot stress how unprepared i was for this even with the warning

I’m calling it: it is now unconstitutional for law professors to cite the Wire. I realize that this rule will be unfair in many cases, but we just can‘t be trusted

Quote from Washington Times editorial board "[Radical liberals] don't realize that, when they express contempt for the man who holds the country's highest office, they reveal their contempt for the Americans who put him there."

Uh no...we definitely realize it.

absolute shitheel behavior here
