I had to block the tankie who said Marxists and communists are by definition anti-fascist and one skeet later said that people who ally with facists are facists. Pepperidge farms remembers when the Marxist and communists directly allied with the Nazis.

Breaking WaPo:

Pro- @kenwhite.bsky.social activists who say they are coordination with Popehat are circulating a draft executive order that claims China interfered with People Magazine’s 100 Sexiest Men Alive 2020 voting as a basis to declare an emergency unlocking extraordinary podcasting powers.

Election where the Democratic Party was on the wrong side of prevailing winds.

Same polls show Planter beating Collins. Without commenting on specific merits of Planter vs Mills, I do think people overestimate the incumbency advantage of Maverick politicians in states where an office and presidential voting split. Bob Casey, Rob Portman and Jon Tester all got bounced in an

And appears to be substantially ahead in the primary (granted, primary polling isn’t always great).

Do you know how hard it is to quote tweet on Twitter without it accidentally being a Nazi? That’s like half of twitter.

Why doesn’t Darrell Jackson, the largest of the Jacksons, simply not eat the others?

Every time someone says "we can accomplish something through a nationwide general strike" you can read the same sentence as "we can accomplish something through our latent powers of telekinesis"

This never would have happened if they had just released Half-Life 3.

At least they didn’t mandate he has to be a Jets fan.

Superhero, or just a fake superhero dressing up to take pictures with tourists in time square. Alien goo is making them all gay for the benefit of the DNC’s secret alien masters who generate said alien goo!”

Which is probably a good idea as it would spark unless Alex Jones attention. “Wake up America! The evil alien goo is turning the teenage super heroes gay! This goo is being spread by Hilary Clinton and Zoran Mamdani into the water supply of NYC. And the alien goo doesn’t know if you’re a real

But not evil Spider-Man under the influence of alien goo. Evil alien goo Spider-Man can never be gay.

Your honor, tMarvel comics have posited that there are infinite parallel universes occurring at all times. This means that not only are there alternate universes where Spider-Man’s gay, there are in fact infinite universes where Spider-Man’s gay. Therefore, Marvel has already depicted gay Spider-Man

It also controls how Spidey is depicted, including mandatory character traits, permitted costumes, and approved powers

Which suddenly makes me wish I was a different kind of lawyer...

Sony can’t make Spiderman gay! Only Marvel can make Spiderman gay! And that includes when Spiderman is wearing the Venom goo.

I refuse to believe this is something people can bet on.

What’s the early-modern equivalent? Parades (because of drill)?

I think I'm fourth generation. One of my great grandparents emigrated as Volga German under the reign of Alexander III, presumably because of his Russification policy of the Volga Germans. Considering the further russification under the Bolsheviks and the famines, I say good call great grandparent.

Ugh, I can't believe they are letting Ken talk about the Thac0 for two hours straight.

You should have laughed at Jerry Jones.

I don't like to give legislators credit, but including the disclaimer against requiring ESPs from searching for CSAM in 18 U.S.C. § 2258A was very smart to prevent the ESP monitoring from becoming state action.

Stupid vicarious liability. Why can’t stealing from a customer claiming that it is for the business be within the course and scope of the employee’s duties?

You want a toe? I can get you a toe, believe me. There are ways, Dude. You don't wanna know about it, believe me. Hell, I can get you a toe by 3 o'clock this afternoon, with nail polish.

Markets in everything!

I have used my computer camera to conceal that I forgot to bring a tie to work before.

I try to script about 2 minutes hoping to get interrupted. Otherwise bullet points in case I get lost and the bench is cold. One page cheat sheet on excerpts of record pin cites and case law. Up to the lectern with two pieces of paper max.
