I have yet to achieve the perfect mixture of humility and bombast required to write a truly epic one-line bio. Until I do, I'm a freelance podcast producer/editor, D&D game writer/runner, and courts/law nerd.

My theory is TFG picked Vance so the crackers who've been rocking the same giant roadside Trump/Pence billboards since 2015 would only have to change two letters.

If dispelling doom for the sake of dispelling doom does not appeal to you, perhaps try dispelling doom out of spite, is what I’m saying.

If it’s not helpful to you, by all means ignore this, but I’m just saying… It really helps me to recenter myself to think “Oh right. The worst fucking people on the planet want me to feel like we’re doomed. Fuck those guys, actually.”

Trump rally shooter: Registered Republican, young white man, with an AR-15. That says nothing about Republicans (or young people, white people, men, or gun owners). And it clearly says nothing about Democrats, people of color, women, or other groups he wasn't a part of.

This always goes badly, but particularly when your full name was a giant neon sign for bullies in middle school.

The central role of attorneys in the ongoing effort to end democracy exposes such a deep rot in the legal system, and, for that matter, really shows that the 'character and fitness' hoops we jump through to get admitted to the bar are not actually screening out shittyshits at all

As I’ve been saying for years, we on the left should absolutely NOT be upset about the idea of loosening norms around disregarding precedent and stare decisis. (As opposed to the substance of what is overruled.)

The Wisconsin Supreme Court’s new liberal majority said on Friday that ballot drop boxes can once again be used widely in the state. The decision reverses a ruling by conservative jurists two years ago.
