Judge Cannon went and did it. She has dismissed the stolen documents case against Trump on Clarence Thomas’s (nonsense) appointments clause rationale.

#giftlink For people of my generation in New York, Dr. Ruth was a font of non-judgmental frank information on sexuality & intimacy, in all forms. She likely saved many lives with her early “safe sex” evangelism when others ignored (or cheered) the AIDS epidemic. May her memory be for a blessing.

For years I've watched a ton of people get bullied off social media/sites/forums because people held them responsible for shit they didn't do/say/embody/create. Usually it was a big/rich entity that made those calls. Usually there's racism & sexism at play. Let's fucking not keep that going here.

If you want to block all the people who harassed Jamelle Bouie off the site at once, this list is handy. Hit subscribe, then block.

Weird Bouie reply guys

List by @hockeybear.bsky.social

What the name says. Some accounts on the list are truly horrible all the time and some just made a muteworthy skeet one time. This list is in no way affiliated with or endorsed by Jamelle Bouie or anyone other than myself.

Part of me wonders, “How are people handling the Alex Baldwin dismissal on the bad site?” But then I realize that I can never learn and be a calmer person for it.

I don’t think any legal analysis can account for the prosecutors hid a bunch of bullets that could be evidence in a sealed envelope and filed it under a different case number.

That said, this sort of stuff happens enough in non-celebrity cases to keep conviction review units busy until the heat death of the universe.

Could have done without that Red Hulk CGI shot at the end. It looks like a slightly upscaled episode of Reboot.

Original SW: The Jedi used to be cool warrior monks who trained like kung fu movie masters to clear their minds. They had laser swords. Current SW: The Jedi are cops and a branch of the gov’t and war generals and they snatch kids and train them and they also never have sex. They have laser swords.

Also, if Sir Criston Cole survives this war, I don’t expect he’ll live to a cancer-free old age after breathing in all that ash.

Sir Criston Cole, getting a nice lungful of that dragon mesothelioma.
