Vance looks like he was radicalized by a Halo 3 balance update.

My friend bought $15 worth of bitcoin over a decade ago when it was under $1, shortly before the crypto exchange Mt.Gox shut down & froze all accounts. The estate just settled after 10 years of Japanese bankruptcy proceedings & my friend found out he is getting back ~20% of his bitcoins.

The book club ended up reading A Psalm for the Wild Built by Becky Chambers, which is an excellent choice if you want your book club meeting to double as a tea tasting.

Anyone have a recommendation for a good sci-fi book for a book club? Ideally <500 pages and appealing to a semi-wide variety of readers

People keep talking ab the Trump shooting as if disaffected men in this country don’t regularly shoot assault rifles into crowds. It’s literally the exact same problem; he just chose Trump instead of a classroom or concert. It’s all political violence & it’s all abhorrent. The problem is the guns.

may just turn out that the general background violence of a society that has "garden variety school shootings" turns out to be plenty of explanation all on its own

For some reason my daughter started leaving a card from her Trolls Uno deck next to every little mess or mischief she makes around the house, like some kind of preschool Batman villain. This morning there was a Queen Poppy Draw 4 card in the lanyard where my work badge is supposed to be.

Donations to support people seeking abortion care are down since Dobbs and national orgs are reducing support. Please consider making Samuel Alito mad by donating to your local abortion fund today

Abortion Fund Leaders Have A Stark Warning For Allwww.huffpost.com After the overturn of Roe v. Wade, donations flowed to abortion funds, but over time the money has dried up -- endangering care for people across the country.

Yes, I did take off work with a migraine this morning and then proceed to torture myself reading scotus opinions all day, why do you ask?

This is a fun development in removal power jurisprudence - maybe the President has an inherent authority to remove executive officers by murder. Does the murder have to be for cause? Can congress limit his authority to murder inferior officers or multi-member commissioners? Much to consider.

When Trump said he could shoot someone on Fifth Avenue he was actually proposing a theory of constitutional law.

SCOTUS in 2028: canceling the election and declaring yourself president for life is an official act sorry no recourse 🤷🏼‍♀️

As to Trump: - Absolutely immune from prosecution for DOJ discussions. - Presumption of immunity for efforts to pressure Pence, but could be rebutted on remand. - Discussions w state actors and Jan. 6 comments must be determined if they are official or not on remand.

While we wait for new terrible opinions today, my hot take is that Loper Bright won’t actually change *that* much in practice. Courts could always, & routinely did, avoid Chevron deference all together by saying the statute wasn’t ambiguous. Robust step 2 Chevron analysis has been pretty rare.

Does anyone know the status of the splash pad that’s supposed to be built in Colasanto Park? The city’s project website looks like it hasn’t been updated since 2023.

What is dead may never die

Holy shit, Chevron

Clarence Thomas and Cicero: disagreeing about whether insurrection against the Republic is good actually, bonding over a luxurious lifestyle enabled by "gifts" from wealthy friends

The 5th Circuit has to be approaching a record for most decisions overturned by SCOTUS in a single term at this point, right?

SCOTUS reverses 5th circuits decision in if government has say in content moderation of social media. This stems from 2020 elections and Covid. 6-3 a win for the liberals on the court

When I asked if there was a kids meal version of the all-you-can-eat crab legs, the waiter looked at my 4 year old and said, “she’s small, she probably won’t eat much.” So he let us share one adult meal and then she ate like five clusters.

I just had a really confusing conversation with my 6 y/o about Pride festivities. He knows we accept and celebrate everyone, but he cannot seem to grasp that not all parades and street festivals are for George Washington’s Birthday.

Low level government employee: fuck, they’re gonna figure out I accepted this free chicken wing Alito: today I put strobe lights on my confederate flag

The latest weird Alito flag news reminded me that for some reason no one has gotten his neighbors side of this story yet. Someone must know these people? Can we get them to confirm or deny the fight with Martha Ann, at least?
