Off topic, but I enjoy that every time you discuss baseball, you are watching the Phillies.

I'm going to revisit this when it is 20-30 degrees cooler outside.

Amused, I guess, that the PA Supreme Court has granted allocatur on the issue of whether a defendant's saying "the judge is a cocksucker," after losing a motion to suppress, constitutes criminal contempt meriting 15-30 days of incarceration, or whether being offensive isn't quite enough by itself.

I keep thinking about this lawsuit and getting mad all over again. The cowardice of these “anonymous” mediocre white men directly attacking some of the most accomplished, brilliant law profs in the academy to score political points is just despicable.

I really loved Season 3 and I feel like critics just feel the need to say it’s not as good in order to have something new to say. All the seasons had a couple of weak points but I don’t think it has declined overall.

This is marvelous. Class action alleges Walmart systematically puts one price on the shelf, and charges a little more at the cash register. Walmart claims consumers can see the prices actually charged, so no harm. CA7 rejects.

Project 2025 was from the Chris Rufo school of fascist communications, where you discuss your evil schemes out loud, confident the "normies" are not paying enough attention to notice.

But now it seems less politically engaged people are taking notice.

Most progressive people may not yet agree that NYT is more harm than good for democracy, and that we’d be better off with it going out of business. But I’m confident they will in the next five years.

Not only did they carelessly let this guy publish a blatant misrepresentation, when they changed the headline (completely altering the framing and I'd say the meaning of the piece), they didn't write an editor's note! <<Throws phone across the furniture in disgust!>>

It is utterly vile blatant racism. Those people should be ashamed of bringing that suit.

The Northwestern lawsuit is an example of the White gaze in action: “White gaze is the operational norm of White space wherein Black people are scrutinized through the lens of Whiteness, resulting in their exclusion, subordination, and objectification.”

Hi the NYT published that piece because it wants Trump to win. Hope that clears it up.

Notice how everyone is somehow talking about Biden Too Old right now, and NOT about how the Supreme Court just legalized Trump being a dictator for life and gutted the administrative state, and how the Heritage Foundation is now issuing terrorist threats? Think that might not be an accident?

Giving up hope is also complying with authoritarians in advance. It’s saying that fascism is inevitable, that there is no other way to be. I know it’s hard to keep hope alive, but I hope you find a way. ❤️
