That's so wild [insert human writer name e.g. "James Joyce" or whoever] and so disrespectful of your work on [find a noun e.g. sailboats or whatever]

I adore Alan Moore but there's a bit in one of his interviews where he declares that Native Americans literally couldn't see European ships because the ships were outside their known paradigm and it's like-- I can't watch someone I respect debase themselves with such chloroformed toddler logic.

I function pretty well in reasonable heat and I exercise in it to try and acclimate myself and sweat less overall... but recently I've read more exercise science that says "as you build effective heat tolerance, your body sweats sooner and more easily!" and it's like, god DAMN it... !

This supreme court majority has made it clear that precedent doesn't exist if they don't want it to and that "settled law" is a joke they pulled on the rest of us; they'll selectively interpret anything brought before them any way they like and their own previous rulings will never bind them.

I agree emphatically. I'm so goddamn tired of "Gosh, this is awful, don't forget to donate to me." I want to hear them saying in public over and over that this is reckless, lawless, and insane.

This decision is not merely tailored for Donald Trump's benefit. It is an active inducement to him. It's a gun with his name on it and these smug fucking clowns have just set it out in the clear hope he'll use it to blow the republic in half, finishing the job they've been working so hard at.

The only sort of administration that can use this decision is one that believes it and its allies will never meaningfully lose power. It's a poison pill. Only a completely lawless anti-democratic force can put it to use; anyone else putting it to use becomes a lawless anti-democratic force. (4/5)

And either flavor of conventional administration would be doubly constrained by the fact that their political allies/voting base are rightly horrified by this decision and would initiate massive infighting if it were brandished by the so-called defenders of equal justice under the law. (3/5)

Even an administration that is only pragmatically conventional (ie, willing to bend laws but worried about consequences) can't make full use of it, because they would be rightly concerned about more SCOTUS Calvinball modifying, narrowing, or removing their immunities whenever it sees fit. (2/5)

The thing about today's historically destructive SCOTUS decision is that an ideologically conventional administration (Biden) can't make full use of it, or indeed any use of it, because it will rightly refute the premise and won't want to be seen as legitimizing any of this bullshit. 🧵(1/5)

We are so far past "gosh, what if the Republicans do something extreme in retaliation?" when they have just hand-written an invitation to Donald Trump specifically to go ahead and end the republic.
