Minnesotan lawyer (not your lawyer) and photographer. Nothing I say on here is legal advice. Fan of the outdoors, public health, sports, and many nerd things. All views and skeets are my own except the bad ones. (He/Him)

Not going to lie, I still don't know how much value at protocol has for 99.99% of users if any. What value does it being decentralized have to a user just trying to log in and send skeets? I guess if Bluesky goes caput? But most people will still just start over, not master the tech.

Volokh Conspiracy: We use the N-word as many times as possible in our class both to toughen up students to the reality of being a lawyer and for the good of pedagogy. Also volokh conspiracy: criticizing Israel is scary and should be illegal

Weird game. Slow start, lines looked uncomfortable, UPL let in easy ones and saved ones he shouldn’t have, and yet the xG was in our favor!

That being said, on that hypothetical, it’s on tv but it’s a solemn and sad event, not a happy production where the head of the military is hiding an erection.

In a way I think that if we are going to have the death penalty it should be aired and mandatory to watch. No hiding behind it being “humane” or a “medical procedure”. Confront it. If we don’t have the stomach for it being on tv, we shouldn’t fucking do it.

Aha! But yeah real life Iraq borders being made by lumping multiple ottoman provinces together and going “you’re one people now, have fun and govern yourselves” was…a choice.

Pretty close to where I stand on the people eagerly saying "clanker". Like yeah it's not an actual slur, and it's not directed at a person, but you're certainly using it like it is, and that's...discomforting. Running around screaming stuff with that intent is not great for your brain.

Watch ESPN do lip service and PR for MLB as the billionaire owners prepare to do a lockout to force a salary cap is pretty gross.

Wait really? I was just riffing on bad ideas. But the arbitrary division of the Ottoman Empire certainly qualifies.

To be clear (because it’s Bluesky), you can —and should—be mad about both. It’s just shocking that we’ve spent nearly 1/3rd of a war’s materiel casualty on WAREHOUSES to hold PEOPLE in the name of cruelty.

In Ray Bradbury's story "The Veldt", a couple allow their fully automated house, complete with a nursery that brings to life anything it's occupants imagine, to raise their children. Eventually the children imagine lions into existence to eat their parents.

Your entire family is crazy. Just cut in half and scoop with a spoon. It has its own bowl, like eating half an avocado with a sprinkle of salt and a splash of hot sauce

A PEELER? Are you the great British bake off guy who peeled the avocado during the Mexico week? Slice in half and use a spoon. Don’t even need to use a grapefruit spoon to get it all, but if you’ve got one go for it.

“I have to report that when I talked my mum into giving it a try, she gagged alarmingly and swore at me with some venom as she fought to expel bits of skin from her mouth. Perhaps it’s not for everyone, after all.” Adrian’s mum is correct.

I didn’t know about project 70 u til after it was over. Bought it from the artist himself at Comic-Con. The slab is a bit scratched. Not sure if I can do anything besides reslab and lose the project 70 seal sticker.

Man that’s pretty. My favorite recent card is one I got from a photographer who recreates famous moments using miniatures and creates limited runs. Or the Variantz from Alex Pardee. Just too fun. underthelights.art/collections/...

Got a little back into cards but am just buying a single pack a year bc fanatics has ruined the quality. Maybe I’ll rediscover my passion and get back to collecting early 1960’s. Love my 62 Koufax.

I used to watch/listen to without exaggerating nearly 200 games a year in my obsessed youth. Now I barely pay attention and an entire lost season will make me walk away for a decade or so.

Meh. I’ve been down on baseball since the John Henry shenanigans in Boston, then baseball mishandled COVID, then had a pointless lockout, and I think the lockout this coming spring will cost games.
