Apropos of nothing at all, here's a photo that Kubrick shot for Look Magazine in 1949 for a feature that never ran (as I understand it). He was a professional photographer before he got into film.

I guess you could read it this way, but I read his conclusion as arguing that originalism should not apply to 14th Amendment guarantees.

One more time: this is how Barrett described the 14th Amendment in a 2016 law journal article

This is how Amy Coney Barrett described the 14th Amendment in a 2016 law journal article, "Congressional Originalism."

"Opinion Today: Democrats used to know how to win. What happened?" The NYT political reporters and Opinion editors have their narrative and they're gonna run with it, evidence be damned. The pity is that too many top Dems take them seriously.

looks like a real page-turner
America is coming apart. An illegal immigration crisis has broken out along America's Southern border--there are race riots in Detroit--a fiery female rancher-turned-militia leader has vowed revenge on the president for his arrogant policies--and the world's most notorious terrorist is planning a massive attack that could destroy the United States as we know it. Meanwhile the President is too consumed by legacy-seeking to see our country's deep peril.

I had to look it up to make sure it was real... "Flooding at Shittlehope Bridge" sounds like the name of a miniseries

Just wondering, does Glenn Kessler ‪@glennkessler.bsky.social‬ ever apologize for a factually incorrect "fact check"?
Washington Post Fact Checker headline, 14 Oct 2024: "Democratic senator attacks his PA rival with an invented claim. Sen Bob Casey falsely says Republican Dave McCormick 'made clear' he'd slash Medicare"

This is going around... Posted 14 hours *before* the crash yesterday.
Tweet by Thomas Schaller, @ schaller67, dated 1/29/25 at 8:06 am EST: "An FAA employee I know confirms agency already lacks air traffic controllers. The so-called 'buyouts' and other attacks on federal employees won't help. Remember that fact when the flight delays (crashes?) commence and Trumpers start falsely blaming DEI or Biden."

Seeing "justice" on the list of banned words reminded me of this, by the great @rubenbolling.bsky.social
Four-panel comic, titled "Social Justice Warrior." 1: "Frozen in an iceberg for 70 years, Social Justice Warrior awakens to continue his fight!" 2: SJW hits a Nazi; a bystander shouts "It's Antifa! Call the police!" 3: SJW: "Arrested for being anti-Fascism? In America?" 4: Bystander: "Oh, how politically correct!"  SJW: "And being correct is mocked?"

I see that Apple is rolling out an AI news summary, and it's, um... And yet the WaPo editors somehow think AI is going to save them? Delusional all around.

If Biden doesn't pose a dire menace to this country, then how can you possibly explain this urgent email the Trump campaign just sent to millions of supporters (plus me, lol)? Subject line: "They'll wheel granny off a cliff!"

Barrett wrote in 2016 that the 14th Amendment is "potentially illegitimate," citing the argument (below) that the Southern states "despised" it. The argument ignores that several Southern states had disfranchised Black majorities, implicitly countenancing white-only rule as proper and legitimate.
