a major societal problem is that conservatives are socially conditioned to assault anyone who disagrees with them while liberals are socially conditioned to avoid conflict at all costs

i don't think any of those things will happen (besides the GOP losing in midterms) but i don't expect i'll be okay if dems do their whole "bipartisan cooperation" schtick and fund ICE and keep the deportation/detention machine humming along.

Tony Romo drove drunk. He doesn't deny it. In fact he plead no contest and has taken ownership of his actions and publicly acknowledged his struggles with pain medication and now alcohol. For that he got canned by CBS while the NFL suspends players ~4-6 games for domestic violence. The NFL sucks

The PR is part of the machinery: once a conservative legal project is presented as neutral expertise, its consequences arrive looking like inevitable law rather than a contestable political choice.

this is good, and there should be a lot more of this tbh. not just directed at the justices either. noah feldman should get a version of this for all the fucking pr he does for the conservative justices, eg. to say nothing of the more actively evil law profs and lower court judges and lawyers

haven’t used apple music in forever, so didn’t realize (1) I had it set to repeat, & (2) it has a new “mixing” function, which, for I’m So Excited by the Pointer Sisters, has it seamlessly loop around like the song never ended. At about 10 minutes in I was like “how fucking long is this song??”
