This sounds exactly like what a toddler would do: It's a triumphal arch. And a sniper nest. And there are drones! And it's also a submarine!

If buying isn't owning, then copying isn't stealing.

It might be a conspiracy. It also might be a typical "after the primaries you run to the center" (for what they believe the center is). After all, the primaries you mention have mostly been very close in time as well.

Only if you think there were only two seasons.

I thought, even way back in 1998, that they should have run Season 5 the way Andor ran season two: A set of micro-series, four or so episodes each, followed by a time-skip.

I'm going to disagree. Season 4 wrapped it up nicely and neatly, or would have, if they hadn't deferred Sleeping in Light. But they only deferred Sleeping in Light because of the renewal. The 5th season was... meh.

I'm not so sure. Its one season was so abbreviated. It would have been better with one regular season.

And that's exactly why I can't stand people who use "literally" as emphasis. They degrade communication.

Let tech spend heavily. Lately that's just been free media for the people opposed.

That second group doesn't get headlines because it's a null set.

Lower courts should simply ignored shadow docket rulings except narrowly in the exact case and circumstance. They are unsigned and unexplained; they cannot by definition be considered authoritative or precedential.

Of course, you also don't say, "Well, I guess we should never build bridges..."

This is why people hate tape-replay refereeing or automatic fault detection in tennis. Nobody wants a fair game. They want a game they can argue their team was robbed of if they lose. This is why I blame ESPN for MAGA.

Huh. I thought I recalled Blance saying it was dead and some senators saying that's what made it ok to vote to confirm him...

Or stop us from filming in Vancouver. That would set TV Hollywood back on its heels.

OK, but it wasn't anticipated because it had those things. Those things blindsided a lot of people.

Trump doesn't "want to send Americans money". He wants Americans to THINK he wants to send them money ... and you're helping push this lie. Shame on you.

Luckily, ultimately, the interpreters of the Constitution are ... us, the people. There is nothing sacred about the Supreme Court. Heck, judicial review isn't even explicitly in the Constitution -- it can be argued that letting SCOTUS rule on constitutionality is itself unconstitutional.

Aren't these two statements contradictory? How does the cartel keep pricing high, except by restricting supply? (See: De Beers and diamonds.) >>The housing crisis has nothing to do with supply, the landlord cartels purposely keep rents high and keep properties vacant<<

Is this the official Maryland Renn Faire? Which we referred to as the Medieval Mall even back in the 1990s.

To be fair, we did much the same in the 1980s regarding Japan (minus the insane musings about military strikes)

It is time for people -- and, especially, lower courts -- to stop acting as if shadow document rulings have any precedential value in other cases. They are unsigned and unreasoned. They cannot be applied to any other case.

This is less about avocado, I think, and more about the piss-poor reading skills of the average Americans. (At least, that's what my experience as a teacher tells me.). Someone saw the word "avocado" and said, "OK, let's give 'em what they want, avocado".

I grew up in New York City, where the academic calendar included the high holy days -- even in Catholic schools -- and no one batted an eye. :)
