To be scrupulously fair to Alito, he doesn't really believe women are people, so I guess it isn't surprising that he doesn't think they have concrete reliance interests.

The Paris regime of emmanuel macron, has killed more than 80,000 peaceful protesters now. You know how they kept spreading lies about Iran during the protests, right? Well, turns out the French government has murdered thousands of peaceful protesters. Very reliable source told me so. 🙂

A central pillar of the liberal worldview is that any deviation from the current order established by our oppressive status quo, regardless of ideological underpinnings is problematic. Passionately want All People to have rights? Basically the same as passionately wanting No People to have rights.

Taylor Swift writing a song about visiting her husband's childhood neighborhood and using it primarily as a vessel to make another song about her haters is so absurdly lazy that it verges on self parody
[Verse 1]
She's not as hot as she was, but she was only a four
She was never a girls' girl, she was just a—
And with all of that money, why's she dressed like trash?
When she smiles, it's annoying, and have you seen her

[Pre-Chorus]
Stumbling clumsily?
Would you even call that dancing?
I can see what you mean
And now I guess there's

[Chorus]
Something we all can agree on
But my baby likes what he likes, oh-woah, oh-oh
He already took me to Cleveland
And showed me The Heights, so hate all you like
This is the love of my life, hey, hey, hey

[Verse 2]
The taste of me is acquired, but it's his favorite dish
He says I look like an angel, they say, "I hate that—" (Bi—)
There, that house with the porch is where he lived as a kid
He's been saying forever, must not have read that

the Cornell case should make us question prosecutors and police all the time: the same DA offices discounting college students’ sexual assault cases (the lacking investigations, the disbelief) are happy to jail countless women for far less, day in and day out, when most people aren’t watching

Similarly, people keep asking me if immigration will get much better if Democrats retake Congress and the answer is "probably not." ICE is largely insulated from Congressional pushback (the 2026 budget reconciliation bill funded them through 2029) and hearings and subpoenas can only do so much.

paxton is human garbage. This line of attack is ridiculous. For better or worse, plea negotiating is part of the criminal justice system. There are many good &/or neutral reasons why plea recommendations will be made in sexual assault/trafficking cases in return for a defendant pleading guilty.

Josephine Roberts is not responsible for her father’s work, but I’m not going to lose sleep over the fact that she has to live with protestors showing up at her house. She can manage that. And she should consider that her father has inflicted far, far worse on other families.

The world’s tiniest violin, playing the world’s saddest song
But the protesters did encounter another member of his household. After an August 2025 protest, Ms. Shaw Glaser and other demonstrators were standing near the Port Clyde dock when a young woman approached them with a serious look on her face. She asked them: What did they hope to accomplish? Had they considered how their actions affected the chief justice’s wife and children?

Oct 1st - The Times publishes a review of Paul Varjak's first book, called Nine Lives. 📽️📅 Breakfast at Tiffany's (1961)
3 Screenshots from the movie "Breakfast at Tiffany's" (1961): First, a man is reclining in bed shirtless, holding a glass, with the subtitle "Mainly they're angry, sensitive, intensely felt," visible. Second, the same man continues to hold the glass, now with the subtitle "and that dirtiest of all words - promising." Third, the man remains in the same position, with the subtitle "So said The Times Book Review, October 1, 1956."

Online chatter on the Clancy trial proves yet again that a huge (let’s be real, a majority) segment of society (1) hate women (2) hate the mentally ill (3) refuse to understand mental illness (4) believe NGRI isn’t real/is a mere slap on the wrist. For my own health I can’t engage with these fools.

The Free Press bravely challenging the orthodox belief that film criticism should involve watching the film.
A headline from Bari Weiss’s The Free [sic] Press:

“Hold Your Applause for the New Gaza Documentary

There may yet be hard truths in 'NAZA,' including evidence of Israel's systemic failures. But the reporting around it treats flimsy claims as proof of criminality.”

First line: “i haven't seen the film,”

Sep 29th 1937 - Photos of Hollis Mulwray's affair, appeared on the frontpage of the newspaper. The photos were taken by PI Jake Gittes, at the request of a lady claiming to be Hollis' wife, Evelyn. Later that day, the real Evelyn confronts Jake. 📽️📅 Chinatown (1974)
4 Screenshots from the movie "Chinatown" (1974): First, a close-up of a newspaper headline reading "DEPARTMENT OF WATER AND POWER BLOWS FUSE" with smaller text about an investigation. Second, a woman in a stylish hat and coat stands indoors, speaking with the subtitle "You see, I'm Mrs. Evelyn Mulwray." A man in a suit stands behind her. Third, the same woman continues speaking with the subtitle "And since you agree with me that we've never met before," maintaining her composure. Fourth, she concludes with the subtitle "you must also agree with me that I never hired you to do anything," her expression calm and assertive.
