Calling on Abner again last night was a stunningly clever macabre joke. I had no idea that Vitello was an accomplished post modern performance artist.

Not only did I meet Robert Kraft, I worked for him. His kid Jonathan asked me to “remove the black music” from my gameday playlist in ‘94 & I refused so they fired me. I was the cheerleader director at the time.  I sued them for wrongful termination and won. So yes, I know that motherfucker.

She's terrific. "... deserts of exposition so vast no natural dialogue could contain them." Iirc. Her parody of famous authors asking someone out on a date is also excellent.

Few years ago, Biden went to Michigan to stand in a UAW picket line. That afternoon, Air Force One flew into Mt View's Moffet Field so that Biden could attend a SV fundraiser at some mansion in Atherton or Portola Valley held of course by many of the local infamously anti-union plutocrats.

The account tracking Donald Trump's stock trades has been suspended by Twitter. Funny how Elon Musk is a "free speech" absolutist until the speech is inconvenient for the politicians he supports.

1984 I bet it makes you angry when Winston doesn’t submit to your will. Sometimes when people don’t submit to our will, we want to torture them with rats. I’m going to sit with you until you feel calmer, and then we can figure out a way to get Winston to submit without using rats.

I know there’s no point arguing with Thomas because he just makes stuff up. But his sole textual evidence that birthright citizenship requires parental “domicile”—the word “reside”—simply doesn’t work. It applies to the child, NOT their parents, and says nothing about parents’ residency whatsoever!

By the way, Elon Musk didn't start Tesla. By the time he invested in Tesla, the original founders had already started building the Roadster THEY had designed. When he bought them out, he changed the history of the company to make himself a founder. I'm not joking. He's always been a fraud.

Justice Thomas, joined by Justice Alito: California's issuance of driver's licenses to illegal immigrants would justify Florida going to war with California if they weren't part of the same country. www.supremecourt.gov/orders/court...
As to the first factor, this Court has described as a “model case” a dispute
that “would amount to casus belli if the States were fully
sovereign.” Ibid. (internal quotation marks omitted). In
other words, the Court asks whether the dispute would be
a matter of diplomatic concern in the international arena.
This case appears to meet that standard. A dispute over
one nation sending dangerous people into another “would
be the source of considerable international tension.” Texas,
593 U. S., at ___ (opinion of ALITO, J.) (slip op., at 9). If
Florida were an independent nation, it “might resolve [this]
dispute by diplomacy, by submitting it to international arbitration, or by self-help measures.” Ibid.

I understand Susac's desire to get moving up and forward to the pitch so he could throw out the runner trying to steal. But that catcher's interference call probably blew the game.
