Global entry is a scam. Tsa precheck is not

Not sure if brave or stupid to be in ohare the weekend before Christmas

James gunn/marvel core movies lack anything but the barest waft of genuine artistic impact ir emotion. Every major moment is undercut by a fourth wall break or a "wow that actually just happened😎" moment. Superman will be shit, leave no impact on the human spirit, but make a ton of money.

Hearing Germany is on brink of collapse, americans have elected laissez faire tarrif heavy politicians, and tent cities are all over the place

@stephenking.bsky.social 's "It" has one of the most accurate depictions of the terrors of growing up fat that I've ever read. The isolation and never ending harassment, random beatings, etc. It's oddly refreshing to see that pain be recognized and not just mocked.

Get Low is truly art in highest form. Have you ever seen human creation move the spirit to such heights (or lows)?

Love getting a new project to work on where i understand less than half the words in the initial request

Supreme Court rulings at 10

HIS NAME IS LUIGI

Civility is a right the elites earn when they govern justly.

There are countless historic tales of how law was enacted to stop personal violence. Germanics, greeks, semitic tribes, on and on. But when law so evidently fails to even hear the complaints of the people, personal violence will return. This is sad, but deeply human.

really does seem like the GOP and corporate America have not adequately accounted for the very real prospect of America descending into a Years of Lead-type situation, on the back of their efforts to impoverish/indebt everyone who isn’t already ultra-wealthy this was naive of them

Penzy gang rise up

Apollo is the God who strikes men (specifically men) dead in unpredictable ways. Really. And you expect me to NOT route for this guy? Wild.

sam alito doesn’t even pretend to be a judge anymore.

If any respect for law remains in the hollow corpses which make up scotus, gorsuch is the mose difficult to predict in when he applies it. May his flesh enliven with red blood and not the ooze of politics.

This is genuinely why i struggle to care about scotus. Alito and company are genuinely hacks. Why deep dive to examine a pile of shit

Justice Alito: your argument is based on x right Solicitor General Prelogar: no our argument is based on y Justice Alito: well your argument is based on x, why should we be looking to x, x is very different from what's happening is here extremely unserious

Desperately trying to write a motion for summary judgment but wow I hate this.

Honestly surprised yoon backed down. He had the military. But hey. A win is a win

I mean... Not like a congress really means anything to a dictatorship. That unanimous vote has already been ignored by the military.

Amen

Korea is a test run

Fair warning, I may become flagrantly pagan during the holidays… Or more than usual.

I don't have time to be a scholar because of life. But it does confuse me why so many legal scholars don't see law decaying in front of us as the thing we should be directing our energy towards

Dems (whom i always vote for) seem to get so much glee out of petty verbal "wins" and "owns" instead of...actually winning

“thanks so much for the feedback”

Im emotionally stunted. (a lawyer). I didn't really understand the point if fiction. Cool. A story. But the more I expose myself the more I see how fiction is a way to interact with ourselves with emotions I might not otherwise understand. Might be simple to others, but it's a revelation to me.

A LOON???? IN ILLINOIS????? WHAT GOD DECIDED TO BLESS ME???

How did iowa play like deep fried shit and still pull out a win. Why do they hurt me like this

Being an iowa fan is like going to an orgy. Hypothetically it could be fun, but it rarely is.

Im an iowa fan. But man they suck.

My current situation.
