Second look at strange women lying in ponds distributing swords as basis for government?

The 1L curriculum, which remains basically unchanged since the late 1800s, is broken. One key missing piece is a total absence of political science and history. We don’t teach our students to think about the law as *inherently* political—both in terms of what it does, and how it is shaped.

Shout-out to @haubles for inspiring my latest set of nails. Idk if I can afford to keep this habit up regularly but it's so fun! Thanks as always to Jess Scott Designs at Front Row Salon ✨

It's pride this week in Helsinki, and despite all of these fuckers who want us in the ground, we are in fact still fucking here and still fucking queer. This week I ran a play party (oh, you think kink shouldn't be at pride? Fuck you, cop, we're gonna do more of it), the Pride edition for our […]

When you start a retort but realize your example backs up their argument because the only war IS class war and they're on the side that doesn't want to end it. It sucks that the problem isn't that they're wrong about what we want but that the result would be different from their expectations […]

"What doesn’t make any of these stories is that the Parliamentarian’s serial rejection of one after another policy in the Big Ugly came as a result of a lot of work from Democratic staffers who successfully argued that the provisions were extraneous to the bill."

Katelyn Burns very smartly pointing out the way mainstream media began by silencing all the mainstream trans writers, then moved on to claiming trans people stopped trying to persuade the public.

The LLM tech bros all talk about “frontier models” and it strikes me that this use of settler colonialist language is surprisingly appropriate. They’re enclosing the commons of our knowledge and our culture. They’re putting up barbed wire, so they can make us pay rent for everything.

Boy, the last line here does not fill me with confidence.

Beyond the greasiness of buying the election, Ackman once again repeats the trope that NYC is “becoming more violent” while NYC right now has the lowest murder and violent crime rate in *recorded history*. You can’t overstate how deranged these people are, genuinely living in an *imaginary world*.

As a former stand-up, I am just boggled at the quality and volume of material Johnson is putting out on current events. I’m watching whole one hour shows that are completely different, topical, and maybe a month apart. He’s playing a whole different game.

People should stay the fuck off Elon's Nazi bar. But if you don't have this good judgment, I can't tell you how much fun I've had asking Islamophobes how they feel about Adams and Trump taking bribes from Muslim nations, how much fun I've had noting that Melania & Ivana came to NYC and had kids.
