So instead of culture vulture you opted for “Kendrick must hate Jews”? Why is that, pray tell?

You called Kendrick antisemitic for calling Drake a colonizer.

I'm no lawyer, just a fan happynto see South African legal minds @dansmywholename.bsky.social @pierredevos.bsky.social @franstaar.bsky.social are here now this place continues to get better

personally I think Kendrick should have looked directly into the camera and changed the lyrics of "Not Like Us" into a political treatise explaining his exact position on both separation of powers and the immortal science of dialectical materialism. missed opportunity tbh

Welcome to the resistance, comrade Trump? I guess?

What’s this I’m hearing about an ICJ judge plagiarising her judgments?

Shocker!

So no objection to data harvesting by Meta et al then?

Miss you John Gardner!

Lads, we’ve got to find a better way of writing legal theory man. 😭 took all my willpower (and two walks) to finish this one paper.

I’m sorted now!

#LawSky, I need access to a chapter in “Revolution, Transition, Memory, and Oblivion: Reflections on Constitutional Change” by Martin Belov and Antoni Abat i Ninet (2020, Elgar). My university has not purchased it. Please help!

me: you dim sum, you lose some waiter (in chinese to other waiter): poison this man

What a fun thread! Gonna come back and download most of the papers quoted here but in the meantime, here’s mine. Gardner managed to combine clear writing with constitutional theory and general jurisprudence all in one. I can’t express how I felt reading it for the first time.

He is Hamas.

A former Israeli defense minister has accused Israel of committing war crimes and ethnic cleansing in the Gaza Strip.

Utterly ridiculous. Do you have a president or a king?

Bleak.

Okay I left this app for a few days and things got out of control 😂 but welcome to all my fellow South Africans! 🇿🇦

Bernie Sanders on the Senate floor just now: The United States government cannot provide weapons to countries that violate internationally recognized human rights or block US humanitarian aid. That is not my opinion, that is what the law says.

people constantly use "the historical explanation for how we got here is complicated" to run interference for "the moral and political question for how we should respond to this is complicated" and I want us all to free ourselves from the need to play along with this

Twitter is down once again. Apartheid Clyde can’t do shit right.

I wrote about Gaza, free speech, and the perversity of our campus obsessions. newrepublic.com/article/1765...
