I would say “I’m a middle aged woman who gets paid to squint at small type” but that would just reveal what a disappointing cop-out of a person I am.

This is amazing.

The comments are giving me life. And yes I am an OM kid. I made a balsa wood structure and it was GLORIOUS.

You have probably already spotted this, but if not, I thought it was worthwhile piece. thespacecoastrocket.com/robert-burns...

Hey, state con law nerds! Do you find yourself in the Mid-Atlantic, yearning to go to an excellent lecture on the importance of state judiciaries in shaping the national conversation about rights and democracy? Well have I got an event for YOU. Come join us at Rutgers Law - Camden on October 26th!

President Trump is 0-2 against pools.

I may just be a gay who doesn’t understand how any of this works, but this doesn’t seem like… a straight people thing to do.

In 1997 I bought a new Honda Civic that quickly developed a mysterious electrical problem that caused it to simply refuse to start at random intervals. I had to carry around jumper cables wherever I went. Even then I didn't want my money back as badly as I want a refund on those Fetterman donations.

Finding problems to the solution is the solution to the problem!

In case you are an academic who is currently being gaslit into believing that you're a caveman who wants their students to be jobless if you resist allowing AI in your classrooms... I present to you Berkeley Law's response, which can be summarized as "Fuck off directly into the sun."

This is excellent and very much worth reading.

Honestly, if you think only leftists are sore losers you haven’t met a bunch of the centrists I’ve seen lose with no grace whatsoever. And the converse is emphatically true as well. IMHO, it’s individual people’s shitty personalities that inform their politics, and not the other way around.

So, I used to help domestic violence survivors get civil protection orders. I can say confidently that the answer to every one of this jackass’s rhetorical questions about whether a “real” victim of domestic violence would behave toward an abuser the way his ex behaved toward him is… yes. 100%.

Andrew Tate is living proof that at some point, Anton LaVey impregnated a naked mole rat. I can't say how it happened but it happened.

Pretty much how all other disciplines react.

What an absolute GOLDMINE of potential gay jokes this headline is.

Just a friendly reminder that "no means no" and "don't complain if you text an alcoholic and then he rapes you" are incompatible statements. You'll need to pick one. I don't make the rules.

Stephen King should just run. We already know about the skeletons.

A NAZI TATTOO IS ALWAYS A RED FLAG WHY DO I HAVE TO SAY THIS I WANT OUT OF THIS TIMELINE

We must simply put it down, flip it, and reverse it.

Megyn Kelly’s opinion that our country is superior because of our “work ethic” is a little confusing given that large parts of it were founded on the principle of getting someone else to do your work for you and not paying them.

This… is the FACE OF ANTIFA.

Fun fact: "San Recto" is named for Saint Recto, the patron saint of pulling things out of your ass.

I would like to go back to that innocent time when I thought everyone knew that a Nazi tattoo was a gigantic red flag. Truly, I miss those days.

New Decemberists album just dropped

In which I repeat what @elliemargolis.bsky.social and I have written about … we need to be teaching state con law.

The Captain and Cookie have announced that they will no longer be performing “God Loves a Terrier” at the Freedom 250 concert.

In which the ship holding the distinction between scholarship and punditry sinks beneath the waves, never to be seen again. When the orcas take over, I hope they are kinder to us than they are to fish.

Look at these cowards over here, thinking their complicity will protect them.

Honestly, this man is a walking lesson on how it doesn’t matter how much money and fame you have if you are committed enough to being miserable.

Every year this guy looks more and more like one of the lesser commanders from the Colonies. His second wife is going to be so low-status.

While higher ed leadership has jumped on the AI bandwagon with an astounding level of credulity and an utterly depressing lack of foresight, here's what our own students think. Good thing they're smarter than our Executive Vice Presidents for FutureTech Career-Forward Outcome Strategies.

Looks like it’s Rule 11-o’clock, kids.

All I’m saying is that if the Strait of Hormuz was bi-curious, those ships might have more options. 🏳️‍🌈

Captions please.

I don't know about you, but I feel really weird just going about my business today, particularly because "my business" is supposed to be teaching people that the rule of law matters.

Things I never thought I’d say to myself: “It’s such a relief that originalists refuse to acknowledge the existence of airplanes.”

Mandatory life sentences for second-degree murder are unconstitutional, Pa. Supreme Court rules share.inquirer.com/cSote3

If I can’t enjoy a good zinger, I don’t want to be part of your apocalypse.

Yes everything is terrible but let’s not lose sight of the fact that someone has written the Headline to End All Headlines.

If Kamala hadn’t won, NONE of this would be happening.

If there was a little man inside my brain, this gentleman would be that little man.

Now THAT is what I'm talking about.

Anyone else in here old enough to remember that the Iraq War was going to last two weeks?

Beginning to think we have underestimated the efficacy of simply having our enemies destroy each other with lasers.

You can tell how deeply rotted these people’s moral centers are because they actually think as they’re talking, “the American people will EAT UP this bomb-ass retort,” rather than “people will find it morally unpalatable when I tell them to ignore child rape because it’s good for their 401ks.”

Love this guy. Curling lawyers forever.
