I want to be able to write that into an alternative dispute resolution provision in a contract.
Assistant *to* the Vice Provost
Hasn’t given up on the cocaine/toilet seat thing
Pretty sure it was Col. Jessup, right?
Pretty sure we don’t have the industrial capacity to start making trebuchets. Or ammunition for them…
Do not kink-shame the whale
Along with all the other bad ideas, the assertion that “the Middle East’s authentic structure” is “a mosaic of tribes, clans and local emirates” erases a truly astonishing number of successful multi-ethnic empires
I think that means that Oliver North was trading with the enemy…
And have professional degrees that that demonstrate their competence at their practice? How elitist!
Particularly for a *tennis serve*
And it was something the Birchers said unironically. GHWB was *making fun of them* by doing it
Stealing @gregdoucette.bsky.social’s bit: Cops are great.
It remains shocking to me how many people still try to use it as a glorified typewriter
They’re typing the section header entries and using single cross-reference fields for the page numbers. Which is precisely the dumbest possible way to set up a ToC in Word. They’d do better just typing the page numbers - being off by a page would have to be less shameful than this.
Was going to say: judging by the start of the second half, yes
…with the vocal line played on a harpsichord, and all of the backing instruments mapped into a smallish orchestra
Did you ever hear the “your docs were sloppy and shitty” voice mail? This is old school - early 00s, probably
Having a holiday dedicated to public mockery of the Confederacy might really have helped head off the Lost Cause foolishness
“Saw the headline and got pissed off” remains undefeated as an explanation.
The Turing test gives the observer entirely too much credit. It assumes the “is it human?” decision is being made by actual genius Alan Turing rather than the median user of a commercially available LLM: a mediocre white man with an MBA
“Might not be accurate” doing a lot of work there
There’s also some of Scalia’s idea that the State isn’t required to be neutral between religion and non-religion…
That’s the through line between today’s emergency decision and Skrmetti, too. Parents exercising dominion over their children must be protected from State interference. Parents allowing pronouns or transitions are *misusing* their authority and can be prohibited.
This makes a ton of sense—and is consistent with the “Constitution in Exile” guys who thought substantive due process should be returned to the Lochner-era emphasis on freedom of contract. (There’s a lot of property-rights thought in that too.)
Because this Court has always been “Oops! All Vibes!” in preference to rigorous analysis, I assume they’re vibing the idea that the only SDP rights are those that would have been recognized at the Founding (with grudging hand-waving at 1869)
GB quarterbacks leaving the team, demonstrating themselves to be Not Worthy
It’s not like *Venezuela* was some model for strategic planning - it was pretty much “execute the bag, and hope the rest works out.”
