lawyer but good!?!?!? public defender, cop hater, prison abolitionist (alt text for profile pic: black&white image of a younger and cooler version of me exhaling smoke, it’s intended to preserve anonymity while also showing I do in fact exist)

That meme of a guy wearing a shirt that says SICKOS peering into a window saying “YES…HA HA HA…YES!”
Soon-to-be former-mayor Eric Adams inappropriately dressed like a wizard at a Rosh Hashanah event. He is wearing what appears to be a deep blue velvet cloak/robe featuring golden intricately embroidered stars of David and menorahs. An equally intricate golden threaded pattern outlines the ends of his sleeves and the front edges of the cloak/robe. He is smiling, shaking hands, and hamming it up.
That Jackson pollock meme of a dumbass standing up at a town meeting to say something that’s stupid but everyone around him seemingly acknowledges is true or at least well within his rights to say it

Meanwhile, in the last few weeks before the election, the Trump campaign noticeably leaned into an anti-war message, with JD Vance making the rounds hailing the now president-elect as a "candidate of peace". . A brief review of Trump's first administration should make clear how ridiculous such a claim was, as he brought the US to the brink of wars with North Korea and Iran, spurned efforts by Congress to reassert authority over military action, and arguably helped set the stage for the wars in Ukraine and Gaza. His recent suggestion that the US could use force to seize the Panama Canal and Greenland should put permanently to bed the idea that he is "anti-war" or "anti-imperialist" in any sense. But it was even more baffling that Democrats had left the anti-war lane wide open for him by leaning into a tired, curdled militarism as a substitute for an actual foreign policy vision. In foreign policy as elsewhere, Democrats positioned themselves as defenders of a set of ideas and assumptions that most Americans no longer trust. As Trump takes office and Democrats prepare to enter the political wilderness, we need to reckon with how they got this so wrong.
"I just don't take those critiques seriously even now," Jason Tondro, the Dungeons & Dragons designer who wrote the preface, said in an online post. "I consider those people not worth listening to, so I didn't anticipate their 'outrage."

UnitedHealthcare C.E.O. Killed Updates What We Know Manhunt Spreads A law enforcement official familiar with the investigation said that the shooter, before attacking Thompson, had gone to a Starbucks nearby, on Sixth Avenue. The police released three surveillance photos on Wednesday afternoon of a suspect standing at the Starbucks counter, wearing a black coat with the hood up, a black face mask and a gray backpack, which appear to match the apparel seen on the assailant in surveillance video of the shooting.

A screen-cap from a section in this article in The Guardian reads: The banana was reportedly bought for less than a dollar from a fruit stall on Manhattan's Upper East Side, staffed by Shah Alam, who works for $12 an hour. When Alam learned from a New York Times reporter that the banana was resold as artwork for millions of dollars, he cried. "I am a poor man," Alam, 74, told the paper. "I have never had this kind of money; I have never seen this kind of money."

• ballsandstrikes.org The slippery-slope argument Goldstein is trying to make is that allowing state prosecutions of a sitting president could set a troubling tit-for-tat precedent in the future. But somehow he misses the excruciatingly obvious problem that if, in fact, "no man is above the law," everything he writes before and after this paragraph is either (l) a vacuous justification for ascendant authoritarianism, or (2) the sort of critical thinking that, if you were to include it in an AP Government exam in high school, would prompt a concerned note from your teacher asking if you were getting enough sleep. As it turns out, the real "central pillar of American democracy" is that no man is above the law, unless that man is deemed sufficiently "extraordinary" for one reason or another, in which case retired members of the Supreme Court bar will dust off their keyboards to crank out half-baked blog posts conflating an election result with a legal exoneration.

Two posts appear back-to-back on my timeline: nerdjpg.com: "There will be no quote dunking here" yes there is. I do it every day. People say wrong things very loudly and they should be shamed @tylerking.bsky.social: Good to remind ourselves. Mute/block and move on. Preserve the sanctity of your skyline and starve bad takes of oxygen. a meme appears below that says NO QUOTE DUNKING…NO.FUCKING.QUOTE DUNKING These two posts represent the competing values within each of us, like two wolves fighting to consume our small poster brains
"To apply the high expectation of originality found in journalism or academic writing to political speeches is misguided," said Michael Dougherty, a professor of philosophy at Ohio Dominican University who wrote a book on plagiarism. "A precise use of the label 'plagiarism' requires a context in which originality is rightly expected.
That meme of a guy’s face in-profile with the word “Yes.” underneath to indicate that, yes, I did think right-wingers were dumb as fucking rocks before MAGA, and, contrary to op’s point, the McCain-Palin ticket is actually a perfect example of just how dumb as fucking rocks they were and still are.
That dumb meme that says “You can always do an Italian accent…….it’s never racist” to remind everyone to make fun of Italians on this so-called “Columbus” Day

An unhinged tweet from the union representing NYPD sergeants quote-tweeting an innocent reminder for MayTheFourth that the 4th amendment protects your rights stating: “You are all a disgrace. You sit on your ass and target the NYPD all while growing up on the nipple of what’s easy. You have no clue what a NYPD officer does yet target is and disparage our integrity. One day you will dial 911 when evil is at your door and thank god for the NYPD”
An excerpt from President Biden’s recent jokes at the Gridiron Dinner: “We know not everyone is feeling the progress we’re making. We’re committed to helping the little guy. Ron DeSantis, though, won’t take our calls. (Laughter and applause.)”
