Post from me: even though it’s technically a win, this case still scares the shit out of me. Quoted post: a link to my podcast about the birthright citizenship Supreme Court case. reply to me from Sisyphus Rex: wait more than a rapist con man getting reelected after a failed coup d’état?
A photo of Supreme Court Justice Sam Alito. The caption says, “Justice Sam Alito, seen here in April 2021, retired Friday.” It accompanies the first sentence of a now-retracted NPR story. The first line reads “Justice Samuel Alito, who wrote the Supreme Court’s opinion reversing Roe v. Wade, is retiring, the court announced Tuesday.”

It sounds plausible. But now let me ask you to imagine this. You wake up in the morning and find yourself back to back in bed with an unconscious violinist. A famous unconscious violinist. He has been found to have a fatal kidney ailment, and the Society of Music Lovers has canvassed all the available medical records and found that you alone have the right blood type to help. They have therefore kidnapped you, and last night the violinist's circulatory system was plugged into yours, so that your kidneys can be used to extract poisons from his blood as well as your own. The director of the hospital now tells you, "Look, we're sorry the Society of Music Lovers did this to you--we would never have permitted it if we had known. But still, they did it, and the violinist is now plugged into you. To unplug you would be to kill him. But never mind, it's only for nine months. By then he will have recovered from his ailment, and can safely be unplugged from you." Is it morally incumbent on you to accede to this situation? No doubt it would be very nice of you if you did, a great kindness. But do you have to accede to it? What if it were not nine months, but nine years? Or longer still? What if the director of the hospital says. "Tough luck. I agree. but now you've got to stay in bed, with the violinist plugged into you, for the rest of your life. Because remember this. All persons have a right to life, and violinists are persons. Granted you have a right to decide what happens in and to your body, but a person's right to life outweighs your right to decide what happens in and to your body. So you cannot ever be unplugged from him." I imagine you would regard this as outrageous, which suggests that something really is wrong with that plausible-sounding argument I mentioned a moment ago.

Yes. Its director, Jacques Audiard, a French-ass name if ever there was one, the kind of name bestowed upon a mime wearing a beret or some shit, is on the record stating that he didn’t research anything about Mexico before making the film. Emilia Pérez makes zero sense if you approach it as a film about a Mexican woman, and perfect sense if you consider that France is maybe not totally over Cinco de Mayo. I wrote a piece for The Los Angeles Times in which I said Emilia Pérez is “a bit like if a Chilean director made a musical about the Jan. 6 insurrection and cast mostly Thai people.” I stand by that, and by the claim that I would watch and most likely enjoy that film.

‪Michaela Joffe‬ ‪@joffeorama.bsky.social‬ · 43m "go jump in a lake", "take a long walk off a short pier", "put an egg in your shoe and beat it", "go peddle your papers" these are just some of the violent, actionable threats journalists and academics face every two to three months on bluesky, or as some call it The Murder Website. A reply (username redacted) I never use the first two. My ex-by-external-force girlfriend is in a wheelchair from nearly drowning from hitting the bottom jumping off a pier.

The Supreme Court Justice cites Jack Bauer and the Hollywood torture show "24" as relevant background for constitutional jurisprudence: "Jack Bauer saved Los Angeles. ... He saved hundreds of thousands of lives," Judge Scalia said. Then, recalling Season 2, where the agent's rough interrogation tactics saved California from a terrorist nuke, the Supreme Court judge etched a line in the sand. "Are you going to convict Jack Bauer?" Judge Scalia challenged his fellow judges. "Say that criminal law is against him? 'You have the right to a jury trial?' Is any jury going to convict Jack Bauer? I don't think so. "So the question is really whether we believe in these absolutes. And ought we believe in these absolutes."

There are a million valid arguments you can make that… “…explain why that's r*tarded, and I would agree with most of them. But that doesn't change the fact Biden would win.” Replies: ‪Zeb‬ ‪@zebathome.bsky.social‬ · 35m Not sure why you needed to use the R word here. ‪Rhonda Wolfson‬ ‪@rhondawolfson.bsky.social‬ · 3m Just what I thought.
