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%.

Rep. Max Miller: "My former wife has claimed that during a custody exchange at my home that day, I assaulted her…If I had assaulted her, would she have offered to cook me dinner six days later?"

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.

Me, at the dog park: *explains how law reviews work to an academic in a different discipline.* He: Puppins! Puppins come here. (Norwegian elk hound arrives.) Puppins. You're not going to believe this.

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.

What do you mean abolishing ICE is not doable? It was created in 2003. There are Missy Elliot songs older than ICE.

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.

Trump Administration Sees Striking Exodus of Legal Talent

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.

Anthony Michael Kreis@anthonymkreis.bsky.social · 2mo ago

In which Professor Wurman candidly admits why he sees the history of the common law differently than anyone who has honestly studied it, and why rather than doing scholarship he just wrote and op-ed and a (terrible, demonstrably wrong) article about the common law that should have been rejected.

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

I have no words. Actually I do. Just not today. www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

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.

“Unfortunately for the vice president, there’s video” will be an increasingly common sentence.

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.

this graduation speech moment is notable, and her amazed shock at having failed to read the room feels instructive. when you're inside the bubble, you think everybody else is. but everybody isn't.

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.”

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.
