I’m not sure how I’m expected to go on about my day after reading this as if it hasn’t hijacked 80% of my higher brain functions.
why are you on twitter right now. there’s got to be SOMETHING else you can be doing. take the trash out or something idk i can hear your brain melting
My cast list for any new Lord Of The Rings is also the cast list of Ted Lasso, a thread. Let's start with an easy one: Aragorn. No fucking second breakfasts for any fucking hobbits or any other fucking muppets with this Aragorn.

Take a doomscrolling break and look around Venus
Honest question for the legal academic and academy-adjacent folks I know: how do you/would you teach stare decisis in 1L ConLaw these days? How would you explain the divide between principle and practice to someone less than a week into law school?

I was asked a few days ago how I stay optimistic when I am spending my days thinking about infrastructure (and thus climate change, resilience, social justice , etc.).
Vodka from Chernobyl: cbsnews.com/news/atomik-vo… Theoretically there might be something more up @funranium’s alley, but I can’t think of it off the top of my head.
Once upon a time, the story goes, organized crime laundered money through the sale of vintage comics on eBay. Plus ça change... Paraphrasing the great @jonrog1, all money laundering requires is an item without fixed objective value. Like, say, a Silicon Valley startup...
Valve says that the microtransaction economy in Counter Strike is being used almost exclusively by organized fraud networks to launder money, lmao vice.com/en_us/article/…
Carbon impact of liquid natural gas-powered air conditioning aside, is this not a freshman thermodynamics problem? washingtonpost.com/graphics/2019/…
