not legal advice but if you're going to hack the Supreme Court e-filing system, maybe don't post about it on an Instagram called @ihackedthegovernment

Welcome to new Bluesky users.
Here’s how we do things:
1. Always observe the Hambledon Protocol
2. No flisking
3. If someone tealights you, rink them without apology
4. I don’t mind them so much, but tissue-posts are generally frowned on
5. No questions
Good luck!

Unrelated to the content of the (very good) thread, but "…just to clarify, I am 100% correct." is a kinda awe inspiring level of confidence
To finish this out: This may make some people angry and uncomfortable, but just to clarify, I am 100% correct.

What's the most ridiculous way you ever hurt yourself? I got out of the tub, skidded in water and tripped over the toilet. Ankle sprain.

I'm not saying I'd be *better* if I was on an NFL field. But I definitely would turn the ball over maximum of *once* per play. Won't commit to if it would be an interception or a fumble, but I'd guarantee I wouldn't do *both*
I asked ESPN Research and they asked Elias Sports Bureau and they looked back as far as they could (to 1978) and it would appear Jalen Hurts is the first player to ever commit two turnovers in one play. Isn't history beautiful?

My dad abhors any negative comments about immigrants. Asked him recently why he’s so strong on it: ‘Because we’re always happy to take the rich and clever ones. Which means it’s not about disliking immigrants. It’s about disliking the poor and vulnerable. And that’s a bad human instinct.’
