The fix is in for Chelsea. VAR is a shambles this season

Received my autographed series of Robo comic books today, including the bonus book, Shujaa The Discriminator. Summer reading starts now.

@bsky.app how many times do I need to flag pictures of furries and homoerotic selfies with "show less like this" before it stops?

The Supreme Court’s “shadow docket” has cast very different shadows depending on which party holds the White House.

When lower courts blocked Trump admin policies, SCOTUS intervened on an emergency basis to lift those orders in 77% of cases.

For the Biden administration, that number was 0%.

Points for honesty.

American self-governance no longer derives from the consent of the governed, but from massed capital. This fellow just said so as a matter of fact.

Citizens United v. FEC ended the republic fifteen years ago. Everything since are the prolonged death throes.

when 4-5M people march peacefully against the current regime it's the story of the year. NYT cannot bring itself to focus on that reality.
