Opossums, crab rangoons, air conditioning. These are a few of my favorite things.

Please enjoy random entries from my meme folder entitled "O-possum, my possum, the trash we sought is won"
A drawing of an opossum with a bunch of green onions (or spring onions, idk) perched on its head. The bunch is upside down, with the bulbs facing upwards. Added underneath the opossum's mouth in typical meme text font it says: ( heh )

UVA should just change its mascot to a dog if it keeps planning to roll over
bluevirginia.bsky.social Blue Virginia @bluevirginia.bsky.social · Oct 22
UVA "agrees to be bound by [DoJ's] 'Guidance for Recipients of Federal Funding Regarding Unlawful Discrimination,' ensuring that UVA does not engage in unlawful racial discrimination in its university programming, admissions, hiring, or other activities." bluevirginia.us/2025/10/brea...
Today, the U.S. Department of Justice announced an agreement with the University of Virginia (“UVA”) that will protect UVA’s students, faculty, and employees from violations of federal civil rights laws, including from discrimination based on race, sex, or national origin. As part of the agreement, the University of Virginia agrees to be bound by the Department of Justice’s “Guidance for Recipients of Federal Funding Regarding Unlawful Discrimination,” ensuring that UVA does not engage in unlawful racial discrimination in its university programming, admissions, hiring, or other activities. UVA will provide relevant information and data to the Department of Justice on a quarterly basis through 2028. The President of UVA will personally certify each quarter that UVA is in compliance with the agreement. The Department will pause its pending investigations into the university’s admissions policies and other civil rights concerns. The United States shall treat UVA as eligible for future grants and awards. If UVA completes its planned reforms prohibiting DEI at the university, the Department will close its investigations against UVA. “This notable agreement with the University of Virginia will protect students and faculty from unlawful discrimination, ensuring that equal opportunity and fairness are restored,” said Assistant Attorney General Harmeet K. Dhillon of the Civil Rights Division. “We appreciate the progress that the university has made in combatting antisemitism and racial bias, and other American universities should be on alert that the Justice Department will ensure that our federal civil rights laws are enforced for every American, without exception.”

I don't think The Nazi Salute Guy was making a "big mistake" when he implied everybody with the last name "Eisen" is part of an evil shadowy criminal cabal!

Elon Musk falsely accused prominent lawyer and CNN legal analyst Norm Eisen of leading a “crime family” after he discovered a woman with the same last name who worked for an organization that accepted funds from USAID.

The only problem? The woman, Tamar Eisen, is of no relation to Norm Eisen.

I think people disliked your article because its core argument is asinine! We're not upset about the mechanism by which Trump renamed the Gulf of Mexico,we're upset because it is unilateral, absurd & racist.

Authoritarians often use legal means for nefarious ends, we all know this. Why don't you?
no, this is not a serious document. Is it an illegitimate one? A federal law passed in 1890 and updated in 1947 empowers the U.S. Board on Geographic Names to “standardize” how the federal government refers to places. The board answers to the secretary of the interior, who answers to the president. That’s the same legal authority under which the Obama administration changed the name “Mt. McKinley” to “Denali.”

oh cool eric adams shares an attorney with elon musk, this story is just layers of fun
petersterne.com Peter Sterne @petersterne.com · Feb 14
Wow. The NYT reports that Acting Deputy AG Emil Bove coached Mayor Eric Adams' attorneys on what to argue in order to get the charges dismissed (namely, that the charges were interfering with the mayor's ability to cooperate with Trump's immigration crackdown): www.nytimes.com/2025/02/13/n...
The series of events — in which the acting No. 2 official at the Justice Department seemed to guide criminal defense lawyers toward a rationale for dropping charges against a high-profile client — represents an extraordinary shattering of norms for an agency charged with enforcing the laws of the United States. It also sends a message that, under the Trump administration, the Justice Department will make prosecutorial decisions based not on the merits of a case but on purely political concerns, longtime prosecutors and defense lawyers said. Prompted by Mr. Bove, the mayor’s lawyers refined their approach until they landed on a highly unorthodox argument, records and interviews show — one that was ultimately reflected in Mr. Bove’s memo to prosecutors on Monday. That memo stated that the criminal case had “unduly restricted Mayor Adams’s ability” to address illegal immigration and violent crime. It also pointedly said that the decision had nothing to do with the evidence or the law.

this is severe, untreatable, terminal lawyer brain. so many legal academics act like the constitution is not a vessel intended to secure actual human rights and dignity, but a mere matter of intellectual curiosity, meant to be batted around like a cat with a toy

That's a good question. But I think my answer is yes. I wouldn't assume good faith if someone made argument that we should, as normative matter, go back to Dred Scott. But if argument were that case was wrongly decided as a legal matter, I would try to understand and respond as best I could....
