The NBA Twitter meltdown due to one loss (albeit the worst loss in history) was absurd. This wasn't the Process - they had made the playoffs the year before!

They are a truly dominant regular season team. So were the 2015-2016 Warriors.

I agree but also think they're not *that* inevitable. Favorites? Sure. But they went to two game 7s last year, and might have lost the Finals if the best player on the other team hadn't missed almost the entire game.

Rattle & Hum is underrated and All I Want Is You is one of my fav U2 songs but it would be a thermonuclear take to put it in the top 2 U2 albums.

This might be clearest with South Africa. A developed, stable majority-black country, but the explicit US policy is that we want white Afrikaners to migrate here.

I love it because Reloaded then totally flips it on its head. Oh, you thought Neo was special? No, there were 5 versions of him before, and he's just as much a tool of control as the agents and Matrix itself.

Yeah it's definitely notable, I'm just annoyed that we (lawyer and judges) keep going back to the same well.

Yes the Morrison v. Olson dissent is great but that was over 25 years ago! Can we get a new cliche please?

I was mostly joking (poorly apparently) about the (at least superficial) similarity between your point and the independent state legislature theory, which was used to try to steal the 2020 election.

Would be fun if true but I'm skeptical MSNBC is the best authority on this kind of thing. It reminds me of Trump 1 when Rolling Stone supposedly had all these inside scoops that reeked of lib wish fulfillment. A Trump insider is either sane and going to NYT or insane and going to a Murdoch pub.
