5 fascinating, meaningful years.
Was it worth it? Almost certainly: in the other timeline, I'd be dead in the BEST-case realistic scenario.
Regrets? Zero.
Even at the barest of minimums, I took a big swing, and I'm still around to take more 😊

Putain oui! Surveillez et punissez!
It’s Foucault Week on GBBO! We start with a signature meditation on our biopolitical relationship with the state. Then, our bakers please Prue with some technical corporal punishment for defying the sovereign. And finally the judges will surveil the construction of towering pastry panopticons!

The Great Gatsby's plot is a trashy and contrived and embarassing piece of shit that isn't even fit for a daytime soap arc.
The Great Gatsby's prosodic beauty remains unsurpassed across all of English literature.

FanGraphs' model is only giving my beloved #Cubs a 0.2% edge over a coin flip in the wildcard series against SD, despite finishing +2.0 games ahead of them on the season and having home field advantage. Bizarre, but ok 🙄

AFAIK "Freddy Got Fingered" was universally despised when it came out, but it's deadass absurd and hilarious.
lastly, name a movie you didn't bother to see when it came out because everyone hated it but then you saw it at home later and you really fucked with it and it made you wonder if you were the problem or society was. i’ll start with ALI.

I've actually driven this exact stretch of road about 30 minutes before conditions like these set in during that PNW blizzard in 12/2022. I-84 in Oregon can get crazy. It's a miracle nobody was injured!

Very, very interesting conceptual framing.
The piece Lessig links below outlines a compelling case for the what/why/how of Trump's/Vought's actions, and then--as he suggests--those can be integrated into Ackerman's theory of Dualist Democracy ( openyls.law.yale.edu/bitstream/ha... ).
