One last plug of my Six Nations preview. Five of the six players I picked as "players to watch" aren't starting, and three of them aren't even playing, so we're off to a good start. But have a read anyway.
My preview of the 2025 Six Nations. Have a read, so you can make fun of my predictions when they're all proved badly wrong in a few weeks.

Six Nations 2025 Preview

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....

Fiction by brown people doesn’t have to teach you a goddamn thing. If you do learn something, good on you. But we’re allowed to just entertain.

Hamilton describes his first Ferrari test as “one of the best feelings of my life” today
“When I started the car up and drove through that garage door, I had the biggest smile on my face. It reminded me of the very first time I tested a Formula 1 car, it was such an exciting and special moment” #F1

if there is one funny thing about yesterday’s blitzkrieg of executive orders is that it makes the “democratic opposition went too far last time” crowd look like total dipshits

We're going to spend the next few years being told that the things we're seeing in front of our own eyes aren't happening. Cruelty, corruption and naked fascism, covered up by a media ecosystem controlled by its beneficiaries or those too cowardly to call things what they are.

The rules, if you are keeping track:
If a single left activist anywhere in the world says "defund the police," it becomes the official position of the Democratic Party, now and forever.
If the president's top surrogate repeatedly sieg-heils on stage, it's ambiguous, impossible to interpret.

it’s very possible that in a few weeks “Trump saved TikTok” will become a recurring political talking point, mostly because Dems are short sighted and Trump knows an easy political win when he sees it
