Peep this footnote on p10-11! "any rooting around for original public meaning from that era would yield a myopic white male perspective on an issue of greatest salience to women, including women of color; certainly that is not what constitutional interpretation of any legitimate stripe ought to do"

Had a browser tab reload ESPN's website. I briefly saw a headline about Pete Rose dying before it was pushed offscreen by a full page video promoting the ESPN betting app.

Iā€™ve seen many people of various political persuasions say that theyā€™ve seen very little or no coverage of the devastation in Asheville. That may be so, but itā€™s not really an indictment of the media as much as itā€™s an indication that your media diet in particular is fucked.

For a long time, Twitter was a meal-subscription service for your media diet. Then Twitter decayed and now people think it is the fault of the food that they arenā€™t having healthy easy-prep meals delivered to their doors.

I genuinely donā€™t care about Chapelle Roan endorsing or not. I think it would help if she endorsed, but her modelling the kind of voting pragmatism we want to see in young people is actually good. You SHOULDNā€™T be too wildly into any politician! They will pretty much always disappoint you!

If the only way you can bring yourself to vote for someone is if you fall in love with them rather than seeing it as a choice of who best represents your and othersā€™ interests on the ballot you need to think long and hard about what you believe and what you believe democracy is.

instead of ā€œmy political opponent,ā€ Tim Walz should just refer to JD Vance as ā€œthis dumb couch fuckerā€ at the VP debate
