You may be correct, but strengthening the first, fifth, and fourteenth amendments is generally not a bad thing for American democracy.

I generally like Kennedy’s writing (although Scalia was the one who was genuinely fun to read even if he was wrong), and this is no exception.

No offense taken - on top of everything else, kinja is eating comments today. When I’m around, I’ll keep an eye out for your comments on this topic to ungrey you going forward. Cheers!

I wouldn’t disagree with much of what you said, and if you were to look back at my post history I wasn’t terribly thrilled with SESTA to begin with for many of the reasons you’ve stated. Instead of taking advantage of the opportunity for libertarians in Congress to step up, we got middle aged housewives clutching…

They’re one iteration of Match’s management team. Your observation is correct.

Allowing sex workers on there isn’t going to muddy the waters at all

This whole thing is awful. Upshaw’s story was really inspirational, and other players thought the world of him. This is a guy who had a bright future ahead even if his hoop dreams weren’t going to work out (and in fairness, had he survived they were almost certainly done after this.)

Properly done German potato salad is the only side (and sometimes main) dish you need.

Pay isn’t nearly as important as that this seems to document an apparent practice of letting several rookie cops go out and allowing them to congregate without a ranking sworn officer supervising. I can think of a couple of causes of action for litigation that could be associated with this.

Addendum: just rewatched the video a bit more closely. All three cops are part timers, which you can determine by the big ol’ SLEO II patch on their shoulder.

Ahh, Wildwood. The combination of honest merchants, gentle beachgoers, and yes, almost certainly part time cops hired at $13-15 an hour for the summer surge makes it a paradise. Cape May can be lovely in places, but this is the heart of the Shore in all sorts of ways.

If you’re in the US and have a Costco membership, get the Foodsaver 5480 (or is it 5840?) at Costco - I think it’s still on sale for $99 and the design of it is superior to the rest of their line, since the juices have to flow uphill when it’s sealing and that helps significantly in terms of a lot less mess. (You’ll…

There’s a political theorist whose name escapes me at the moment who has a famous quote (which I’m mangling here) that basically argues dilettantes of history look back to World War II, more serious students to World War I, and the very serious to 1848, when the full reaction to the French Revolution finally hit and…

Based on her reply to this tweet, there’s a compromise to be had.

We Need To Talk About Kevin is worth a watch on that subject.

The ones you make with the rolls are fine. It’s the ones that claim to be reusable and need you to use the accessory to seal it up that are disasters.

And we have a reaction from Chastain: “It’s not the most flattering but it’s nice.”

Eh, once I started storing nuts in a mason jar (PSA: the Foodsaver resealable bags are utter pieces of crap that have a 2/3rds immediate failure rate) that’s been vacuum sealed, they were still perfectly fine 6 months later even when stored at room temperature.

Maybe Meghan lost a lot of weight because of last week’s shenanigans?

It’d explain not running out ground balls.
