I thought it was called the Dark Forest Trilogy.

This is not a smart take. It’s basically conspiracy thinking.

Otherwise, the Supreme Court is clearly partisan, because Alito and Thomas unashamedly contort into any position needed to face the MAGA base, and Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, and Coney Barrett will typically tend to do so in any issue involving civil rights or business interests.

The GOP is the body that executes the will of whatever conservatism is at any moment; they are inseparable at the executional level. The doctrinal vehicle the GOP uses to get where it’s going is originalism, but the great thing about justices playing professional-amateur historians is that they can cherry-pick history to suit party-doctrinal needs.

I had a teacher in high school, many decades ago, who had owned an orange juice processor. He explained that the generic store brand got the start and end of production runs; name brand got the middle.

It’s as good as anything I can come up with. This thing has stymied the fuck out of me.

Bannin has tens of millions from Seinfeld, and his War Room podcast is very popular.

Wonder if he may be using lawyer rotation as a delaying tacticl.

FWIW, this free app solves for that issue well; I have several clammed Macs running it right now:

You’re missing nothing. The inventor is an obvious perpetual-X crank.

It’s a great question. FWIW, I am not sure that Türkiye would be admitted today.

I should have been more clear: The Valley allows and even encourages certain sociopaths to flout rules and conventions around ethics and reporting, while the rest of us are held tightly to those rules and conventions. For example, Sequoia seemingly didn’t even perform de minimis due diligence when leading a nine-figure round in FTX.
