Lawyer. 30s. Gay kink. Episcopalian. Wear

’s ring and collar. DC comics, apparently? He/him. Zoning's a cartel. My views only, not legal advice.
I think I'm going to take the position that any time somebody uses the fact that I'm gay and/or do weird kink stuff in my free time to dismiss me in a theological debate, I'm just going to automatically block them and feel fine about it.
Just so you know, the investigation into collusion in the housing market by landlords facilitated by online "market information" websites (specifically, RealPage), is just one larger arm of the Biden administration's generationally aggressive approach to monopolies.
@Croc_Block
I’m really excited in a decade when it’s a weird piece of trivia superfans know, some random writer comes up with villain who can control machines and the hand betrays it’s master
@JennyENicholson
The implication here is also that the cast are recording your interactions and Croy’s actor is going “no no, don’t bump her familiarity score, she had a camera” which is somehow both hilarious idea and infuriating that that was a thing on a 3k/person vacation!
This is the funniest thing that I’ve ever seen. Especially that they open with the EXACT copyright laden ad copy Jenny mocked in her vid.
And then it ends with:
@timotheeology
Lee literally kidnapped enemy civilians in surrendered towns and sold them into slavery. He’s a war criminal and a traitor, and we should have hung him in 1865.

The Barbary Wars are one of my favorite bits of early republic foreign policy. Everybody had just decided it was easier to pay off the Barbary states than deal with them and the US bumbles along, decides “nah, fuck that” and goes ham on them.
@GoldwagNathan
Civil Asset Forfeiture is one of those insane things that you explain to lay people and you just sound like a deranged conspiracy theorist for dispassionately and accurately describing the law.
@besttrousers
What’s more interesting is that even older people do defect because they can see the iterations ending sooner rather than later which is why we defund schools regularly but cuts to social security are a third rail.

@amyliztweets
Fun! That’s lovely. But then Hindenburg and the 32 elections are irrelevant, because Germany was a fascist state for the entirety of the interwar period and this entire conversation is pointless.
@lioninjawarloc
@amyliztweets
So if the suggestion is “The conservatives and Hindenburg” then the response is “yes! And if they had voted for the SPD/KPD instead, it would have stopped Hitler!” Which is the point of the original post. Voting would have worked, but people voted wrong so it didn’t.

I feel like there is a deep disconnect in America with the fact that Trump ACTUALLY WAS PRESIDENT FOR FOUR YEARS.
But yes, Cathy, I do think Trump might appoint his former Director of National Intelligence to an intel role.
@JamesSurowiecki
Do you really think Trump would put someone as blatantly psycho as Flynn in charge of intel? That cuts off any chance he has of attracting any "normal" Republicans to his administration, at least in anything related to NatSec/foreign policy.

States pass laws abolishing gay marriage and refuse to issue licenses - gay couples will sue to enforce Obergefell, have standing because obvious injury, SCOTUS have vehicle to overturn.

I mean we’re more than a decade into “Roy and Jason are close friends” being canon under more writers than just Lobdell. Hate it all one wants, it’s readily within the canon stew for those who like it.
@lioninjawarloc
@amyliztweets
But “liberals” in America almost uniformly vote for coalition parties that include social democrats and against coalitions that include fascists - that’s where the resist lib meme comes from. If MORE people voted the same way they did, fascism would not be able to gain power.

Also discovery. The plaintiff will be able to dig into a bunch of twitter’s management discussions. That in itself may be more costly than the litigation itself.

It is concerning to me how much leftists tell stories where the problem with policy is always and only a conspiracy of malicious actors rather than… you know, policy is hard.

This is both true and it’s also true that furries are ridiculous enough that they’ll probably keep paying for the human (lol) touch.

To be fair, part of his job is also to engage in deep lore Roman Catholic conflicts about the Church & the world where he is almost, but not quite, entirely aligned with the craziest people imaginable in the view of people who almost certainly don’t have any context for that.
@nikicaga
Frankly, it also requires you use the US et al definition of the continents rather than the UK et al one (where the Americas are a single continent) and even then I think it’s a crap question since you could argue any of the possibilities on a variety of grounds.
@tyler02020202
I’d accept NY-Chicago-Houston or Dallas on the grounds that LA is fake.
But like Chicago is clearly top 3 US city.
SF is like a regional major city with inordinate cultural import. It’s like west coast Boston!

The literal actual next tweet showed how you could do it at different values. For what it’s worth, in further development, people have found ways to get the presented result with as little as 21 blocks.
FYI, the possible answers vary from 51 at most if you assume the stack is symmetrical (within the constraints of the images) to 35 at minimum if you allow for asymmetry.

This is gonna sound really pedantic, but I think it’s important to say it’s not “his” wealth in any moral sense. Marriage is a partnership and any wealth earned by the couple was half hers as an equitable and moral matter from when it was first earned.
@GoldwagNathan
No no, I’ve been laughing at this for the last day. It’s such a funny idea that he thinks, like, ports are home base for ships and you can’t get tagged until you leave.

But also: Democracy is how we work out these trade offs. Vigilante bullshit can make sense in like DEEPLY inequitable systems where the breakdown of social trust is worth it to prevent the unjust outcome. But "paying $2.90 for a train ride" doesn't make that cut.

I believe it is the reversal of a meme about complicated ingredients lists for plant-based meat substitutes with just “meat” on the other side.

Actually, given the number of ABDLs and pups that go these days, I wouldn’t be surprised if there was a place you could watch Paw Patrol at Folsom.

I was a NYC teen mostly texting and playing video games and I still had WAY more freedom and independence to learn and entertain myself WAY younger and it paid dividends later on, despite pretty substantial social developmental delays.

“Getting on a plane” is not consent to any thing except to flying on a plane. Women don’t owe you sex for flying them places, man.
As for where are the charges, we can judge a man having committed wrongdoing even if there is no legal charge of a crime. Obviously.

@mattyglesias
Besides a) that isn’t the syllabus, b) that’s not what the bill says and c) it would be good if we taught kids that…
“Grooming” means to prepare children to be receptive to and unwilling to report sexual molestation. I have no clue how “you can choose your gender” does that.
@un_a_valeable
Similar story for the XYZ affair and the quasi-war, too, tbh. Early Republicans Americans confront the basic mildly dysfunctional way Europe operates, says “nah, fuck that” and ends up basically fighting a war over it.
@deathbybadger
We have two answers, one is "At a queer community event" and the other is "At the local pups and handlers play party." They're both TRUE but...
Minnesota troops defeated and captured a confederate flag from Virginia troops during the Civil War. To this day, Virginia keeps asking for it back and Minnesota keeps telling those losers they can't have it
@GoldwagNathan
This thread is so bonkers. It has a purpose (contain Russia) and is open to states that want to voluntarily join (because they’re scared of Russia) so long as it makes strategic sense (which it often does because it limits the capacity of Russia to threaten its neighbors).
@BoozyBadger
I have walked into a family court with a silicon… toy in my backpack (IT WAS AN ACCIDENT) and apparently high density silicon can be mistaken for plastic explosive on a scanner so they felt the need to open my bag and reach in. The look on the poor court officers face…
@metzgov
It doesn’t… *sigh* it neither merely repeals DOMA, nor codifies same sex marriage. It requires states (and the feds) to treat other states’ marriages as equal to all other marriages under their law.
@TheBat_Family
I’m gonna note that Bruce recently-ish lost his home, is single after getting left at the altar, and at least one of his sons isn’t on speaking terms with him. So BETTER than Slade, but not like in a different league.

@GoldwagNathan
He’s making fun of you with sarcasm, buddy. Progroms against Jews are a constant feature of European history since Rome. While the Nazis did look to US racial categorization laws for some inspiration for Nuremberg laws, Europe was (and is) more violently antisemitic than the US.
@TRISHANAKRUS
It's really weird to me how much people think "Charming Asshole affecting a devil-may-care attitude" and "deeply traumatized young man" are somehow contradictory character traits rather than being keyed to the same obvious root.
@GoldwagNathan
Jesus Christ. It’s also just kinda ballsy given that the overwhelming majority of gay people see the trans rights fight as intrinsically part of their own (correctly) and Rowling is, y’know, notably straight.
@GoldwagNathan
Also marriage rates have been declining for 5 decades and unless we’re gonna claim that this situation goes back to Ford, I think there might be some other cause.
@hasanthehun
They were not retreating in compliance with the resolution. They had openly violated the resolution! Several months previously! You can’t reject a demand for surrender on terms and then insist to receive the same surrender terms after months of war when you lose!
Denying me wanking doesn’t actually make me a better behaved sub:
* it makes me subbier
* my subbiness expresses itself as a need for more/harder boundaries
* my need for boundaries results in poking the ones I have, I.e. misbehavior.
This is, unfortunately, good for me. 😖

That… that’s not pluralism. That’s control by a minority of the curriculum for the entire class.
It’s not “everybody gets a curriculum for their values” it’s “everybody gets the curriculum that the most invested parents won’t veto.”
@TrueSlazac
If you don’t like our bad culture (and it is bad) and don’t want to participate, the solution is “don’t dine out in the US” not “eat out, knowing the waitstaff need and expect a tip, but intending to screw them.”

The thing about queer faith is that we basically all have a fucking reason for still being here. Very few of us have an uninterrogated faith.

It frames his butt well and creates a noticeable bulge around his penis. Also the fact that jockstraps originate as athletic wear associated them with the homoeroticism of athletics. A good designer jock can be quite expensive, like over forms of “sexy underwear.”

@amyliztweets
No see, you think liberal democracy in Germany ALREADY WAS fascist, not “it would devolve into fascism” since all the parties (except the KPD?) already were fascists the whole time - 1933 wasn’t actually a change, since they were all fascists the whole time.
Feel like if the CoE got over its homophobia it would realize that the secret to doing good evangelism would be to just promote every single one of Jay’s tweets.
Getting called out for calling a firefighter a "fireman" at a church meeting and going "I have to specify the gender, how else will you know if I ogled?" and the priest sighing and telling the treasurer not to minute any of that.
@DamianOfGotham
And the problem is that when you combine the two of them, without ever mentioning it, all the left side stories start to feel like they’re just honeymoon phase between times when an abusive father falls back into right side behavior.

We’ve got real growth like 2-3 full points over every other developed economy and we’re still doing this?
Inflation largely spiked for global systemic reasons and the aid bills did some but minimal amounts to make it worse, briefly. And saved us from *waves at Europe*

Uh… or it’s “we honestly believe in God and would like people who believe in God to treat us with dignity… as they are called to do by God. In the same way I’d like all to treat me decently.”
Faith in God: surprisingly, not necessarily contingent on the behavior of theists.
@JayHulmePoet
Not being British, I kinda think “published author in your twenties” wins over “minor aristo.”
While I’m from a country where “very old” means “from before 1850” but being a warden involves substantial bureaucratic and practical competence, which I don’t associate aristocracy.
