I don't want to hate, but on that alone (coupled, it seems, with a long stretch of intentional fouling by Miami to freeze clock?) it just feels like video game stat padding idk
Just checked: Kobe shot 20 in that game. 20!
43 free throws has doomed me to be a hater of this performance I'm sorry
What a wild number!! I'm like, agog
I strongly believe you would make one. Strongly.
43 free throws is ridiculous I was amazed and now I'm annoyed!
Bam Adebayo box score: 42 minutes, 83 points, 20-43 from the field, 7-22 from three, 36-43 from the line
You give me that many in an NBA game and I'm a double digit scorer easy
I'm sorry: Bam shot *43* free throws?
I read Chris Murphy's thread on the war briefing and this might be the most bewildering news I've seen today.
One thing I like about Chicago is watching lightning and hail happen at the same time.
This is why I am overwhelmed with gratitude and pride that my colleagues just voted to promote me to full Professor here at Tulane Law School. *This* first-gen Central American kid who went through so much.
Now there's going to be one more full Latina prof. Excited to keep getting to work! 2/2
Totally
scam you, lie to you, extract value from you. It's systemic shoplifting as fair play. So this isn't a disagreement: to the extent this is fueled by nihilistic indifference, it's socially corrosive. Reforming it, though, can't simply be a matter of civic virtue. We need institutional overhaul, too.
I am not defending this, especially because I think there's something to the "collective nihilism" diagnosis and because it seems that richer people do this more often, but I also can't help but feel it's a direct consequence of being surrounded by behemoth institutions that appear to exist only to
unclear if this cut is too deep, awaiting results
Judge Dredd: "I am the law"
Yeah, with zero knowledge on my part this seems like a good development staffed in a facially objectionable way.
See, this is a lie, because that's flatly, incontrovertibly, not what Ogles said. That the caucus's formal leader would lie to run cover for it, rather than condemn it, is strong evidence that this simply isn't an aberrational position.
Very happy to announce that "Mapping Malfeasance" is now forthcoming with the Indiana Law Journal!
I argue that partisan intent is sufficient to invalidate an election map under under any state's constitution.

I was mad about this last night, and I woke up mad still. Maybe that's a me problem and maybe I should log off, but, well.
Especially, *especially*, when the specific deviation from "standard" syntax is literally a hallmark one of the America's greatest fiction writers. It's not just the flattening that's insulting, it's the total obliviousness to the important literary contexts in which deviations can happen.
anyway, here's an AI video of a couple on anthropomorphic cats going through a divorce
Your post taught me scansion! Isn't art cool? How we can think about it, apply forms to it yet be deliberate, even subversive, in our stylistic choices?
I learned the word "parataxis" *because* of McCarthy's writing
To use the word "mistake" in this context is infuriating.
Absolutely, it's bad across the board. Like driving the wrong way and still reaching a terrible destination.
Fair! But grant the premise: it is *insane* to suggest that adding punctuation to Cormac's writing is to improve on it, or that his writing was flawed for the omission. His writing works *through* that choice. He's one of the best of all time, and this discussion erases all of that.
Probably a comma after "as well" because distinct literary style is unacceptable in the midst of a technological revolution driving all forms of communications toward median slop. "Blood Median."
