R.I.P. Ruth Bader Ginsburg

I only just heard on NPR radio, minutes ago. She fought the good fight and deserves a few moments of appreciation before we all turn straight to discussing the political repercussions.

oh no

worst possible news

A nice, thoughtful way to put that, Aimless.

Yup

an amazing person

she even commanded the respect and friendship of scalia, a man who scorned others as naturally as the dew falls downward.

As if this year couldn't get any worse.

Andy seeing your name pop up here just made my year better.

It's been a few years, I'm back... I was surprised this is still going, it's so awesomely old-fashioned. Anyway....

aimless otm

My sincere condolences, neighbours. This is a fucking nightmare.

RIP RBG X

RIP

Damn it!

Just thinking of the shit fucks rejoicing in this news has my blood boiling

the RGB documentary from 2018 by Julie Cohen and Betsy West was good and worth watching

sorry *RBG

CMYK doco didn't really work onscreen

Oh shit.

RIP RBG

and very conspicuous timing to get the news at around sunset on rosh hashanah

Many of her rulings supported the police state that America is

Please shut the fuck up.

You can be pissed, but now America is in this position because she didn’t have the decency to step down 10 years ago

These are good opinions and definitely this is the place to share them. While you’re at it, you should waggle your scrotum at her families.

you just hopping from thread to thread to make sure everybody has your opinion preserved on parchment?

"here's a hot take - a hot pocket is not a sandwich. now I'm going to let everybody on Twitter know"

I’m a woman, so it’s a bit challenging to do that.

At least I’m in Canada and can sleep easily

ahh another fine contribution

We’re all just occupying space here.

In case I wasn't clear: beamish, you specifically need to shut the fuck up.

didn't quite catch that, can you repeat OL?

Eloquent person, that Old Lunch.

Anyway, the failed experiment that is the American Republic is ending, and none too soon

so many flags for so many posts

guess they don't have RIP threads in canada for you to shit on

You can be pissed, but now America is in this position because she didn’t have the decency to step down 10 years ago

One, two! One, two! And through and through
The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!
He left it dead, and with its head
He went galumphing back.

"And hast thou slain the Jabberwock?
Come to my arms, my beamish goy!
O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!"
He chortled in his joy.

let me be more blunt than Aimless: finally we get to see the benefits of the 20 FP policy, fuck you beamish and I wish double FPs would count

any other non-US people who wanna mouth off, bring it fucking on

wish I could cheerpost that ^

beamish13 I will see you on the Anne Murray thread when she dies, and I will taste your sweet maple flavored tears

RBG was my favorite justice, and in fact I pretty much liked anyone who has or had a primary home and/or summer home in New Mexico

There are always "firsts" in one's life. Tonight I commemorated my first poster flagging. Zero guesses about which poster earned this distinction.

(RIP Ruth Bader Ginsburg.)

I obv. relate to the nihilistic Canadian act with regard to US politics, but context matters ffs.

one of my least favorite ppl on twitter made a similarly smug shitty remark like 20 minutes after the news broke and it was pretty satisfying to see like a hundred "fuck you" responses pop up almost instantly

FPed on Twitter

RBG was my favorite justice

Definitely top 5

She graduated first in her class at Columbia U. Law School and couldn't get a job at a NYC law firm because she was a woman. She argued six landmark gender discrimination cases before the SCOTUS and won five of them. So, yes, she is a progressive icon, whatever any Canadian woman thinks.

boom.

tho ashamed to admit i'm hearing every Aimless post with the voice he did in the ilx "voices" thread reciting the chaki "hot chick in my bed" post, now

Every GOP woman owes her liberty to RBG. History's merciless that way.

i'm hearing every Aimless post with the voice he did in the ilx "voices" thread

I can fix that if you give me a bit of lead time.

as a canadian i'm confused as to why she's considered a progressive hero. she was one of the most progressive scotus justices but that isn't saying much.

go live in canada then. and enjoy that. we don't care

of course we care about the brutal violence and suffering that this has enabled, but in the end i truly do not care what canadians like you think. because this stuff is being done to us, you can judge in like a 'haha americans' but this stuff is being done to us. you are mildly immune... we are captive and not doing well. give us a break. and shut the fuck up

honestly just shut up abanana

sorry to be incoherent, about nine drinks in

Sounds like it was pretty amazing that she hung on as long as she did but still would have been so much better if she'd manifested immortality another few months in the corporal form not just asa feminist, judicial legend.
OH my.
Revolution now?

Ananas: Do you read before you asks these pertinent questions of yours? Aimless succinctly described why about four posts above yours.

abanana, that is, not ananas. Although I prefer ananas.

Canadians:

it’s fine to log off

Completely indefensible for Katie Couric to withhold this from the public to protect a *sitting Supreme Court Justice*https://t.co/t0kaBJ5eRh pic.twitter.com/UBhw8FV4FL

Oh shit she would have lost her next election

all the more reason to dismiss RBG's blinkered generation

This probably all came about when RBG was asked if she considered “bending the knee” while a democratic president was still in office

Rather than dying later

And here I just thought she was a big Game of Thrones fan

The public has a right to know what justices think. And they have a right to express themselves. Annoying paternalism from Katie Couric.

RGB should have retired in 2012 and then she could have said whatever the hell she wanted without Katie Couric’s intervention.

All this proves once again that parents who dress their children as Ginsburg for social media props need professional help.

RBG rather.

CMYK is a better model anyway

Next up: Thurgood Marshall made some disparaging remarks about women. Film at 11.
