How Joe Biden is, for one of the first times in our history, living up to the stated ethics of America and the West. I don't know that Michael Tomasky is any more correct than any of us about what will or won't happen in Russia and Ukraine, and he sounds not hopeful but forlorn. We will see. (The New Republic)

In Wooden v. US,the Supreme Court ruled 9-0 in favor of the criminal defendant, and Mark Joseph Stern wishes every day was like Monday. But even in their concurring opinions, Amy Bony Carrot and Kegs still managed to be a bunch of cocks about it. —Mark Joseph Stern at Slate

This is fine.
According to mythology, the Sessho-seki in Japan, or the killing stone, contains the transformed corpse of an evil nine-tailed fox who imitated a beautiful woman in an attempt to kill an emperor in the12th century. The infamous volcanic rock — registered as a historical site in 1957 — is reported to be cursed, said to kill anyone who touches it, emitting toxic gas, and all the other unfortunate side effects of containing an embedded demon. Anyway, in new news, the rock broke in half sometime over the past couple of days. While many attempted to quell the anxiety by rightfully pointing out that cracks had appeared in the rock several years ago and it was only a matter of time before the inexorable expansion of freezing rainwater split the stone, we here at Numlock News have a longstanding policy of covering our bases, and would like to be the first to welcome Tamamo-no-Mae and all nine of her tails back to our realm, congratulate her on her daring escape from imprisonment, inform her of recent political changes regarding imperial sovereignty that she may find intriguing, offer any aide she may require and just add long may she reign .
