“It’s funny,” I told Flewin. “We have an old Nintendo Game Boy floating around the house, and Tetris is the only game we own. My wife will sometimes dig it out to play on airplanes and long car rides. She’s weirdly good at it. She can get 500 or 600 lines, no problem.”
What Flewin said next I will never forget.
“Oh, my!”

TL;DR on the article
The husband was writing an article on classic video game records, was surprised to find out that holding the Tetris record is a bit of a big deal, and mentions how good his wife is at it.
The guy he’s talking to mentions that the record is 327, way lower than his wifes usual scores of 500-600.
They travel to a tournament, and she goes to do her attempt. Just after she beats 327, and is climbing higher, a judge brings up to the husband that the specific version she’s playing actually has a different record of 545.
She overhears that she needs to beat 500-something, and keeps going, setting the record at 841.
1) Supreme Court draft opinions do not leak. Ever. It is unknown and unprecedented. It just does not happen.
2) Supreme Court clerks are generally right-out-of-law-school graduates and if whoever did this gets caught they will never be allowed to practice law. No state bar is ever going to take them. Their legal career is done for. This person risked their entire future.
I hope the court can’t prove anything. May we never know their name.
Okay i have to talk about this because it drives me fucjing INSANE every time i see it.
First off the tenderness??? Of the kings expression????? Coupled with the knights expression, eyes closed, lips parted, but with the king’s thumb on his chin thats plausible deniability right there baby. In the shadow of a doorway, too, off course theyd be that close if the knight were pulling the curtains aside for his king, nothing to see here. The hand on the kings wrist– is he trying to pull the king closer? Push him away? Hold him right there in that transient moment, that liminal space, the only place they are allowed this tender intimacy??????
fandom people online will ignore the political landscape and blog about their blorbos all the time and then make the shocked pikachu face when abortions become illegal while they were blorbo blogging in the blogosphere
