5-4 is a podcast about how much the Supreme Court sucks. It's a progressive and occasionally profane take on the ideological battles at the heart of the Court's most important landmark cases, and an irreverent tour of all the ways in which the law is shaped by politics
OK so here's the 5-4 hosts explaining their feelings on voting for biden this november, they perfectly lay out how I personally feel better than I could. It's kind of a long clip but its worth it
"Freakazoid" is undoubtedly one of the most outlandish cartoons to have ever graced our screens. Its zany humor and clever fourth wall antics would surely capture the hearts of meme enthusiasts online. 😂The theme song, just as absurd as the show, fits like a glove. With amusing lines like "textbook case for Sigmund Freud" and "Floyd the Barber cuts his hair" delivered in a deadpan style, it creates a whimsical fusion of contrasting elements that makes it impossible not to sing along. Though it might not be widely recognized, it has always been a cherished favorite of mine. 😊
04. Chip 'N' Dale's Rescue Rangers
The theme for "Chip 'N' Dale's Rescue Rangers" is the final Disney cartoon from the late 80s to early 90s to feature in this ranking. I really appreciate how the song develops, moving from a somber vibe in the verses to a bright and cheerful chorus. The lively "Ch-ch-ch-Chip 'N Dale/Rescue Rangers/Ch-ch-ch-Chip 'N Dale/When there's danger" lines are particularly catchy. The vocalist skillfully conveys this transition with his performance. Listening with headphones, I discovered the incredible bass line; it’s a fantastic slap bass groove that’s simply a treat for the ears. In summary, this theme is an outstanding piece that ticks all the boxes and more.
just to share resources on understanding the scotus cases that dropped this week, 5-4 is a leftist legal podcast that livestreamed a quick discussion on the student loan case (17:36), the LGBTQ discrimination case (28:58), and the affirmative action case (49:00)
Some summarizing quotes:
"[The student loan case] is another major questions case....where the court said basically...'it's a really big thing that [Biden] did and we think he shouldn't be able to do it."
"The scope of [the LGBTQ discrimination case]...it's ostensibly limited to expressive conduct. ...That is not the same thing, at least according to the court, as just firing someone because they're gay or just turning away a customer because they're gay. The court would say that someone going to buy a sandwich and getting turned away because of their sexual orientation is different than this. ...I don't really know how in good faith you can separate these things out but the court doesn't view them as the same thing. ...It's not just a blank check to discriminate against gay people."
"What [the affirmative action] case does is basically say that achieving diversity is not a compelling government interest. ...It could've been broader than that. ...This ruling likely only applies to affirmative action in colleges and universities. But that isn't to say the court wouldn't go further on a case that brings a broader issue."
