i know nothing about whoever put their litter-covered paw in your coffee. i have no idea who is behind it. i disagree with some of the things they're doing & some of the things they're doing are absolutely ridiculous & abysmal. anything they do, i wish them luck, but i have nothing to do with them.

The thing I can't stop thinking about is this: I'm 48, and in my adult lifetime there has been one Republican who won the popular vote. But I will probably spend the rest of my life under the authority of a Supreme Court dominated by hard right conservatives. How is that democracy?

I don't want some egghead bureaucrat telling me whether there's poison in the water I drink. Ideally I'd want that decided by a 29yo judge who went to a "biblical law school" and does not believe dinosaurs existed, and then to have that decision reaffirmed six years later by the Supreme Court.

Yeah, no. All this does is, as you say, "forces people to face the issue," but the ISSUE BEING FACED IS THE PROTEST, not the cause of addressing climate. Splashing soup onto a famous painting makes the story about the shitheads doing the soup-tossing, not climate change.

what wee need is an anti Dunning Kruger type rule that tells us about how the better they get at something, the harder it gets for ppl to remember how batshit it is to be this good at something and no most people can't "just hit the ball a little to the left"

Reddit is a great place for non-enshittified info, but it's full of subject matter experts who purposefully overestimate the abilities of the average person. "Why pay $15k for HVAC installation? All you have to do is drill holes, run drain lines, +rewire your electrical panel. My 9 yo could do it."

It’s nice to see so much support for felons! Looking forward to the movement to give them universal voting rights and eliminate the discrimination against them in employment and housing!

No other nation has ever prosecuted a former leader, except for about half of them, so you can see why this is so outrageous.

Hey @darthbluesky.bsky.social may I ask a birthday favor? Today Chalupa (that my friend found in the TacoBell drive thru in TX) is available for adoption after her stray hold has ended. Will you post her link for me? All I want for my birthday is a home for her.

It's been clear for 25 years, but today really underscored that the only consistent principle among the court's conservative judges is the desire for conservative outcomes. Federalism, originalism, textualism -- they're all just a means to an end, readily abandoned when inconvenient.

Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition …There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.
