I am at a complete loss as to how to react to the last week and a half of Supreme Court decisions. I want to yell. I want to rage. And I really just want to break something... I want President Biden to do something outrageous enough to make the most recent ruling so wrong that it gets reversed....

Just some more personal responsibility washing from the ghouls over at the Washington post. Because home energy use for AC is totally the problem. Not climate control on mostly empty office buildings, or massive crypto server farms, or cloud infra in general www.washingtonpost.com/climate-solu...

So Utah, having passed a transphobic bathroom bill, has launched an online form for people to snitch on folks they think are in the "wrong" bathroom or locker room. Be a real shame if people on the Internet flooded it with fake reports: ut-sao-special-prod.web.app/sex_basis_co...

The party of small government everybody! Interfering once again in the process of free enterprise. I think it is self-evident that when companies are able to lobby hard enough to get the government to push back against unions the unions are absolutely needed. www.wistv.com/2024/04/16/g...

www.bbc.com/news/world-e... It's not enough, it's not nearly enough. The wording is vague and I think purposefully so. It also leaves the blessing open to abuse by priests. This also doesn't actually seem to change anything about how the church considered LGBTQ individuals...
Pope says Roman Catholic priests can bless same-sex coupleswww.bbc.com Announcing the change, the Vatican emphasised that it continues to view marriage as between a man and a woman.

It has been more than 6 years (of experts debunking this with scientific evidence). If they thought they were experiencing radiation poisoning from polonium exposure would they discount nuclear physicists? I doubt it. So why are drugs, & specifically fentanyl, the exception to common sense & reason?
