I don't know how you lose running against a Court that wants to prosecute the pregnant and preemptively pardon that perpetrator.

I can’t believe the Supreme Court just ruled that the president can sleep outdoors in a public space.

Also just tossing it out there, but SCOTUS saying "we need to do this to protect executive authority" when it's literally the executive branch arguing they shouldn't, sort of gives the lie to the idea this was about protecting constitutional departmental interests as opposed to protecting Mr Trump

Google built its reputation and massive fortune on search, which produced a list of relevant websites each time you entered a term. Now it's pivoting and will instead provide you with a seventh-grade book report on those websites

A fun moment in history was when all that stuff about Sam Bankman Fried came out and Elon/Elon type guys were like “funny how when someone gives to the DEMOCRATS no one sends him to jail and all the leftists are silent” and then he went to jail and everyone on the left went yeah fuck that guy lol

Tips for arguing on the Internet: 1. Link to 20-minute youtube video or article but don't summarize key points 2. Reframe your opponent's argument as a horrific strawman and declare victory 3. Deploy shitty zingers or memes that dunk on strawman argument previously established by your cult

Big takeaway from the Tesla earnings call is that Elon doesn't want to do anything to shore up sales, because he'd rather try to use the idle GPUs in parked Teslas as a distributed AI supercomputer... which doesn't make sense, but even if it did, it would still be stealing from your customers.

Long story short--the states can't DQ, only Congress can, and only through appropriate legislation. Liberal concurrence says no need to decide last bit, and it's inconsistent with 2/3 majority needed to remove disability. Barrett says everyone simmer down

Once again, the conservative majority on the Court shows that it strongly supports the rights of states to do what they want, as long as what they want advances the political agenda of the conservative majority on the Court.

A lot of people have been asking why defense counsel could issue a subpoena. In Georgia, we have a statutory right to fill out a subpoena, provided to us blank, subject only to our own good faith. casetext.com/case/harris-...

It would be wrong to see this as just a prudish or Victorian or even sincerely religious attitude about sex. It’s about control. It’s about the authority of the state intruding into more and more parts of life, and about making more and more people complicit in the abuse of power. /1
