Ever have one of those mornings where you just drop your iPhone into your oatmeal?

Counterpoint: The Supreme Court lacks the authority to change the text of the Constitution. So either it affirms the text or (further, and more completely) nukes its authority as Constitutional arbiter. There’s no third option. Art III (courts) can’t just usurp Art V (amendments).

In their confirmation hearings, RFK Jr pledged he would not be anti-vax, Hegseth said he respected women serving in leadership positions in the military, and Bondi said she would not weaponize DOJ against Trump’s political enemies.

@npr it’s not a principle. It is a constitutional guarantee.

Supreme Court really going to do this. Just eviscerate the 14th Amendment which required a *civil war* to achieve.

Wait, is that a long-standing principle or is it the law???

wtf is a FIFA peace prize? that's like being an NFL laureate in physics

This bird’s greed delights me

I guess the point here, if there is one, is that Olivia Newton-John’s “Physical,” which admonished the listener to “get physical,” was a forceful restatement of her grandfather’s objection to Einstein’s reticence over the probabilistic interpretation of quantum mechanics. (5/n)

Max Born’s other great cultural contribution, besides the probabilistic interpretation of quantum mechanics, is his granddaughter Olivia Newton-John. You can see the family resemblance. (4/n)

All super rich guys sound the same now. It’s all “I sleep four hours a night and spend the other twenty hours a day developing a product that’s going to bring us the best widespread poverty anyone’s ever seen.”

super cool story in our local paper www.oregonlive.com/news/2025/12...

Furloughed from county jury duty for lunch, following another two hours of *voir dire*, which is apparently Latin for “my god, are they *still* talking?”

I’m bummed that the set of people I can talk to about Ilanit’s disco phase and the set of people I don’t talk to anymore because they are rabid Zionists are the same set of people.

Great watch on the impacts of climate change in the UK. But it applies to the rest of the world just as much as climate change does.

In the seven months we’ve been in this house all our books have been in boxes in the living room. Schuyler’s were in storage for three years before that. Today our giant Amish-made bookcases finally arrived, and I have unpacked and cataloged and merged almost everything.

A day of Multnomah County jury service starts with a civics lecture about the separation of powers in American government, and the role of citizen juries in judicial decision making. I find the earnestness of it all quite charming. Is this the one corner of government that isn't entirely cynical?

The Multnomah County Court missed an opportunity when they failed to name the on-site courthouse coffee shop “Legal Grounds”

I named my fists Pinky and the Brain because they’re about to do the same thing they do every night.

I named my fists Heat and Gloom of Night because neither stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds.

I named my fists Groucho and Harpo because they’re about to leave some Marx.

“DEI is a violation of human rights”

The unrestrainable Federal charge up Missionary Ridge is the same reason the fascists and white supremacists that still lurk in America cannot hope but to lose a second time.

As usual, Phil Sheridan was in the thick of it. At the base of the ridge, he lifted a whiskey flask to toast the rebs watching from above. “Heres to you” he yelled. A cannonball landed nearby spraying him with dirt and debris. “That’s damn ungenerous,” he cried “I shall take those guns for that” (12

My favorite Markdown editor for macOS, MacDown, has been abandoned by its maintainer for years. I decided to reboot the project. The result? ## MacDown 3000 ## Mostly bug fixes and minor upgrades so far, but I like it, you might too, and I need beta testers! Please try it out: macdown.app

“Which means if you measured income inadequacy today the way Orshansky measured it in 1963, the threshold for a family of four wouldn’t be $31,200. It would be somewhere between $130,000 and $150,000.”

Not wanting to disappoint you so much that it lies is the last quality I want in a computer.
