Not the first time though. Someone did it in the 80s I think

You know, there was a time when, if I thought I might have hit block instead of mute, I'd go back and check.

Oh man - that series was a chunk of my childhood. Had totally forgotten about it.

I love the aggressive assertion that the pre-1900s "national tradition" should prevail over the tradition of the Kingdom of Hawaii here.

I just hate the theatrics of SCOTUS opinion day. One item of SCOTUS reform should be that they must release opinions when they are ready, online, without ceremony. You're a Supreme Court, not a Broadway musical.

Seems like the companies pushing this tech are not being strictly v honest with anyone about how it works. futurism.com/artificial-i...

Judge Warner's approach is likely where a lot of states will wind up.

Me too. He almost certainly would have been.

read this entire thread with a dropped jaw bc mAN WHAT

Mute any post that gets more than 600 likes.

Archbishop Broglio is, to put it extremely mildly, not generally viewed as one of the more liberal of the American bishops.

Also, we elected Trump, we all share the responsibility for what he's doing, and we all get to share in the consequences. That's the nature of our system of government. Yes, all of us. Including those of you who sat out the election to preserve your purity.

So, let me get it straight... The new rule would require DOJ lawyers to violate rules of professional conduct?

Gee, what a passionate defender of the First Amendment.

Ok. Simple thing for each other. We're here for each other. Nothing else matters. If we hold that, we'll probably be OK.

Half feels optimistic.

X’s terms are insanely agressive, and basically represent an effort to force every litigation against Musk—even ongoing suits—into Reed O’Connor’s courtroom.

The X Terms of Service are amazing in many regards, but the choice of law and choice of forum parts (in Section 6) are a real standout. They apply to everything, including patent disputes, apply to pending and future disputes without regard to when the conduct occurred (or will occur)...

You want me to do that, you're gonna need to pledge allegiance to Bofa first.

Seriously, the thousand-strong Ultramarines Chapter has probably - if you read all the books, Black Library and game supplements together - took like 6,000 fatal casualties in what was nominally 999M41, but female custodes are a bridge too far for you? You are deeply unserious.

And, I mean, I'll be honest. I'm not generally a fan of big retcon changes in established franchises. But let's be serious for a second - it's not like Warhammer is known for continuity or consistency. Stuff gets retconned all the time. Basically whenever there's a new model.

One thing I love about the new mini - it's not the oldhammer version of a female warrior, if you know what I mean. She's armored reali--- let me try that again: she's armored just like the rest of the faction. It's not a Barbarella, Queen of the Galaxy model is what I'm saying.

GW just announced not only female custodes, but a female shield captain model was just previewed. So if you're looking for the joy of exploding chudheads, that's definitely about to happen.

I mean...that's definitely Grok's thing. No conceivable doubt there.

the Fed Soc Review just published a piece that references one of my articles to show that court reform advocates only care about whether they like a decision, and not if it's legally correct ..but I said in the FIRST paragraph of that article I thought the court was wrong both legally AND morally 🤷🏾‍♀️

"I approached one of the people with a “F*** ICE” sign, And I shared my sense that their presence at the rally was what was most helpful, but the sign was not. I was not well received." In a strange way, this pearl-clutching opinion piece made my morning. Never change, humanity. Never change.

This is a very smart point. And it is echoed by what I have been told about how things happened this time around in Portland as well in the aftermath of 2020.

I think this is right, but only if they themselves were asked to provide proof of citizenship. As long as you’re white and don’t have any sort of accent, you’re probably gonna be ok. And isn’t that what matters in America, that I get mine?

Reducing my follower count and my blood pressure, one block at a time.

The fact that this appears controversial will never cease to amaze me. Also that people get very angry when you ask "but how would that work."

Not going to lie. I'm running out of energy for this place. It's not fun. And it's not just not fun because the world isn't fun. It's not fun because so many people here dedicate themselves to making t It worse for everyone.

Sorry, what's the argument for this not being a fascist administration again? I mean, I know Tom gets sad and stuff if you say it is, but what are the actual reasons?

The reason I think it is important to say this is that it helps us focus on the likely risks. It is, to me, very unlikely that a state will simply choose not to hold elections. It is also, to me, very likely that voter intimidation and suppression will increase beyond the current terrible method.

1. He wants to 2. It’s plausible he’ll try 3. His people would support it 4. But it’s vastly harder and more complicated than people are suggesting and can’t be done by his fiat

The doomers on this site are some of Trump's greatest allies.

got asked to pinch-hit the midday mass at the cathedral today and you all know what that means!!! VOTIVE MASS for SOCIAL JUSTICE

Signal’s encryption is good. That encryption does not prevent people who aren’t friendly from listening to you when you don’t know who you’re talking to. Use common sense and don’t say anything to 1000 strangers you wouldn’t want read out loud by a right wing rag or in a court of law

Ok, I've scrolled enough doom for one night. None of this is a sign of an administration that is operating from a position of strength or confidence. This is a leaderless flail from increasingly desperate people. Which, unfortunately, makes them very dangerous.

Using it as a checklist.

Strickland still heading down the road toward schism, I see.

It must be Big Block of Cheese Day again.

Make Greenland a state, but not DC or Puerto Rico. The complexion of the logic behind this escapes me.

Also, people aren't always thrilled to play against someone who prints an army (when the game isn't mini-agnostic). A couple of figures is one thing, and printed bits are likely to draw complements, if used well. Oh, and events are likely to continue to enforce restrictions.

That pastor is out there living the gospel. This kind of thing is also why at least one Episcopal diocese has apparently told its clergy to have their affairs (wills included) in order.

Great self-care, fully approve.

Someone needs to loop this and set it to Yackity Sax, stat!

The winner of today's one-liner goes to a guy who looked like he was sleeping. Scene: the ENT clinic, waiting for audiologist Asst calls a name three times. Asst (just loudly enough to be heard): I really wish people would pay attention. Guy: I bet many of the people here wish they could hear.
