I just can’t believe Doctor Who would do something like that.

But will they? For birthright citizenship? If not, what will it take?

And if there *is* a popular uprising, won't the Trumpists just violently suppress it, declare martial law, and call for more USA-PATRIOT Act-like destructions of civil liberties?

*As applied to the members of the current Court majority, this title has become a caconym.

Our whole political system assumes good-faith actions to a degree that now seems foolish. The founders assumed that SCOTUS justices* would interpret the Constitution sincerely, if sometimes misguidedly, and would be interested in preserving the nation as a going concern. Naïve, it now appears.

If they rule against birthright citizenship for immigrants, with some spurious argument that 14A was intended to give citizenship to former slaves (or some other BS), doesn't it become law, regardless of what any reasonable reading says?

The whole Trump process is based on Who's Going To Stop Them.

The 2028 Dem nominee for POTUS really needs an old school fire-and-brimstone anti-corruption platform

bring back shame

NYC’s Institute for Collaborative Ed. (ICE) has a branding problem The progressive public school now refers to itself as Ny.ICE, pronounced "nice," to avoid confusion.

Good choice.

Exactly so.

As several comments point out, there's no reason to believe *anything* about this case, since all the information comes from Trump's wholly-corrupt DOJ.

Yep. To be fair, some real science did come out of the now-pseudoscience. Astrologers did manage to predict the motions of the planets, even though they were wrong about everything else.

What was she talking about?

The real question is not "Why is Bluesky so left-coded," the real question is "Why can't the right exist in a social media environment without algorithmic assistance, where people can ignore them"

5 MINUTES AFTER iNVENTION OF WHEEL bro, literally tho bro, the whole world is a wheel, turning round and round, an endless cycle of seasons and lives and realms--it all keeps turning, and it all keeps coming back around 5 MINUTES AFTER iNVENTION OF BOOKS bro, literally tho bro, the whole world is a book, God is The Author of Being and he writes our names in the Book of Life. In the beginning was THE WORD, bro. You see bro?? 5 MiNUTES AFTER iNVENTION OF COMPLEX GEARS bro, literally tho bro, the whole world is mechanical, God is The Divine Watchmaker, and the planets spin along predetermined paths according to the turning of cosmic gears! It's all just predictable mechanical paths from creation to here! 5 MiNUTES AFTER iNVENTION OF COMPUTERS bro, i think i just figured something out-

A good meme to send people who are convinced we live in a computer simulation.

A relief: the captions on BritBox disappeared because my Roku needed to be reset.

I was NOT looking forward to watching Shetland without captions!

😂

More or less. Annual wellness visit.

To the extent I'm not okay it's due to the state of the world, not any physical ailment.

Thanks for asking! ❤️

I have it to lose, so even though I'm not doing anything special to cause it (not eating pasta or potatoes/general lack of appetite), I'm not worried.

Yes. A) General lack of appetite, and B) Not eating pasta or potatoes or...most things, due to type 2 diabetes. Which I guess may contribute to A.

For me to be a teenager? Closer to 50.

Saw the doctor. Nurse said "Blood pressure like a teenager!"

I've apparently lost 20 pounds since September.

Also, complain long and loud, when GenAI screws up your interaction with a company - obtaining/using their products, contacting customer service, whatever. Do this direct and on social media. Employees may well be unable to push back against directives to use this garbage without risking their jobs.

Sure, they've made an environmentally catastrophic mass hallucination disinformation plagiarism Clippy that will destabilize the world, but also their other goal is to replace human workers entirely and let us humans starve. A boycott of AI is the most important boycott of your entire life.

"OK," I said to myself, "Since I've climbed up to the cupboard with the specialty flours, let's see how much of it is expired."

Some of it expired in 2007 (don't panic, that was a thing I hadn't tried to use in even longer than that).

I guess it's been a while.

Gather 'round, younguns, and I'll tell you of a time when will-they-or-won't-they relationship dramas were also totally all about the protagonists fucking.

The year was 1994. The movie? "Four Weddings and a Funeral."
