This picture is so crazy that if you had this as a scene in a made-for-TV dystopian scifi movie in like 2014 people would switch channels because you’d ruined the suspension of disbelief.

Every news story is now “State Senator Randy Pervert (R-Springfield) was indicted on 8 counts of lewd behavior with a child under 12 and has been put on paid leave from his two jobs as Border Patrol liaison and youth pastor at First Presbyterian (PCA) where parishioners say they were ‘blindsided.’”

People talk about this stuff in terms of how much it'll suck for gaming and I hate to inform you how many MRI machines, X-Rays, all sorts of other vital machinery are just a Windows IoT Edition PC in a beige plastic box with a big magnet/accelerator/whatever attached.

A four panel comic, the first shows an angel on a shoulder saying “pursue the virtuous path!. The second is a devil on the opposite shoulder saying”if you don’t do something selfish, someone else will!” The third is a clock near someone’s hip saying “ you had better decide quick! You’re running out of time!” The fourth is a pizza slice on the opposite hip saying “hit a cop with a baseball bat!”

The Constitution and Historical Rupture 69 Pages Posted: 5 Feb 2026 Jonathan Gienapp Stanford University Date Written: January 24, 2026 Abstract This essay is a response for a symposium on my book, Against Constitutional Originalism: A Historical Critique. It responds to criticisms made against it while further developing the book's central themes. It contends that the problem of historical rupture— that the eighteenth-century U.S. Constitution presupposed a very different way of thinking about constitutionalism and law than reigns today—is the most important problem implicated by the theory of constitutional originalism, and yet remains largely neglected.
