There is a 7 foot tall guy behind Rishi Sunak who likely ran for office just to be able to hold a printed out L behind him during his concession speech.

Imagine if the NYT defended trans people instead of attacking them. Imagine if the NYT refused to platform bigots and insurrectionists. Imagine if the NYT actually covered local New York City politics and news. Imagine if the NYT had a public editor.

I have no idea the best path re Biden but I do know a solid week straight of “Biden Old” and “Rich Dems Worried” above-the-fold stories are *obscene* in the face of SCOTUS using the Constitution to wipe their asses purely in the service of reinstating a felon rapist as president. Crazy-making shit.

Thirteen to match the number of circuits, so each justice has oversight on one. It was why the Court had nine at the beginning of the Civil War.

Another thing to think about re the elite revolt against Biden is he *is* the president who funded the tax police and ended the cozy wink, nudge relationship on dodging the taxes they claim to support.

We're about 2 hours from full dark, and my end of town is already booming with very loud fireworks that can be barely seen against the afternoon sky. Fireworks are illegal within city limits, but the PD only enforces in wealthy neighborhoods, lest the monied experience disturbance

Remember how the "retail theft crime wave" disappeared as soon as companies had to do their annual reports? That's because it's illegal to lie to shareholders.

If you assume that nothing bad will ever happen to you, and also that you have no reason to care about those others to whom bad things do happen, you can write as though politics does not matter. You can even write the passage in the screenshot, if you assume you'll never be a dissident or a Uighur.

I think the bigger threat is not so much that the Right will go after internet porn but that they’ll define porn as “the existence of LGBTQ+ people in popular media such as books, TV and movies.”

Suspect a big impetus to this push is an attempt to roll back the clock to the pre-internet days when the profits of porn distribution accumulated to the overlapping groups of local business tyrants, pimps and mobsters who owned the porn shops and strip clubs and prostitutes bsky.app/profile/jenn...

Menthol, because that's associated with Black smokers. But the beauty of an anti-porn law is, as a justice once remarked, an LEO can't define it but will know it when he sees it. Arrests will be almost entirely pretextual.
