those arguing that taylor swift can't be a role model because she is an unmarried and childless woman at 34 are doing a great job of arguing that children need more women role models who are unmarried and childless at 34

the bar is subterranean, but every time i see stuff like this i feel like "wow, i really am much better than the average dude". like the doc telling my wife "wow your husband looked at this to help you figure it out!? he's a good husband!" like...ok sure great, but what the fuck, other dudes!?

I see some good ideas being suggested, but here's my entry: he can now *commercially* pirate music, since to really be criminal rather than civil, needs to be commercial. So he could set up the White House's official pirate streaming service. And no one could do anything.

roberts essentially ignores the purpose of separation of powers, which was not to create entirely separate spheres of action but to prevent the emergence of unchecked authority. instead, he says, separation of powers *demands* unchecked authority.

roberts’ reasoning is fundamentally (lower-case “r”) anti-republican. i know we dunk on the framers here but roberts has issued a rebuke of the revolutionary assumption that concentrated, unaccountable power is a fundamental threat to liberty.

It's just hilariously disingenuous. Imagine looking at, say, ALL OF HUMAN HISTORY and concluding that the biggest threat to liberty isn't abuse of power, but powerful people refraining from sufficiently wielding their authority out of fear that they might one day be held accountable.

No shame in feeling scared, overwhelmed and not knowing what to do. To me feeling one's feelings doesn't preclude taking action. These are confusing times. Give yourself some grace.

As far as I can tell, Biden can legally murder Trump, as long as he does it using government forces and claims it is to defend against an enemy of the state (ie, an insurrectionist).

At this point, it is 100% undeniable that the Supreme Court majority is attempting to destroy democracy and seize total power over the US. They're not even trying to hide it. Since the media refuses to clearly convey this fact to the public, tell everyone you know.

Now imagine that Apple can shut down this investigation before it starts. That may be the result of this week's Supreme Court decision to overturn Chevron. It's certainly where the people pressing for that decision want to go.

Many thanks to Ashley for pursuing this.
