I swear to god there is a guy here in this cafe explaining to a woman about how there wasn't GRAVITY before Newton "made it up." One of his proofs is "how do you think they made the pyramids?"

To clarify this for the Americans: Rishi is a posho fuckrat, wealth beyond wealth, he probably eats quail stuffed with caviar with a side of lobster foie gras every day for lunch. He said 'sandwiches' because he thinks it's what the povvos eat all the time

Cristina's harvesting mandarins in Visalia CA. The temp this day reached 101° & should reach 111° today. She wears thick long sleeved clothing to prevent getting sunburnt in the harsh summer months. The fabric can also wick away sweat, keeping her cooler while working. #WeFeedYou

It's a very minor consequence of the ruling, but it is weird to think "US president goes to extreme lengths to cover up their crime(s)" no longer works as a fictional plot.

Interesting how "respect for the dead" only ever means "don't mention the horrible things powerful people did in their obituaries" and never means "don't dig up dead celebrities and puppeteer their corpses for fun and profit".

This makes sense, denial-wise. He knows no new dogs will contact the press to say he consumed them, but denying he assaults women is more likely to result in more victims coming forward who can't stand to see him lie. And his polling probably shows the public cares more about dogs than women anyway.

i think this is right as far as it goes, but illustrates why his posture on court reform, ethics investigations, etc, is inadequate. the norms-respecting response to this insane power grab is to put together a package of legislation to reinstate the proper constitutional order, not "do nothing"

The story is always the same: major tech companies tell us they care about the environment to silence criticism, then never actually follow through. Google’s emissions are up ~50% in 5 years, following similar news Microsoft is also blowing past its climate commitments.
