They built the diagnostic racks at Los Alamos and shipped them on specially built trailers. “La cuna” in use in the north bay of TA-60-0017, 1990

Amazing equipment that had to transmit results in the instant before being destroyed by a nuclear detonation. Several hundred feet underground.

Nixon said "if the president does something it's not illegal" and it was so embarrassing that conservatives moved mountains over forty years to make it true. Democrats responded bravely by doing nothing except chastise you to vote for them while they do so. The experiment is going great.

There's no longer any ceiling to how wackadoodle Republican lawsuits can go. As @elliemargolis.bsky.social has flagged, the sovereign state of Missouri, being unable to invade or embargo New York, has instead sued it before SCOTUS to try to aid Trump, because ... reasons.

In spite of everything, Donald Trump is still facing the worst electoral map of his political career. He is weak. The RNC is weak. He's is facing an incumbent who beat him once already. America is furious about Roe. He could win, but it is so, so far from a forgone conclusion.

End of day: I will do everything I can to avoid Trump (an open fascist & illegitimate candidate b/c insurrectionist) being installed as President. Biden had a bad debate but has been fine in other appearances so. Biden is D nominee I will, regretfully, be voting Biden & beg you to do same.

Even in the scenario where Dems have all of Congress but lose the presidency is utterly devastating. Science agencies (NASA, NSF, NOAA, EPA, etc) will be gutted - they were working on doing this before. We’ll lose cabinet positions like Deb Haaland, the first Native American cabinet secretary.

Today in 1991, “Terminator 2: Judgment Day” opened in theaters, ultimately grossing $521 billion worldwide. “Three billion human lives ended on August 29th, 1997. The survivors of the nuclear fire called the war Judgment Day. They lived only to face a new nightmare: the war against the machines.”

“social construct” doesn’t mean “fake”. it means our understanding of reality is shaped by the way our culture makes sense of the world. reality shapes us, we shape reality.

I think I slightly mischaracterized our discussion here. We don't conclude the law is an impediment *to Trump.* We talk about how his underlings could be taking a big risk by carrying out his designs. But as we also say, Trump could pardon them. So as we concluded, the threat is profoundly grave.

Such an important point in this pod--Trump might be immune but his underlings are not; and they have a constitutional obligation to refuse an illegal order, whether or not the person issuing it can be prosecuted. Thanks Greg.

To quote John Dewey, a person inherits the thinking of their culture just as they inherit the language of their culture. In many respects, the limits of our understanding of the world are the limits of the cultural resources we have available to us.
