Lately, when he's feeling energetic, my husband will say he is "full of bees." I told him that the saying is "full of beans," but according to him, that doesn't make sense. Just now he is attempting to do a task he's put off for a year because he "has the bees" to do it.

They did this for years with things like Obamacare, and it never seemed to hurt them

There are plenty of poli sci textbooks about participatory democracy, and it is a routine element of governance in Europe and many other countries. This is more of an American legal education problem (and maybe political science too, I didn’t study that subject in the US)

maybe seizing and arresting the Supreme Court majority for aiding and abetting an attempt to overthrow the U.S. government can be a "core constitutional duty" and an "official act," why not

The words in the constitution don't give the president immunity, nor was that the intention of the authors. But you must understand that the meaning of the constitutional vibes have evolved over time in a way only I can detect. Now there are penubras and emanations that tell me he is in fact immune.

einstein sent this to curie in 1911 when she was being harassed by tabloids. it contains everything you’d want in such a letter: (1) your haters are trash (2) you’re a baller, a true queen (3) i have determined the statistical law of motion of the diatomic molecule in planck’s radiation field 🧪⚛️

It’s funny because we didn’t even need one study. Like every civilized country in the world with enough money provides a social safety net to citizens, including money and/or housing, and thus have far lower poverty and homelessness rates.

This isn’t so controversial when you realize it’s just for cybersecurity. Right-wingers go so far as to bomb clinics, so their hacking efforts must be intense. Therefore PP needs weapons-grade cybersecurity.

Yes, as usual, almost every country in the world is fascist for regulating speech slightly differently from the US 🙄 That’s precious coming from a country that is on the precipice of actual fascism

Given that it only protects against government interference, and not private parties, it’s arguably half as protective as the EU Charter and ECHR. Plus there is a giant black hole where copyright is implicated. It only has slightly stronger protections where hate speech & defamation are concerned.

That rings extremely true but still fills me with rage. There was this annoying article in the Economist being like “Aha! Finally we have proof that workers are more efficient in the office!” And it was about call center employees, not people who actually need to concentrate.
