US economy added 206,000 new jobs in June! To put that in perspective, average monthly job creation in the supposedly great 2017-2019 economy (during the Trump presidency pre-COVID) was 181,000. The recession many predicted, and some have been hoping for, keeps not happening.

When I was a kid in the early 90s, my parents' personal email addresses were at Frodo. net. Why? Apparently, they trusted that a gay porn website would have good privacy protections on their email server.

Just a reminder that "Judeo-christian" values are just way to blame Jews for Christian nationalism, and just because they steal the Torah doesn't make us belief buddies. Judeo-christian values are just Christian values in fancy dress.

Notice how everyone is somehow talking about Biden Too Old right now, and NOT about how the Supreme Court just legalized Trump being a dictator for life and gutted the administrative state, and how the Heritage Foundation is now issuing terrorist threats? Think that might not be an accident?

There’s a lot more evidence for the proposition that Trump sexually assaulted children on Epstein s island than there is for Biden’s supposed sundowning.

In the 50s there was a huge explosion in movies where American men find a tribe/alien civilization /etc of all women and their arrival upends the structures of power. Almost certainly inspired by service members coming home after WWII and finding women dominating all spheres of life.

I mention use disorder meds because Opioid overdose is a *huge* problem for people leaving prison. They can't continue their meds, they're stressed out by trying to put their life together, and they go back to opioids. But they don't have the tolerance they had before and take too much.

Which is why "both parties are the same" makes me so angry. Are there things where I think Dems could be better on? Of course. But at least they generally care about making people's lives better and fixing real problems.

This is crucial, because it means people getting out of prison can get their important medications right away (including psychiatric and use disorder meds), rather than waiting for paperwork. One less barrier to getting back on track after prison.

Also, I went to a small school without a meteorology department, so the class was just taught by a Geography professor who liked meteorology as a hobby (because he sailed and flew small planes). Very chill class.

reflecting on the immunity decision a bit, what the Court seems to be saying is that every element of the executive branch is at the President’s disposal, no matter what he wants to use it for. his motives don’t matter. the office is a weapon to be wielded however he sees fit.

The thing about Tractor Supply is that it's recent growth is driven almost entirely by chicken sales, to the tune of 11 million chickens a quarter. Chickens, famously, are pretty good at making more chickens. Lowes, which has a pretty good DEI record, now sells chicken feed and supplies.

Two immediate thoughts: - Presidents have been able to get away with *a lot*, so to some extent, this codifies the (very, very bad!) status quo - BUT ALSO: To officially codify presidential immunity in this way, with reference to this specific situation (an attempted coup!) is utterly terrifying

Once again, the problem is not any theory of constitutional interpretation, because they don't use any consistently. It is that the Republicans on SCOTUS pick and choose and rationalize whatever reasoning is necessary to rule in favor of Republicans.

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.

Right, but more practically, it means it is impossible for congress to make laws to be administered by the executive. Congress cannot foresee everything, and they don't have the expertise for a lot of rule making.
