Pair it with legislation that expands the court by four seats, unless Thomas and Alito resign, die, or or removed from the court within six months.

There's a NATO summit a few blocks away and helicopters have been flying overhead for at least the last half hour, which is triggering memories of when the Trump administration used a low-flying helicopter to attack protesters on 7th Street and it flew right past my apartment.

We currently have the technology to implant the memory of a kidney punch. It has been scientifically proven that a sharp blow to the kidney will implant such a memory.

I think his claim is that the colonists who achieved independence were still British and still pernicious colonizers, and therefore American independence amounted to telling Britain to fuck off but did not amount to British people fucking off back to their country.

It's so lucky that the only reason for wanting to double-check facts is in order to cast doubt on them. It avoids so many misunderstandings and false accusations of bad faith.

"Ordered"? There is literally no mechanism whatsoever for Democratic leaders to order anyone to resign. He had no support in the party because it was obvious an investigation would just drag out the scandal and make it look worse.

Exactly. Al Franken was not "railroaded" because the first accusation was the weakest. He was driven from office because he had no good explanation for why so many of the other women accusing him had such similar stories.

I wish to apologise to Sir Keir Starmer for calling him a shaved stoat penis. I was wrong and most humbly beg his pardon. As the evidence below has clearly shown, this was a false allegation and he is not a stoat penis

No, a sharp karate chop will slice all the way through, to stun rather than decapitate you should use a blunt chop.

That would only work if there were some way to replace him once he was no longer able to do the job, say if he resigned or a majority of the cabinet said he wasn't fit, but you'd probably need to put something like that in the Constitution.

Does the model assign any economic value to not feeling like shit for several days? (I feel strongly that any cost-benefit analysis that doesn't consider "not feeling like shit" to be a benefit is fundamentally unsound.)

We got tricked by science fiction into thinking a futuristic city is all about flying cars and crystal towers and hologram billboards but what it really looks like is nice apartment blocks, good mass transit, pedestrian zones with shade trees and safe bike lanes.

You could maybe, theoretically, with enough computing power, create an algorithmic simulation of the universe with sufficient fidelity to replicate human brain chemistry, but that doesn't make a brain an algorithm any more than it makes *literally everything in the universe* an algorithm.

It's an algorithm. A set of rules that produces a result. Calling that intelligence is like rolling dice to find a path through a Choose-Your-Own-Adventure book and calling the dice a writer because they're making creative choices. The creativity is in the input, the written book, not the dice.

Roger Ebert founded a film festival which was devoted to movies he thought hadn’t gotten the attention they deserved when first released. A single theater, a single track of programming. Every year had films I would never have chosen to see and was grateful to have been shown.
