Clearly, yes it is. The winner will be the one who can complete his thoughts.

Roberts: And so this court decides that we, rather than scientific or policy experts, will hold all regulatory power. In unrelated news, it is legal to bribe us now. Kavanaugh: [Reaches under the bench, sets out little wicker tray] Kagan: Where ... where did you even get that. Kavanaugh: Church.

Yes, thank you. This was the whole enchilada for me. Biden (and Garland) doesn't have any sense of urgency on this issue.

But nobody is giving up. We're arguing over the best strategy to beat Trump. This is the opposite of giving up.

I'm sure we have it every time Biden drops his train of thought and freezes. Those times are coming more frequently now.

I'm seeing people wondering if Harris wouldn't do better. Maybe not the loudest voices, but they make a lot of sense to me.

I blame all the drug commercials. 24/7 being bombarded with drugs that would improve your life but you can't afford them.

It would help if our Presidential candidate was able to say the truth over and over again.

When I was a child, I ran free on the beaches of Cherry Grove, but now I'm worried about who my grandkids might meet in the bathroom at school. /s

I'm so glad you said this. I was feeling like a lonely moral scold. I know I'm a moral scold, but dammit, Carl Sagan would not approve of this movie, and I don't either.

Why is there a photo of Biden and Harris on this Supreme Court story?

Yup. Millennials and Boomers. What Gen X and Gen Z do doesn't matter because they're just too small.

It's all FOX news now. The people in charge have been brainwashed by it and now they think it's real.

I inserted a screen shot into a Word doc, and Word told me it wrote the alt text for the image for the visually impaired. I was like, wow, finally a great use case for AI! That's exciting! I wonder what the alt text reads? Here it is: "A screenshot of a computer"

By how many years though? 2 is too soon, but there must be a time when you don't need to document it anymore.

I quit smoking 25 years ago and my doctors insist on having it in my chart. Like, it doesn't bother me but I don't see what relevance it has. My lungs should be healed by now.

So both WaPo and the Times published Biden is old pieces AGAIN? They're trolling us and I don't like it.

The asymmetry between rule followers and rule breakers is hard but the easy way is rarely the right way. But I hope the liberal justices don't forget the very real people depending on them for more than decorum. Thanks!

Does that flippant "cool story bro" attitude do anything other than make you feel smarter than others? It's not adding weight to your non-arguments. That's just sarcasm. Bart Simpson can do that.

Here's my question: I get that Alito and Thomas have no shame. But aren't the liberal justices ashamed? I hate to hold them to a higher standard, but they're the only ones who might care about standards.

It will be a great way for students to compare how their leaders behave to how they tell others to behave. It turns out hypocrisy is super easy to spot.

I read the sentence "child care has become a market-based system captured, to an increasing degree, by private-equity firms, which now own eight of the 11 largest chains" and -- knowing how private equity firms operate -- the hair on the back of my neck stood up.

Voyager 1 is on the shortlist of the coolest shit we've ever done, just incredible that we sent this thing to space in 1977 and we're still expecting to keep talking to it and getting data until 2036 hats off to the incredible debugging team, as a software engineer I'm in awe

It's all women's fault? That seems like a stretch. These associations are full of people who are full of themselves. We don't need to add sexism into this issue. I suspect men are also on HOAs.

Look, COVID isn't lab-based, you know that. But if you pretend it is, doesn't it make you feel better about the wild animals Americans hunt and eat? Now you don't have to think about that causing a pandemic.

Yeah, let's complain about Amazon drivers next. It takes me twice as long to get anywhere so everyone on the street can get personal delivery of paperclips or whatever daily. So many trucks! So inefficient.
