The Supreme Court won’t say whether it questioned justices and their spouses about the Dobbs leak. No wonder the court’s credibility is in freefall. If the court didn’t question Clarence and Ginni Thomas, it’s because the court didn’t want to know the truth.

Isn’t “hands on the wheel and be able to take over in case the machine does something wrong” *more* stressful and cognitively difficult than just… driving?

I was looking at other dogs on the internet.

I have a question for people using screen readers (boosts appreciated).

I make jokes and usually use a "*" to differentiate between stuff that is happening and what the person is saying. And sometimes I use square brackets to describe the setting of a scene. For example in this one:
https://ohai.social/@cookie_mumbles@ohai.social/109382171180214977

What do people who use screen readers prefer? My phone's voice-over doesn't pronounce quotation marks or square brackets but I do like to make the context clear somehow that's not annoying

I have sychic powers.

Eg. You're now thinking, "it's spelt psychic, moron."

@trumpet Looks like a suspect server.

Which Trump backed MAGA politico is more of an embarrassment?

A. Dick groping closeted gay homophobic fake religious Matt Schlapp
B. Shape shifting closeted drag queen serial liar, fraud, thief George Santos

STOP USING “REFUTES” AS A SYNONYM FOR “DENIES.” I just saw a headline claiming George Santos “refutes” new allegations against him. Needless to say, he hasn’t refuted anything. He’s denied allegations, and is almost certainly lying. Sloppy usage misleads readers.

@lain tru?

Mine are like "Fuck you. Pet me."

Jim Jordan shouldn’t be chair of House Judiciary committee, he should be a defendant in a criminal trial for attempting to overturn the 2020 election. Jan 6 committee notes Jordan was a "significant player" in Trump's coup.

I'm older so I remember things. Everything you see happening today should be understood this way:

The top tax rate used to be 90% in order to prevent the really rich from destroying democracy.

The corporate tax rate was 50% because corporations exist to serve society.

AND the inheritance tax was really high to keep family dynasties from gaining power over us.

Went for an early morning walk with my new camera today.

Fun task, explaining to non technical family members WTH happened.

“Well you see they banned us for breaking rules that they created a week after banning us for breaking those rules.”

“It's called MAS-TO-DON.”

"It's some type of elephant…”

My favorite part of Jurassic Park is when Rose is all "I'll never let go" and then she lets go of Jack's hand and T-Rex eats him

Soap operas led me to believe amnesia and evil twins would be more of a problem. Kind of a let down.
