Who needs ethical Supreme Court Justices? We do!

Key Senate Dems want Supreme Court funding tied to an ethics code for justices https://www.cnn.com/2023/04/03/politics/supreme-court-ethics-code-funding/index.html

They're about to announce the artemis astronauts and i didn't apply and I'm probably unqualified but I'm so nervous, what if they pick me and i have to go to the moon

Luchin linked his "volunteer" card to his AliExpress account, and hackers gained access to it. Now, instead of drones, Luchin is receiving truckloads of dildos and strap-on (more) #Ukraine #News #Invasion #Russia #9yearsOfWarInUkraine #WantedDeadOrAlive

I made cute plant markers over the weekend. :)

What the fucking fuck? The QAnon Shaman is being released waaaaay ahead of his 41-month sentence for trying to overthrow the damned government. This is white-man justice.

@knittingknots2 @ScottSoCal I love the contrast between then and now. (2010)

I just learned that Britain’s deadliest animal is the cow, killing as it does nearly 3 people each year. Not 3 whole people. Just nearly 3

Now if that’s not quintessentially British, I don’t know what is.

Immediately scrolling to the bottom of Terms & Agreements and clicking OK is known as American Acceptionalism

I remember when Aaron Swartz was criminally prosecuted for downloading too many academic journal articles, but, sure, it's totally cool to scrape everyone's personal photographs as part of a commercial effort to market discriminatory surveillance tech to police departments.

Peter Beinart is absolutely right. One of the biggest reasons the political left is weak in the US is that many of us on the left choose to tear away at each other across lines that divide us, rather than making common cause and turning our critical focus towards those who really deserve that focus, those setting us against each other from the top of the economic ladder.

The lack of solidarity of many on the left in US, and the insistence on purism tests: so politically dumb.

Your regular reminder that if you have a “no politics” rule, what you really have is a community that is only welcoming to straight white cis men

@DaveMWilburn It infuriates me just seeing people refer to Russia-Ukraine War as “crisis” or “conflict”. It’s hard to view it as anything other than a transparent attempt to downplay the deaths and suffering of tens of thousands.

come on down to the stop n shop in salem tomorrow between 10 and 12, where I’ll be autographing copies of my new self-published book, “Musk: Ascent of a Man”

I DON'T NETFLIX AND CHILL, I BETAMAX AND RUN AMOK.

I propose that all major #tech companies stop developing new software features & new hardware for a full year. And then spend that year fixing the shit they’ve already released so it actually works properly.

My Soros-backed wife made me do the dishes again.
