I have an issue with this NPR piece.

There's no enforcement mechanism for the Supreme Court ethics standards.

The article does mention this, but not in the headline. Given how few readers get past a headline, that's significant in how it shapes the electorate.

NPR is one of those institutions that I appreciate the need to contribute to, but they keep coming up short with shit like this. Would they be better if I donated, or would they just do more subpar journalism?

Not that we were buds over Israel before the attacks on innocent civilians in Gaza, but if you're in favor of those attacks, we ain't buds.

@LnzyHou She has good climate positions and since that's an existential issue, it's more important than any other thing I'd want action on.

@LnzyHou any particular candidate in mind?

I mean, I'll settle for a Newsome one, but it's not looking like the American public are happy with a second Biden term.

Trump is facing a string on felony charges and a 14th amendment issue that could keep him from the CO ballot, but he's still out-polling Biden.

Fuuuuuuuck.

Could really do with a Liz Warren presidency right now.

You can always count on Lindsey to have the least humane position on these matters.

What a colossal bell end he is.

Anyone want to take a bet on whether their treatment of the child was based upon their biblical world view?

Also, please invest your 401k in decarbonizing the economy. Look at it this way, if it doesn't pay out handsomely, only a few people will still be alive to laugh at your decision. And they'll be too busy envying the dead.

There's a non-zero chance that within the next 24 hours, Trump is going to angrily call his first-born a radical leftist.

Fuck it. Thwaites glacier is melting and COP28 is being chaired by an unapologetic petrostate, so let's just enjoy these little gifts while we can still enjoy things.

I wonder how Jenna's sense of joy is doing today. Never mind. I'm sure her faith will save her from consequences.

I can't support people who are comfortable killing other people because their religion allows them to see a place as divinely theirs or others as intrinsically evil.

@fuqj00 I think the problem with predictions like that is they can be interpreted as the necessary direction to take.

@Bix what have I missed? This sounds hilarious.

@Susandoyle thank you so much! I'm booked and headed to the airport. I really appreciate your help.

@ImagineThat what do you think my thesis is exactly?

I'm not suggesting that the only way evil can be committed is through faith. I think we're getting our wires crossed.

@Susandoyle Thanks! I'll do that as soon as they helpline opens tomorrow morning.

Really odd that they don't have a 24 hour customer care line.

@ImagineThat Ask anyone who attended magdalene laundry.

What's more galling is the flight tracker shows that it's not actually been canceled. It's just that they've canceled my place on it.

Hard not to take that personally.
