“There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, ... winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that ‘my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.’”

"I saw the video and what if a bird flew by and one of the shipwrecked used a paper clip and squid ink to write a message to attach to the bird's leg to get a message to Suriname so they could continue their mission?"

“Longstanding principle”? It’s not an inertial policy. It’s literally written into the constitution (as amended, because…slavery).

Twilight Zone ep. 28 (A Nice Place To Visit) is must-watch material for fans of Pluribus. Watched it again last night, and the parallels are uncanny.

Under Trump, America is committing war crimes. But under Biden, there were irritating student protests at a college I did not attend. I have never felt more politically homeless.

A neat thing about birthright citizenship is how it tests whether a person cares at all about the Constitution. There's no argument against it, birthright citizenship is the unambitious text, the obvious intent of the drafters, and the undisputed way it was followed for the past 150+ years.
I continue to think that Matty coming out against birthright citizenship a few months ago should have been taken as a major warning sign that the group chats have already decided to surrender on this.

It's time. A *rough* first draft of my 2025 @goose-band.bsky.social #JOTY playlist.
I didn't keep this current as well as I have in past years, so it still needs a fair bit of tuning. Right now, I'd say everything is in the right spot ±10 — with the top 15 ±5.

Counterpoint:
The Supreme Court lacks the authority to change the text of the Constitution.
So either it affirms the text or (further, and more completely) nukes its authority as Constitutional arbiter.
There’s no third option. Art III (courts) can’t just usurp Art V (amendments).
