A court with a normal-ish conservative majority would have been tolerable. I'm not eager for court packing, impeaching justices, and other such options. But this court sticking around post-Trump is untenable. They've already torched their own legitimacy, the only question is what do we do about it.
Democrats need to lay the groundwork for reform by attacking the villains on the Supreme Court - loudly, angrily, personally, relentlessly. And they should start now.

Democrats Need to Treat the Supreme Court Like the Villain It Is
The Court is out of control, and we'll never see reform unless we build the case for it. Starting now.

The CDC has fallen. There is already a Western states alliance for health, maybe we just need to re-establish a new CDC out here. At that point we're 90% of the way to a new byzantium, I suppose.

Costconians, fwiw my fav Lululemon top (LM3DOLS, now out of production) is on sale as a Costco clone: www.costco.com/p/-/infinity...
The Costco fit is slightly looser than the Lulu but not extremely so. I could fit a mid layer under the costco version, a tee under the lulu.

All super rich guys sound the same now. It’s all “I sleep four hours a night and spend the other twenty hours a day developing a product that’s going to bring us the best widespread poverty anyone’s ever seen.”

We need a serious cultural reboot on ACCURACY as a core, aspirational, collective value. Bring back the societal norms of consensus reality and striving towards truth (scientific, journalistic, educational, computational), as imperfect as that effort may be.

Sharing your #SpotifyWrapped should be a #MarkOfShame. Don't do it. Spotify is bad for musicians, bad for society, pumping out AI trash, and funding the miltech sector.

"Trickle down" works in this administration but not for economics, just for "where the buck stops".
Hegseth is very transparently blaming a Navy admiral for his own decision. Let this be a lesson for every other military officer: The Trump administration will issue unlawful orders, then blame you for following them.

I had Stranger Things fatigue & wasn't super excited about S5 but it starts fast & pulled me in immediately. Loved Part 1. I feel like they have avoided the trap of multi-season scifi where everything gets wrung through a canon sieve & must comply with The Rules. Sloppy in a good way. + ❤️ L'Engle

15 meter ham radio band was collapsing for me but a station in Korea and I managed to eke out a quick contact. I can hear the Easter Island special event station too but haven't been able to raise a reply on 17 m.

The Photos app can show me all my old screenshots for easy deletion but what I really need is a way to sort out all the photos of pies that I take at Costco in order to ask my kids what they want me to pick up.

America's sustainable energy progress has been set on fire to provide a last billowing updraft for all those petro exec golden parachutes.
it was a whopping 5% in the US
The EV share of new car sales in 🇩🇰 Denmark was 73.7% in November. Of private individuals buying a new car, 91% opted for an EV.
