Fun fact: the states of the Confederacy didn't have the right to *abolish* slavery even if they chose.
Article I, Section 9(4) of the CSA constitution: "No bill of attainder, ex post facto law, or law denying or impairing the right of property in negro slaves shall be passed."
States' rights, eh?

The worst insult in the Klingon language is "tokhe straav'", "willing slave".

Can’t imagine why the Inuit of Greenland are so opposed to getting absorbed into the US, what with our amazing record of treating indigenous populations well.

Ok, everyone, what book is sacred enough to you to get sworn in on?
Strange takes on Mayor Zamdani swearing his oath on the Qu’ran. It has nothing to do with church & state. The point of the oath is for the person swearing in to do so upon some text that is sacred TO THEM. Some Presidents swore in w/o any book. John Quincy Adams was sworn on a law book. His choice.

Bernie Sanders: "We need to be thinking seriously about a moratorium on data centers. You gotta slow this process down. It's not good enough for the oligarchs to tell us 'you adapt.' Are they gonna guarantee healthcare to all people? What are they gonna do when there are no jobs? Make housing free?"

Love how our tools are never allowed to be good enough the way they are. We still use hammers that haven’t changed in 200 years bc they already work, but if they were proprietary tech of HammerSoft they’d work like shit bc investors demanded growth so now HamR v200 uses AI to guess which nail to hit
I don't want new shit. I want Windows to announce they're rolling back like the last five years of crap and also I get to throw tomatoes at their executives.
