Is this 1/5?

I can count on my hands the number of times I've seen any of these oligarchs from the Supreme Court "talk to the public" (through their ideological filters of cable news nonetheless).
For the amount of power they have, we rarely hear them get interviewed. Lifelong position to rewrite our governance!

Amy Coney Barrett defends heavy use of the shadow docket: "If we wrote a long opinion, it might give the impression that we have finally resolved the issue, and in none of these cases have we finally resolved the issue."

Out of all the "intellectual" magazines and op/ed outlets, The Atlantic's popularity, circulation, and stable of "writers" vexes me the most.
The colonial prison torture guy being the editor/leader explains a lot, but there's so much more that makes them horrible.

But like... why does America give this guy so much power when his critiques are so stupid... and are incorrect... about fairly transparent texts like... comic books.
Any normal society would look at him and say "this is an insane and stupid person, we can ignore him."
... But he runs everything now?

My god is Alan Wake 2 a stunning game. Like... the writing and the ideation is great. Its scenes are built great. The dread is delivered. The difficulty is tuned in. Keeps surprising you with how varied it is. The Lynchian vibes.
Very creative.

I can't believe we built and will tear down society over these weird, hoarding lunatics.
Every billionaire is a policy failure.

Lol. The loser blocked me for saying he sounds like Trump. Which, to be clear, he does.

You sound like Trump. No need to engage. I hope you're happy your guy is in power.

Yung Dolma @yungdolma.bsky.social · 2d

Every time you guys equivocate on this, you open the door for Trump. Just remember.
We had a chance to end the republican party after George Bush, repudiating all that grift, authoritarianism, and evil.
Obama squandered it. His party squandered it. And they're fucking up and wasting it all now, too.

The nation’s largest private prison company is asking the Supreme Court to give federal contractors blanket immunity from lawsuits — including human trafficking claims.

If they win, private contractors could operate with even less accountability than they do now.

Feel like if circumcision caused autism, it would have made the signs at the intactivist parade.

I just rewatched Hanna in an "enthusiasts" theater (top of the line museum theater). While that movie goes harder than a palette of bricks, I am reminded that Cate Blanchett's acting chops are like "Van Halen playing guitar" level.
D if you haven't seen it..... go watch. All gas.

Don't you have a genocide to defend? Is this what they're paying you to do?

I lost faith in "constitutions" and American "institutions" as early as when the supreme court picked our president in 2000/1. What took you so long?
It's as thin and brittle as the paper it's written on. They went to war without congressional approval. Nobody ever had consequences!
