I'm having a dental thing tomorrow morning, and tonight, the entire right half of my head is just screaming with nerve pain, and i'm simultaneously cringing at the pain and marveling at how the distribution almost exactly matches the onion-skin distribution of the trigeminal pain receptors

What makes it so good is just a friend realizing exactly how to engage with a friend during the darkest moments. If people want to see what positive masculinity looks like, it's this.

The Right are inept, insecure jabronis who would rather fear their neighbors than admit they could learn something from them. Weirdo behavior. Loser behavior.

Loser, loser, double loser behavior, even.

Same vein:
SCOTUS should have 13 members, one each from each district.

Districts should elect their SCOTUS representative by 2/3 vote to serve a 5 year term after which point they return to their District Court seat.

SCOTUS Justices are DC Judges and are covered by same ethics rules.
I'm going to keep saying this in my effort to speak it into reality: Supreme Court should have at least 100 Justices with rotating panels (and maybe an en banc option). No single Justice should have so much power and they shouldn't be names everyone knows.
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.

NCAA must consider if there are too many bowl games, the impact of NIL money, & the transfer portal on the sport?

I would be 😡 if teams who were asked to be in a bowl game after the initial team declined were fined.

KU finished 5-7. Bowl games need to be earned.

Stopping data centers is anti-fascist activism. You heard it from me; now go and spread the good word. We can and must stop them or slow them from being built.

For reasons completely unrelated to any opinions about regulatory policy, a Day 1 executive order here in the US should be ending every government agency account on X. Just delete them all, plain as that. For the same reason the US government need not have accounts on Stormfront or 4chan.
Pretty crazy that nearly all of the EU Commission is still on X even as Elon Musk is literally talking about destroying the EU.

You can leave X. It's really not that difficult.
So what's the outcome?

2️⃣5️⃣ of the 27 Commissioners have posted in the last week

2️⃣4️⃣ of the 27 generally post every week (Albuquerque has never been on X, Ribera is sporadic, McGrath has somehow stopped)

0️⃣ have stopped as a result of what Twitter has become since the Musk takeover

imo KU Med / UKHS is heading in the same direction. more concerned with buying more hospitals with out of state "partners" than actual health care in KCK
15/ Today we’ve published a deeply reported 5-part series. It’s about Albany, Georgia.

It’s about getting sick in America.

And it’s about what happens when the most powerful institution in town is a hospital.
As Phoebe Memorial Grew, the Health of Albany, Georgia, Declined
The five-part series, “Sick in a Hospital Town,” pursues one question: Why are people in Albany so sick when its most powerful institution is a hospital?

I'm not sure it's in the self interest of America's tech bro billionaires to suggest that we bring back public executions to punish the most destructive people in our society.
A Palantir billionaire just called for public hangings.

“It's time to bring back masculine leadership to protect our most vulnerable,” writes Joe Lonsdale.

This is where Silicon Valley authoritarianism is heading:

Honestly, in a year or so, it's going to be so incredibly hard to tell what's real and what's not in videos of this sort that it's going to ruin and crater that entire experience, unless platforms put in robust checks and limits on posting stupid fake Gen-AI shit.
