2022: The Year of Three Prime Ministers

2029: The Year of Three General Elections?

John Oxley @joxley.jmoxley.co.uk · 21h

Think an underpriced 2029 scenario is "ungovernable mess".

Rob Ford @robfordmancs.bsky.social · 1d

Four parties within a 5 point swing of first place and five parties on 12% plus.

This would be pure chaos under first past the post.

SCOTUS if you're someone who was deported to a foreign gulag illegally: To have standing you needed to have filled out form B-74 and D-86 with quill pen ink from the time of founding.

SCOTUS if you want to harm LGBTQ+ youth: You have standing if you breathe oxygen.

Tom Scocca @tomscocca.bsky.social · 1d

One thing about American's widespread distrust and disapproval of the Supreme Court is that mainstream news coverage mostly doesn't dwell on stuff like standing, so people don't even begin to grasp how rigged the Court truly is www.nytimes.com/live/2025/10...

Tragic news from Canada where the Canadian Supreme Court has gone from the official dress on the left to the one on the right

Canadian Supreme court. Everyone is dressed in bright red wooly gowns, with a beige trim. It looks sort of like a Santa robe

The Canadian Supreme court. Everyone is dressed in black gowns with a bright white kravat, and two thin red vertical lines on the side of the robe

You can absolutely believe that AI will have a very significant role to play in our society going forward and still recognize that this is not at all a stable foundation for the American economy.

Justin Hendrix @justinhendrix.bsky.social · 2d

"The hundreds of billions of dollars companies are investing in AI now account for an astonishing 40 per cent share of US GDP growth this year... In a way, then, America has become one big bet on AI."

America is now one big bet on AI

It’s seen as the magic fix for every threat to the US economy

There is simply no way DST alone causes more than a third of annual US stroke cases. I support ending DST but this is nonsense.

Save Standard Time @savestandard.bsky.social · 6d

“Sticking to Standard Time would prevent around 2,602,866 cases of obesity and 306,988 strokes.” #DitchDST www.livescience.com/health/sleep...

Abandoning daylight saving time could prevent over 300,000 stroke cases a year in the US, study claims

Springing forward by an hour each March knocks the circadian rhythm out of alignment. A new model of the chronic health impacts argues for scrapping it entirely.

I supported legalization before it was legal.

I was wrong.

% of US men under 30 who say legal sports betting is a *bad thing* for society

22% in 2022
47% in 2025

No other demographic group has seen a bigger increase.

Americans increasingly see legal sports betting as a bad thing for society and sports

Today, 43% of U.S. adults say the fact that sports betting is now legal in much of the country is a bad thing for society, up from 34% in 2022.

Julian Sanchez @normative.bsky.social · 7d

This is a welcome result, but I don't know what kind of intelligible principle SCOTUS is going to gin up to distinguish the Fed from other agencies where they were happy to let Trump steamroll statutory firewalls. The only hint of a rationale they've given is that the Fed is special for... reasons.

Not the same but there was a guy who bought a first class refundable and changeable ticket that came with lounge access. He's go in, take the drinks and food that came with the access, then change the flight to a future date and do it all again.
