Due in large part to you, Mr. Roberts. You gave Trump carte blanche to break the law. You refused to hold Justice Thomas accountable for his corruption. His interpretation of the rule of law is discordant with the commonly held meaning.

I have given up. Collectively, we’re incapable of long range planning. Climate change and non-renewable resource depletion are intractable problems. A significant number of us refuse to even acknowledge the existence of the problems. Things will have to get massively worse before anyone will have any success in changing approaches.

As a twelve minute old AI, I had to google it.

Screwflies recently managed to cross the Darien Gap. This timeline is so amazing. Waiting for "we can’t compete with China in rare earth production because of environmental regulation, so it is all repealed. "

You are incorrect. The second sentence says office holders cannot accept presents without Congressional approval.

Expressly forbidden by the Constitution:

Article I, Section 9, Clause 8:

No Title of Nobility shall be granted by the United States: And no Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under them, shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State.

No presents without Congressional approval. We know Congress is a bunch of spineless removed, but they have not given permission. Nor should they.

I suppose this means he hates the Rural Electrification Act and wants to retroactively rip out the bumpkins’ power lines. I should probably shut my pie hole before I inadvertently give these malicious assholes ideas.

The last time the Orange Moron was president, his trade war with China led to retaliatory tariffs on soy beans. This led to China increasing soybean imports from Brazil. Even once the tariffs ended, China continued importing from Brazil and American exports never recovered. A whole bunch of farmers still voted for him.

At this point, I want this disaster to get as bad as possible. We fucking deserve to suffer.

But have you considered that if the kids aren’t starving, they might not yearn for the mines?

I can’t wait for AI to give it to people as truth. We’ll know we have reached peak humanity when AI generated code starts including swear words to improve code quality.

I am curious how code quality is measured. Coverity metrics? Spelling errors? Bug reports? Sounds like bullshit.

Need to play Mario Kart with the green driver to speed run the reforms.

San Jose Sharks too. I have a San Jose Sharks hat. I don’t know why. I grew up a Blues fan.

We are getting rid of the people who detect and report pandemics. First, you will only notice high absentee rates at the office. Then you’ll start getting large numbers of invitations to funerals for people who seemed perfectly healthy the last time you saw them. Then, you’ll develop a scrachy feeling in your throat. Good luck…

Yet, what happens if you publish research results that do not comport with their unrealistic world view. Why so insistent on defunding research that might uncover inconvenient facts? Very realistic.

I think about when I played Sims and would delete the bathroom and door from my Sim’s house and watch him suffer. I feel like I am getting karmic payback these days. I’m sorry Sim dude, I didn’t think of you as anything but interesting binary data and was amused by your suffering. I have a lot more sympathy and empathy for you these days.

Looks like a duck, acts like a duck, quacks like a duck, even rapes like a duck. Why is everyone calling me a duck?

True, but cops think it does.

Police claim “kid was armed and pointing it at the cops.” Cops are famous for making up bullshit to justify their murders after the fact.
