That's one reason among many that we need term limits for U.S. Supreme Court justices. Under the most popular proposal, justices would serve for 18 years before transitioning to senior status. Importantly, this means each president would get two -- and only two -- SCOTUS noms.

The image is of a four panel comic.
The first panel shows Sarah, the protagonist, holding a red ball labeled "A SILLY MEME".
The second panel shows Sarah taking the ball and going through a door labeled "GROUP CHAT".
The third panel shows a group of women sitting together and consoling one woman in the center. The woman in the center is saying "...And that's how it happened. It's been the worst day of my life."
The fourth panel shows Sarah standing in the doorway behind them awkwardly holding the red ball.

Saoirse is in an afterschool program, and today she excitedly told me all about the SMART test for evaluating the credibility of information (source, motivation, author, review, two-sources). I can think of a lot of adults who would benefit from this class designed for 4th and 5th graders.

I don’t think most people know that for about half of US history, there was no such thing as illegal immigration. People just immigrated. It wasn’t until racists made laws in attempts to keep away the people they didn’t like that the country suddenly needed immigration “status.”

Do not normalize children dying from measles. Measles was previously eliminated in the US, thanks to vaccines. When children die from measles, it means that adults have catastrophically failed to protect them because they have rejected basic science.

4 panel comic

Panel 1:
A post from “kavishj9611” that reads: 

“All the people who are anti-Al or want to slow Al progress, I have one question:
If Al disappeared tomorrow, could you still get through an entire workday without ChatGPT, Claude, or any other
Al tool?
Imagine Al was suddenly banned.
Would you actually be willing to give it up?”

Panel 2:
And Orange Guy and a Pink Guy are standing in a room that has two pipes in it. Both pipes are pumping raw sewage into the room. The characters are waist deep in it.
Orange Guy says smugly “Ok Mr “I don’t want to be in a room that’s filling up with raw sewage” let me ask you this”

Panel 3:
The sewage has reached their chests. Pink Guy is gagging. Orange Guy smugly continues “If all this sewage disappeared right now, could you get through the day without it?”

Panel 4:
The sewage is almost up to their eyeballs. Orange Guys says “Look at that shit floating past your face. Are you willing to give that up?”

The painting has two dates because I substantially repainted the original in 2000, and it's different from the image that appeared in the book. Look closely and notice the fingers of Roland's shooting hand are accurate to the text. 3/3 www.michaelwhelan.com/galleries/le...
Figure detail from LEGENDS: THE GUNSLINGER. On close examination of Roland's right hand, the index and middle finger are shortened to stubs. The tail of his tattered duster blows to the side to reveal a revolver on his left hip.Foreground detail from LEGENDS: THE GUNSLINGER featuring a raven perched atop a human skull in a thicket of red roses. Etched on the side of another skull is the artist's sigil, the stylized letters M and W bound within a circle.

At some point, we need to consider bringing back into politics some important ideas, like “Landlords have no legitimate interests”, and “Profits really are an extraction of value from others’ unrewarded labour”. Before we get to the hard stuff like “Money isn’t real, it’s just a token system.”
