I also don't understand the European urge to Make Esperanto Happen when (if you don't want to stick with English as the de facto shared language) Latin is and always has been right there filling the role for two thousand years before we got bored with it. Latin as she is spoke is not actually […]

Mark my words: by the end of 2028, the dollar will no longer be the world's reserve currency; U.S. big tech will have lost billions of dollars in revenue from other countries switching to other tech, and the U.S. stranglehold over world banking (i.e., that which gives the U.S. the ability to […]

Apparently children have to be protected from picture books that show same-sex parents, but it's okay for them to see a man being executed. To the fascist, these things both make sense. Children have to be forced to recognize the fascist view of the "natural order" of things, which includes […]

OMG ICE just shot someone in Marble Hill! There was a five year old kid in the back of the car. Marble Hill is in the Bronx, although technically it's part of Manhattan. It's a quiet almost suburban like neighborhood. I have family who lives there. (They are OK.) I think they said the man who […]

But because she undeservedly loves and trusts us, she will move on from her hostility when told to, and after a little while I’m confident her inherent sweetness will win out over the mistreatment she has been subject to if some kind person shows her a little patience.

He's depleted military weapons supplies. He's made enemies of our former allies. He's had Hegseth fire 20% of the leaders in the military. Why wouldn't he want for the troops in San Diego to be bombed? The Purpose of a System Is What It Does. #POSIWID

A couple of billion years ago, cyanobacteria evolved the ability to photosynthesize. Suddenly they could turn the abundant atmospheric C02 into carbon for replicating themselves. The only side effect was the release of oxygen. It was a monumental success, but it ended up turning Earth's C02 […]

There aren't many days when you can kayak off Start Point, renowned for one of Britain's most dangerous tidal races. But yesterday the stars aligned, so I bunked off work. Delighted to see Rupert Kirkwood (the Lone Kayaker) out there. He took this picture of me +1. Before you ask: yes, it's real. 🧵

A software always runs on a computer. A software always do what its creator wants it to do. If the software doesn’t do what its creator wanted, it is a mistake from the coder, a bug. If the software runs without the consent of the computer’s owner, it is a malware/virus. Stopping a software […]

Donald Trump’s remarks were dangerous — if not treasonous — putting a target on two of our biggest cities and one of America’s largest naval hubs.

I am directing the State Threat Assessment Center to actively monitor the situation in the event that foreign actors interpret the President’s remarks as an invitation to target California.

The irony of course is that Originalism’s big selling point was supposed to be constraining the discretion or judges to impose their own political preferences as law. In practice the effect has been very much the reverse: Liberating justices from the constraints of stare decisis.
