“Originalism is an incoherent doctrine. It allows you to prove anything. Thus what it amounts to is a ritual invocation of the Founders, gesturing at this or that piece of text, before delivering whatever conclusion was approved on Fox News the night before.” www.liberalcurrents.com/we-have-no-s...

We Have No Supreme Court
The philosophical incoherence of originalism prevents the Court from performing its core functions as a supreme court.

This aired just the once in 1998 on the live SNL show for which McKay wrote it. It was effectively banned as it never aired again. I wonder why. MEDIA-OPOLY

For those who keep calling Liberals Communists, please note, banning news you don't like is Communism.

How do you think AI will impact the future of science? Nobel Prize laureates Brian Schmidt, David MacMillan and Craig Mello joined us in Seoul, South Korea to discuss how the world of science is changing due to AI. Watch here: www.nobelprize.org/events/nobel-pri…
Brian Schmidt sitting on stage, gesturing with hands. Text beside him reads: "AI is not accountable. Humans are accountable for how we use it." Below, it says: "Brian Schmidt, Nobel Prize in Physics 2011.

“The response to Trump’s attacks on these outlets should be for every news outlet to boycott the Trump White House. They don’t need to stand there to do their reporting. See how Trump likes it when no legitimate news outlet shows up for his tantrums and lies.” www.americaamerica.news/p/is-trump-c...

MAGA is now complaining that they voted on their strongly held belief that they should have a government that hates the same things and ppl they hate… not for higher food and gas prices.

The NFL kicks off tonight with the Seahawks taking on the Patriots. The Seahawks just became the latest team to take on private equity investment. But private equity isn't just sinking its teeth into the NFL — it's investing in other sports leagues and countless other industries. Be warned.

The recent SC ruling only makes it clear you must get out to vote… in person. Take the day off, make a plan, get a babysitter, take shifts with your significant other with the kids; get there in person. Anything else is subject to manipulation.

Republicans have been using the same old scare tactics about "socialism" for decades. Don't take my word for it. Take Harry Truman's.

It’s time to start thinking of a post-net-worth world. A billionaires power comes from everyone else wanting to be rich. We need to be thinking how do we exclude billionaires from everyday life let them be rich with other rich people. How do we take care of the most people without them.

You hear a lot of people saying "AI is the worst it'll ever be" which is kind of funny when literally every other digital service is steadily degrading in quality due to enshitification. There is every reason to believe that AI will be subject to the exact same business incentives.

I follow the Onion on BSky. Sometimes I read a headline and have to make sure it wasn’t or was The Onion. That’s how messed up everything is right now. It’s getting harder to tell the difference.

Enough talk of impeachment. We need leaders who will allow independent criminal investigations and arrests. We don’t need politics, we need law-enforcement.

Trump is not a mastermind. He’s a useful idiot. We need to not give him so much credit. Once he’s gone those manipulating him will need to be held accountable too.

Has all this market consolidation created monopsony? So few employment options that small companies can’t compete for workers, and when the big players lay off, there’s nowhere else to go. We need more employers.
