[Entirely serious:] I fear we will have to sanction the BBC in Woke II until they get with the fuckin' program as part of a broader "get your fucking shit together, Brits" sanction package on the various cartoonishly evil powerful figures in the UK government.

![from Axios [ed. note: pause for booing, sounds of disgust, hurled rotten fruit]: "The environment is starting to rival the second midterm election of President George W. Bush's tenure in 2006, the consultant said, amid the Iraq war and the botched response to Hurricane Katrina. Republicans lost control of both chambers after losing 30 House seats and six Senate seats.
"The numbers are somewhere between shitabulous and craptastic," a top Republican advising several federal races across the country told Axios. "It looks worse than 2018 now. Trump is heading to Bush 2006 levels.""](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:qp44wbdtbrgyzzgugn5ekx2b/bafkreickioswmwah77bsde4qlletrurlrejefzy6fgeux6lrdxpahx4qre)
![Wikipedia excerpt from Rehnquist's page: "In a memorandum to Jackson about Terry v. Adams,[31] which involved the right of blacks to vote in Texas primaries where a non-binding white-only pre-election was being used to preselect the winner before the actual primary, Rehnquist wrote:
The Constitution does not prevent the majority from banding together, nor does it attain success in the effort. It is about time the Court faced the fact that the white people of the south do not like the colored people. The Constitution restrains them from effecting this dislike through state action, but it most assuredly did not appoint the Court as a sociological watchdog to rear up every time private discrimination raises its admittedly ugly head.[8]
In another memorandum to Jackson about the same case, Rehnquist wrote:
several of the [Yale law professor Fred] Rodell school of thought among the clerks began screaming as soon as they saw this that 'Now we can show those damn southerners, etc.' [...] I take a dim view of this pathological search for discrimination [...] and as a result I now have something of a mental block against the case.[32]
Nevertheless, Rehnquist recommended to Jackson that the Supreme Court should agree to hear Terry."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:qp44wbdtbrgyzzgugn5ekx2b/bafkreigiosnhf4qakjhmv57gx7zfggj2whmezvkxgiozegan7c4hba5opq)
