I hate how absurd this sounds, and I hate how much I believe this.

Not slaves, probably. Once they have actual general AI and robotics has come along enough, they can kill or allow everyone else to die off, keeping all planetary resources for themselves to be processed by their machines while AI churns out "art" and "culture" for them to enjoy in perpetuity.

Imagine if we had to relive our entire lives every second of every day to be able to maintain human consciousness and process the next second's experiences. I mean, outside an anxiety disorder.

I don't get it. They're all genuinely beautiful beforehand. Why would they do that to themselves? What the hell was the standard of beauty they were trying to meet? Why did they pay so much to look so cheap?

Pepperdine can have the best law school in the world, they can imbue their students with ambrosia from the gods, it doesn't matter a whit how good the school you graduated from is if you can't pass the bar.

You think she would have survived this long into Trump 2.0? At best she'd be rotting in jail after clawing Trump's face off the first time he insulted a woman in the press corp.

Oh, diffraction grating or something similar that inverts his reflection, so he painted what he saw onto the reverse. Very clever.

She consulted a long time because it took a long time to find a sleezeball willing to tell her "yes."

Prosecution I get, but what disciplinary steps are there when she's not a member of any bar association that would punish her?

Correction: the y-axis is misleading, but as the graph label says there was "only" a 56% decrease in activity, not "practically zero" activity. Means there's plenty more to knock out still (and hopefully it will be).

Huh, there's a business in Washington Square that gave (might still give) off the most hideous screech at all hours of the day. I assumed it was one of their signs out front, but I could never pinpoint it walking along their building. I wonder if it was for imagined rats and the like.

"Immigration judges" aren't real judges, they're admin employees with a fancy title.

Some things are just too obvious for even this SCOTUS to try to handwave away, especially when you throw in lower courts being obviously insubordinate. Must have been a lot of 8th Court of Appeals judges hoping to replace Alito or Thomas.

I'm pretty sure they emphasize the lower courts to contrast with the State courts, since the 8th Circuit tried to say the Missouri Supreme Court violated Purcell to justify their violating the principle.

Likewise, the Court is dictating to them what to do, but couching it in language to afford the lower court some residual respect.

The Court maintains some sense of civility with its subordinates, like how they'll often pass a case back to the lower courts to re-adjudicate in light of their ruling instead of closing out a case themselves. The lower court is technically in control, but they're constrained in how they can act.

I think to drive home the fact that there had never been anyone on the bench championing the 2025 map, so it should have been clear to the lower courts that pressing this angle was pointless.

With how the Secret Service confiscated the remaining credentials before giving them back, those journalists better check their reissued passes for bugs and trackers.

Unless they get a veto-proof majority, though that doesn't seem likely.

All over one seat, when Dems and the left have lost so many potential seats from decisions on mid-decade redistricting in blue states. The SoS must be desperate to get in Trump's orbit.

Why is this talking like Millennials are still arbiters of style? Haven't we aged out of that as a cohort? We're not making minivans cool, we're using them because we're older and more practical as a group now.

Not sure I see what is so unlawful here. If he calls the special election and McConnell is alive, then quick proof of that in front of a judge during the immediate GOP lawsuit would shut down the special election and all is good. Unless they can't provide concrete proof of life.

What, those words? Sure, they were great words, he only says the best words, but he says a lotta words, you see, he can't know what he's said all the time. Like, "I do," great words, said them before and he'd say them again, but like he's supposed to remember the words the priest said before that?

As an American, seeing the final score filled me with more patriotic vim than the whole of our semiquincentennial celebrations so far.
