Like the Attorneys General of Missouri, Kansas, and Idaho lamenting a decline in the teen birth rate? The pro-life lobby has some real creeps, though that’s not so surprising among fascists.

To put this in perspective chestnut trees used to be dominant species in the United States. Billions of trees were killed by fungal blight and now fully grown America chestnuts are functionally extinct. There is no getting them back. Ever. All for a data center. www.gadgetreview.com/one-of-ameri...

One of America’s Last Chestnut Groves Is About to Be Destroyed for a Data Center
A rare 200-tree American chestnut grove in West Virginia may be cleared for data-center development, but the project denies the site is on its land.

I used to think he was a great legal mind who I simply disagreed with on basically all divisive issues, but this is pretend logic. There’s nothing about legalizing same-sex marriage that infringes on any religious liberties, and saying otherwise proves he’s not as bright as I thought.

The downtown Neiman Marcus flagship was one of the first major Dallas businesses that broke with these practices. In 1961, the company desegregated its Zodiac Room, a swanky lunch spot frequented by Dallas elites. Later, they welcomed Black shoppers to come and buy clothes without restrictions.

I haven’t had much of a problem with his performances, to be honest. He reminds me of Firmino’s first few months, but it’s just taking longer to settle in.

I think we all need a reminder that passwords moving to two-factor authentication and then multi-factor authentication is a failure of the entire tech industry, and we deserve better. In the age of AI being able to hack everything, MFA doesn’t protect. It’s just a burden that won’t go away.

That doesn’t surprise me too much. I’m just glad the journalistic instincts (or whatever) kicked in when the question was so direct and important.

Agreed. It also matters how the inevitable BS tactics are handled.The host was excellent about not letting her ramble as she avoided the direct question, highlighting that she had many chances to answer it and never did. This clip is going to be very bad for Braverman.

Rangers came back from that fate in Scotland. Man City can do the same if they actually care about football. I think the owners might just lose interest and divest.

We’ve always assumed they were cheating because you can’t just suddenly become title contenders and CL qualifiers without cheating. It was clear as day, and it’s taken a long, long time to get to the truth. They need to be kicked out of both competitions.

Renee Good's family filed two lawsuits today. The first, against, USG, is a standard wrongful death. The second is a Klan Act lawsuit against Jonathan Ross, AND STEPHEN MILLER and Greg Bovino. It names Nick Shirley and Christopher Rufo as non-party co-conspirators for their racist propaganda.
44. At all relevant times, Defendants Ross, Miller, Noem, Lyons, Homan,
Bovino, and the John Doe Federal Agents acted under color of federal law and within the
scope of a joint enterprise with the private actors described below. Defendant
Lewandowski acted in part under color of federal law and in part, as alleged below, as a
private person, his federal status having been limited to a temporary part-time designation
that his conduct exceeded. Shirley, Rufo, and Ben Bergquam, and the other non-party
private actors described below, agreed to and in fact participated in the conspiracy alleged
here: each acted in concert with, and with the knowledge and encouragement of, federal
officials.

Yeah, of course. And similarly one can criticize people who didn’t vote for Kamala because of the genocide in Gaza. But the level of invective I see against young progressives for voting their conscience is wildly out of control.

I personally disagree with accelerationism, but I recognize that it’s a real viewpoint, and that people who believe in it are not in favor of the GOP and they also don’t owe Democrats anything.

Your analysis that he was most ideologically aligned with Democrats assumes that everyone has to follow a lesser of two evils logic and then call that lesser evil their ally. It’s absurd at face value, and you’re way too locked into two-party politics. He would tank his whole party by pulling out.
