The trouble, of course, being that an automated tool has a lot less friction to someone using it to (for example) stalk their ex. The problems this is meant to address are real, *and* the potential (or nigh on inevitability) of its misuse also real.

Query: *If* a real decrease in specific sorts of traffic/activity could be established on a given corner of social media, how dispositive would you find that as to that being inauthentic activity?

But then that's still a description of judicial review as brought on by Marbury v Madison, yes? It's just that the reviewers (and the culture which produced them) changed.

As dead letter, without any means constraining the power of the legislative branch. And frankly, isn't the plain text of the First Amendment as first adopted is counter-majoritarian - what else could the text "Congress shall make no law" ever be?

So you are proposing a model where if Congress chooses to violate the Constitution, only an uprising of the people is a solution? (Yes, I am dismissing Congress stopping itself on its face)

Without it, by what mechanism is "Congress shall make no law" enforced?

Rhymes With Moose 🍁 @rhymeswithmoose.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
That would, in effect, mean that you no longer have a Constitution. Judicial review is a patch on the thing, but a crucially necessary one.

tumblr text post by spiribia: I think it's fine if somebody describes a piece of media as life changing and earth shattering and bone shaking and it doesn't do much for you. I don't think the person who said that owes you an apology or anything. that's just the nature of people being different people

Something like 500k special ballot requests, though, suggests the word is getting out - especially with that being up from 300k a couple weeks ago.

It's actually a pretty reasonable notion on its face, because conscious thought is only part of who we are - and there are a lot of unconscious processes that go into that (and I'd say there's still a lot of mountain to climb in our understanding). Part of the challenge in discussing what a real...

Before this constructed moral panic, there had previously been rules schemes around the participation of trans women in elite sports. The supposed problems never materialized. Taking issue as regards sports requires accepting the false premises the moral panic is constructed upon

Classic case of "thing done with purpose and intent to copied without any notice of either", I think? It mostly works in the Bourne movies because the cuts aren't random - they cut to places where the character has to focus as fast as that has to update, communicating things performance can't.

This appears to be justified based on the facts as reported in the Journal. At the same time, severity of crime can't be the thing that justifies a shoot - or a lot of people will die in cases of mistaken identity.

Do you have any awareness or understanding of what the rules were for trans women in elite sports prior to this whole manufactured panic? Also, what would you expect "imbalance and unfairness" to look like?

It's also an exercise of norms they *lost* in recent memory, so you'd think they'd at least remember that this used to be what was expected of their own politicians.

I think the suggestion that when there are two more chapters to go, things are allowed to not make sense *yet*. That said, there's an extremely obvious reason she did that if you just look at the opening it created in the fight that followed her doing that.

Straight up, that would cause mass starvation in the US. You get 80-some-odd percent of your potash from us; without it crops cannot be effectively fertilized at scale. Genuinely I hope the 25th gets invoked before it starts to approach there, but more would be required to repair the relationship.

It was oddly comforting the time a doctor looked at my chart and said "that's a rare condition you've got, I've never even heard of it before" - sometimes it's good just to have this stuff acknowledged.

An unfortunate, perhaps uncomfortable reality: You cannot have a democratic guardrail against a bad choice, because the freedom to choose is the freedom to choose *poorly*. Nothing good can free you from the need to persuade.

A discretionary budget decision can very easily implicate Charter rights, such as by creating a coercive pressure. The complexity of fixing anything in healthcare why voters across the provinces let themselves be lied to that it's the feds' fault on provincial files is a whole other thing.

Certainly a right to life under Section 7, which becomes obviously implicated by offering assistance with dying but also rendering that the only available option (and equality rights per Section 15) - and that's just on the explicit text, not more inclusive living tree interpretation.

"Optimism" isn't really an accurate characterization of the sentiment here. It took problems piling up for a long time before the Jordan decision came down, far as I understand - and similar time frames here would be horrific.
