Am I allowed to curse at a clerk of court if they have been dead for a century? Because the one who drafted this grantor-grantee index couldn't remember the order of the fucking alphabet.

Sometimes I wonder how we elected Trump. And then I watch fully grown adults act confused and angry when they can't enter a store while its fire alarms are blaring.

Gorsuch, J., with the opinion of the Court. The president's statement that there is a "ban on the free press," is not an admission against interest because the president does not speak for the Office of the President.

““We keep the White House inside in order,” a member of the association’s board said. “I don’t think it has anything to do with the outside.” Well then, it’s a good thing what’s inside of the White House doesn’t depend on stuff like whether an entire wing gets demolished.

Admins making pro-AI shitposts mocking people who dislike AI the same day that Bluesky rolls out the "mean QTs of AI posts will result in suspensions" seems like a bad PR move, personally.

That would be former president Graham Spanier, who was convicted for his role in the scandal. He admitted to working for the CIA while serving as the school's president. He was with the agency since 1995. Which means he failed to stop both Jerry Sandusky AND 9/11 www.foiaball.com/p/penn-state...

so according to the CDC, *foodborne illness* is responsible for about 930 deaths a year. "food-induced illness" is a made up term RFK is using for basically every cause of mortality minus suicide.
