Saying he'd be cool with Iran nuking my home city is pretty bad but not quite as bad as when Hillary said some trump supporters were deplorable so I can see why the media turned the latter into a major scandal and not the former

the worst thing you can do is to base your values on what you think the public wants, the second-worst thing you can do is convince yourself that the public really shares your values and is being betrayed. People are simply not consistent enough or knowledgeable enough en masse to say this.

I never looked into what the Gospels actually say about the chronology though.

I once asked an Episcopalian priest about that. His answer was that, while Palm Sunday commemorates Jesus' arrival in Jerusalem, and Easter commemorates the resurrection, the Gospels do not say that those two events occurred one week apart. IOW Palm Sunday is not a "bazman hazeh" holiday.

Pete is lost in terms of modern war. I use the example of this outgunned Ukrainian army officer who successfully terrorized a Russian unit for weeks because she "did the math." At the time, someone commented, "yeah, in combat, 'I did the math' beats 'I can do 100 pushups' every time."

Ukrainian female soldier: Okay, I said the idea is this: There is enough time to empty one full can of 32 grenades and be gone by the time the return mortar fire reaches us. I did the math.

I was about to point out that ~10 jobs/week is an absurdly low for an unemployed person today, and will probably never get them a job... And I realized that's because of the AI agents applying to thousands of jobs.

I. INTRODUCTION

Notwithstanding the gravity of American sovereignty, the people
of American Samoa have maintained a traditional and distinctive way
of life: the fa’a Samoa.1 This resiliency reflects that American Samoa is
in many ways the most unique of the five unincorporated territories of
the United States.2 It is the most distant from the mainland, the least
populous, the only one not governed under an organic act passed by
the U.S. Congress,3 and home to the only Americans who do not
automatically attain U.S. citizenship upon birth.4

Unlike the residents of the other U.S. territories, American
Samoans are classified by statute as “U.S. nationals.”5 Several plaintiffs have sued to challenge that arrangement in recent years, arguing for

the automatic extension of birthright citizenship via the Citizenship Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, but they have been consistently opposed by their own local American Samoa Government (ASG) as well as successive U.S. administrations.6 These respondents argue that judicial imposition of U.S. citizenship would not only be against the popular will of the majority of American Samoans, but would also constitute the tip of a slippery slope that would open the floodgates to hegemonic imposition of other mainland constitutional norms by distant federal judges, thereby upending the territory’s traditional way of life.7 They worry in particular that the local Native Lands Ordinance, which restricts the sale of land to outsiders, would face enhanced scrutiny under the Fourteenth Amendment’s Equal Protection Clause; that the territory’s matai (chieftain) only senate would run afoul of Article I’s prohibition on titles of nobility; and that the official observation of Sa (a daily period of prayer) would violate the First Amendment’s Establishment Clause.8

Important: the USPS rule that SCOTUS blocked tonight was Trump’s big plan to control and restrict mail voting. But a separate policy remains in place: USPS is no longer postmarking mail as soon it gets it, which is hugely important for deadlines. So people must mail back with plenty of time.

In an Intense Election Year, New Post Office Rules Could Trip Up Voter Registration - Bolts

A change in how mail is postmarked could lead some voters to miss key deadlines, including voter registration. Advocates worry the people most affected will be those already facing voting barriers.
