Just wait till tomorrow. That’s when they’re scheduled to release all the remaining outstanding cases, including

• Birthright citizenship
• Trans discrimination cases
• Campaign finance

i don’t think tomorrow is going to be a good day.

Edit: Welp, 1 for 3. Birthright citizenship was upheld (good), but money now is the only voice in politics and trans people can further be discriminated against.

Yeah the moment I read it, it was less “ewww” and more “huh, I wonder…”

Who’s ready for a settlement and a $5 rebate on your next purchase of RAM?

The idea of the “Great American State Fair” and the fact we were hitting 250, sounded like it’d be a great way to celebrate. I read about some of the original plans and what the Smithsonian was working on and it really felt like a tribute to us, the people.

But now, I’ve had zero desire to celebrate anything that’s been going on, and it’s just felt like a damper on everything. What about the US is there to celebrate? I know people can say “well, acktually, compared to Burma….”, but that’s not the point. I also know we weren’t at the top, but we’ve fallen so far, so quickly.

Yes they meant the board, and no it was not AI generated. I was watching the game, live, on a different feed than this screenshot and the cameraman zoomed in on the sign and the commentators were laughing at it.

Nope. I was watching the game last night and I saw it live.

language used to carry authority

That’s an interesting view, because one way I always looked at it was it became a gating function (in a negative way). Just like the rich raise the barrier to entry, I always thought that there were people who were dismissive of others because you couldn’t speak their language perfectly.

Coupled with the hundreds of unique languages (let alone dialects) it created artificial pockets and barriers of understanding and power.

I do understand some of the cultural nuances of specific languages, but overall having a single common language understood and used by everyone can help unite us globally, rather than keeping us siloed.

Realistically we should be taxing by weight and miles driven as the former causes the most damage to the roads. At that point the propulsion type and efficiency don’t really matter. EVs actually would be taxed more given that they’re heavier, but it’d also proportionately tax trucks and larger vehicles correctly at that point.

You could easily implement it with a yearly odometer reading with your registration or inspection and every car has a GVWR registered with it.

It’s gets better. Even if you find an EV, the states tax you more than an ICE car. Texas has a $200 yearly fee to supposedly make up for lost gas tax revenue. But at 20c/gallon and assuming 30mpg, I’d have to drive 30,000 miles to offset that cost (only drove about 8,500 miles per year).

And now they want to do the same at the Federal level with another $150 tax (federal taxes are 18c/gallon), which would be another 25,000 miles.

So I would be taxed $350/year to offset “gas tax losses”, which would only even out for me if I were to drive 55,000 miles in a year.

It doesn’t matter how bad he gets. Until he’s a drooling mess that can’t say a word or is dead, the GOP will continue to prop him up and use him as a puppet.
