I got the time-zone wrong and missed the first hour. Biden seemed fine to me - what the heck did I miss in the first hour?

Since when was this court consistent with prior rulings?

Remember when SCOTUS threw out laws against gays? Then a bunch of states passed constitutional amendments against gay marriage? Then SCOTUS came and said “Na, none of that means anything, gay marriage for all!”

I feel like I am on the other side of that process this time: SCOTUS throws out Roe, bunch of states do constitutional amendments, SCOTUS rules “Na, none of that means anything, all abortions are now illegal!”

Does it lead to the death of all Hamas? If yes, Hamas will not be on board. If no, Israel will not be on board.

Just look at India’s court system (or the US immigration court system). Backlogs as far as the eye can see! Selective enforcement mixed with laws criminalizing everyone means those in charge can pardon or prosecute whomever they want.

That is until AI gets beyond the toddler with no object permanence stage and suddenly the backlog starts disappearing and all the politicians start retroactively legalizing everything.

Sort of makes me want to write that novel I’ve been putting off where a website pops up with a list of social security numbers + date + GPS + criminal statute code, and it turns out to be a list of the biggest crimes committed by each politician. No one knows where the list came from, but as each politician resigns, new sets of numbers pop up for their replacement.

Ah, but Robbin Williams didn’t go on a year later to actually BECOME president.

Ya, who would want a TV personality in charge of a country

Is that a 65% chance of a Trump electoral college or popular vote victory? I think last time it predicted that Hillary would win the popular vote. Then she did.

“Biden can’t be persuaded let alone pressured”

Which sums up both Biden’s strength and all his problems in one statement.

They want liberals dying at a rate higher than conservatives. Ever wonder why people tend to be more conservative when they get older? It is not like aging is changing people’s minds.

Sorry, I could only find this image on reddit

Could we seal Biden in a germ-free bubble a week before the next debate? The last thing you want Biden sounding like is sickly - he had a cold today and COVID last time they debated in 2020.

Meanwhile, North Korea just stated that they will be sending troops to the Donbas

Has Trump been coherent for anything recently? Can they, through whatever means, get him into a coherent state for this?

Zúñiga referenced that paralysis during the rebellion, telling reporters the military was tired of the infighting and was seeking “to restore democracy.”

The infighting between the two parties is what democracy is. One party getting everything it wants and the other nothing is called a dictatorship.

But did he pardon the Navy’s LGBTQ+ ringleader, Dorthy?

Bang-bang control for AI?

Israeli court rules ultra-Orthodox men must be drafted for military service … right before they invade Lebanon.

But he was waiting until June!

Everyone is talking about society or physiology stuff. That is just things that might get humans.

Stars going super-nova is the real great filter. Our sun is 4.6 billion years old. Life started 4 billion years ago. In 4 billion years, the sun goes supernova. We are halfway to the end of the earth.

Smaller stars last longer, but have smaller ranges that life can exist in - and planets tend to move in or out in their orbits. Bigger stars have giant habitable zones - but some large stars born when humans took their first steps are in their last decades of life. You couldn’t get from the pyramids to NASA in that time, never mind the 4 billion years it took to get to humans.
