Pretty wild to see Alito describe reliance on Obergefell as "much more concrete" than reliance on Roe v. Wade, because Roe was merely about "women's ideas about the kind of society that they were going to live in." If it's a Ladies Issue, he just doesn't give a shit. www.cbsnews.com/news/samuel-...

"One of the important factors we take into account in deciding whether we should reexamine a past decision is the degree to which there has been reliance on the decision," he said. "Obviously a great deal had changed in the country as a result of Obergefell. There was a lot of reliance in various ways on the decision in Obergefell." I pointed out that people thought Roe v. Wade was settled law of the land, had organized their lives around it. Overturning Roe also would have consequences. Obergefell, he said, was different. "After Obergefell, people of the same sex got married and entered into contracts … it was much more concrete," he said. "Whereas with Roe, the argument was made that it had an effect on people's ideas, women's ideas about the kind of society that they were going to live in, that this would have an effect on the society. It was much more abstract than what would've been involved had we been asked to overrule Obergefell."

Look I'm not a Christian but if someone told me they'd died and met a being, wreathed in fire, consumed by vanity, that claimed to be God and told them to return to Earth to spread division among their fellow mortals, I'd say "yeah man that was the devil."

GPS is probably the single clearest parallel to what AI is doing to human knowledge now. Before GPS, you would memorize routes (as well as an ability to improvise when needed), which allowed you to drive intuitively most of the time. Driving was sort of fun and definitely easier as a result.

What was driving like before GPS? Did you just wing it? Did you only go places you knew how to get to? Were you just better at remembering steps to get somewhere?

You know you're on the right path when your spiritual leaders go looking for translations to butcher that run counter to hundreds of years of spiritual practice. Definitely on the road to heaven, these guys.

So when Jesus says “blessed are the meek” he doesn’t mean the downtrodden or the gentle. He’s talking about a dynamo of manly/equine energy, restrained only to be harnessed for WAR, baby! Jordan Peterson seems to have popularized this one.

It’s not just one billionaire. It’s a full-blown cult of billionaires who believe dictatorship should replace democracy—and that technology (crypto and AI) will make this inevitable. They say it loud. Some guy just wrote a book about it (That guy is me!) www.simonandschuster.com/books/The-Ne...

So, this very sympathetic piece where the subject is “a lifelong Democrat who had voted for Trump for the first time in 2024”. 5 minutes of checking his facebook shows pro Trump posts as far back as 2019, and a post saying that he “stands with Trump” posted just a couple of days after Trumps coup.

A Haitian man legally immigrated to Ohio, then was given an ankle monitor bc Trump withdrew his status. He threw himself in front of truck. The trucker, who voted for Trump, is haunted. “Pierre was doing what he was supposed to do. We did not do right by him.” www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

It’s hard to think this would have happened without years of electoral success and center-right accommodation, which have normalized these views to the point that they become just another legitimate policy proposal. 2/2

It's fascinating to learn how many more kids die in ATV accidents every year than in e-bike accidents, then observing that there is a moral panic about kids riding e-bikes but not about kids riding ATVs.

more and more, as artists of all stripes are forced to become their own content creation/marketing machine to promote their art in addition to making it, I feel like Enya is the most famous musician who got it 100% right. we know nothing about her and it's great. just minding her own b in a castle

feels like at least part of what is happening is that a lot of people want politics to solve the "my life feels empty" problem and the populist right is directly appealing to them
