It's all about controlling your bodily autonomy - all the way down.

This is not good news. If you're going to ban a product, ban it for everyone. This is just nanny-state fascism masquerading as public health concern.

😳😵‍💫

Some impressive cognitive dissonance here. If you told me this was meant to be a sarcastic takedown of the moderate position I probably wouldn't question it. "Sure, the 'just asking questions' crowd is openly exterminationist and not interested in compromise or dialogue but why must we reject them?"

It's also quite notable that it's 3 of them. The 3 that came from Twitter when Jack spun the team off of Twitter and gave them the initial seed funding.

The key phrase—“an establishment of religion”—was readily understandable to founding-era citizens. See District of Columbia v. Heller, 554 U.S. 570, 576–77 (2008) (relying on a phrase’s “[n]ormal meaning . . . known to ordinary citizens in the founding generation”). The reason is simple. At the time, establishments were “a familiar institution.” McConnell, Establishment, supra note 12, at 2107.13 Someone on the streets of 1789 Boston, reading that phrase, would have instantly thought of the Church of England, the colonial established churches, or the current state establishments—in other words, a polity’s official church or religion. Ibid.

Although the colonial establishments became more tolerant of dissenters as independence approached, their essence remained unchanged. The original state constitutions reflect as much. Far from rejecting establishments, many states preserved the core components of their establishments, such as public financial support for the official church, regulation of religious institutions, and religious qualifications for civic participation.36 Most explicit was South Carolina, whose 1778 Constitution declared that “the Christian Protestant religion” was “the established religion,” requiring religious societies to subscribe to enumerated articles of faith to receive legal recognition. S.C. Const. of 1778, art. XXXVIII, reprinted in Poore, State Constitutions, supra note 36, at 1626.

The Fifth Circuit flatly states that when the First Amendment says Congress may not create an "establishment of religion," it means the Church of England. They then argue the Founders intended states to have their own churches unaffected by the First Amendment (!!!).

The Fifth Circuit needs to be destroyed utterly.

this dead guy is Finally-At-Peace-Mogging me

to quote myself: "fascists are constitutionally unable to win wars due to their inability to rationally evaluate themselves or their enemies" a quote by me, Dragon Cobolt, in 2026, said by no one else ever

this is an incredibly sketchy story and so far all the people involved in breaking / spreading it are deeply unreliable sources

This is almost certainly 100% bullshit. This isn’t how “nuclear codes” work. Shit is bad enough without spreading fud designed to make people even more afraid.

Usually even having to brute force the model into doing what they want when it does object

Worth noting how many organizations like SPLC neutered themselves and the work that they do, trying to avoid this very moment. Especially since Trump won again. But MAGA was always going to come for them. And eventually, we'll all be targets. No matter how much we tried to remain nonpartisan, etc.

As Alex Jones reaps what he has sowed, we dig into his history as a liar, where he goes now that Trump and MAGA hates him, and how the modern snake oil salesman still gets views.

I've been saying this about MOST of the opposition I've seen to Polanski. It's like someone's trying to start some Churlish And Ignorant Society, driving people into the arms of the Greens as they try to escape its clutches.

Perhaps they're all working for us. 🤗 Clever move if so. Otherwise...

I still can't believe this is fucking real, lmao

To me, Ghibli works are about showing us that the world is beautiful and there is much to love *even with* the darkness that people are forced to confront in it, and I feel like there's a lot of media that wants to use those aesthetics but avoid the substance of the work.

This is why the misuse of the term Ghibli-esque makes my eye twitch.

The aesthetics are soft and beautiful, yes. Themes often include such low-stakes conflicts as fighting fascism, the destruction of the environment and battling the depths of depression.

No longer vaccinating your soldiers against a virus that kills through dehydration while considering sending ground troops into a county that's mostly desert. Masterful gambit.

WELL NOW, would you look at that?

A hundred years ago, the U.S. had a nationwide network of short-line railroads that connected most urban and rural communities. By the 1940s, most of it had been dismantled ... by the barons of the auto and oil industries. 😑
