Extremely normal and fine for a company to put this in a public statement
Screenshotted excerpt from linked article reading as follows: "In public, Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. has cultivated a reputation for care and caution. The papers reveal a different side of him. At a critical moment for the country and the court, the papers show, he acted as a bulldozer in pushing to stop Mr. Obama’s plan to address the global climate crisis. When colleagues warned the chief justice that he was proposing an unprecedented move, he was dismissive. “I recognize that the posture of this stay request is not typical,” he wrote. But he argued that the Obama plan, which aimed to regulate coal-fired plants, was “the most expensive regulation ever imposed on the power sector,” and too big, costly and consequential for the court not to act immediately."
OOP
New York Times got receipts on John Roberts being like, 'I know this isn't how anything works, but a Democratic president is about to implement a policy!!'

Wow happy birthday Mencius!
1. In a landmark ruling, the Montana Supreme Court has declared that the constitution, one of the most progressive in the nation, entirely protects transgender people.
The ruling is even insulated from SCOTUS decisions, due to how state constitutions work.

It's fine if Bsky crashes. Tbh it'd be fine if the dopamine slot machine of social media wasn't always available. "Go do something else, David" You're right, Bluesky Forbidden Header. You're right. I didn't really wanna waste time here, I just gave into a brief dopamine pull. Good call

Happy Tax Day!

I've never played Spyro, I never even owned a PS1, but hell yeah I'll watch an hour & 15 minute documentary about the history of Spyro spreedrunning by Summoning Salt. Of course. This is gonna be a great breakfast
My god. Essential, horrifying reporting here.
Zionism makes Jews less safe! Like with all extreme ethnonationalisms, the individual is suborned, the people's fears are used against them, etc. And I'm not even in the in-group Netanyahu cares about. He's not an international protector of Jews, he's a politician who's in it for himself & his state
To stoke the lie that Jews control the US government in a time of rising antisemitism is horrible, but Netanyahu doesn't mind making us less safe. When Jews here are scared, maybe more of them will move/donate to Israel; when Jews in Israel are scared, he can prey on their fear to keep power longer
‘I wished for death’: Sexual violence in Israel’s prisons is an ‘organised state policy’ Palestinian testimonies reveal how sexual violence, including rape using objects and dogs, is approved by 'highest levels' of Israeli leadership
The testimony here about sexual violence by Israel against Palestinian prisoners is so beyond the pale everyone must see it.
It is so bad I can’t in good conscience share a quote other than the headline, which somehow manages to understate the horror within.

Anti-Zionism is rising as a response to what Israel is doing. It will simply not be possible to treat it as a marginal viewpoint that can be shamed or shunned into invisibility. Yes, antisemitism often cloaks itself in anti-Zionism. So don't do the antisemites' work for them. If you keep telling people that if they oppose the Jewish state then they must hate the Jewish people, eventually, they will believe you.
I don’t often find myself agreeing with Ezra Klein, but this is completely correct — and frankly, shows some guts for a mainstream liberal columnist to say. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/12/o...
A series of posts from journalist Mark Chadbourn reporting on the acceptance speech of Péter Magyar after Hungarian elections: Péter Magyar: "Our country wants to live again. It wants to be a European country again." Mark Chadbourn• @chadbourn.bsky.social • 24m Magyar's speech is powered. From a contact in the audience: "He's basically just asked all the puppets, all the supreme justices, all the heads of media, all the heads of the ministries to leave their jobs tomorrow and not wait to be fired." •.. Mark Chadbourn• @chadbourn.bsky.social • 22m He's announced that Hungary will join the European Prosecution Office so anyone in the country can be charged. Mark Chadbourn• @chadbourn.bsky.social • 21m Magyar: "No mercy, they will need to take responsibility for all their actions." ... Mark Chadbourn• @chadbourn.bsky.social • 20m Magyar says he's starting work with the EU and NATO immediately. "The EU doesn't have to worry anymore."
From new Hungarian Prime Minister Péter Magyar's acceptance speech tonight. This is the absolute BARE MINIMUM platform for any Democrat running for President in 2028.
[deep breath] the project of defining discrimination as acknowledging differences between groups is a long term, conservative project fully embraced by the reactionary court and intended to make it so selecting for merit rather than inherited privilege is illegal
A picture of Molly Crabapple's Here Where We Live Is Our Country next to the cute little bookmark I printed recently that says ULTRADAVID in block letters & has a lil mini leverless fighting game controller on top, both on the seat of an LA Metro bus
On the bus to another canvass for @hugoforcd13.bsky.social & super excited to start reading @mollycrabapple.bsky.social's Here Where We Live Is Our Country on the way! A big reason I started learning Yiddish was to read more of the Bundists in their own words. I'm stoked to learn more in English too
More villages in South Lebanon being detonated by Israel.
Israel is the one sharing these videos. They are proud of their war crimes.

Undiluted white supremacy is currently the governing logic of US refugee policy.
Lina Khan helped Joe Biden set this up, but he never pushed it hard to take credit for it.
Now, with Khan working for Mamdani, he's doing it for NYC residents. And actually telling them he's doing it.
Good policies aren't good politics unless you take credit constantly for them.
ICE agents shot another driver -- on Tues.
He had just asked to call his wife.
They shot him six times. One bullet his jaw.
Now he can't speak and has been mostly unconscious.

Absolutely, and yeah many of us said so at the time. But for Joe Biden & Kamala Harris and Gavin Newsom, Karen Bass, and too many state & local Dem leaders like them all over the country, supporting genocide in Gaza & stifling opposition to it here were more important than winning the election
sf6 honda's command run should have a command grab followup to go along with slaps & launcher. i wanna mix someone up by making them guess grab so that they jump but instead i do unsafe raw launcher into 6k damage for the kill. that would be very funny. ok intrusive thought extracted back to work
