The MAGA #SCOTUS is "happy to completely disregard the express, codified will of Congress, allowing their preferred president to neutralize agencies’ regulatory functions by firing people willy-nilly" but when the President is a Dem "use the major questions doctrine to strike their actions down."
During today's oral argument, the Trump admin and the Court’s conservatives treated agencies as some kind of headless, out-of-control fourth branch of government, accountable to no one

More dudes should aspire to be MacGyver. Or at least a Riker. “Masculinity” today is like if they put Revenge of the Nerds and the bullies in the Cronenberg Fly machine with a 40-gallon vat of protein powder.
I'm re-watching Magnum P.I. and I can't believe how vastly superior the 1980s ideal of masculinity is, vs today's whining, lying misogynist edgelord ideal that we see in culture all the way up to the Presidency.
The 50's stereotypical man had at least some other things to offer. Typically noble or stoic. Perhaps serving the greater good. Instead it's now a bunch of energy drink selfish neurotics who spend too much time at the gym and have no developed personality at all but being online.
