Didn't I recently read a whiny 74-million-word article in The Atlantic about how the intolerant left mistreated this nice reasonable Republican senator?

This NYT article exists to launder right-wing propagandist Chris Rufo’s bad faith attacks on Katherine Maher into news—without sufficient context for readers who don’t already know how Rufo operates to understand what’s happening. It’s an insane way to run a paper. www.nytimes.com/2024/04/15/b... 🎁

Not only is Smirnov's name cartoon Russian, but "smear" is right in there. Honestly, I expect more subtlety from our simulation.

Alabama law: "Human life cannot be wrongfully destroyed without incurring the wrath of a holy God, who views the destruction of His image as an affront to Himself."

You may have seen that the Alabama Supreme Court ruled that frozen embryos are unborn children and a valid wrongful death action can be based on their destruction—apparently making IVF impracticable in Alabama. publicportal-api.alappeals.gov/courts/68f02...

There's this wild Lovecraftian horror to a grown adult talking about how great it'll be when AI can make full-length movies and books based on a few prompts, because you suddenly realize they've only ever seen shadows dancing on the cave wall for their whole life. Nothing has meant anything to them.

According to the website, the Disability office began their medical review of my appeal on September 28th, which was just short of four months ago.
Got my first new form to fill out LAST WEEK.

Which is exactly why the Republicans are doing this: it's not about the border, specifically, it's a test of how far they can go before "the mainstream" acknowledges they're off the rails. How much will the civility paradigm allow them to get away with.

They're hoping that if they don't shine attention on it, it will go away. They're also afraid of losing conservative advertising dollars and clicks.

My favorite quote was when asked if she’d advise Trump on what to say, Habba indignantly replied nobody tells him what to say. Like, lady, you’re his lawyer in a defamation case, it’s literally your job to tell him what to say.

I've been messing with the site and they never set any limits on how many characters you can put in each field and the form does appear to go through with any number of characters. Do with that what you will, but let's just say I've been doing my part.
