Found on martiniden666's Tumblr - thought this was a drawing but the caption says it's a photo from 1953 titled Cat in the Snow from photographer Hannes Kilian.

I'm going to keep saying this in my effort to speak it into reality: Supreme Court should have at least 100 Justices with rotating panels (and maybe an en banc option). No single Justice should have so much power and they shouldn't be names everyone knows.
A court with a normal-ish conservative majority would have been tolerable. I'm not eager for court packing, impeaching justices, and other such options. But this court sticking around post-Trump is untenable. They've already torched their own legitimacy, the only question is what do we do about it.
Democrats need to lay the groundwork for reform by attacking the villains on the Supreme Court - loudly, angrily, personally, relentlessly. And they should start now.

This is what I thought too.
If the first boat is a legit target, and you're picking up evidence of comms with a second that's close enough to rescue them, then the second would be a legit target too.
Of course, neither are legit targets.

Ok, let’s suppose these two survivors are actually drug dealers.
And they’re calling a new boat to come pick up them and the floating cocaine.
Why wouldn’t you wait til the second boat arrives and kill those bad guys, too?

The TN-7 special election showed a similar blue shift to the November elections, which means there are a couple dozen incumbent Republicans currently freaking out today.

A lawsuit previously alleged that David Gentile—just pardoned by Trump— was an associate of Russian organized crime figure and oligarch Michael Cherney.
A business news outlet found that Cherney’s daughters benefited from some of Gentile’s earliest dealings.

As someone who works on the interaction layer of software: it's this.
Stupid trends in hardware self correct after a generation or two, but *software* ratchets in the direction of unusable because designers are occupied with interaction patterns and not whether the fucking thing works properly.

i think it's useful to look at areas where the *tech* has gotten much better while tech *interactions* have gotten way worse. streaming has gotten worse, google search has gotten worse, digital cameras are leaps better. apple's silicone is so good it's threatening their user upgrade cycle
it’s so weird to look around and realize like, tech and media are materially worse than a decade ago

Agree, two thumbs up for this guy. He changed my life completely when he open-sourced Snoober.
he’s the creator of Flask. he’s literally the creator of Django. you dipshits he invented Zoop. better watch how you talk to the actual inventor of Peebo
Wow 80% bad-faith responses, and people lecturing the creator of Flask here and the creator of Django/datasette in the comments on why AI is useless for software engineering...

Serious question. How often are older Presidents given cognitive tests. From media reports it sounds like current POTUS has gotten multiple.
