If I were my 7 year old, I’d object to bedtime on the grounds that Congress hasn’t passed any enabling legislation.

This is so dumb. Analogous to allowing cheating in sports because sometimes refs miss calls by accident.

And you think the greatest QB of all time is a guy who finished 16th in passer rating in the prime of his career, behind Derek Carr and Russell Wilson? www.pro-football-reference.com/years/2024/p...

If it’s a dispute over territory you can just use a Great General to make a citadel and take over the adjacent tiles.

Does this mean they denied cert in all the other cases they considered at today’s conference? I’m interested in one of the cases that isn’t one of the 3 in that order.

Not sure if it was intentional, but Game of Thrones as an allegory about ignoring the existential threat of climate change is perfect. Relatedly, the mayor in Jaws who ignored his experts & resisted closing the beaches for commercial reasons was a timely character during the Covid pandemic.

Oral arguments are scheduled for January 10 but the law requires TikTok to change its ownership by January 19th, doesn’t it? SCOTUS can’t write a historic 1st Amendment opinion in that time frame, can they?

Authoritarians like Putin & Assad have shown that they don’t care about soldier casualties; perhaps lawful assassinations will get their attention, not only as justice for war victims but as a deterrent for future wars. Also, comparing this to Saudi Arabia’s killing of Khashoggi is absurd.

This might be a dumb question, but could HTS embrace democracy if the West engages with them to rebuild Syria? A majority of Syrians are Sunni Muslims but I’d assume that nearly all Syrians are grateful to HTS for deposing Assad.

Digital platforms like TikTok are qualitatively different than newspapers due to their addictive properties, their young user base, and their risk for user harm (e.g., ADHD, suicide, etc.). Countries designated as foreign adversaries shouldn’t be entrusted to operate such platforms IMO.

I took a screenshot yesterday of @cnn.com around 11:00 am ET and there were zero stories about Syria anywhere on the main page. Same thing with the websites of all the major cable and network news channels. Disgraceful!

That’s besides the point, because rationing healthcare in a system administered by the government is qualitatively different than profit-driven health insurance. The former would be morally acceptable.

Great questions from @mehdirhasan.bsky.social, but why did he book a guest who endorses Russia’s pretext for the invasion (“NATO made them do it!”) and denies that Russia’s intentions are genocidal? Putin himself explained that it’s an imperial conquest. Something’s off about the Quincy Institute.

I will say with strong certainty that the “escalation” of removing arbitrary restrictions on Ukraine’s ability to defend itself was the right move. Better late than never.
