Pro Publica? Any chance you could look into the finances of SCOTUS and other judges to see how many of them are taking actual cash from special interests like Big Oil? Or stocks? Or is it just special all expenses paid trips and RVs and other stuff? Or is all of that a gratuity now?

Personal: three years ago when Dobbs decision came down, I was in a crowd of people protesting and speaking. The youngs in the crowd were very interested in raising awareness of and defeating climate change, circulating petitions and so forth. So when it was my turn to speak, I asked them to register to vote and keep it current, because without the vote, they don't have a voice. I wonder how many of them are paying attention to vote suppression, rigged elections, and preventing college students, the elderly, and females from having as easy a time having their votes count as others who don't have such impediments thrown in their path.
Paying attention matters. Voting matters. And we must get these criminally corrupt chuds out of positions of power!
Methinks us younger (male) Boomers missed an opportunity to start a really successful business, based on years and decades of how knowing hot it works.
"China has millions of single men - could dating camp help them find love?
The film The Dating Game explores how a dating coach tries to help China's single men find love."
First things at my Camp Find Love. 1) Hygiene, and lay off the Old Spice already. 2) Manners. Will require two classes. 3) Love yourself, but don't go overboard. 4) Respect to the intended, as in fucking listen. 5) Fashion, nothing too flashy, though. 6) Achieve "cool." That's a hard one, but doable. 7) This is important. STOP looking for love. Instead, just hang out in the right places, looking cool and aloof (but not too aloof), and love MIGHT just find YOU. Patience, young grasshopper.
These might seem to be complicated rules, but many of us major dudes have it down. And I'm out of the game, but all that training, but I still can't help flirting, even unconsciously. The other tips I could impart will cost you extra, though. OK, one free-be: Wear a wedding ring. A psychologist or sociologist will tell you why that can work. It's basically an advertisement to other women that another woman found you all that, and thus on the menu. When confronted, you just say she passed away from some disease and you can't let it go, thus you amping up the sympathy factor: They now must save you.
That'll be 5 million Yen.
Disclaimer: have no idea what passes as "cool" in China.
Ketanji Jackson also brought the receipts citing cases where people who were not important corporations had their cases dismissed with far higher levels of proof. Some website (Slate?, Salon? idk it has been disappeared), showed her wearing a cowry shell collar over her robes paired with dangly cowry earrings which is fantastic. I admire her bravery and spice. Usually junior justices wait a few years to stir up good trouble.
Lawyers need to stay the hell out of Doctor's offices. Medical decisions are not in their wheelhouse. What's next? Can't get cancer treatment because it goes against "God's Will"? At 74. I'm already running into this. I'm told that colonoscopies and prostate exams are no longer necessary because I'm more likely to die of something else before either form of cancer will kill me, Really?? WTF??
I am 76 and have been refusing tests for decades; colon, prostate, lung x-rays, and more, I think. I am not going to subject myself to endless prodding and poking and blood-letting just to find there's something that is going to kill me, in future. Well, of course, those things do exist and could kill me someday. *Something* is going to kill me, eventually.
You men -- don't listen to that rubbish from your insurance companies about no prostrate exams. My man is 65 and thank goddess he had a PSA blood test, because he had an extremely aggressive form of prostrate cancer and his prostrate was removed and so far so good, but if he hadn't had the test, i hate to think. Many men have very mild forms of it, but not all! The insurance companies just want to save money. Joe Biden didn't have a PSA for 10 years, now look what happened to him.
I agree and am demanding these diagnostics if I have to pay out of pocket Insurance companies are stupid. The simple diagnostics are far less expensive than treating the disease Hope all continues well for your man.
I've known the GOP doesn't care if we die since Obama won, especially once an R congresscritter started shouting at to us to die during a State of The Union address. This was common knowledge then if you were paying attention and/or had any fucks to give at all. Nothing's changed, they've simply become much more open and adamant that anyone not rich should die right now. I can't believe this has to be re-broadcast like breaking news when it's a fact that's older than both Gens Z and Alpha.
This is a tough one. I have more than a few misgivings about minors making life altering decisions like this. However, this is more of a medical issue than a legal issue. Just like abortion, it should be left to doctors not lawyers or worse, politicians, to decide. NO medically sanctioned course of treatment should be "illegal" for anyone.
Lawyers and politicians don't belong with you in your doctor's office full stop, The End. The party of small government sure is expanding their reach in that particular direction, but everything they claim to be against they're actually for if they can use it to hurt and control others, which is the bedrock foundation of most of their hypocrisy.
More things that affect people's beliefs and feelings about those beliefs, but do no actual harm to them. In that case, stay the fuck out of other people's business.
" not just people, my friend, but the most beloved of all people, how dare you."

🤮
Honestly, speaking of the Cali decision on the Clean Air act, the right wing has given Cali the exact methodology to get what they want.
Pass a law.
Enforce said law.
Fight it through the court system.
When the inevitable right wing court decides against them, pass a NEW law. Contains 3 different sentences.
Enforce said new law.
Repeat ... forever.
The right wing created this monster. times for the left wing to use it against them.

"First decide, then rationalize." Scalia taught them well.
Ta, Dok. How I wish we could impeach the majority.

"Die, for the economy" is the new mantra of the GOP. It became obvious during COVID, and it's only gotten more blatant since.
That, honestly, needs to be the DEM slogan in the next election .. and every election for the next 10 years.
"The GOP doesn't care if you die!" ... backed up by notes about all their decisions in that direction.
THAT is the soundbite they are looking for.

VD Vance called who, what?
He called, but nobody answered.
The couch pretended it was not at home when he rang the doorbell
The courts being dickish like this just throws everything into such disarray.

Semicolonic irrigation can be helpful to clear up writing.
I think; this is a stupid conversation. /s
Many business majors can’t discern the difference between ‘your, you’re & yore.’ Let’s go for more lazy fucks.
The New Yorker will insist on its use.
Oh, no! I use them nearly every day.
I think maybe they developed a reputation, rightly or wrongly, for overcomplicating things.
They're like pennies; eventually they'll stop being used by polite society but some will still remain in circulation.
