Justice Alito tells Congress he will not recuse from Jan. 6-related cases
  • Dems removed filibuster for all appointment except scotus in 2013 then R’s removed for scotus in 2017. Now republicans could have done it anyway on 2017 even without precedent, and Democrats could have forced merick garland in if they had gone fully nuclear. I’d call it equally shared

  • 12.3 Billion Miles Away: NASA Has Lost Communication With Voyager 2 Spacecraft
  • And even if it was pointed at random human equipment it’s so far away that you need a very special radio and antenna; not just any old satellite is necessarily going to do the trick. I think the signal strength is around -196db iirc so incredibly faint, and The antennas they use to communicate with voyager are massive.

  • Most young people are no longer proud to be Americans, poll finds
  • Idk Still sounds to me like this is mostly a clever way to denigrate and dismiss people who aren’t doing things the “right” way.

    And I also don’t buy that patriotic duty is the only motivation to work on improving things

  • Most young people are no longer proud to be Americans, poll finds
  • I know that’s the argument but Framing it as ‘the new folks on the block don’t want to build bridges’ isn’t a very good way to build bridges.

    Basically I think this whole analysis is a lazy way to dismiss the new left. Not that they’re perfect or anything, but I think there is an equal responsibility for both groups to work together.

  • Most young people are no longer proud to be Americans, poll finds
  • With identity politics, it seems even worsened that the new left cares about ideological purity and sin which prevents coalition type movements.

    This critique is pervasive and has always rung hollow to me when trying to navigate this divide. The onus is also on the old left to build bridges imho
