said that they didn’t even start debate prep until 11 am each day at Camp David

Do we know what he was doing before 11am? He has other duties besides preparing for the debate. While probably his most important immediate task, he still needs to take briefings on things like the wars in Ukraine and Gaza, the consequences of recent SCOTUS decisions, and the dumbass shit that Trump said.

I agree that this doesn't make me feel better about him, but I don't think that starting debate prep at 11am and taking an afternoon nap means that Biden was slacking off. It may just mean that he's got other things to worry about.

I wonder, if someone were to write some good novels about the Anunnaki, could they get this nutjob crowd at the same time as pulling in a good sci-fi audience? Seems like a reasonable way to try starting the next thing like Scientology.

I don't think they really query one another. Maybe they do though?

I wonder how undergrads would do on the same exams given unlimited time and internet access but with LLMs blocked. That's essentially what the LLMs have.

I don't usually use much profanity but this is a fucking travesty and the six conservative justices are traitors to the American people. They should all be impeached for blatant corruption and for being bought and paid-for by industry interests. They're not even going to be embarrassed about their scientific mistake except that they got caught out on not understanding what they're ruling on. They know they aren't the experts in everything. They just want corporations to have free reign and for them to be able to trample the rights of citizens.

This is going to allow the courts to rapidly unwind decades of progress that has been made on some of the most important subjects including environmental regulations, workplace regulations and employee rights, antitrust law, and anticorruption law to name a few. Between this and the Jarkesy decision we're going to go back to the days of burning eyes in Los Angeles and Lake Erie on fire, deadly workplaces and no employee right to organize, anticompetitive corporate practices with no oversight, and rampant corporate fraud. There is no longer a reasonable enforcement mechanism due to Jarkesy and there is now no real rule-making authority.

As I said before, all six conservative justices should be impeached for blatant corruption and working against the best interests of the American people. I'd settle for impeaching Alito and Thomas, but they should all be impeached. They are traitors to the American people.

Does anyone know where I can find a time line of this case? I'm really curious how it took four years to litigate something this egregious. Four years to reach a settlement, not even a litigate court ruling.

I don't think the person you were replying to was cheering for killing Russian civilians. I think they were cheering for killing Russian troops and that it would make Russian civilians understand the horrors of war.

That said, given what Russia has done to Ukraine, I think I would root for some destruction inside Russia. Russia has been pretty indescriminate. Maybe if Russia sees what that is like they will want to back off the war.

Even if Ukraine does start bombing inside Russia, it's COMPLETELY different from the indescriminate destruction and killing in Gaza. They are on different scales. Israel is committing an intentional genocide. Ukraine is fighting to survive. Israel is killing everyone, women and children included. Ukraine is, so far, largely confined to killing Russian troops.

Perfect image!

Just practicing my Japanese. A good translation for this would be "Please do not leave your trash here".

Well, DeSantis has been waging war on the mouse for a while, though he does seem to be backing down some.

America haters

These people also like to say that Democrats and progressives hate America.

Does anyone know how I can get this game to appear in either the NYT Games or the normal NYT app?

How does the archive.org exemption work? When is it voted on next?

Thank you for pointing this out. I wasn't aware of this movement. It seems like a great idea!

Great photo! I always love these guys. The goth versions of Blue Jays!

I don't want to be pedantic but it's "Steller's Jay".

The bird is named after the German naturalist Georg Wilhelm Steller, the first European to record them, in 1741. source

Do you have a source for the statement that he failed multiple times?

Do you have a source that shows that he failed multiple times?

I wonder how many do-overs the rest of us would get after blatantly lying on security clearance applications.

Zero. The answer is zero. When you fill out the form for your security clearance application you are told to retain a copy and use it when completing your renewals because even minor differences between applications will raise questions. Dot correct previous mistakes, let them ride since they passed scrutiny before.

Being caught in an outright lie would be immediately disqualifying for anyone except, apparently, Kushner.

Now all ‘profit’ goes directly into the community coffer.

Only after reparations have been made to everyone impacted. I'm sure there were more than eight families who were impacted by Chiquita funding terrorists for eight years and I doubt their abuses were actually limited to those eight years.

I think it says something that one of the books they were trying to ban was Called Themselves the K.K.K: The Birth of an American Terrorist Group by Susan Campbell Bartoletti.

The primary opinion is only 27 pages. The rest is a three page concurrence a 46 page dissent by Duncan.

Oh, I agree with you. I was just answering why many college kids disliked the twin xl mattresses. That doesn't mean they should quit using them in dorms.
