From his Wikipedia page:

Gaetz was one of two members to vote against a Florida bill criminalizing revenge porn, in 2015, after having successfully blocked the bill previously.

Sounds about right.

So what do these dumb fucks expect to do when the case gets handed over to the jury? Stage their own little “Brooks Brothers Riot” in the courtroom in the hope that the jurors won’t be able to reach a verdict?

This piece by @cathyyoung63.bsky.social cuts to core failure of the new heterodox movement — as rightwing fascism ascends around the globe, they remain laser-focused on the alleged illiberalness of mostly powerless factions like trans rights and racial justice activists.

What are Chinese electric vehicles like to drive?

Joe Biden this week quadrupled tariffs on Chinese made EVs, largely keeping them out of the US market. But around the world, consumers are driving them and loving them. In Australia, for instance, they have taken the market by storm. The World’s Sarah Birnbaum reports on the car that Americans can’t drive.

The smearing of Garrett Foster

In light of the pardon of Daniel Perry, it’s worth revisiting the case in full detail.

I realize I’m very focused these days and thus quite repetitive, but I don’t think there’s a more important beat than all the various ways conservatives with institutional power keep expressing that the standard for lethal force is bifurcated between types and that they hold the exclusive right to discern who is guilty enough to merit death,and who matters so little the can be killed without consequences.

Because all…all…of their “policy” and arguments at this point are about how the law must be made to fit their distinctions about who matters and who doesn’t.

re: #137 wrenchwench

I object not to the poor taste, but to the public demonstration of concurrence with the ‘stop the steal’ people.

To pile on the post from the previous thread, posting a “Fuck Biden” sign would be poor taste. This is far worse. The concurrence with the ‘stop the steal’ shows disgraceful contempt for the US judicial system, given the dozens of court cases proving that there was no “steal”. The wives of a Supreme Court justices showing this contempt is shocking.

re: #14 Love-Child of Cassandra and Sisyphus

It’s a rather superficial report on Chinese companies’ EVs, but drives home the point that the world (especially China) is moving on without us.

Trump, as I keep repeating, is as much a symptom as the problem.

American society is in apoplexy because so many Americans have stubbornly refused to move into the 21st century in their thinking.

Every year that goes by will drive this problem home.

Our wealth, and overwhelming military, have allowed us to be lethargic.

After WWII we forced the world to use our currency as the reserve currency, and this has allowed us to not only outsource jobs and manufacturing but also outsource our debt.

We get away with living beyond our means because the rest of the world picks up that debt in sometimes not obvious ways.

Despairing over Chinese auto companies is just avoiding the problems of 1) resource depletion and 2) climate change.

The current Administration is getting some kudos today for deciding on not approving new coal mining leases in Montana and Wyoming.

And while that is a good thing it is also a tenuous thing. The next Administration can just reverse that policy. And if Trump is re-elected it certainly will be reversed.

Yesterday’s story:

Ron DeSantis signs bill scrubbing ‘climate change’ from Florida state laws

This of course harkens back to the evolution “debate”, where local governments fought (and some still do) against teaching evolution in schools.

DeSantis is playing to the narcissism of the anti-knowledge crowd.

This also illustrates how we humans deal with things we don’t like: we ignore them as long as possible.

ICYMI in the previous thread, you can now get the old school version of Google search back, without the AI garbage, sponsored links, etc.

Directions:

In Chrome, go to the Settings page and choose “Search Engine” from the left menu. Then click the button “Manage search engines and site search”.

On this page, below the “Search engines” list, click the “Add” button. In the form, give it a name (I used “Google Old School”) and a shortcut (“go”). Then for the URL, enter:

https://www.google.com/search?q=%s&udm=14

and save it. Then you can make it the default with the 3-dot menu that shows up next to it.

This is a good thing to do. Can recommend highly.

Arizona Republicans Set Up a Ballot Measure to Squash Future Ballot Measures

Right now, petitioners need to pass just one statewide test to qualify a measure: They need to gather more signatures than a minimum number defined in the state constitution, regardless of where the signatures come from. (The threshold is 10 or 15 percent of all votes cast in the most recent governor’s race, depending on whether the proposal would amend the constitution.)

If the new measure passes, it would create 30 separate tests instead: Initiatives would need to meet that same threshold of signatures in each and every one of Arizona’s 30 legislative districts.

This would require tremendous logistical feats from any citizen-led effort. Canvassers would need to dramatically scale up their presence in the most remote parts of Arizona, unable to rely on high-traffic areas and denser population centers.

Coleman was good in anything I ever saw him in; he was equally good in comedies (often playing a misogynist blowhard, as in 9 to 5 and Modern Problems) as he was in dramas (often playing an authority figure, as with his early cameo in The Towering Inferno as the SFFD deputy chief that lays out the suicide mission to McQueen’s Halloran to blow the tower’s water tanks to kill the fire [to which McQueen’s Halloran had the perfect reply: “Oh shit…”] and as NORAD IT director McKittrick in WarGames).

Since then, the Chiefs have risen to dynastic performance under head coach Andy Reid, quarterback Patrick Mahomes, and tight end Travis Kelce, appearing in four Super Bowls since 2019 and winning three, LIV, LVII, and LVIII.[20][21][22]

I’m pretty sure cats would take over the world for real. It would be like Neil Gaiman’s “A Dream of a Thousand Cats.”

Love, Death, and Robots episode.

Richard Blumenthal sounds very pissed off about Alito and Thomas on MSNBC right now, which sounds nice, but probably goes nowhere.

It’s just weird to me how people don’t seem to see this as a very real emergency.

The secrets families hold….

Only some ever see the light of day.

Genealogy can be very intriguing, lots to discover about the dead.

And living.

My son, who works at the NYU Tanden School, helped usher at the graduation last weekend. They used a machine learning algorithm to read all of the names at the ceremony.

I finished watching Fallout today. Fun series. Hope they make another season.

What was that trailer a few months back with the half mutant idiot who screams incoherently when he tries to talk to the female lead - there’s a robot and other characters in it as well…I thought it was Fallout. Also takes place after the apocalypse.

re: #37 Love-Child of Cassandra and Sisyphus

Yesterday’s story:

Ron DeSantis signs bill scrubbing ‘climate change’ from Florida state laws

This of course harkens back to the evolution “debate”, where local governments fought (and some still do) against teaching evolution in schools.

DeSantis is playing to the narcissism of the anti-knowledge crowd.

This also illustrates how we humans deal with things we don’t like: we ignore them as long as possible.

That’ll take care of climate change. All fixed now.

Oh yeah…I fixed my dishwasher drain this afternoon…took a lot less time than I thought it would. The previous unit had been chewed through by mice (my cat sucks at mice)…I think I killed them with traps, but not before they chewed away the rubber.

Anyway, feeling pretty chuffed after my DIY home repair - one metal screw clamp and two wire pinch clamps. Dishwasher is running now and draining into the sink like god intended.

re: #67 Nerdy Fish

It had my grandfather’s draft card, which was neat to see.

I did the same for my grandfather. They had forms for both WWI and WWII. For the latter, he was 48. I never realized they would draft men that old. They didn’t take him then but he was in WWI. They also had the ship manifests for when he sailed to Europe out of NYC and returned just 6 months later from Liverpool. He was in a construction battalion so I guess the war had pretty much wound down and didn’t need men to build bases and such.

If the US becomes a fascist state, it will differ from other historical examples because all of the steps toward it happened right out in the open in front of the whole world, with media coverage.

It would also be during an era of relative prosperity and international dominance. That’s an entirely new mold.

Wife on phone telling Son2 about how tight things were when he was a child:
“Your dad loves nuts and chocolate chips. When we shopped we could buy either nuts or chocolate chips in the same week.”

Now we can afford all the nuts and chocolate chips we want. The docs say I can’t have any nuts or chocolate chips.

My wife is Alpha-gal positive.

No more steaks, prime rib, or pork chops for us.

“Even his neighbors didn’t want to complain about Alito’s ‘Stop the Steal’ flag, both because there’s no possibility of accountability, and also because they fear reprisal. This, right here, is the reason we create accountability: because without it, we are hostages to the unaccountable.”
