Yes notch is a dick but on the upside, they’re at 1.3M signatures!

Yeah, not to mention Alito (IIRC) made some concurring option that basically said, don’t fucking try to make everything a class action we’ll be watching for that.

Yes, but with exceptions for class action and for administrative process act (apa) nationwide injunctions.

The idea being, if you’re a member of a class in multiple states, you should be included in the injunction for the class even if (as the majority stupidly concluded) you aren’t the person actually asking for the injunction.

On a side note, the podcast Main Justice does a good job explaining these nuances.

Edit: this doesn’t mean things are solid for the class certification. The government will no doubt appeal (potentially directly to SCOTUS) to say the class definition is too wide/invalid. It’s not normal to just call Roberts up and ask for a hearing without going through the various appellate courts first, but we’re not in normal anymore.

This is why I’ve stopped listening to 99% Invisible.

“Oh, cool that’s what the bumps in the sidewalk/curb are for - blind accessibility stuff. Wait, why did it take that fucking long to actually make those a reality and why isn’t it everywhere?”

Even their more lighthearted ones tend to dive into some orphan grinding machine territory.

Medicaid, which provides healthcare to low-income and disabled Americans

[…]

At one point, House speaker Mike Johnson circulated research from the conservative American Enterprise Institute finding that, after sleeping, playing video games was how Medicaid recipients who do not work spend most of their time.

Yes, because heaven forbid the poor and disabled enjoy life a little.

I’ve said this to my very conservative family when they talk about cheaters and welfare queens - I’d gladly give 10 people assistance even if some of them don’t “need” it. If it helps even a majority of the group, it’s worth it.

Edit: And here’s a thought. What would be an acceptable third thing they most spend their time doing?

Listen to that one rep who said we’re all gonna die!

We just need to accept the lord jesus into our hearts so that the hereafter will be assured! Fuck the present earth, it should go through trials like extreme weather, rampant sickness, wars etc - that’s just a sign that the second coming is near!

Someone posted a screenshot from 4chan where they were talking about how to fake submissions… 😠

Yes… “Alarmist”. Given the concentration camps and rumored database of neurodivergents, I think this (not getting formally diagnosed)is more proactive than alarmist

A very common mistake is to commute what you’d drive.

This right here.

When I was living in western NY and bike commuting, I took the Towpath along the Erie Canal instead of following the roads to work. It ended up being about the same distance, but was significantly less stressful to not worry about getting clobbered by a driver not paying attention.

If birthright citizenship can be “blocked” by an executive order and now thanks to SCOTUS, there can’t be a national injunction, the next democrat president better fucking executive order gun control and a whole slew of things.

“You cannot have this kind of whiplash,” Etheridge said. “If every four years tax policy changes drastically like this, we are not going to be able to build anything great in this country.”

No shit.if democrats ever get a trifecta again (highly unlikely) they’d better fucking pass actual laws rather than this budget bill crap.

I want to know the special discount - is it a reduction in price or an increase.

For another interesting take on privacy in the future, take a look at Brian K Vaughn’s The Private Eye graphic novel.

In that world, everyone’s privacy was lost “when the cloud burst”, revealing every private kink, writing, messages, etc for everyone including the rich and powerful. The response was a hard turn towards absolute privacy via avatars.

Plus the art style is great.

Honestly? This is a great, low stakes way of letting him get the feel for the game without feeling like he’s not “helping”.

I’ve been playing Gravity Rush from the PS Vita. I went in blind and have been enjoying it so far. I can’t get motion controls to work, but that hasn’t stopped me yet.

I wish Expedition 33 was more than 10% off. I get why, but still.

My wishlist has some sub $5USD games so I’ll probably drop 20 or so. I really don’t need the extras though. According to SteamDB, I’ve only played about 41% of my 714 games - and that doesn’t include all the GOG and free Epic/Amazon games I’ve snagged over the years.

Cast to Chill is a pretty great fishing game for the steam deck. I’ve been enjoying it since the NextFest demo.
