I use Jerboa too, i don’t tag but I think connect for lemmy and some others might.

You could be the fastest tagger in the west, the account in question has only been active for 5 days.

A worm ate my memory of it.

“This is ineffective at tackling the root problem. I have a better idea… doing nothing and letting the industry screw over my constituents!”

Supreme Court version of “it’s just a prank, bro?”

Addendum: Is the entire world really going to wait another two years for the Supremely Stupid Six to act all surprised when the expected consequences of their biased and horrible interpretations of the law manifest themselves?

Addendum 2: I’m talking about the Grants Pass, Snyder, Trump, Raimondo rulings that have devastating effects that are spelled out each time in the dissents.

Stepping in where states are letting or even making workers suffer.

An official™ act.

Yeah the Constitution don’t say anything bout AI so according to the originalists, companies can do anything they want, lol.

Legislating? Not when Republicans have a hold on the house, or the Senate.

You overestimate the risk of this specific event. I do think the DNC and all Americans need a wakeup call before November and this may or may not be it, but the debate is forgettable in 1 week whereas the consequences of these Supreme Court decisions or going to be with us for years to come.

Democrats have other opportunities to energize their base, it’s up to them to use these opportunities, and avoid letting Trump dominate every election conversation.

MFW American democracy is being gutted to pieces by the SCOTUS.

Yeah, from a Canadian looking south, there’s no two ways about it. Not Biden’s best night, he brought a solid platform but the debate did not go in the way he wanted it to be.

Trump brought nothing of substance to the debate, lying his ass off as usual and pandering to his base. Also expressing Putin’s dreams and stuff. Yet, Biden’s presentation tonight could hardly beat a pet rock at a debate…

I’d fantasize about Bernie Sanders, AOC or anyone spry and progressive take the Democratic presidential candidate role for 2024, C$50 to charity if they do, but most are expected to know that even if Biden’s not perfect it’s his team that actually got things done unlike Trump whose entire presidency was about himself.

Edit 2: I’m hoping the poor performance is overshadowed by the real consequences of electing Trump beginning to show themselves with Friday morning’s SCOTUS decisions.

I dunno if I’d consider Secratary of Transportation as a low stakes role, he’s been out and about getting IIJA funds out across the country and there to present new rail, highway, air and marine infrastructure improvements.

Plus, if an unspeakable fate were to befall thirteen specific individuals, simultaneously rendering them unable to perform their duties, you’d have a President Buttigieg.

From Barrett’s dissent:

In so doing, the Court grants emergency relief in a fact-intensive and highly technical case without fully engaging with both the relevant law and the voluminous record.

Basically what the current US supreme court majority does to sway many cases in whatever way they feel like: ignore the way the court is supposed to work, ignore or diminish contrary evidence and push their own views.

Well it would be a win-win for India, basically Russia gets paid in customer loyalty store points.

Apple’s may start being salty and blame everything on anti-trust from now on.

Why were your beans cold this morning? EU’s DMA.

Why did you get delayed to your event? EU’s DMA.

Why did it rain on the one day you were planning to take a trip? EU’s DMA, of course.

Has anybody seen anyone who could be an anti-Christ around here?

“Replacing Talent” is not what AI is meant for, yet, it seems to be every penny-pinching, bean counting studio’s long term goal with it.

Don’t forget Betsy Devos, the education secretary who’s essentially never gone through public education, daughter of billionaire Edgar Prince.

A secretary of transportation Elaine Chao married to freakin Mitch McConnell of all people.

A Postmaster General Louis DeJoy with no experience at USPS who owns delivery companies that directly compete and contract with them who hasn’t been ousted yet…

People rag on Joe’s purported poor mental capabilities, but his power is from having effective, competent people in his cabinet who are not merely sycophantic conservative donors.

Harumph! I’m only voting for it if Rep. Ocasio-Cortez scowls at it. 😤
