Samuel Alito’s Mysterious Absence From Supreme Court Raises Questions ( newrepublic.com )

Samuel Alito was again absent from the Supreme Court on Friday after skipping out on Thursday. No information has yet been provided by the court for Alito’s mysterious absence, which comes as the court is issuing decisions before the end of its term and leaves nothing but questions on his whereabouts....

Sounds like he is working on a way to delay the decision of whether Trump is a king.

I wish Alito dead. The rest of the conservatives too.

His guard is up for the first act because he is traveling with new people.the change is due to warming up to the characters.

Shadowheart does this in the first act too, and combined they are really annoying as a combo but I found both to be fine individually.

Accused adulterer Trump who paid to keep Stormy Daniels affair secret professes ‘love’ for the Ten Commandments ( www.independent.co.uk )

“I LOVE THE TEN COMMANDMENTS IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS, PRIVATE SCHOOLS, AND MANY OTHER PLACES, FOR THAT MATTER. READ IT — HOW CAN WE, AS A NATION, GO WRONG??? THIS MAY BE, IN FACT, THE FIRST MAJOR STEP IN THE REVIVAL OF RELIGION, WHICH IS DESPERATELY NEEDED, IN OUR COUNTRY. BRING BACK TTC!!! MAGA2024,” Trump wrote in the early...

Trump also worships a false idol (money), bore false witness (and keeps getting judgements), steals (doesn't pay for work), doesn't keep the sabbath, covets pretty much everything, and is too chicken shit to commit murder but has called for the death penalty on exonerated people and was recently in the news because while president he wanted his opponents executed.

The current right wing government also doesn't represent every citizen of Israel either, but it is ok to use 'Israel' as a shorthand for the actions of the current right wing government when the actions are a continuation of decades of similar colonialism and the government is in power due to how the majority of the population voted.

So hatred against everyone in Israel is also wrong, but saying Israel is committing genocide doesn't require saying it is the current government.

This meme should say "The actions of Israel does not represent the will of all Jews,,,"

Edit: I expect everyone who down voted also refrains from using Russia, China, or the United States and other names of countries when making criticisms for consistency. "Russia didn't invade Ukraine, the current Putin led government did."

Kempelen was inspired to build the Turk following his attendance at the court of Maria Theresa of Austria at Schönbrunn Palace, where François Pelletier was performing an illusion act. An exchange afterward resulted in Kempelen promising to return to the Palace with an invention that would top the illusions.

I find it absolutely hilarious that his invention to top the illusions was another illusion.

'Man flu" is a derogatory term used to mock men for being "weak" by getting sick in the first place and it doesn't actually matter if the symptoms are more severe or last longer. Men are being mocked because they are admitting that being sick actually impacts them.

Medically, yeah, knowing if there is a significant difference will most likely be helpful for treatment but that isn't really relevant for a sexist insult.

They will end up finding out that the US will absolutely have their back despite the genocide of Palestinians so that the US can keep their middle east ally. You know, like that one asshole who always starts fights because their big friends help out when they start getting their ass kicked.

You have a few recent comments and a few older posts with downvotes, but most things are overwhelmingly upvoted.

The downvotes were earned, and maybe you should give more consideration to why people were disagfeeing with you on those few topics as there were replies that made the reason clear.

Ah yes, the same kind of logic that proves that nobody in the United States is starving because we have far more food available per person than needed.

It checks out since food is perfectly evenly distributed all the time, especially during violent conflicts!

How the Recycling Symbol Duped People into Buying More Plastic ( www.scientificamerican.com )

Huge bales of paper shipped overseas can contain as much as 30 percent plastic waste. “Contamination is one of the biggest challenges facing the recycling industry,” the EPA said in...

Plastic companies tricked people i to skipping the first step. They also love slapping it on plastic waste for reuse, but people just assume the whole thing means recycle now.

Denver gave people experiencing homelessness $1,000 a month. A year later, nearly half of participants had housing. ( www.businessinsider.com )

Participants like Laws were given direct cash payments, no strings attached, and could...

I just can't believe that when you give money to people who don't have enough they will spend it on basic necessities! Maybe we should try replicating this nationally to see if this was just an outlier.

For a control, maybe do an income for everyone. To keep is simple, we would need to stick to the basics and just give everyone the same amount and see if it provides universal stability. There is probably some kind of name that would cover this universally basic income.

Evolutionary psychology is as scientific as phrenology.

snooggums ,
@snooggums@midwest.social avatar

Phrenology wwas an active field until it wasn't.

Evolutionary psychology does start with a reasonable starting point, that some behaviors are passed genetically, but then uses that to give excuses to things that are primarily learned or discourged through social and environmental pressures. It takes something that is reasonable to speculate about as part of being biological but then twists it into justifications for racism and sexism by painting with broad brushes.

snooggums ,
@snooggums@midwest.social avatar

That’s the same as saying darwinism is garbage because it led to eugenics.

Quantum mechanics isn’t a garbage field because Deepak Shopra thinks it can cure baldness.

Evolutionary psychology at its core twists the concept of genetic inheritence into justifications for racism and sexism, like phrenology before it. These two examples are people taking existing science and misapplying them to things they don't have anything to do with.

We don't need a fancy word that makes it sound like AI is actually intelligent when talking about how AI is frequently wrong and unreliable. AI being wrong is like someone who misunderstood something or took a joke as literal repeating it as factual.

When people are wrong we don't call it hallucinating unless their senses are altered. AI doesn't have senses.

snooggums ,
@snooggums@midwest.social avatar

Those are examples of actual hallucinations where something did not happen.

Quoting a joke reddit thread as factual is not hallucinating. There was such a thread, but it wasn't factual and an LLM is wrong to present it as factual.

It would be awesome if legal terms like 'grandfathered in' were ditched along with those laws. A term that was used to let white people automatically vote because their grandfather wasn't a slave shouldn't be be kept around as a reminder of Jim Crow.

fascists hate all art

Bullshit. They absolutely love propaganda and co-opting existing symbology to unite their supporters and exclude the out groups they use to fan the flames of hatred.

They do hate all art that doesn't support their mission though.

It seemed to be about things, other than art (and broke up the sentence) in a way that the part after the parenthesis, seemed to be talking about something, other than art.

This is a reply with a similar confusing sentence structure.
