The critical question, apparently.

Gee, I wonder why Justice Thomas might be friendly towards the accused in a public corruption case. Maybe Harlan Crow encouraged him.
"I said, I said, Boy, don’t go forgetting who lines your pockets. "
When Barrett was nominated, my comment was, “she is the kind of woman that would vote to make herself chattel.” Anything even remotely rational from her is a win. Historically, the Court has had a tendency to make justices more liberal. They’re generally smart people and exposure to well argued positions does tend to make you think.
Of course Thomas is out there besmirching the entire legal profession with his shameless acceptance of graft. I wonder if he lets Harlan refer to him as “boy.”
I write code for embedded systems that have hard real-time deadlines. Flashing an LED is an inexpensive number of operations compared to most other diagnostic techniques. I can connect an oscilloscope to them to get meaningful accurate time measurements. I am not blinking out Morse code status messages (although I have considered it for some particularly squirrelly problems).
It’s me. I write software and complain to the hardware team when I don’t have leds to blink for diagnostic purposes.
Separate apps for various retail stores. I don’t want a home depot app. I don’t want a kroger app. We have a generic app for this category called a web browser. If you want me to download a specialized app for your store, I assume that means that my browser does not sufficiently breach my privacy for your “business purposes.”
One of my cats has a much bigger murder section than the other. Her brain is probably about 30% murder and 30% food. Oddly, she is substantially thinner than the other one who is not very food or murder oriented. The porky one is mostly nap - probably 60%.
Maybe we should make his fantasies a reality. Treason can be a capital offense. Subverting our elections while being beholden to Moscow sounds a lot like treason to me.
Coming soon to the U.S., we need the seven-day work week to outcompete our foreign rivals. Don’t you want to be rich? It will trickle down. No that is not Reagan’s ghost laughing out loud at how gullible his constituents are, why do you think that?
Well there is no commandment that says, "Thou shall not grab thy date’s hog in a crowded theater on camera and in front of children. " I guess she is okay. Lol
Caught in the act of rape? Permanent damage would not be a bad outcome.
“Our newspaper is in such dire financial straits that we can’t afford to turn down any adveriser.” does bad things to employee morale and shareholder enthusiasm (which we all know is what really matters). When the truth is too damning, you cannot run with it.
This is why ancient humans invented mob justice. When the laws don’t work, order still needs to be imposed.
My cat eats a prescription food. A 7.7 pound bag has gone from $48 per bag to $60 per bag in the last 18 months.
Looking at this idiocy from a purely practical perspective, surely housing the homeless by sending them to prison is not the most economical solution. I suppose it probably means someone’s brother-in-law gets to build more for-profit prisons though.
Big Bosses later ask middle managers: “Why is turnover so high? Are you not fostering a fun environment?” The 40 % raise for job hopping is a real mystery.
Sounds exactly like what Putin would want him to do. I don’t think that is a coincidence.
Really it has no impact on most of us. I have never used a partnership tax basis shift and almost certainly never would have. It is going to cost a bunch of obscenely wealthy jerks some money and cost the rest of us nothing. Win-win.
And yet 2023 was the new all time high for carbon emissions, at least until 2024 is in the book. We will not cut emissions until we run out of easily extractable carbon to emit. We’ll be building solar powered pumps for oil wells at some point for the otherwise negative EROI. As a species, we deserve the consequences of our behavior. Too bad they will be most severe for some of the least responsible first.
