Citizenship shall apply automatically at birth
unless someone loud and male on any number of primetime cable news shows feels skin color makes them uncomfortable.
This is not hypocrisy.
Hypocrisy requires a fixed standard. Please keep up. We have moved beyond that.
This, too, is the genius of conservative legal reasoning:
It can stand athwart history yelling breathlessly about original meaning,
then sprint blindly toward the nearest convenient exception

The US Constitution Is for Simple Folk Still Burdened by the Belief That Words Have Meaning
“Every serious legal mind must inevitably face a fundamental choice: Read the Constitution and apply its words as the bedrock laws of the land, or transcend ...

The Mission voted against giving the SFPD drones by 20 points.
Now SFPD is flying more drones here than any other neighborhood.
This is an occupation.
Sources: sfchronicle.com/crime/article/

Where SFPD deployed its drones by neighborhood. The Mission is highlighted with 497 deployments. (You can't tell visually, but the interactive map shows fewer deployments in the similarly darkly shaded SoMa, Financial District/South Beach, and Tenderloin.)
Map of citywide results for (March 2024) Prop E by neighborhood, with the Mission highlighted, where voters were 60% against vs 40% in favor. Citywide it was 54.1% Yes. Prop E changes SFPD policies in several areas: allows police to deploy new surveillance technology for up to one year before Board of Supervisors approval is required, expands vehicle pursuit rules to include suspects of felonies or violent misdemeanors, reduces certain use-of-force reporting requirements, and modifies the role …

Reinhold Messner's moving message about the recent death of Nirmal Purja and ten others:
What matters is being there while that person is still alive. Listening, especially in difficult times. Staying present when someone feels lost. Sometimes the greatest gift is simply to let them speak and to be heard.
I know what it feels like to leave someone you love behind in the mountains. A pain so profound it takes your breath away.
And yet l also know that, for some, …

AeS has better policy positions, HS has a solid legislative record. They BOTH have style issues. This is why I was for McMorrow (good policy & legislative chops) but that was not to be.
The fact that there’s such a breadth of Fash trying to stop AeS is telling. They don’t want him compared to Mike Rogers, the most boring establishment candidate alive.
HS’s style — careful, wooden, scripted, centrist — makes her a shit opponent for Rogers. @…

It is incredibly annoying to see so much obvious organized *international* tooting/skeeting in the Michigan Democratic Party primary for the US Senate. Especially since most of it seems to be aimed at making them both look bad. Like a German I saw on the Fediverse concern-trolling polls…

Oh, great. Just looked at Hetzner’s new pricing for VPS servers:
CPX22 (dedicated vCPU): €7.99 − €19.49 ( 143.8%)
So that’s fun. I guess one way to ensure the Small Web doesn’t happen is to make it prohibitively expensive for people to have their own servers.
(Before anyone mentions it, prices of single-board computers are also increasing and shipping hardware is an even bigger challenge.)
If anyone knows cheaper EU-based hosts, please leave a comment.
It’s so m…

This was part of my frustration with working in policy enforcement, a.k.a. Abuse Desk. No one bothers to report abuse. That’s a 2-nines “no one.”
The worst embedded autoplaying horse porn email spammers generate at most single-digit-percentage abuse reports. I’m sure social media is much worse, because people have acclimatized themselves to social media being full of garbage that no one will stop.

Yep, if you look at the archive copy of the now-retracted @npr.org story in @waybackmachine.bsky.social, "Justice Samuel Alito, seen here in April 2021, retired Friday" appeared as both the alt image tag and image caption, though the lede text said "the court announced Tuesday."
