Senator Sanders has some wise words about this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vf5MThSniiY

Yeah, money is a social construct; it's really just numbers in computers. We can redefine capital to be numbers that actually make sense ... uh, theoretically.

neither. 0.0% chance for either candidate.

This level of cynicism is unwarranted. Sure it might be low, but for Harris it's at least 0.1%.

Weird to use an obscure source to report that Axios (a reasonably well known web presence) reported about this. A moment's search turned up the original Axios article.

I hear you, but please still get out and vote for Harris/Walz this November. This is about keeping the infrastructure of representative democracy in place so we will be able to work towards those needed changes. If Trump wins, all that is going away, and those of us guilty of thought crimes such as believing in global warming will end up in prison at best.

I don't know how he would ever have expected anything different from Netanyahu. It's not like this is the first time he failed to show the "restraint" Biden pleaded for (while simultaneously providing him with an unlimited supply of weapons).

So, giving you what I called the choice dialog. That makes sense. Intent intercept wouldn't help then, it would just give you one more basically irrelevant choice to do all the things (although it's useful for developers).

Is it actually opening up the Sprinkler app for all those other purposes, or giving you a choice dialog? If it's actually opening up the app, maybe installing Intent Intercept would at least make it a choice dialog, as it also tries to open everything (just to show information about the request; it's a dev tool).

For me, Salvador Dali's work transformed from fascinating into kitsch when I learned he was a fascist.

You've always got to show up for those school board elections now. Every. Single. Time.

No, Aileen Cannon is presiding over the case about retaining secret documents in Florida (and IIRC, she's already dismissed it and that decision is being appealed). This "conspired to overthrow the government" case is in Washington DC and is presided over by U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan, who is treating it seriously.

Wouldn't a Satanic portal be below the White House?

I get the reference from the title-- that's kind of clever. Too bad it's paywalled; I guess I won't get to read it.

I don't often downvote comments, as I think that often that's just a censorious way to say "I disagree". But this comment so obviously adds nothing of value to the conversation, and indeed poisons it with petty grievance. So I feel totally justified in downvoting this comment.

I have a panini press that can be propped open, and it's the best thing for reheating a slice of pizza. I usually microwave it a bit first just to heat it thru, but sticking on the panini press makes the crust, ah, crusty again.

Exactly. Because it's not any better ("plenty horrible as it stands" as I put it in my original comment), the deceptive headline is not only unnecessary, but also taints the entire story with falsehood when it should not be so degraded.

Ok, fine, if no one else will do it, here's the list:

• Haitian immigrants eating cats and dogs
• Harris wants to bring back the military draft
• Harris had notes during her CNN interview
• schools are sending children for gender-affirming surgeries without their parents’ knowledge
• Harris was sent to negotiate with Putin about Ukraine; her failure started the war
• Harris decided to identify as Black only a few years ago
• Harris was the first candidate to quit the Democratic primary of 2020
• “Every Democrat, every Republican, everybody wanted Roe v. Wade terminated and brought back to the states”
• “if I ran with an honest vote counter in California I would win California, but the votes are not counted honestly.”
• that he was named “Man of the Year” in Michigan before he entered politics.
• “the Congo” has deliberately emptied prisons to somehow get its criminals to come to the United States as migrants.
• The government had been planning to release the report that employment grew less than previously expected after election day, but “a patriot leaker” forced them to release it early

Ok, the title comes from the linked article, but they aren't banned from "mentioning anatomy". They are banned from showing pictures of reproductive organs.

I don't know why some people seem compelled to take a story that's plenty horrible as it stands and give it a deceptive headline... seems like I'm seeing more of that recently. Are we really in a post-truth era?

Interestingly, the researchers noted that the brain regions identified in this study are part of a broader network connected to cognitive functions like reasoning, belief formation, and moral decision-making. These areas are also associated with conditions like pathological confabulation—a disorder where individuals create false memories or beliefs without the intent to deceive. Confabulation is often linked to cognitive rigidity and difficulty in revising beliefs, characteristics that are also found in individuals with high levels of religious fundamentalism.

The researchers also found a spatial overlap between brain lesions associated with criminal behavior and this fundamentalism network, which aligns with previous research suggesting that extreme religious beliefs may be linked to hostility and aggression toward outgroups.

Is that Republicanism in a nutshell, or what?
