I’m glad, but I’m still pretty damn irritated that we’re all seemingly “ok” with the fact that we just have “liberal” and “conservative” judges.

The thing I've realized as I've gotten older is that the difference between liberal and conservative in the US is almost more a question of how we think rather than what we think. When I was younger I thought it was simply that conservative people had one set of values and liberals another, but that's flat out wrong.

The way information is presented to a conservative in their media is much different from how information is presented to a liberal is their media. This leads to a difference in how people think (or maybe the difference was there to begin with and they self selected their media of choice). Try having a conversation with a person of the opposite political persuasion, it's really hard because you both try to convert the argument to your own structure. Both people end up arguing over the structure more than the issue because once the structure has been agreed upon, the topic almost answers itself.

Once you realize that "liberal" and "conservative" is the way someone thinks and not just if they root for team R or team D, it's much easier to come to terms that judges are "liberal" or "conservative" at a more intrinsic level.

You're right, it isn't. It's just already been enshrined into law so they keep using them.

If it translates to massively less Tesla sales, then it means something. Tesla's valuation is so stupidly high because of musk. The big financial institutions are betting on him because they've done very well by him in the past. If tesla crashes and burns hard enough, his toxicity will spread to all his other ventures as well and his bullshit smart guy persona will be left in the dust.

I'm not against Jews, I'm against Israel. It appears that the lesson they learned from the Nazis is how to commit atrocities.

Helicopters that didn't produce much wind when people are nearby.

It's projection. It's always projection.

He wants to steal some valor from Zelensky.

Don't worry, this number will go down very shortly. Oh, not because we'll stop the spread, but because these morons will fire all the people in charge of tracking why all the kids are dying.

xAI is 80 billion? That's a load of shit.

And protesting against Israel.

They're ignoring them. Acceptable use policies are annoying and they're too powerful to follow the rules.

Three microchips at once that's awesome!
