mRNA vaccines, genome editing, ML-based prediction of protein structure, etc are as ripe for innovation as aviation was 100 y ago

Capitalism is *all about*, at its core, building decentralized systems which on inspection turn out to be centrally controlled, or controlled via a "one dollar one vote" democracy of the five or six richest people in the system.

Conservatives are the party of child sacrifice. Sacrifice them to transphobia, to homophobia, to poverty, to medical neglect, to preventable disease, to detention. It's the worship of Moloch with the power of a nation-state.

👇🎯 And again, in the meantime, until we get this type of major structural reform sorted out:
- No budget
- No building
- No clerks
- No shadow docket
- Riding the circuit
Nothing more, until & unless the Wizards In Robes decide they want to follow the law & Constitution again.

This could probably be done with simple legislation. Article 3 says almost nothing about how the Supreme Court operates. It mentions that a chief justice will exist, but that’s about it. There are essentially no constitutional rules about how they hear or decide cases.
I'm going to keep saying this in my effort to speak it into reality: Supreme Court should have at least 100 Justices with rotating panels (and maybe an en banc option). No single Justice should have so much power and they shouldn't be names everyone knows.

There's nothing to decide. Any decision that contradicts the plain language of the Constitution must be ignored as it has no force of law.

"How do I make my boss happy?" is the question that dominates the mind of every little authoritarian, and they instinctively assume it's on everyone else's mind as well.
Hassett: "The way to think about what AI & its agents can do is they can act as if they're the best coach you've ever had. And so while you're trying to figure out, how do I make my boss happy? It's like you've got a coach right there with you every step of the way."

It's hard to explain to normies how much effort Trump is putting into anti-trans policies.
This is like the 12th thing just this week. And there were 12 things the week before, and 12 things the week before that. There will be 12 things next week.
This is almost everything the government is doing.
