The Chief Justice of the United States will literally change the rules of the Supreme Court of the United States instead of divesting in individual stocks.
NEW: The Supreme Court will begin requiring litigants in March to list the stock ticker for each party involved in a case to make it easier to check if a justice has a conflict of interest that might require recusal. #SCOTUS
Here are the changes: www.supremecourt.gov/filingandrul...

People talk about this stuff in terms of how much it'll suck for gaming and I hate to inform you how many MRI machines, X-Rays, all sorts of other vital machinery are just a Windows IoT Edition PC in a beige plastic box with a big magnet/accelerator/whatever attached.

Hyperscalers are tearing hard drives out of the hands of manufacturers. Prices are therefore also rising for SSDs.

Stephen Colbert had Democrat James Talarico (running for Senate in Texas) on The LateShow. Trump's FCC goon called CBS and told them they couldn't air that interview. CBS pulled the interview out of fear/fealty. So Colbert put the whole interview up on Youtube. www.youtube.com/watch?v=oiTJ...

And if you can afford to get a passport, do that. Start now because it can take months. If you can afford it, there are places that can expedite it for you, but it still takes longer than you might expect, especially because they keep reducing the departments that deal with things..
If you use your married name on official ID, i.e. Driver's License or passport, start now to obtain official documents of your marriage, divorce, name change for any reason from your state. You may need to take them with you in order to vote
Think proving citizenship is simple?
Ask any of the 21M+ married women if her birth name does not match her current name.
No match. No vote. This is voter supression.

I actually got through to both Senators' offices today. Talked to real people.
Both sound poised to vote no, which is good, but they still needed to hear from me. They need to hear from all of us.
This is one of the ways we can impact things. Using our voices.
Don't stay silent, please. ♥️

Sending love and warmth out to my work friends who knew or admired Bud Cort and James Van Der Beek. I grew up at the right age for James to be a huge part of my teen years and 20s, and actually encountered Cort around that same time through @thatkevinsmith.bsky.social's incredible film DOGMA.
