Reminds me of this guy (son of Larry Ellison, whoever that is?), who also looks like he is about to be casually staked during the opening monologue sequence of a first season Buffy.

All great. Except Constitutional Interpretation, which was then, and has been underlined now, as a fabulous waste of time.

Every elected, non-progressive Democrat right now is the person who, during an emergency evacuation of a burning airplane, blocks all the passengers behind him by trying to get his over-sized bag out of the overhead compartment.

Yes “seems” doing work. More “imagine” I suppose. I think a lot of us who only know about you, and read your comments, imagine that you know who you are, and see the world as it is, and that makes us happy. Because you are alive in a breed that seems to be dying.

Lynda Berry had the perfect response to this -- in reference to the Kelly LeBrock (cosmetics?) ad of the late 1980's. Kelly LeBrock: "Don't hate me because I'm beautiful." Lynda Berry: "But that's not why I hate you."

As I understand it The Great Filter isn't "evidence for" the Great Filter. It's an explanation (hypothesis) for what we can observe outside out solar system? -- and why we don't observe more advanced life.

We ship a TON of stuff in our small business -- USPS, UPS, and FEDEX. In my experience, it's MUCH easier to talk to a real person -- who has answers -- with the USPS than with the two private companies. And don't get me started about how difficult and backward Fedex's web interface is.

What's amazing is that the author thinks that progressives continue to call out loathsome behavior -- even when he says it doesn't matter -- because they don't "know what else to do" instead of considering that progressives don't simply change what they believe because of shifting power dynamics.

Thank you so much for your tireless optimism. The fuckwads may very well win, but it means so much every time someone of your caliber calls them out and plants a flag. This is a drawn out affair, and you bear no shame for what others fail to recognize.

Best guess is that she thinks "peopling" refers to appealing to people like her by being your authentic self, and by excluding you from that group she is just telling on herself.

I'm from Buffalo. I lived in DC for one year. Once it snowed, and everyone acted like nothing had happened and it was still cool to drive 75 miles an hour into every turn and curve. Cars dotted the countryside like mushrooms on a woodland path.

The best explanation is that while the Republicans are bought and sold to do the oligarchs’ bidding, the Democrats are bought and sold to pretend to oppose the oligarchs' bidding. The oligarchs don’t pay just to exert their will; they pay to make their will appear legitimate.

Completely agree. An objectively insipid pushback on what appears to be not just unsupported claims, but doctored evidence.

Which isn't to fetishize the DoI -- it's to say that we don't need to appeal to any outside authority to recognize when something is intrinsically wrong, abhorrently unjust. We can oppose it, and demand correction, on those grounds alone. As did others before us.
