@KatM@mastodon.social @albnelson @heidilifeldman Well that's ridiculous. We established a long time ago that women shouldn't lose rights under the law when they marry their husbands.
She has every right to express whatever view she wants. Just as he has the duty to recuse himself on issues for which his marital situation impacts the appearance of his impartiality.

Good to remember that the much-maligned #Section230 is what protects online information about reproductive rights and gender care from being sued out of existence by states with abortion and gender care bans. https://www.wired.com/story/section-230-is-a-last-line-of-defense-for-abortion-speech-online/?ref=touchgrass.fightforthefuture.org
@kreyren Lmao, agreed. How is a whole electrolysis setup supposed to be easier than basic scrubbing?

Do take the time to read #Alito ‘s letter, in which he cloaks his own misapplicof the recusal standard in a self-righteous assertion of his wife’s First Amendment rights. He is correct that she has these. He is wrong to think that her exercise of them does not raise questions about his own impartiality. https://www.washingtonpost.com/documents/ae3feb5a-13a4-4f0f-9046-b61a530c40fb.pdf #LawFedi 1/

During a group photo with greeters on the PHL tarmac a reporter shouted a question at President Biden about whether he'd serve four more years or hand over power to VP Harris. He replied: “You're not hurt are you? Are you okay? Did you fall on your head or something?”
That's not how duty works.
In letters to members of Congress, SCOTUS Justice Alito says his wife was responsible for the flags flap, thus “I am therefore duty-bound to reject...
@logicalmoody However short it needs to be to set up the punchline for the joke.
Why worry about climate change?
On a short enough scale, it won't effect us.
And on a long enough scale, the earth will rid itself of these annoying pretentious apes climbing all over it and finally heal.
It's all good.
@cyberlyra @jeffjarvis Also, while I can't speak for all Italian-Americans, this one is firmly in the camp of "fuck Columbus, he doesn't represent us."
@Phiend @jeffjarvis That's what museums are for. And, from what I understand, that's where most of these statues end up after being taken down from positions of honor in public squares.
I became an uncle last night!
@JasonPerseus Aren't you just describing a primary?
@puppygirlhornypost@transfem.social That right there is called "job security for life".
@avlcharlie I agree with that. But I think there's also a growing movement to divest from that, with growing interest in decentralized networks like Mastodon upsetting big social media, and free open source software upsetting the big software giants, and increased unionization across the country.
The more the special interests try to tighten the noose, the more people feel the need to resist and find a better way.
@avlcharlie I think it is okay. Because we, the public, always have the right to walk out if we don't like the environment they're curating. That's our free speech right.
If we were required to use these systems, I would share many of the same concerns you do, but since I can tell Elon Musk to go fuck himself and just not use Twitter... it's fine.
@shsbxheb@fosstodon.org The problem is that they're trying to violate it at all for anyone.
And this isn't a partisan issue. The TikTok ban was passed bipartisan.

A long time ago I was given this advice about coding estimates:
Take the programmer's estimate. Double the number and Increment the time measure.
Thus: 1 hour -> 2 days
3 days -> 6 weeks
4 weeks -> 8 months
@shsbxheb@fosstodon.org What is?
@shsbxheb@fosstodon.org @TheConversationUS The problem here is the government violating the 1A rights of TikTok. You brought up Fox, but the government hasn't tried to violate their rights with a sell/ban order.
