14th amendment 3rd clause
“No person shall be… elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath..shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof…”
Nowhere does it say

@annmlipton Imagining Trump reading a book is like picturing him riding a stationary bicycle. The only image your brain can conjure is a comedic one because it deviates so completely from everything we understand about the natural order of things.

I received a gift from a friend today. Opening this card starts playing "Never Gonna Give You Up". It doesn't stop playing. 1/3

Just accidentally watched a rocket launch into space from my back yard. #Florida life.

Again: if Thomas was a judge on any court except SCOTUS, this would be a no-brainer. It's bribery. He and everyone involved, like Harlan Crow, would be indicted.
But we're supposed to pretend it's okay because it's SCOTUS.

While I don't believe in wasting empathy on fascists, when I see people posting "fascists aren't people" stuff I feel sick to my stomach because this kind of dehumanization of people we hate (even if they hate us) is fascist thinking. Fascists are people, terrible people who wish or don't care if they do the rest of us harm, but still human beings. This doesn't mean we have to indulge them, it just means that when we dehumanize other people we are in the process of becoming fascists ourselves (no matter how loudly we yell "freedom"). Freedom comes with responsibilities if you're not a fascist and one of those responsibilities is to recognize that we're all human, even the people we don't like or who may want to kill us.
Even though my count is already off by over 30%, I still struggle to grok that the population of the world is not the number I learned in high school 20 years ago.
That... that's technically a hate crime, isn't it?

You know that feeling in (older) Bethesda games where you finish the intro and step out into the massive beautiful world full of possibilities and you just feel a sense of magical wonder?
If you want that feeling in real life, get cataract surgery. Stepping out my front door this morning was quite a breathtaking experience.
Since I only have one eye done at this point, I'm able to easily compare the two and I made this mock-up, for those who have never experienced it:
There are many modern tech inventions released these days that make me wonder "why didn't I think of that?"
This is not one of them.
An app allowing users to upload real photos of women and then creates a fake AI generated image of them nude is advertising on Twitter/X. https://...
I have officially begun my transition to cyborg by having a functional body part replaced with an improved non-biological man-made version.
In other words, cataract surgery went well.
I had to wake up super early today, which is miserable... and then I notice the school bus going by as I'm struggling to become coherent.
It's really no wonder why teenagers hate all adults when we make them get up this early every day.
Couldn't find my cat after 15 minutes of looking for him.
Then I remembered that I only made this bed with two pillows.

#2867 DateTime
It's not just time zones and leap seconds. SI seconds on Earth are slower because of relativity, so there are time standards for space stuff (TCB, TGC) that use faster SI seconds than UTC/Unix time. T2 - T1 = [God doesn't know and the Devil isn't telling.]

There is no way to accomplish this that isn't downright Orwellian. And many of the proposed technologies will pose health risks for rental cars.
