Biden Campaign Brushes Off Idea of Reforming the Supreme Court
  • Let's be clear about what this is,

    this is the executive branch refusing to put checks on a clearly corrupt and dysfunctional judicial branch. The stability of our 3 branch system depends on the branches being willing and able to check each other. If one branch yields to another, the system fails.

  • Christian Nationalists Accelerate Their Plan to Dismantle Public Education
  • I think the left should take advantage of this. As an anarchist, I'm not a fan of state education, if leftist groups started schools the way the right does, we can turn this on them. Even the threat of doing so might make them reconsider.

    Similar in idea to how minorities getting armed inspired gun laws in the 80s.

  • Aliens haven't contacted us. Scientists found a compelling reason why.
  • I find the idea that all intelligent species have the same dominator instinct driving them to explore, exploit, and colonize to be flawed. Not even all humans have this instinct, it's just that our western societies are all about domination so we grow up thinking it's the norm.

  • The Supreme Court just made a massive power grab it will come to regret
  • This is true to some degree, but ignores several important factors, such as

    • The electoral system was set up before we were even around with the goal of limiting our power
      • therefore using the electoral system to fix the electoral system is extremely inefficient
    • We are subject to extremely effective propaganda and psyops
    • There are significant efforts by the right wing to keep people dumb and poor
  • Sometimes when I cough just right after a hit, Sweet Leaf starts playing in my head.

    Pete Buttigieg fact-checks a GOP congressman to his face at House hearing
  • 8 billion is unsustainable, our population will decrease drastically in the coming century. We can choose whether it's via degrowth (a controlled, intentional, intelligent reversal of the economic growth of the last decades) or famine, disease, and war.

    I fear you're right that degrowth will never happen and we're just going to march toward collapse.

    Radiant Sky Cooling Is Cool AF

    This guy figured out how to turn the results of scientific experiments showing how it's possible to cool the temperature of a material below ambient temperatures by radiating heat into space using exotic or uncommon substances into something you can do yourself with easy to acquire and safe materials.
