This is blatantly unconstitutional

Between Ron DeSantis, Greg Abbott, and Rick Scott all trying to get to the right of one another in an attempt to woo Evangelical Iowans, we’re on the road to Florida and Texas competing to see who can put the bigger swastika on their respective flags.

The term “racist NYPD union boss” seems a little redundant.

I’m not super worried about that in the absolutely immediate future. Even if (or honestly, when) they retake the Senate and House after the midterms, they’re not guaranteed to pick up enough seats in the Senate to get past a Democrat filibuster—and even if they got that (or if they nuked the filibuster, which would be…

There are like two “specs” of international water in the Gulf of Mexico, just south of the Texas coast (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_waters). I’m 99% certain that it would be entirely too expensive and logistically complicated to actually pull this off, but it would be theoretically possible to park a…

The ghouls are wayyyyyy ahead of you.

Banning people based on their gender identity, race, ethnicity, national origin, body type, or position on abortion, are all categorically despicable. Banning people for fundraising or soliciting money (whatever the cause,) or for trying to buy drugs, is (imho) fine for a dating app. It’s not that I have a moral issue…

My wife and I discovered that this season is so cringe that we just couldn’t sit through it. We have instead taken to watching the Bachelor Fantake summaries on YouTube--regardless of whether you watch the actual show or not, I really can’t recommend these summary videos enough. 

It’s a weird thing to say that for-profit businesses determine their compensation based on pecuniary considerations?

Is he? I hope he is, but I’m not so sure. It seems to me that despite his (arguable) decline in popularity, he still has the ear of a lot of the whackadoo Right, and those people have a disproportionate bearing on politics.

Second this. I clicked on this out of morbid curiosity because this is wildly out of Jez’s wheelhouse. Having said that, I would add Al-Jazeera to your list.

If you don’t think it’s nuts for WNBA players to want to be paid the same as men,

Stop using logic. It’s all about FEELINGS, there’s no room in this conversation for cold, impersonal facts. Someone FEELS that the WNBA players should all make 1 million plus, even though they most likely have never been to a game, or bought a piece of merch.

It’s not functioning like a charity either. That is dumb.

To put it another way, if SCOTUS guts Roe v Wade and/or Griswold v Connecticut, and Democrats still have a majority in the House and Senate after 2022[.]

just because something operates at a loss doesn’t then make it a charity

The average WNBA salary (which was close to $100,000 in 2021) is just 1.5 percent of the average NBA salary (more than $7 million), according to NBCSports.

possibly including the Senator from Maine, who is openly pro-choice as a Republican

They need to make it simpler. Just pass a federal bill that reinstates Roe as the law of the land, and go with that.

Good call — good guys and gals with guns is what’s required here.
