Duckworth tried to get the bill passed by a procedure known as ‘unanimous consent’ It’s a shortcut that lets a bill pass without having to go to a floor vote as long as no objections are raised.

In my experience pro-life people tend to be anti-IVF, so this doesn’t surprise me. IVF involves discarding embryos, selective reduction, and a general meddling with “God’s plans”. It’s not calling anyone out on hypocrisy that they don’t support IVF. There are certainly outliers, and plenty who are fine with IVF if…

During the pre-interview part, did Emily/Emily’s PR team really not come up with better anecdotes than that?

It should be interesting to see the reaction of EU authorities to this, since they already put him on notice about content moderation. They could hit him with one of those notorious “10% of global revenue” penalties.

It’s also like promising to repeal and replace our current healthcare system with the best healthcare system ever...which they’ll figure out any day now. Birds of a feather get fucked together.

Not sure why there is the confusion over superman. They were very clear post merger that they wanted Superman to be one of the 3 pillars of the DCU.

One way to prove that you’re really serious about cracking down on child exploitation is by getting rid of the team in charge of monitoring and deleting that content so that you can clear the way for your alternative idea to combat it(TBD).

Mercy Graves vs Harley Quinn? - I’d watch it. Heck, they both started on their respective, quality animated series as well

It would be nice if a celebrity once came forward about their child’s nepotism work and said, “honestly they’re bad and got the job because of me, but what are you going to do”.

I generally take stuff like that as “Break news! Working actor wants more work!” but with Frakes spending the vast majority of his time directing tv, it makes it seem a little more plausible.

I’m probably being very naive, and I’ll admit that, but I read both Frakes and McFadden’s comments as being “The band’s back together!” and I like it. 

The press have lost the plot and it shows in their unpopularity. There is no informational value to this wedding. This is about the reporters’ egos and their self worth being tied to access to the powerful/powerful adjacent. These “journalists spent months sitting on actual public interest information just to make…

The problem is that Jack Daniel’s was secretly planning a line of dog alcohol. 

I’m surprised that it went this far, but I’m hopeful, honestly, that a strong ruling would finally give some meaningful protection to for-profit parody.

Thank you. You’re doing the Lord’s work, posting a picture of the actual product in dispute (also the writer’s work).

Banana for scale:

John Scalzi has probably flagged the post for his lawyers.

Bad idea. He’ll die almost immediately.
