All the places that set up digital boards did it in the sweet spot where automation of the information was becoming cheap and possible but before apps became really popular. Cities looking at it now are just gonna shell out relative peanuts for an app and put up signs like that, because why spend more?

I hate having to look at an app though. Especially if you're underground and don't have signal.

Even if there is signal I need my phone for posting.

The linked article isn't particularly complete in its accounting; it may help to remember that the Hill is historically the more conservative of the DC tiger beat rags, and Juan Williams is a Fox host. Among other things, Sotomayor had disclosed all the payments, which were in different years, and part of existing publication agreements at rates generally within the norm for books of the type.

There is still a conflict of interest and you could argue that the publisher may not have published her book in the first place if it wasn't for the pending court case (the first case was the same year her first book was published). She didn't try to hide the financials or anything like that, but I think we can both agree she probably should have recused herself from any cases involving that publisher. Apparently Gorsuch also has (had?) a publishing deal with the same publisher, so he should have recused himself as well.

You really think someone would do that? Just go on the internet and be a llama?



It's one of those situations where like, it's objectively morally a conflict of interest and she should have recused herself in a perfect world...buuuuut it's probably not legally a conflict of interest that could get her in trouble by current rules, even if it totally should

It would not generally be considered a conflict of interest, which is why it wasn’t considered a conflict of interest at the time, and why Gorsuch’s similar agreements and the book deals by several other justices aren’t raising comment. You’re falling for the bad faith framing of a literal daily caller article.

Portraying John Q Everyman as a smiling, happy man who is totally tolerant and in favor of equality, only for him to express a transphobic talking point and immediately be screamed at by the most appallingly transphobic caricature imaginable is like being slapped in the loving face.

Fun question to ask people like this: if the Olympics started allowing trans athletes to compete in the gender category they say they belong in, how long do you think it would be before trans athletes dominate women's sports in the Olympics?

The IOC started allowing trans athletes to openly compete in 2004. It was 17 years before any trans athlete won a medal - an AFAB non-binary member of the Canadian women's soccer team at the 2020 Summer Olympics. While other trans athletes have competed, no trans athlete has otherwise ever won a medal at the Olympics.

Also, I see Lisa Benson still doesn't know what a witch hunt is.

That's how you get transvestigators. Once you see that the theory does not fit the data, they will begin adjusting the data to fit the theory. See what they did to Caster Semenya, to start.

No, it’s worse than that, because it’s “news item: a thing”; “cartoon: made up lies to support thing”

Like, Gamble consistently makes poo poo up and presents it as fact. News item: “migrant caravan arriving” Gamble: “it’s 7,000,000 refugees from Venezuela!!!!” News item: “police morale is bad” Gamble: “because ultra liberal cities are taking their guns!!!!”

Like, it’s amazing how it’s just absolute horseshit right-wing propaganda doled out as fact without any comic exaggeration or attempt to be funny. It’s just straight out “what’s the biggest lie I can tell about liberals for my aged and stupid audience to swallow up????”
