I don't follow the SC too closely; what's the read on Barrett? Is she trying to actually be a Judge, or just follow the political line?

She's been less reactionary than expected. She's very much of the skeptical of government power camp, but also she injects realism into some of her arguments. She's been more a wildcard than people thought she'd be.

The abortion comment is interesting because I read it as signaling that she's really incredulous at Idaho for banning basically everything everywhere all at once

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/krishnamoorthi-gallagher-tiktok-bill-calls-children/

quote:

Some TikTok users saw their phones flash Thursday morning with an urgent-sounding push notification: "Take action: Speak up against a TikTok shutdown." The alert linked to a page prompting users to enter their zip code, then provided them with a direct link to call their congressional representative. Lawmakers say their offices were inundated with calls as a result.

TikTok sent users an in-app notification to input their ZIP code and contact their congressperson and Congress immediately got a bunch of angry kids calling them. Rather than convince Congress to reconsider, it essentially showed them that TikTok was willing and capable of doing the thing they were accused of being willing and able to do. It spooked everyone and likely contributed to the strong bipartisan support for the bill.

It was the dumbest thing they could have possibly done. :lol:

I'm pretty sure that one was because Erdogan dialed him up and asked him to, and because he doesn't know or give a poo poo about the region at all and has a hotel in Istanbul he said sure.
I thought it happened like 15 minutes after Erdogan was on Fox News with Tucker or another dipshit and Tucker (or other dipshit) gave a softball question about US troops leaving the area, Erdogan said something like "That's a good idea" and Trump rolled with it. Being asked directly means Trump is doing a favor, but if Trump gets the idea by himself (while listening to others suggest it) he gets to be the action man.

edit: HANNITY! That's the other dipshit I was thinking of

maybe favorite thing about buttcoin conventions/events is that people are still using fiat currency or in the few times they actual try butts, its like a 30 second - a few mins of trying the app to get a transaction to finally post.

Kinda looks like this story is mixing blockchain and cryptocurrency. I think all RFKJr is saying here is that he would have all government transactions visible on a blockchain ledger, not that the monetary system would move to crypto.

Still an incredibly dumb idea

quote:

Kyle Rittenhouse is selling books, and ostensibly promoting the right to bear arms on campus, but he’s also trying to persuade young people to join the conservative movement. The key group behind the appearances, Turning Point USA, is led by the self-described “youth director” of President Donald Trump’s first campaign and a key ally rallying votes for Trump this year.

Rittenhouse’s message on his campus tour – that students should be allowed to take up arms, citing fears of terrorists invading dormitories – has sparked protests and raised questions about free speech and just how far it should be allowed to go. “Every American has a constitutional right to bear arms,” he said, “and it should not be infringed by a college campus.”

LMAO, good luck with that.

Right, it's a dumb idea all on its own. Effectively handing the fidelity of the ledger of US government transactions over to an increasingly consolidated group of miners who could collude to make the ledger say anything they want it to say.

there are really zero good use cases for blockchain, it does work as a neat proof of concept for how you might develop a completely trustless decentralized monetary system but it scales terribly and couldn't really work for any economy bigger than say, the city of Milwaukee. any proposed use case for blockchain could be done way more efficiently with a different data structure. i've heard so many stories of companies, even governments, that considered using it for *something*, but in the end essentially none of them actually do

every story scott pressler tells about going into a liberal coffee shop and hearing young liberals bad mouth the democratic party is absolutely true.

the second half of that story is the young liberal turning to their friend after pressler leaves and saying "who the gently caress was that lanky squirt of poo poo in the trump hat who kept leaning in to hear our whispered conversations on the state of politics today? i don't know how but his ears smelled like meat baking on a hot sidewalk and i'm never voting for trump now."

i'd like to see a video of someone decked out in full hipster regalia going to one of these hipster coffee shops and trying to start any conversation in the style of these far-right operatives' anecdotes
