Thread title reference: Canadian radio station plays Killing in the Name of on repeat for 10+ hours after DJs get fired

Everything still sucks
The Supreme Court is nakedly eviscerating rights and precedent
Trump tried to choke out a member of his Secret Service detail because they wouldn't let him coup the gov't (march with the rally rioters to the captiol)
The 1/6 committee is still doing its thing for an audience of 1 (the AG)

She's already dead. Time to weekend at bernies this.

Given how Boris’ last crisis was swallowed up by the Ukraine invasion, it wouldn’t surprise me if the Queen kicks it just before he turns in his resignation.

For scale, that picture represents a portion of the sky covered by a grain of sand held at arm's length.

Here’s a great comparison on how much better JWST is than Hubble at this scale.

Also, JWST put this composite together with about 12.5 hours of observations. Hubble took weeks to put together some of it’s deep field images. Shits going to be wild over the next months and years.

This is some crazy byzantine Da Vinci Code style J6/SCOTUS/Roe wackiness and I’m too tired to figure out if this is real, half real, or just the fever dream of some twitter rando.

All this is pointing out is 1) the conservative Christian organizing world is very small and incestuous, and 2) the Christian Nationalist movement has its claws deep in the Republican Party/Conservative movement.

Which is not great! They’ve spent 50 years organizing and getting in bed with a major political party. It cost them wider cultural power and relevance and possibly poisoned their well for generations. BUT they now have real political power for as long as Thomas, Alito, and Roberts draw breath.

Great lakes extremely don't count as coast.

Now here’s some grade-a pedantry.


Midwest has been and always will be a bullshit category. Even back in the 18th century when it meant anything west of the Appalachians (which would make California also Midwest).

It’s not hard. You’ve got the East and West Coasts, the South, the Great Lakes, the Great Plaines and the Southwest.

There, done.

Great Plaines with West Coast characteristics.


Kentucky is in a similar spot, Great Lakes with Southern characteristics.
