I also remember at least some scientists at the time arguing that climate change was a better term because people are particularly stupid about the term global warming when it paradoxically results in some places having a greater number of and more extreme cold events.

That’s how I recall the term climate change coming into favor, too.

All it’s going to take is Dem voters to actually fucking show up. Harris and Biden both received more votes in Texas then did Abbott in his elections. We only had 45% turnout in 2022.

more like monetizing the Dunning Kruger effect.

Over 200 people died in winter storm Uri, we had the Uvakde shooting, and then 2022 had insanely low turnout (like 45%) and the Republicans held onto control at all levels in the state. This is another absolutely tragic loss of life, but I’d be surprised if it impacts their votes (Abbott won Uvalde county).

I’m just hit the god damn stop/cancel button if you want to stop it before the timer reaches zero.

Fucking Monster.

How’s life on the pro chess circuit?

Is there a weather service that doesn’t?

He needs to make sure they know AI regulations prevented proper forecasting and maybe the victims should have had more guns.

What is the other sides’ argument for why we SHOULD have billionaires?

They think they’ll get a chance to bootstrap themselves into being one.

I don’t recall the department of Justice questioning the national injunctions legality at that time though, tbf.

That’s all this ruling is about, whether a circuit court can issue a national injunction. I’m assuming that this specific question hasn’t been asked to the SCOTUS before (because it’s a stupid question that shouldn’t have even been entertained). The EO is still enjoined in the jurisdiction of the circuit courts where a challenge to the EO has produced an injunction. So the EO itself is still going through the courts.

I know. But it is different overturning a 70 year old precedent set by judges who have all since died, versus overturning your own precedent set <5 years ago with all of the concurring judges still on the bench.

If something is unconstitutional then it’s unconstitutional.

Correct. But, perhaps sadly, I’m reminded of the scene in Pirates of the Caribbean when Will is complaining about rules and Jack says the only rules that matter are what a man can do and what a man can’t do. The Constitution only matters if we have enough people willing and able to enforce it. And if the Trump administrations have taught us anything, it’s that we need every fucking assumption to be litigated.

Well that’s the thing with SCOTUS. You have to ask them to have an opinion on something. They probably wouldn’t have had a problem with national injunctions under Biden if that authority had been challenged in court. And then we would have already had that precedent from literally the same judges for to rely on now.

Not for a regularly scheduled general election. Only the primaries and special elections

Because then I could know that I could control where the data went.

It being open source doesn’t mean you can mosify and run your own software on it and still have the agency accept you are compliant.

The liberal candidate who lost (Cuomo) has announced he is going to run in the general as an independent (which is in OP’s link), instead of supporting the nominee. So Cuomo primary voters may split from the Democratic nominee in the general for Cuomo.

So glad I never got on WhatsApp
