But voting, like driving, is a privilege, not a Constitutional right. Oh, wait, voting IS a Constitutional right.
But not to the #GOP. The only Constitutional right there is, as far as they're concerned, is the right to "bear arms" according to the 2nd Amendment and according to the various conservative SCOTUS justices.

god conservatives love to whine endlessly if they don't get exactly what they want. They piss and moan at the refs and in the court of public opinion for ages and ages about how unfair something is.

This is an article from 1976 about the first Supreme Court decision kicking off the third-party doctrine, about a week after Apple Computers is founded. Found it on the CIA's website.
Windows is basically legacy abandonware at this point. Only using it because of the drivers, and even that is improving on linux at high speeds. We're a few months/years into a collective "bye, felicia" moment as we are all laid off/broketrepeneurs but we still get to choose our tools.
Oh the irony...using the very same play book of those they created an industry of and used for years to gain sympathy and here they are showing they are just as vile and evil individuals as anyone else and it was all a facade to murder and steal with impunity.
Filtering out PFAS is only the first step. These ‘forever chemicals’ still have to be destroyed, and there are many questions about how to do that safely.
"Dr. Farrar said such guidelines should be based on clear experimental evidence, though that evidence is still scarce for many diseases."
Does that mean that Farrar/WHO will accept *experimental* studies like exposing healthy hamsters to air from a room where sick hamsters were breathing, and if they get sick, that's clear evidence of airborne (excuse me, "through-the-air") transmission? Or will "experimental" studies turn out to mean "human RCTs only"?
The Kennedys are all gonna be in Philly today to endorse President Biden in show of force against RFK Jr.
RFK Jr.'s sister, Kerry Kennedy, will talk about her dad, former A.G. Robert F. Kennedy and her uncles, former President John F. Kennedy and Sen. Ted Kennedy

He may have discovered that Ukranians are Christians, which always seems to play a big role in his motivation. Wait till he hears what the Armenians have been through.
@kristen_d @jeffjarvis you get me. So many people complaining about links about sources about this about that… even here there is an abundance of whine
This is the game GOP leadership plays…act like they’re finally trying to do something positive, then pull the football away just as the kicker gets close to a viable solution, saying it’s not ready yet and blame the Democrats. Remember? They did a similar tactic on the border…
the entire split aid proposals are a ploy to get Israel aid passed, and to further obfuscate aid to Ukraine. It's a f*cking trap, and I'll bet anything that dems will fall for it. They'll vote to protect his speakership, for allowing the vote to happen, as he sticks a knife into our backs.
"If we continue to block this, our whole project to destroy America will be compromised. Putin will need to let Ukraine drag out a little longer to preserve our cover because otherwise it's just too obvious we work for him."
By the middle of the century, global emissions from plastic production could triple to account for one-fifth of the Earth’s remaining carbon budget, an analysis has found.
Instead of banning tiktok, would it be better to amend section 310 of the Communications Act to include social media companies as "common carriers"?
I honestly don't know--I just know that there is plenty of precedent for banning foreign ownership of communications mechanisms.
So let's recognize sm as communications mechanisms and regulate them as we do other comms methods (radio in this case) instead of singling out one company?
@Doctor Historianess Its a red scare/ racist scare. They want our white capitalists to have that data and manipulate our algorithms, not Asian socialists
@Doctor Historianess Yes but their Nation and government uses the word socialist, So by republican logic they are. Oddly, they don't have the same issue with India or Portugal which call themselves socialist nations in their constitutions

I feel that critters from German #folklore would be better known if they had snappier names. Or, in many cases, any names at all.
I know that the German language has a reputation for "having a word for everything", but the folk tales largely go for unnamed horrors. Which makes writing them up for #ttrpg monster manuals more difficult. 😉
