Huh. There is a Boise state plane here at this gate. - tRuMaN May 3, 10:42
Called both my Senator's offices (VA) - both are "outraged" and support abortion rights, only one is committed to abolishing the filibuster. - colin May 3, 10:36 5
- They’re going to lose the Senate in 6 months. They are fucking stupid if they remove the guardrails on power from the GOP. - Will Hunting May 3, 10:38 4
  - the GOP could have removed the filibuster at any time as they've had power.. it benefits them to keep it in place, they don't pass anything, why would - colin May 3, 10:41 1
    - The Dems can’t pass anything. The GOP will pass anything. I’m feeling a lot more okay with Dems being inept than taking the training wheels off evil - Will Hunting May 3, 10:43
  - I hate to agree but I do. IF they get rid of the filibuster in 6 months things are going to be so much worse - Remlik May 3, 10:40 1
    - i absolutely disagree. passing legislation that is very popular by whatever means will mean GOP have to go through the motions of rolling back -- (edited) - colin May 3, 10:42

- Every journalist has been given dozens of leaks from every one of these guys. Put them. - Will Hunting May 3, 10:55 1

Elon trying to line up additional equity funding for Twitter buyout to protect his own bank account -- (link) - znufrii May 3, 10:31 2

- Not surprising. He's one of the most leveraged CEO's in history - decline May 3, 10:32
Hmmmm it almost seems coordinated doesn't it? This is how every single right wing person is sounding off on this today. -- (link) - Jovian May 3, 10:31 1

Elon: Apple’s store is like having a 30% tax on the Internet. Definitely not ok. -- (link) - budice May 3, 10:24 7

- So the assclown that gave us PayPal (a non-avoidable option on eBay) is complaining about business taking a cut of monies? -- nm - Will Hunting May 3, 10:33 1
  - This is why he bought the platform. To attack companies people and institutions he doesn't like. -- nm - Jovian May 3, 10:35
- The source article is interesting. Elon's subsequent opinion is meaningless to me. -- nm - Mop May 3, 10:27
- YouTube takes a similar amount off the top for creators. -- nm - Beryllium May 3, 10:26 2
  - YouTube takes a cut of the money that goes to creators that use their platform? That's outrageous! -- nm - Mop May 3, 10:28 1
    - I wasn't expressing an opinion one way or the other. I do have opinions, but now you've stolen my resolve to post them, meanie! - Beryllium May 3, 10:33

DocStrangeMoM: "2 Hours of Fan Service" gets 80% RT -- (link) - budice May 3, 10:05 3
- This sounds just like the last Spider-man. I didn't care for it as a non fanboy, but the fans will love it. -- nm - MDH May 3, 10:15 1
  - Not from a RT perspective. No Way Home had a 93% RT rating. This will be lucky to be above 70%. -- nm - Inigo May 3, 10:25
- It's What If: The Movie. The MCU fans are gonna love it, but the general audience reaction is gonna be mixed (for an MCU film). -- nm - Inigo May 3, 10:11
Not religious, but the serenity prayer is helping today. - TWuG May 3, 10:00 4

If this is an accurate read on the situation (and I feel I can safely assume it is), the next decade or so looks pretty bleak for America. -- (link) - Beryllium May 3, 09:43 5
- add to that the GOP is ready to ban federally. they have young justices on the court that will clear these bad laws for not just a decade but decades -- nm - colin May 3, 10:22
- I hate people, especially politicians. Get out of people's bedroom and out of their private parts. Mind your damn business and let people choose - sycor May 3, 09:51 1

  - Throw Magnum PI in here as well. -- nm - MDH May 3, 09:40 1
    - "In a certain way, yes" also applies here. It's all the same show. It all comes from the same prototypal ooze. -- nm - Beryllium May 3, 09:44
  - No, but in a certain way, yes. -- nm - Beryllium May 3, 09:40
I'm in a fun and weird place with my oldest in that we're taking her to her first concert and it's a band *we* want to see too - Reagen May 3, 09:29 4
- A framed print of the concert poster makes a nice memento -- nm - rollo May 3, 09:57

Supreme Court says leaked abortion draft is authentic; Roberts orders investigation into leak -- (link) - budice May 3, 08:27 19

  - I wouldn’t discount the Ginni Thomas theory entirely. -- (edited) - znufrii May 3, 08:50 14
    - The last few years has shed a blinding light on the "its not *illegal*, it's just a long standing confidence/practice/rule," so people are bending it. -- nm - JaxSean May 3, 09:24 1

        Somebody was waffling; now they can't change their mind without looking compromised - Reagen May 3, 09:11 2
        
        I don't know. I think it's easy to say that this is a draft and drafts are always subject to change. You could easily argue that the blowback could - pmb May 3, 09:40
        
        Pretty obvious that judges can change their minds. -- nm - Spawn May 3, 09:16
        
        See Jovian’s post below -- (edited) - znufrii May 3, 09:10
        
        she's insane so motive may be irrelevant -- nm - mud May 3, 09:08

Schumer: "It is my intention with the Senate to hold a vote on legislation to codify the right to an abortion in law." -- (link) - mud May 3, 08:25 9
- Classic Schumer. -- (edited) - znufrii May 3, 08:36
- And what will that accomplish? -- nm - Beryllium May 3, 08:35 7
  - A great bit of political theater. - RelutantCynic May 3, 08:54 3
    - which can be a catalyst, which is not nothing. -- nm - mud May 3, 09:00 2
      - No, it's not nothing. But this is the U.S. Senate we're talking about. - RelutantCynic May 3, 09:16 1

Will we eventually learn the identity of the leaker? -- nm - prayformojo May 3, 08:14 17
- Who knows. But IMO it was almost certain a conservative clerk who agreed completely with Alito. -- nm - Jovian May 3, 08:16 12
  - I think it's the opposite - someone who worked for the liberal justices who was alarmed at what this represents -- nm - prayformojo May 3, 08:21 6
    - Could be. But it was stupid and shorted sighted decision then. This leak benefits the right overwhelmingly. -- (edited) - Jovian May 3, 08:25 5
      - If it had the result of locking the other justices, I would give more weight to a conservative clerk. (NM) - Marlowe May 3, 08:38
      - agreed and agreed, and agreed -- nm - mud May 3, 08:33
      - Yup. -- nm - znufrii May 3, 08:28
      - It makes me damn sure to go vote in today's primary though. -- nm - Volnelk May 3, 08:28 1
        
        This (and related responses) were going to happen anyway. I guess this pushes that up a bit. -- nm - psilotum May 3, 09:44

    - (although Ginni Thomas would be a hilarious resolution to this) -- nm - Reagen May 3, 08:24 1

    - *Dinosaur meteor.JPG* "oh shit, the legitimacy of the supreme Court!" -- nm - Reagen May 3, 08:22

- I don't know much about the inner workings of the Supreme Court, but it feels like the list of people with access has to be fairly small. -- nm - Volnelk May 3, 08:15 3
  - How many assistants/clerks does each Justice have? -- nm - Beryllium May 3, 08:16 2
    - Three to four clerks, plus a small support staff for each Justice's office. The Chief Justice has a few more support staff and supervises ... - RelutantCynic May 3, 08:56
    - I have no idea. Just basing it off of the fact that this hasn't happened before. If it was hundreds of people I assume we'd know every decision early -- nm - Volnelk May 3, 08:21
If anyone still has Twitter, can I get a couple likes on this…trying to get Strongbad into a prestigious FF charity league -- (link) - Flavorize May 3, 08:13 6

  - If you make it in we will need your team names to have some sort of a movie connection. - Spawn May 3, 08:30 2
    - If I get in, I will allow Spawn to decide my team name. - Strongbad May 3, 08:32 1
      - I would not do that to you. But Team Autodraft? Maybe! - Spawn May 3, 08:36

- I want a printer too. No clue what all I would use it for, but I want one. Maybe ST should group buy one and then it stays at someone's house. - sycor May 3, 07:34 7
  - I wonder if I could use the one at the library? It's just been sitting unused the past two years. -- nm - Meg May 3, 07:51 5
    - I think the idea of a 3d printer and actually using a 3d printer on the regular are two different things. I can't imagine why I'd actually use one. -- nm - Volnelk May 3, 07:53 4
      - This. We have a couple old ones from the library that we have yet to use. -- nm - Spawn May 3, 07:58
      - I have had a couple projects in mind that I could use one. But yeah, using it regularly to justify the cost is where I get hung up. -- nm - sycor May 3, 07:55 2
        
        Yup, this one is in the activity lab where kids work on all kinds of projects. It was actually donated by the manufacturer. -- nm - Meg May 3, 07:58 1
        
        That's pretty cool. I have a friend to works at NC State and they have one in the library. I haven't had a need to ask her to try to print - sycor May 3, 08:00
