@NeilMcCaul5203 @MorosKostas It’s custom in a lot of courtrooms. But the statutory role is to interpret. It is not merely to signal assent to an administrative apparatus. Direct dictation, practical training and pro forma support are the limit of that discretion. There *is* a norm being violated here.

@ambientModality @MorosKostas I don’t know about that. In my experience clerks do much of the actual “typing” of an opinion, as well as orders. Some judges don’t ever type out a single word, but instead direct clerks what they want in an opinion/order

@DanFriedman81 You’re in the US. Most people will think your post is about women pretending to be men. The only two applicable terms for them are trans identified males and trans *men* (men that think they’re trans)

In the 2010s, there was a huge controversy over diversity in tech employment. Every big tech firm became obliged to publish statistics about how many women and minorities they employed. Trans women are tremendously favored under diversity hiring, because they count as both women and LGBT. The pool of qualified software engineers is so overwhelmingly male that a large percentage of “women” engineers are transwomen, and firms trying to hire as many women as possible will heavily favor them in hiring. This same principle is why the narrative design teams for so many big video games ended up being comprised heavily of gender weirdos.

Has anyone ever managed to explain why so many of the best software engineers in the world are trans women? And why this same pattern doesn't show up in other technical fields?

She's the beneficiary of massive harvesting efforts (legal?) that came very late in the run-up to the primary when it was clear that Pratt was likely to finish second in election-day results based on polling. These efforts likely diverted votes away from Bass from groups like teachers, nurses, college students, retired municipal employees, etc. Those are very large and organized Dem Party interest groups that can be instructed on how to handle employee ballots -- online encrypted messaging apps make large-scale distribution of such messaging very easy. Once it was know what would be needed -- Bass was going to win comfortably -- to squeeze Pratt out a large volume of Bass voters needed to send in ballots for Ramen. This is not difficult to pull out given the digital age and instant mass-comms with the groups involved.

It’s easy to believe. Bass is known. Her voters didn’t need to decide. They voted early. Nithya is less known and entered the race late. Her voters waited as long as possible to gather info before voting right before the election. She won the undecided late breakers.

@teafortillerman @ClarenceMaximus And of course in my mind the cases that apply that animus rule to homosexuality and trans status are entirely fine and rightly decided. But as I said, if you don't like those cases, the best argument against them is based on tradition, not eviscerating rational basis.

Scalia correctly said in Romer that the animus doctrine is absolute BS. The Court deluded itself into thinking that there’s a way to distinguish “reason-based” opposition to something from “animus-based” opposition. There’s no real logic there; there is only the Court’s moral judgment. A court could strike down ANY law on this logic. “Hmm, looks like you give murderers life in prison out of animus toward them. Sorry, struck down.” The ONLY thing that distinguishes it is a court’s judgment that animus toward murders is reasonable, in other words, their moral judgment that murder is ACTUALLY bad. The idea that the Fourteenth Amendment (LET ALONE the Fifth, which is what applies here) gives courts the authority to decide whether the like or dislike of conduct is morally legitimate is just insane. Would love if SCOTUS could use this as an opportunity to vindicate Scalia once again.

Mike Rogers (R-AL) and Adam Smith (D-WA) have introduced the United States-Israel Defense Technology Cooperation Initiative as part of the 2027 National Defense Authorization Act. The initiative would expand U.S. & Israel military cooperation with joint research, testing, manufacturing, and sharing technology. As well as promoting joint military training, information-sharing, network integration, and data fusion.

@Gbar47 @CurtisDaly_ We aren’t divided on the trans issues. No one supports or believes in them. The consensus goes one way The gender concept is designed to be as time consuming and incoherent as possible so people become disillusioned, injured, and unable to communicate and therefore coordinate

@eliotranch @JustMisogyny Inverting the terms as you have is still giving them that inch turned into a mile. Males are always going to be men. They’re trans men. Assuming anyone’s even willing to concede they’re “trans” when “transitioning” is a religious belief not shared by many.

I joined this site in 2023 because I was exhausted by the endless, reality-defying rhetoric around trans ideology elsewhere. At that time - just 2.5 short years ago - the accepted TRA wisdom was that transwomen aren't female but they are women. Then they started shifting to transwomen being 'female' like any other woman. Now they've shifted to the entire concept of 'biological woman' being made up. Ironically, this is the most accurate they've ever been. "Woman" already pointed to a biological reality. The idea of a 'biological woman' was a tautological attempt at compromise. A way to carve out a tiny sliver of womanhood that only women can occupy - so that we can have rape crisis centres or domestic abuse shelters or sports of our own. And now that is apparently bigotry. They really are the kings of 'give them an inch and they'll take a mile'.
J.K. Rowling@jk_rowling

Being biologically female means having a body that is observably organised to produce large gametes (eggs), as opposed to a body organised to produce small gametes (sperm). A woman is female whether her eggs have been fertilised or not. A man can never be female.

@Mschatnoir You’re understating their posture. They advertise, sponsor, sell tickets, record exclusive graphic interviews, raffle out citizenship, issue subsidies as rewards, then pay cash to discount the cost of round trip when the men decide to leave. It’s an entire rape economy.

@TheHegemony You do realize they have no incentives not to coordinate right? If neither party’s leadership is interested in democracy and it’s clear they can absolutely secure reliable sinecures for all future performances, why would they pick less wealthy, untested faces to fill the role?

Old guard Republicans like John Thune are clinging to the idea that they will be able to go back to the way things were once Trump is gone in 2029. Politics never go backwards, and the restoration of Bush/Pence/Romney Republicans isn’t going to happen. Accept your fate.

@XRP_Bart @SaaS_Veritas @awkwardgoogle >context matters Context you appear to be distorting. *Current* sentencing practices for dui manslaughter (2.5 years), stabbing (victim w/ 258 wounds = 5 yrs), csam (comm service, probation), and violent sexual offenses (3.5 yrs) are similarly lenient. Nothing was resolved.

Learning about how the first tree's injected acid into bedrock via their roots prior to loose dirt existing on earth so they could take in minerals. Wild stuff. This ended up causing 75% of life vanishing off the earth via mineral runoff into the ocean.

Several months ago I heard @TheBrancaShow say that the FedEx CEO, Frederick Smith left the company in 2022 and was replaced by Raj Subramaniam and that since then the quality of their service has declined. Since I learned this I started to take notice of FedEx drivers every time I see one and what I’ve seen is that 99% of all drivers are Indian. So while 2% of people living in Massachusetts are Indian, nearly 100% of FedEx drivers are Indian. Can someone explain this if we assume non biased hiring practices at FedEx?

Maybe I will delete this, but, anyone who has been seeing the posts I delete knows I've been having a really tough year. I don't want to give details because there are people who would enjoy hearing about my struggles. The knowledge of that holds me back. I have been dealing with some very personal issues, and learned that former friends of mine have decided to make me a pariah, they got together, found my articles, and somehow after seeing all I had done, made a kind of group decision, behind my back, to shut me out and disavow me. I just learned about this a few days ago. It's one thing to say, well, they were never your friends anyway, but it's quite different when they say outrageous things behind your back and other people believe their cult mindset, so that one former friend makes an effort to turn all friends against you. I will never back down, and I know that I have been speaking truthfully from my heart for years. There is nothing they could do to make me feel ashamed, but my former friends are trying. I understand on a personal level the toll this takes on people who speak out. It's depressing, absolutely, and our only comfort is each other, and the awareness that this is in fact a cult, one that needs to be shoved into the sunlight and exposed. But we'll never get back what we lost.

I do enjoy that the Anglo cultural norm of greeting people with “how are you” and both inevitably responding “good” even if they’re doing poorly is essentially just a quick ritual to establish the person has their shit together enough to not let their personal problems bother you
FischerKing@FischerKing64

One of the best aspects of Anglo culture is the "stiff upper lip." For example - maintaining composure at funerals. This is not just about self-control. It's also about not making other people uncomfortable.

Yeah this point does confuse me a lot. Dune is "a cautionary tale about messianic leaders" and yet in later books it's revealed that Paul's actions were the only way to keep humanity free. The messianic leader was in fact smarter than everyone else and had to use cold utilitarian logic to do what was best. He literally is a messianic leader saving everyone. That doesn't seem like the message people often scold you into taking away!
itamar@ItamarLevyOr

@AndyMasley You need to understand that even though paul atreides can canonically see the future, and is following the only course of action that persists humanity, he is actually a bad man.

You should ignore writers when they talk about what their writing "really means", because they're usually wrong. Frank Herbert wrote Dune as a warning against messianic figures, and against the concept of heroes themselves. He was frustrated people didn't understand this so in Dune Messiah he has Paul Atreides quote Hitler. But the truth is Herbert didn't understand. You can't ignore the rules of reality just because you insist they are wrong. Dune is an awesome story about the triumph of heroes because heroes as a concept is real, and cannot be destroyed.
