1/ In U.S. v. Rahimi, the US Supreme Court kills the history & tradition test penned only 2 years earlier in NYSR&PA v Bruen to answer 'yes' to the question: is 18 U. S. C. §922(g)(8)--which prohibits guns to those subject to a domestic violence restraining order--constitutional?

@RapidResponse47 "[N]obody's talking about them"... ...says the President of the United States as he talks about them. A lot. 🙄

@dhu199 @GamewithDave Counter-point: As good as the music of E33 is, I found very little of it to be memorable. Maelle/Alicia is my favorite track, but right now I can't recall how the melody goes. That's a problem I don't ordinarily have.

@GamewithDave Theres no other suggestion that even compares. Expedition 33 was the best game I've ever played. The soundtrack was unreal. I still have multiple songs from Lorien on my Spotify.

What game is this?

@GamewithDave Final Fantasy X

@Tusharufo2 You are free to opt out of the social contract at any time by leaving the nation.

Here’s why Social Contract theory is stupid 👇 1. Anarchists explicitly ask not to be governed, and past consent cannot bind future generations who never signed or accepted any such agreement. (someone planting a tree for posterity does not thereby force future generations to eat its fruit.) 2. What is often called implied consent like voting, or paying taxes, is not real consent because these actions occur choosing least harm or coercion rather than free choice. 3. People cannot meaningfully agree to unknown future laws they neither understand nor have the ability to reject. 4. Being such an important contract it lacks even the most basic features of some basic cobtracts such as identifiable consenting parties, signatures, and voluntary acceptance by those it governs. 5. Majority rule does not equal consent either, since those who disagree are still coerced into compliance. 6. Most importantly, since in a free market individuals could obtain the services typically provided by government from competing private providers, but are prevented from doing so by the state’s enforced monopoly backed by force, this arrangement cannot be described as a necessary contract.

@Ravenismeee Probably this one.

Without telling me your age… what was the very FIRST video game you ever played?

@pmddomingos Taxing consumption instead of income is punishing people for staying alive.

Taxing income instead of consumption is punishing people for saving money.

@Shadzey1 Sounds like the organizers are trying to maximize their liability for injuries that worsened for lack of medical aid immediately following the inciting event.

If you were planning to go to Coachella…don’t.

@GunOwners Was anyone ever unironically in doubt that the same guy who banned bump stocks of all things is truly anti-gun?

What is happening in the "most pro-gun Administration in history?" Because from our point of view it's not very "pro-gun."

@SonOfAristotle @legalstyleblog So this is what the far left side of the dunning-kruger curve looks like.

@legalstyleblog Miranda should be overruled. The best time to catch a criminal is at and shortly after arrest. Lawyers do nothing but lie and obstruct. No one has a right to get away with crime. Everyone should know their rights.

At this point there needs to be a modification to Miranda where the suspect is handed a copy the sacred Spell of Attorney Request to know how to chant the specific words magically invoking the right to counsel.

@LibertyCappy The Libertarian Party, as it sits right now, advocates for national divorce. They are not at all like the founding fathers.

Republicans say Libertarians are basically Democrats that don't like government Democrats say Libertarians are Republicans that like weed and hate war Meanwhile Libertarians actually are those that want extremely limited and restrained government, like the founding fathers

Gun violence violence is as real as the empathy feigned by Giffords for victims of violent crime.

@blip_tm Chores exist sequentially in ~15 minute intervals. Add them up to see the whole picture. Weekend: -Make bed -Wash/dry/fold/store laundry -Remove dog poop from lawn -Rake leaves/mow both lawns -Sweep/mop/vac all floors -Dishes to/from washer -Wash windows -Wash cars -and so on

i don't know why "robot that folds laundry" is such a pervasive idea it takes a maybe 15 minutes to fold laundry, or i can take my laundry to a laundromat and get it washed and folded for $1.50/lb it's just not a big enough chore to justify an expensive purchase like a robot!

@DirtyTesLa This is a serious shortcoming of the technology. Finding a parking spot in a crowded parking lot is an aggravating task that people would love to automate.

Here is what I'm talking about with parking loop. I saw this in several different areas, but here's a good example of current behavior in 14.3

@FearAndMadnUS @HansMahncke What are you disputing? That the price tag went up for CA's rail project?

@HansMahncke Does anyone actually believe anything SeeBS says during an election year? The right-wing said the same thing about light rail in Washington, but here we are with one of the best light rail systems in the world.

If you gave away $126 billion to subsidize free flights between LA and San Francisco at current demand levels, you could fund roughly 150 to 200 years of travel before the money runs out.

@mdtkco @CollinRugg You mentioned lack of concern, not judgment, in your initial post. I think both concern and judgment should be withheld until sufficient facts are known.

@DavidDavid97609 @CollinRugg That's plausible for sure. More than likely this guy is a scumbag & things escalated quickly. Being cop & making these kinds of quick judgments definitely isn't be easy. Would still rather know the whole story though before making snap judgments. Ya know?

NEW: Car slams into a brick wall following a failed grappler attempt in Riverside County, California. Deputies were seen trying to use their new grappler system just moments before the car slammed into a wall. A man in his backyard was seen running just as the car made contact with the wall. It is unclear if the suspect is injured. H/t: @PupscanLA

@sebatamathibela @DerrickEvans4WV @elonmusk I don't know what that is intended to mean.

@DavidDavid97609 @DerrickEvans4WV @elonmusk Yts

Elon Musk: "I'm in this absurd situation where I was born in South Africa but cannot get a license to operate Starlink because I'm not black. Does that seem right to you?” @elonmusk doesn’t let her off the hook. “I asked you a question…yes or no?”

@sebatamathibela @DerrickEvans4WV @elonmusk Name a prominent racial or ethnic group that has not benefitted from crimes against humanity.

@DerrickEvans4WV @elonmusk Just like any other apartheid apologist that Neo Nazi fool grew up like this He benefited from crimes against humanity (apartheid) He can keep his starlink we don’t want it

@DerrickEvans4WV @elonmusk We should see more of this kind of pushback. I would have pointed out that her pattern of making responsive comments makes the interaction a conversation, not an interview, and that she is being a rude conversationalist by ignoring questions.
