    Politics “White Freedom “

    Only natural in what universe? The Che Guevara shirts came in red, of course, but also other colors. Why would what he was wearing be the color of the design? Is it only natural for the Vietnam War Memorial to be fatigue-colored because that's what our soldiers were wearing when they died...

    Off-Topic How Did Matter Come into Being?

    This theory reminds me of luminiferous aether. It reifies the contradictions of our theories as properties of the universe. Couldn't explain the motion of Mercury? Wave propagation through space? Cool, just hypothesize that the universe fundamentally is of a nature that those problems go...

    Off-Topic How Did Matter Come into Being?

    Yeah, but it's got that title wrapped up by at least 50 orders of magnitude, I think. It's like a football team that not only goes 0-11, but loses every game by at least 100 points.

    But seriously, who is going to believe "war ravaged"?

    Off-Topic How Did Matter Come into Being?

    It is hard to grasp just how wrong that prediction is. I was trying to come up with an analogy and it's really hard. It's a hundred of orders magnitude more than the difference in size between sun and a proton. I thought someone had determined that the QFT projection was "only" about 95...

    Politics Trump Retribution Phase | COMEY INDICTED

    Somebody needs to sue Stephen Miller for defamation. Lisa Monaco, Comey and Brennan especially. Sue the pants off that motherfucker. Squeeze every last red cent out of him.

    Off-Topic How Did Matter Come into Being?

    1. That Douglas Adams joke is a reference to a much older idea, coming from Hinduism. The idea of turtles all the way down appears to have been popularized in the 19th century. One of my law professors loved that joke and I doubt he was conversant with Douglas Adams (though that's just a...

    Politics SCOTUS Catch-all |

    Fuckers up to no good again. This time, they say the Impoundment Control Act says the opposite of what it actually says, and that it preempts lawsuits under the APA. Congress was so mad about Nixon's impoundments, the story goes, that it made it harder to hold the president accountable for...

    Supposedly this new company will be worth $14B. That's like TikTok's right toe. What are they getting actually?

    Politics Trump Retribution Phase | COMEY INDICTED

    It doesn't matter. They have to prove intent. You don't get to say, "gee Comey is lying because he said something mistaken." It isn't even actually clear that there was any inconsistency in the testimonies.

    Politics CURRENT EVENTS July 31-Sept 27

    Yeah, not at all surprising. I think we're going to find out that youth football players have a lot more brain damage than we think. Didn't we have an OL like 30 years back who was kicked off the team and then prosecuted for something horrible, like raping a child or something. I mean...

    Politics Trump Retribution Phase | COMEY INDICTED

    Fuck him for the Hillary email BS, absolutely. I don't give a shit about him. But Trump must be defeated, from the outset, on this campaign of retribution. It is far, far, far more important to the country that the attempted reign of terror be stopped in its tracks than Comey getting his just...
