Took the kids to see the new Captain America movie. It was pretty good, but leaned too hard on suspension of disbelief (even for a superhero movie). No one really buys that an openly criminal President would ever be held legally accountable for his offenses—much less accept the verdict willingly.

Yes, backdoor mechanisms are very bad. But, the "impossible to do safely" framing has always bothered me. Key escrow systems are actually well understood and can be made quite safe. It's just that using one as a government controlled backdoor sets a terrible precedent and invites much broader abuse.

Does this count as trolling? Because I generally can't stand trolling, but this I like.

Our local GOP politicians are desperately racing to jump on the DOGE bandwagon. It's not gonna go anywhere in Illinois, but it will be interesting 18 months from now when they'll be up for reelection and just as desperately running away from the inevitable fallout of the whole DOGE mess.

If I were one of Elon's estranged kids I'd seriously consider offering my DNA to establish a family relation, just because it would throw a huge wrench in any effort to deny paternity. 😈

This is a handy link to keep around for responding to a post (or more likely an email forward) from that one particular person you know.

IIRC this has been a consistent trend since we got the weighted 2016 exit polls. Fact is that my generation is on average just pretty MAGA. Maybe that's what happens when popular culture during the coming-of-age years tends to glorify cynicism and being anti-establishment.

Good riddance to Madigan. Shame the odds of him getting retried for the remaining 12 counts under Trump's DOJ are very slim. And then there's the question of him actually serving out his sentence in a world where he can appeal to a pro-corruption SCOTUS or just suck up to Trump for a pardon.

My point is that the Legislative branch is supposed to call the shots, but ceded too much power to the Executive over time, and gave the Judiciary a total blank check back in 1925 (Taft rolled 'em). So, any real reform will require a truly representative Congress pulling much of that power back.

My most old school Conservative position is that the Constitution obviously does *not* establish three coequal branches: The Legislative branch is clearly supreme and the Judicial branch is the weakest. Although, modern practice is literally the opposite of the design, so it's all very messy.

Captchas are getting more and more complicated. I just had one that made me type window-R followed by ctrl-V.

Well, now I have to come up with some productive use for this... 🤔
