Paul Newby, a born-again Christian, has turned his perch atop North Carolina’s Supreme Court into an instrument of political power. Over two decades, he’s driven changes that have reverberated well beyond the borders of his state.
These crazy religious nutjobs need to be forcibly dragged from their offices and kicked to the curb. They're everythjng wrong with my state my country. Dumb as shit, openly flaunting laws, and treating every kind of pushback as discrimination and all the while demonizing the public education that would otherwise expose them for the liars and idiots they are.
"Behind the closed door…he set aside decades of institutional precedent by not gathering the court’s seven justices to debate the legislature’s request in person, as chief justices had historically done…
…Justice Phil Berger Jr., Newby’s right-hand man and presumed heir on the court, circulated a draft of a special order agreeing to the rehearing…Berger’s accompanying message made clear there would be no debate…giving them just over 24 hours to respond."

I would make so much hay over that threat. I mean certainly whatever jihad should never be discussed because it’s totally outrageous, right? Honestly, if you can beat them into making a big public stink about it I think it would be hilarious.
I personally offered you my evidence of ongoing geoengineering over NYC and you declined to even look at it. So is this post simply a lie or something more nefarious?
ma boh niente è che ho visto in una RSA questa rivista per i nostri anni d'argento con questa copertina e il rimando in basso a destra all'intervista di Boosta e son rimasto tanto contento che anche lui ha ancora tanti interessi

Die Feder wird in einer geraden Linie betrachtet und ihre spiralförmige Form ist gut sichtbar. Der Hintergrund ist einfarbig und hellgrau. Die Feder scheint auf einer glatten Oberfläche zu liegen.

This is pure insanity, and will make us much less safe. Salt Typhoon, you might recall, was a recent direct attack on US telecom infrastructure, probably by China, and probably exploiting "lawful access" wiretapping interfaces.

That’s not standard issue anything, and the fact that federal agents now present themselves in this manner only highlights how little difference exists between this clique and the criminal narco-gangs they claim to oppose. journa.host/@theintercept/1154…

"sideloading" and "third-party app stores" are not the same thing.
I hate that Google is locking down app distribution, but the argument that you should be allowed to put "whatever software you want" on your computing device does not apply to letting other unaffiliated organizations automate the distribution of user-submitted applications.
Think "downloading a build from the project's GitHub repo" VS "running 'npm install' to get builds of things from a company trying to profit from gamifying random people distributing other people's work."
Sideloading is good. App stores are bad.
We could absolutely have the good without the bad here, but the company who makes the operating system makes so much money from the bad option that they really, really want to prevent other organizations from doing so as well. To the point that they're willing to make actual sideloading extremely distasteful in order to do so.
Es ist mir immer mehr ein Rätsel, wie manche Behinderte (zumeist Tokens) zu dem Schluss kommen, dass nur weil es ihnen an Sonderschulen gut ging, es diese Schulform und die damit einhergehende Aussonderung (sprich Diskriminierung, Abschiebung, Unsichtbarmachung) benötigt und nicht das Schulsystem ansich angefasst und verbessert werden muss.
Literally niemand sagt „Sonderschulen abschaffen“ ohne auch Kritik an Regelsystemen zu üben, weil das gar nicht geht.
Mein heutiges Lieblingsquatschargument der Verfechter*innen von diskriminierenden Systemen: In einer Klasse mit 30 Kindern ist kein Platz für individuelle Förderung, aber in Klassen mit 8 Schwerbehinderten dafür umso mehr.
Oh boy, wo fang ich da an? Schüler*innen mit Behinderung bedeuten idR einen erhöhten Betreuungsaufwand, ja. Aber der ist so individuell und unterschiedlich, auch bei Nichtbehinderten, dass sowas zu sagen doch einfach gar keinen Sinn ergibt?
So, zurück von unserer Flusskreuzfahrt nach Budapest und zurück. Koffer wieder ausgepackt und nun muss ich mir den Kaffee wieder selbst machen (dafür ist’s dann auch ein Kimbo 🤗). Gerade hab ich etwas über 500 Bilder aufs NAS kopiert und freue mich auf das „Aussortieren“ 🤪 Blogpost zur Reise kommt später, aber das TL;DR: mit dem Schiff im Herbst auf der Donau — allein die 35km durch die Wachau sind die Reise wert.
Samsung’s high-end Galaxy Buds 3 Pro offer great noise cancellation, an IP57 rating, and the ability to automatically switch between a host of Galaxy devices.
The Trump regime thought they could flood the zone and the judiciary wouldn’t be able to keep pace. They were wrong. Judges have been steadily building cases, blocking escape routes, and pushing back against the administration’s misconduct. The result? A series of court defeats that the White House can’t just sweep under the rug. thinkbigpicture.substack.com/p…

In January — once two newly elected #Republican justices were sworn in, giving the party a 5-2 majority — #GOP lawmakers quickly filed a petition...
