Works really well for me as a basic reader (I only just now made an account). I switched to it after Jerboa started crashing for me, and I’ll probably keep trying new things for a while as everything is still up in the air.

Thank you so much for this. My kids had a couple fantasy series they liked read aloud and I remember the cringe of some well-written stories, but very black-and-white, racist stuff (I mean the races aren’t supposed to be real but that hardly matters). Understanding the stories as history written by winners makes so much sense – nation-building myths – and to read the story again from the other side is the perfect antidote while staying in the Good vs Evil realm of fantasy.

I hope it is that great, but to me success will look like several third party apps happily coexisting

I don’t see how it can be worse. “Energy to create the nutrients and maintain temperature for the cells” is something both the chicken and the lab have to spend. I’m happier to have a lab create meat from the cells up than farmers doing their best to create sacks of muscle that can’t stand up with a poor little head poking out the top, “full-grown” and killed in six weeks. Both are working to be more efficient, but it doesn’t look as good on a living being.

Very interesting, thank you. The Clean News solution sounds like what some US states are planning for age verification, supposedly keeping posters and readers anonymous for the purposes of the general public, but traceable by law enforcement. Maybe I’ve misunderstood, but I’m more comfortable having that kind of system applied voluntarily when posting certain media than by mandate to all users of a platform.

I’ve heard people trying to frame this that the supreme court should be “equal” in power to the other two branches, and that this would mean they can make law by basically rewriting things without arguing that they are unconstitutional.

This is stupid and would lead to there being no check on the power of the supreme court (not equality with other branches). The check was their own integrity to honor the law as congress wrote it, or the constitution if there is a conflict.

This argument played out in their decision to weaken a wetland protection act, not because it violated the constitution, but simply because they disagreed with it. That was the majority opinion.

If they can’t be censured in some way, it amounts to a slow coup.

His comment is funny. I trust and hope AOC knows what she’s doing, but to me this is pretty lame.

What do you think of the idea that if civilians are risking their lives to oppose you on their own land you are probably doing a wrong thing? Then, the protection of non-combatants should be applied very liberally. In a way this seems related to self-determination?

Post doesn’t mention land use either. Whole title is non-sequitur, or whatever the reverse of that is. I’m green and on the fence about nuclear but today’s “spontaneous” crop of braindead pro-nuclear memes is not helping their case.

Coverage of protests is so annoying. I’m not interested in how many tires are burnt or even whether the arsonists are “left” or “right”, please remind the reader what is all about. Curtailing the power of the supreme court to review legislation about WHAT? Freeing the ministers to enact WHAT? People are not jeopardizing their military careers over nerdy details of governance.
