Re: Planet America
Meanwhile, if you really want to find an All-American hobby, look at lawsuits. Families of children killed in the Uvalde, Texas, massacre are suing, Facebook (i.e. Meta), the company that manufactures the AR 15, and the makers of "Call of Duty". I don't see a courtroom victory in their fut...

Re: trump off the CO ballot
(I'm putting this here because it's kind of an election thread) I had a sort of political fantasy that, if Joe Biden were actually doing it, it would be brilliant. He's not doing it, but he ought to be. So.....here's the scheme. Imagine it's all planned in advance. Joe and Don have agreed to debate ...

Re: Headlines that signal that the story will be misleading and/or stupid
Classic misleading clickbait headline today in NZ's Stuff, as it trumpets its winning awards for media. King Charles and Prince William abruptly cancel royal outings Given the recent cancer diagnoses of Chuck and Kate, I'd bet 90% of people seeing that headline went "OMG, something bad happene...

Re: Headlines that signal that the story will be misleading and/or stupid
Don't know how you get that. “the fundamental principle that racial discrimination in public education is unconstitutional.” Read what follows that line (from Brown v. Board of Education ) in Justice Thomas' opinion... ... Looks to me he is quite clearly saying that these things are not the court's...

Re: Headlines that signal that the story will be misleading and/or stupid
I din't need much more reading. In today;s ruling, https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/23pdf/22-807_3e04.pdf, Thomas didn't criticize Brown at all. He criticized Missouri v. Jenkins. ETA: And, actually, lower court rulings in Missouri v. Jenkins. Anyway....law gets complicated. However, what isn'...
