TIL Supremes Opinions
I was frankly shocked how many justices Trump was allowed to appoint. And bewildered how little pushback came from the Dems. The decisions being made now were already set in motion in Trump's first term appointments imo, but so little was made of it then.
I recall Obama having to compromise on his appointments, and then literally giving up his last one to Trump.
And that's how you get a completely compromised Judicial branch I guess.

Corporations Want to Prevent Workers From Leaving Their Jobs
Some C-suite asshole really thought they were clever shoehorning that "TRAP" acronym in there. These people are just sociopathic children with too much money and power.

Good observations, but don't mistake simplicity for a lack of talent or effort. Minimal styles take a lot of effort to get right. You may only see one line for a mouth for example, but it may have been redrawn several times to get it just right. That takes both talent and effort.

According to an MIT study, relying on ChatGPT for stuff like essays and creativity leads to cognitive atrophy and such. What should I do when writing stories without ChatGPT and other AI chatbots?
Weird to frame this in a way where using LLMs is the default way to write. Is this what we've come to as a species?

Trump is using his tariff playbook against Iran. It’s not working
"playbook" is a generous use of that term

Booking.com under fire as hundreds of complaints lodged with Fair Trading
Booked a place for relatives to stay nearby. Found out an hour beforehand they had double booked. We had to scramble and find something last minute, ended up splitting the booking between two places to cover our dates, and spent almost double what we budgeted for.
Booking offered a $20 credit on a future reservation. Will never use them again.

Postal traffic to US drops more than 80% after trade exemption rule ends, UN agency says

Just to say, this is on par with how many dictatorships are run. Spur of the moment decisions and edicts, with no actual protocol or procedures behind them beyond "this is a thing now".
That way when you can't comply, you can be arrested, despite not being able to comply even if you wanted to.
They may decide one day you now need a certain license to practice your profession, but there are no forms or procedures to obtain this license. If you contact the head of that department you are ignored. However, if the govt wants to shut you down at any point (say if you happen to be publicly dissenting) they can officially say it's because you don't have that license. The one that is impossible to obtain.
Of course you continue to work, you've got to earn a living, but now maybe you'll keep your head down so the govt hopefully stays off your back.
I've kept it vague on purpose but it's a real example that I've witnessed in an actual dictatorship. Not that the US was ever perfect, but the past year should be alarming to everyone who isn't a fascist.

[Video] LA cops shoot woman trying to get to her home with rubber bullet
Wtf!! The curfew announcement sounded like it was for the freeways, but I guess they meant those were the borders... Worse than I thought. The announcement also said you were fine if you had a medical emergency or if you were coming and going home/to work. Apparently fcking not.
