    The US Supreme Court and its decisions

    I'm hoping you're wrong about that. If only left leaning people can get motivated to vote in the midterms, we might be able to stave off a further backslide. Texas law should still be ruled unconstitutional based on interstate commerce law, though. One state has NO right to regulate what...

    Nobody has the intention to invade Ukraine

    Adolf Hitler vehemently denied having Jewish ancestry, Zelensky proudly declares his heritage, a rather key difference, methinks. Russia is getting desperate trying to paint the Ukrainian government as a bunch of neonazis.

    DeSantis is having a broken clock moment. Savor it while it lasts.

    The MST3K thread by Gizmonics

    Yes, the second half Crow was better than the first half. My understanding is something happened behind the scenes regarding Nate Beagle, who was supposed to voice Emily's Crow and they had to redub several of her episodes with the new voice actor, since Nate had already recorded the riffs for...

    Russia is the real life equivalent of the Cardassian Union essentially.

    Nobody has the intention to invade Ukraine

    The Russian government has been corrupt since it's inception. Putin took advantage of that fact to get into power in the first place, so I won't hold my breath.

    Nobody has the intention to invade Ukraine

    Yup. Russia has essentially lost the entire Baltic region IF they decide to increase hostilities, they've pretty much lost access to the Baltic Sea. Don't think their ports in St. Petersburg and Kaliningrad would last long if a full anti-Russo war broke out. Even if those hold out, the...

    Looking back on the 2003 Iraq war

    I'm not so sure of that. The war on drugs took place over a MUCH longer timeframe and calculating how many deaths it lead to is tricky.

    Nobody has the intention to invade Ukraine

    Russia somehow got Scandinavia to unify against them. Good job Putin, you've done gone and pissed off the descendants of the Vikings.

    Yup, the whole thing would make a GREAT Mel Brooks movie, if people weren't actually dying.

    Eh, the way things are going, if he gets buried in Florida, he'll likely end up at the bottom of the ocean anyway.

    What stupid thing did the GOP say or do this time? Episode 3!

    Two villains fighting each other, essentially. No matter who wins, Floridians lose. Question is which is worse at the moment? A capitalistic monstrosity intent on making money no matter what, but mostly limited to the entertainment industry, or a power-hungry fascist pandering to hypocritical...

    What stupid thing did the GOP say or do this time? Episode 3!

    All communication would have to be done outside of Alabama, same with treatments. Doable by someone with enough money for travel expenses. Once again hurting poor trans kids more than wealthy ones

    What stupid thing did the GOP say or do this time? Episode 3!

    According to constitutional law, you can't be charged for violating the law in one state for services rendered in another state as long as said activity is legal in the state it occurs in. Does complicate logistics, though, especially for the poor.

    Nobody has the intention to invade Ukraine

    All Russia has to do is end the invasion of Ukraine and pull back to pre Feb 24th positions and they can pay their debts. Russia started this, they have the power to end it. It was an internal force that resulted in the sanctions after all, not an external one.

    Nobody has the intention to invade Ukraine

    Just wish they could be removed from the security council. They SHOULD have been removed when the Soviet Union collapsed, but the charter wasn't set up to handle that sort of situation so they let the Russian Federation have the old USSR seat being that they were the largest chunk carved out of...

    The Nintendo Thread of Jumping, Slashing, and Home Decorating

    We were also supposed to get a full-on remake of Mario 64, according to Internet rumors, and that turned out to be simply a remaster of the original game.
