Yeah most doctors refuse CPR. Very few people receive CPR and then have a good quality of life afterwards.

Here’s an NPR article on it: https://www.npr.org/2026/06/30/nx-s1-5827039/supreme-court-campaign-finance
Backed by the Trump Justice Department, they contended that the only justification for imposing a fundraising limit on parties is to prevent corruption, but they maintained that there is no evidence that the law has prevented corruption.
We had the world’s richest man purchase his own government organization in the last election, but somehow we’re not worried about corruption?
While working on some client code, my coworker and I came across a case statement that said something like
if myBoolean == TRUE
then blah
else if myBoolean == FALSE
then blah blah
else if myBoolean is null
then blah blah blah
Ever since we’ve always laughed at the “trinary bit”.
Almost as if the Founders who wrote the 1st amendment could see this coming.
Journalists using soft language when discussing blatant reality bugs the shit out of me.
In a video shared by the congresswoman, Trump appeared to be shutting his eyes for a period of time while sitting in his seat at the game.
Just say he was sleeping. I get they do it to avoid libel lawsuits. But fuck it. It’s USA Today. Make him sue you and take you to court.
As an American, I visited Normandy and the people there were very kind and welcoming to Americans. You’ve gotta be a huge fuck up for the people there not to like you.
TLDW; billionaire Michael Bloomberg is behind multiple laws in mostly blue states to require spyware be added to all 3D printers under the banner of “gun control”.
He’s attempted to hide this as a grassroots effort, when in reality it’s nearly completely funded by him and his organizations. There’s a call to action to contact your representatives if that legislation is being proposed in your state and voice your opposition to letting billionaires control what you can and cannot 3d print.
Follow up to this post from yesterday. https://sh.itjust.works/post/61272410
The video specifically calls out Creality from a few years ago - and also the Bambu stuff recently.
I thought he made some interesting points about how ultimately this type of legislation is just encouraging 3D printer manufacturers to just abandon open source, something they’ve been trying to do for years.
This video perfectly summed up a lot of my thoughts from this post yesterday talking about a similar law in California.
There’s a saying that goes “A burden shared is a burden halved. A joy shared is a joy doubled.”
Having a few close friends makes bad times suck less and good times even better.
The IRS probe revolved around whether Trump doubled-dipped in cutting his taxes, according to a 2024 report by The New York Times and ProPublica — specifically whether he used the same losses from his Chicago skyscraper to cut them twice in future filings, a big no-no.
What the fuck kind of shit ass reporting is that? “A big no-no”? What are we, fucking toddlers? How about highly illegal and a felony deserving of prison time?
“Look, it’s not that I love it. You want to see farm prices drop. You want to see farmers lose a lot of money, just take that out of the market.”
What the fuck? How is this a real quote?
Super lame. Seems like Polis caved to the pressure Trump was putting on him. Always shitty to see the bad guys win.
Stop poking meeeeee!
Yeah, this is clearly a big deal. They started having an election and then cancelled the election after it had already started so they could redraw the districts and get a better outcome.
Could you imagine if they started voting for the presidential election and then they were like “hang on, we didn’t like where that was going. Pause for a few months so we can redraw the districts”? People would (rightfully) be losing their shit.
Good point about people resigning early. That would probably be a problem no matter what. If someone was at 16 years, they would probably be incentivized to retire early if they thought the next president wouldn’t be from their party.
Right now, judges almost never resign, so they just happen to die whenever most of the time, which allows conservatives to replace liberal judges and vice versa (in theory). Resigning early would likely be a huge problem.
Might have to do something like say each president gets to nominate a maximum of 2 justices. Those two justices being the people with the longest tenure on the court. If someone dies, that counts as nomination. If the president has already used their 2 nominations, then the next president will appoint a replacement.
Seems pretty straightforward. But do we really want to give Trump a chance to get 3 more justices that will rule the courts for the next 18 years?
It’s actually scary that it doesn’t seem like any journalists are trying. I thought we had a few independent ones left, but apparently not.
