Apparently, in the very clear minds of Republicans, if you got busted drinking at a college party at any point after Oct 7 2023, that’s sUpPoRtInG hAmAs nOw and you deserve to be deported to Gaza.
…Guess RFK’s not the only politician with brain worms
…That’s why people don’t like the service fees, etc. It’s difficult to know, as a consumer, how much you’re actually being asked to spend. If you’re rich, haha who cares? Everybody else has to do this thing called “budgeting.”
At first I was like “hahaha” but then I looked it up and yes: https://www.floridabeef.org/raising-beef/cattle-in-florida
I didn’t realize the market was so fragile and needed conservatives to control it so closely. You learn something new every day!
It never went away.
They’re probably going to find themselves having to explain what it means that a social media platform is itself engaged in speech, instead of functioning as a platform for others to speak. TikTok users, whose voices are allegedly curtailed by the ban, aren’t exactly prevented from going to another platform.
If they say that it’s Tiktok’s speech that’s curtailed, they’re going to have to explain carefully how they’re not a foreign influence operation.
The language of the first amendment is pretty stark, but the courts have always understood it has various limits.
Somebody’s gonna make a federated TikTok, aren’t they? We’re gonna have TikTokers flooding the Fediverse. We’re so fucked.
Before long they’re going to start floating some modern version of an indenture contract for service workers and arguing for the reinstatement of serfdom.

What gets me is how controversial things like this are in the US. Non-competes are antisocial, because they blunt one of the few mechanisms capitalism has to keep employers in check – labor market mobility. One of the things that’s supposed to make capitalism kind of okay is the fact that “if you don’t like it, you can go elsewhere.” Well, if you’re not allowed to start a business or get another job in your line of work for like years after you leave, how the hell are you supposed to actually do that? How does the labor market route around bad employers when workers are literally trapped?
Way I see it, a non-compete is just an employer’s way of telling you they’d keep you trapped in a box in your off-hours if they could.
They excerpted Trump on the PBS Newshour yesterday at one of his latest campaign rallies. Apparently his stance on this is that Biden should have done the EV tarriff four years ago. Now, four years ago today, Donald Trump was President, but let’s not let that get in the way of a good speech, right?
