Eventually fix old hardware issues but introduce new ones with each generation. Classic Pixel.

Burying the lede here. This is the important part:

"I think this is all for political show. [Blanche] can withdraw it the day he enters office. He could issue a new order. The sons could sue to enforce it and they can settle a new lawsuit," said Rupa Bhattacharyya, a former Justice Department attorney who now serves as legal director for the Georgetown University Law Center's Institute for Constitutional Advocacy and Protection.

She told CBS News that nothing has ever prevented the Justice Department from using its existing legal authority to pay out timely administrative claims brought against the department by defendants charged for conduct on Jan. 6, 2021, under the Federal Tort Claims Act, either.

"There are all sorts of ways this can come back," she said.

This is likely a facade to get holdout Republicans on board. If Blanche is appointed as AG, he could resurrect it on day one.

We're seeing leadership announce support for Abdul now he's won, which is undoubtedly a positive, but you can't deny that for weeks they were throwing all their support for Stevens and concern trolling via CNN and MSNBC that Abdul was less "electable" than Stevens.

So satisfying to watch $60M of dark money go up in flames.

You don't need a control case to see that halting shipments of bombs and weapons to a nation commiting genocide would have saved thousands of innocent lives.

Given all the evidence by this point, Occam's Razor would suggest he is dead. Or comatose, at the very least.

Ah, so the election would be bipartisan? That makes sense for the Republicans but doesn't then explain why the Democrats aren't demanding the election go ahead in his absence. The fucker is obviously dead.

I mean, I know the Dems often act as controlled opposition, but this is just embarrassing.

What I'm not altogether clear on is how keeping his seat empty benefits Republicans. Doesn't this mean that they are short one vote in the Senate?

In the US, the market has soured on EVs and the federal tax credits have gone away.

Outside the US, China is eating their lunch.

Oh, you know -- the usual shower of Twitter chuds saw the racially diverse cast and took the film as a cultural assault on Western civilization.

They dismissed it as wokeslop before they had even seen it, and now that the movie is out and a critical success, they're beside themselves.

That third Belgian goal was pure comedy. The 4th was just the icing on the cake 🤌 A well deserved drubbing, all round.

One of his aides told the NYT:

“If he was to step down it would only be with a guarantee of being replaced by a candidate who he believes is true to the values and vision and policy agenda of the campaign that Maine voted for."

Fortunately, there is such a candidate - Troy Jackson. Despite being sidelined by the media during the primary, he's working class, a union guy, and a progressive. He has even been endorsed by the Maine chapter of the DSA:

The obvious move, then, would be for Platner to stand down and make way for Jackson to take up the cause.
