"ALL POSITIVES WITH NO NEGATIVES" says the tremendously unpopular president who routinely violates the Constitution presidents swear to "preserve, protect and defend".

“How can I return him to the United States? Am I going to smuggle him? Of course I’m not going to do it,” Bukele said while sitting beside President Donald Trump. “The question is preposterous.”

Ideally you would return him because the president of the United States asked you to, but I suppose Trump doesn't think the Supreme Court's ruling that the US government needs to "facilitate" Garcia’s return requires such an extraordinary level of effort.

He told congress to kill a border bill before he'd even been elected. It doesn't matter that he doesn't officially have power when the Republicans are afraid of him.

From the CNBC article that is the source for the linked post:

Trump’s suit was filed in U.S. District Court in Amarillo, Texas, effectively guaranteeing that it would be assigned to Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk, a Trump nominee with a conservative judicial record.

That gives Trump a much better chance of winning than you'd think from only reading the Political Wire post.

Trudeau also commented on the form of electoral reform:

He said one of his mistakes was leaving the door open to proportional representation when he did not plan to pursue it. The other, he said, was “not using my majority to bring in the model that I wanted”—the ranked ballot.
Trudeau said he believes a ranked ballot is the most effective at reducing polarization because it causes parties to moderate their message in an effort to pitch to be the second choice of supporters of other parties.
However, the system was dismissed by many of the Liberals’ opponents who noted that as a centrist party the Liberals were likely to receive more second-choice votes and be the primary beneficiaries of such a model.

He regrets not using his first-past-the-post majority to push through a change to the electoral system that would mainly benefit his own party.

I wonder why women would be "more depressed and unhappy than they were four years ago", and "less optimistic and confident in the future than they were four years ago"? Might it possibly have something to do with what his women-hating appointees have done in the last four years? No, must be Biden's fault. /s

I deleted my account when I discovered that bullshit. LinkedIn's new opt-out AI data gobbling has me this close to deleting that account too.

Edit: Fuck it, I just saw Ars' article with LinkedIn's response. Bye bye LinkedIn account.

Apparently "recordable media" here means the kind you can record on at home, e.g. CD-R, DVD-R.

Why are "addictive feeds" OK for adults?

I don't suppose the people responsible for the over hiring have seen any consequences?

At this point there are people in their forties who had access to online porn as minors. Have any actual studies been done to show that a significant portion of the many, many people who've grown up in the last 20-30 years have been harmed by having access to online porn while they were younger, or are these laws just something that's trendy at the moment?
