“In the West” is doing a lot of heavy lifting there. Utah has fuck all to do with forestry. Probably chosen due to lobbying and/or trying to choose a place as unpopular with forestry types as possible to criple the agency.

Well, can’t run the Kristi Noem commercial anymore. Time to spend another $192M.

This isn’t the hill to die on, but liberal states need to become comfortable with the idea that the Supreme Court’s rulings are advisory when they step out of bounds like this. The belief that we need to preserve the Court’s legitimacy because one day they’ll swing back to protecting people’s rights is a pleasant fantasy. They’re political agents and will be inserting themselves arbitrarily to advance their political causes for the next 30 years.

In the model of Venezuela as long as the actual top leader isn’t in charge anymore, it’s regime change.

The audacity to even ask him that question.

I think that’s just shotgun argumentation. Say all the reasons something’s wrong so that if one doesn’t move someone the other might. The problem in the “think of the process” argument is when it becomes the primary argument because it assumes the “don’t kill people” one isn’t important.

If it’s both “war is wrong” and “presidents siezing war powers is wrong” and Congress gives its approval, then that doesn’t take away her other criticism. She spends a lot more space taking about why the war is wrong than the process issue, but the process issue is also important because without taking back war powers statements of moral opposition mean nothing.

He’s not actually a prince. He’s the son of the previously non-royal wife of the crown prince from before the marriage.

“Grinds on”? It’s been 4 days and there’s practically nothing in my life that would even notice the DHS shutting down.

There are some juicy targets for Mario out there.

What the fuck are HSI even supposed to do in Italy? Is this like the KGB minders watching to make sure their athletes don’t defect?

Whether it is his intention or not, that is the impact. Politicians can be nice and still end up promoting injustice due to timidity or a bias toward finding solutions through slow and steady politics or court cases.

Ask yourself whether an external force protecting the federal building helps or hurts ICE. Walz, and political leaders in general, will always choose the “negative peace of the lack of conflict” over the “positive peace of the presence of justice”. It may not be his intention to promote ICE, but when you provide defense for an aggressor it further enables their aggression.

The National Guard took up guarding the Whipple Federal Building two days ago and now DHS’s foot soldiers have been freed up to attack protesters elsewhere.

Giving out donuts and coffee sounds nice, but this operation isn’t in any way about limiting DHS terror.

This doesn’t just set up a delay across the board to punish last minute by-mail voters. They can underfund or even more blatantly delay mail from Democratic leaning areas while rushing ballots from Republican ones to the processing centers. Oops, Republicans just get two extra days of voting.

The DNC should set up a program to send a letter every day from places with different political leanings and track the differences between the sent date and the postmarked date. It’s an expense, but likely a worthwhile one.

This, but without the implication it’s cheating. As someone who’s both a software engineer and trains ML models, choosing a language that’s commonly used for the general task area you’re tackling (ML or not) is very useful. If it’s popular for the task area you’ll have a lot of references for how to solve problems, you can find and use libraries designed and demonstrated for similar tasks, and yes, you can cut and paste code snippets.

Almost every language is capable of doing anything, and software engineers regularly use multiple languages in the course of their work. Libraries and support are a big deal in deciding which to use, and will often be more important than your personal language familiarity/preference.

Comrade Soda-Machine, is that you?

From the conservative Jerusalem Post no less. The article isn’t particularly focused on Nazi dad as a problem, but that they’d even headline it for what would otherwise be their chosen candidate is itself a choice.

It’s wild that this whole article seems to treat this as having any legal impact. How could you go through all the effort of writing an article and getting comments without doing the basic research about whether an executive order has any impact on state laws?

That sure is the company line.
