The Former Guy was elected on a 2016 platform that formally supported "the right of the United States citizens of Puerto Rico to be admitted to the Union
as a fully sovereign state." [*]

That didn't stop McConnell from later denouncing Puerto Rican statehoold as 'full bore socialism'.

In 2020, the GOP eliminated that contradiction by declaring their sole program to be _Führerprinzip_.

After today's decision [*] by SCOTUS, we face years of litigation over which acts are 'official'.

Traditionally, a SCOTUS dissent closes with the words, "I *respectfully* dissent."

Today, Sotomayor closed with:
"With fear for our democracy, I dissent."

and Jackson closed with:
"In the meantime, because the risks (and power) the Court has now assumed are intolerable, unwarranted, and plainly antithetical to bedrock constitutional norms, I dissent."

If you ask Bing's AI Copilot,
" did Melania Knauss pose for Lesbian porn pictures?"

It starts to write a paragraph of a correct answer, then immediately censors itself.

This is a modern version of Tió de Nadal, a sort of #Catalan Christmas Log.

"Beginning with the Feast of the Immaculate Conception (December 8), one gives the tió a little bit to 'eat' every night and usually covers him with a blanket so that he will not be cold. The story goes that in the days preceding Christmas, children must take good care of the log, keeping it warm and feeding it, so that it will defecate presents on Christmas Day or Eve."

The Romanian word for 'war' is a Slavic loan word, and that's the funniest thing I've heard all morning.

Their very endonym comes from those ancestral conquering veterans who settled in Dacia, but they still had to ask some Slavic peoples what to call formally organized mass violence? That's just weird.

război < Old Church Slavonic разбои
(cognate with Croatian razboj and Russian разбой).
