From a certain perspective, it can be viewed as a race against time: will DJT ruin the economy before he can impose his vision of an authoritarian regime. In that case it can make tactical sense to delay his imposed measures for as long as possible. Hence, we get a massive number of lawsuits while the judicial branch still retains power. I don't think DJT's measures to limit immigration will be disfavored by a majority voters. Likewise, the focus on transgender is a side issue. It's all about the economy.

China’s CATL says it has overtaken BYD on 5-minute EV charging time They've almost caught up to gasoline-powered vehicles now, which have an average range of 413 miles per tank.

NASA’s Lucy Captures Stunning Views of Peanut-Shaped Asteroid in Latest Flyby The asteroid is named for the anthropologist who discovered the Lucy fossil in Africa. It looks pretty beat up.

Jubilost might not necessarily be available at that point.

I suspect he'll only be thrown under the bus when he makes DJT look bad.

My biggest issue with P:K is

Consuming more potassium helps keep blood pressure down, so I've been focusing on foods high in K. Like bananas, dried apricots, beans, unsalted potatoes, and various fruit juices. Apparently it causes more sodium to empty out through your urine.

I heard it's being made by some of the XCOM folks, so it could be decent.

I hope we're not going to see a Lysenkoism-like campaign in the USA, but that seems to be the way the right is trending.

US Supreme Court to hear birthright citizenship case on May 17 I am interested to see how SCOTUS rules on this issue, particularly with regard to birth tourism. Sounds like it all boils down to the interpretation of "jurisdiction" in the 14th amendment.

A slowly spinning universe could solve the Hubble tension If true, it presents a nice, tidy package for our understanding of the big bang.

Trump says he wants to imprison US citizens in El Salvador. That’s likely illegal I could see that idea devolving into a prison sentence for enemies of the Prez. Grab them in a midnight raid and ship them out of the country. There'd be little the Justice department could do to bring them back.

One of those deep songs.

Well that was a pointless waste of time. Is it really a choice when your only option is the "right" choice?

I'm binging the Fallen series on AMC+. It's pretty weird stuff in a number of ways, but I like weird.

This won't make seniors very happy, especially if Congress also goes ahead with Medicare and Social Security cuts. Part of the "just die already" movement, I suppose.

One think you can say for certain, this administration eats its own dog food. Even if the dog food is from an alternate reality. Brand X dog food, I suppose.

Well, one thing I'll say for DJT is that he brought back humor. Probably not intentionally, but people do enjoy a clown show in the midst of a train wreck.

Well, to stretch the analogy a little further, there's a reason why Doctors scientifically prescribe medicines. Too much can often kill you, or at least leaving you feeling much less well off. I'd feel a lot better if this economic "medicine" was being prescribed by somebody who actually knew what they were doing. As it is, we have a political group that seems wildly divorced from reality implementing these measures. It's folly.

Yep, well it's all pure economic Folly, but there's nobody left to tell the emperor he has no clothes.

My hypothesis is we're living in the simulation where DJT wins, just to see what kind of cr*p show breaks out. So fasten your seatbelts, it's going to be a bumpy ride. At least the data will be interesting.

James Webb Telescope Spots Unprecedented Galaxy Rotation Pattern The reason? A hypothesis is that our universe was formed inside a rotating black hole. That's a pretty remarkable discovery if it pans out; it has been conjectured before, but this is the first actual evidence.
