The U.S. Supreme Court is preparing to hand down a pivotal decision that could finally put an end to one of the Left’s favorite judicial tricks: nationwide injunctions designed to paralyze conservative executive action.

According to George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley, a looming Supreme Court decision on nationwide injunctions could have “enormous” impacts on the Trump administration.

Turley said Tuesday that the high court will likely crack down on rogue activist judges.

The SCOTUS is poised to decide on the practice by federal judges that can currently halt executive branch policies affecting the entire country.

Conservatives have argued that injunctions have been strategically sought in left-wing jurisdictions.

The moves are part of a strategy to undermine the Trump administration’s agenda on immigration enforcement and deportations.

“It’s going to be an enormous decision potentially,” Turley explained.

The legal scholar noted that a decision may come on Thursday.

“For the administration in the immigration areas, as well as other areas, the court could very well say, ‘Enough. We’re not going to have individual judges freezing the entire United States government on critical programs like this.”

A C.D.C. Committee Just Voted Against Flu Shots With This Preservative. Is It Safe? Here’s what the science shows about the preservative, thimerosal.
The amount in some flu vaccines is roughly equivalent to the amount of mercury found in a three-ounce can of tuna fish.

...

overall, autism rates did not decline after thimerosal was removed from the vaccines, as many anti-vaccine groups suggested it would. Instead, the rates increased.

It is likely akin to sunk-cost. They have already spent so much of their life having a thing to point at, that they don't want it to have been wrong the whole time. Even though it was known to be wrong pretty much right away, that was already too late for some.

Some mindsets require assigning blame to an external locus in order to move on. There has to be no chance it was "their fault" even though it's hard to really describe genetics as such...

There hasn't really been anything else to suggest a fixed external potential source. So if this one is proven wrong, they are out of options. Ignoring, of course, that it has already been proven wrong. But, that is the reason why they feel it hasn't. Because it's so very important to them that it is right.

And of course barring all that, even the most profoundly affected individuals with Autism rarely blame their condition for the lowered quality of life, if any, they blame their surroundings or surrounders incapability of adjusting to their needs. With proper surroundings and surrounders, even at it's worst, the downsides are manageable and the upsides can be really nice/useful.

"Liberals think Republicans are violent because we own guns."

No we think you're violent because:
1. Your sign at CPAC said "We are all domestic terrorists"
2. 71% of extremist violence since 2008 has been explicitly right wing compared to 3% left wing
3. You staged a violent insurrection on Jan 6 which killed people
4. You tried to assassinate Kamala Harris not once but three separate times during her presidential run
5. You broke into the home of Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and beat her husband in the head with a hammer
6. You broke into the home of Representative Melissa Hortman and assassinated her, murdered her husband, and shot their dog
7. You broke into the home of Senator John Hoffman and shot him and his wife
8. Your president just bombed Iran for no fucking reason
9. You are currently in the middle of enacting a mass genocide of brown people

And... I'm going to hold you by the hand when I say this - WE OWN GUNS TOO. We're just not psychotic mass murderers like you are.

Random shika in my yard that I didn't notice (and who didn't notice me) until quite a bit after I had walked down here with some tools to take out the concrete footing of the former fence (which is why there's a deer in this yard to begin with). She was not especially concerned about my presence. I wonder if I could get her to eat out of my hand eventually? Probably not safe for her to become that comfortable with humans though.

Ara que s'està esgotant el termini per presentar la declaració de l'IRPF i qui més qui menys ja sap els impostos que haurà tributat el 2024, és un bon moment per recordar que la monarquia espanyola ha utilitzat paradisos fiscals per amagar ingressos inconfessables i no pagar impostos.

Ho dic, sobretot, per aquells que, per babaus o per corruptes, encara els aplaudeixen i es deixen alliçonar pels discursos reials, carregats d'hipocresia i superioritat moral.

Sorry AP but I think all this is crappy attempts of capitalism2 competing with capitalism1 ...

Getting dragged into an ethnic/nationalist/racial race between capitalists is just that! Nationalism acting against class struggle.

Just because classic Marxist theory falls short of explaining 2 global capitalisms competing we should become cheerleaders for either one

I don't like how the dance studio I go to is run. I arrived there early for my scheduled private lesson and my dance instructor was excited to get started with me. as she walks me through some steps on the dance floor, the studio manager pops out of nowhere and starts chewing her out for beginning my lesson 5 minutes before the scheduled time. what's the big deal? does the studio lose money by giving me an extra 5 minutes of instruction? just end the lesson 5 minutes sooner idk

When Adam talks about model collapse he sounds kind of silly. Models aren't live, constantly updating and degrading. They are static, and only change when the software or interface loads a new model. At this point so many models are offline and are able to be run locally (image gen, text gen, audio gen, etc) and none of them can be affected by "model collapse". Because they are unchanging. I locally use Flux.1 for 2d gen and hunyuan-3d for 3d gen. And I will always be able to, barring power loss
