Wild. I watch a good amount of YouTube, but I've never been recommended Shapiro that I recall. I did get recommended his sister's channel at one point, which was embarrassingly cringe. And I'm not even sure who the guy on the right is

So every steam deck that visits the websites that track this counts? It's probably not many, but it's certainly likely there are a few counted.

The latest the CPU could've come out is around the time Barack Obama became a household name, at which point 64GB would've been a really big and expensive SSD. They probably wanted space

If we're limiting ourselves to Americans, there's one woman for the job and her name is Mara Wilson.

No, but maybe Rebel Wilson.

Would Musk's untimely death, thought to be associated with the billion dollars worth of ketamine he bought last weekend off some dude on Craigslist, positively affect SpaceX? It might.

Though it seems like his attention being on Twitter has been good for SpaceX, less of his focus seems to mean fewer bad decisions overall. None of his attention could be a solid improvement

I'd feel better if it were in the hands of Owen Wilson.

Younger millennial here: I don't remember a particular moment, but it was somewhere during the 2nd Bush administration. Between the horrible things that happened in Guantanamo Bay, the completely unjustified war on Iraq, and the harm I saw No Child Left Behind inflicting on my own community, the country's flaws were very apparent to me.

When an obvious charlatan got elected in 2016, that devastated my hope that things would improve.

This has implications for the Tommy Westphall Universe as a whole.

Well an Olympic athlete is probably a public figure in this context, so she'd need to show that Boebert defamed her "with knowledge that it was false or with reckless disregard of whether it was false or not."

Pretty good, I'd wager.

Yeah Marbury v Madison found that congress can decide which cases SCOTUS reviews directly, vs where the authority of lower courts starts. But it's not in conflict with the other principle from Marbury v Madison, that SCOTUS has the power to review whether laws are constitutional or not. If I understand correctly, at least.

Before Trump, the worst issue the growing authority of the court caused was a shift from Congress making major policy changes, to SCOTUS. Congress changing that could be a change for the better in the long run.
