Scientific American delivers a scathing article about the theologists holding the majority in the US Supreme Court. It’s so good, and so tightly written, that it’s difficult to pull an excerpt without wanting to also include the lead in and follow up. I’ll tempt you with some opening paragraphs, but the article is brilliant and deserves to be read.

“In five instances, Justice Neil Gorsuch’s opinion confused nitrogen oxide, a pollutant that contributes to ozone formation, with nitrous oxide, better known as laughing gas.

You can’t make this stuff up. This repeated mistake in the 5–4 decision exemplifies a high court not just indifferent to facts but contemptuous of them.”

But it’s a totally different story if it’s Obama looking for Snowden, totally different...🙄 #failingempire

We strongly condemn the Lukashenka regime's brazen and shocking act to divert a commercial flight and arrest a journalist. We demand an international investigation and are coordinating with our partners on next steps. The United States stands with the people of Belarus.

So many #neocons being appointed to positions of influence in the #failingempire have no comprehension of the current state of reality in the world, instead living in a delusional state of the past when everything made sense to them. https://patrickarmstrong.ca/2021/04/20/sunbeams-from-cucumbers-the-view-from-the-khanate-of-kaganstan/

Projection is real. Adversaries accuse their opponents that of which they are guilty. Recent example; ‘Putin is a killer’ proclaimed by #Biden as his men are literally behind the scenes trying to organise assassination of #Lukashenko. #failingempire
Will Biden beat Chernenko’s record? #failingempire
