South Korea threatens to post military units to Kyiv | Ukraine: The Latest | Podcast

YouTube
This nation was founded on a simple yet profound principle: No one is above the law.

So today, I'm calling for three bold reforms to restore trust and accountability to the court and our democracy.

1. No more immunity for crimes a former president committed while in office
2. Term limits for Supreme Court justices
3. A binding code of conduct for the Supreme Court

Joe Biden: My plan to reform the Supreme Court and ensure no president is above the law

We can and must prevent the abuse of presidential power and restore the public’s faith in our judicial system.

Trump: “Get out and vote just this time. You won't have to do it anymore. Four more years it will be fixed. It'll be fine. You won't have to vote anymore...In four years you don't have to vote again. We'll have it fixed so good your not gonna have to vote.”

These people are SO good: "lied about the election (again)."

Lesson learned. Don't bring facts to a knife fight.

@futurebird I've often wondered if we're living through a "new Carboniferous period" because critters that can digest plastics haven't evolved yet.

I expect over e6-e9 year time scales, polymers will gradually break down into shorter and shorter chains and perhaps high concentrations of them, like landfills, will become oil-field-like natural resource reservoirs for whatever species inhabits our planet at that time.

But hopefully on a much shorter time scale recycling will evolve to the point that mining old landfills will become profitable, allowing us to recover some of these old resources for reuse.

If you miss David Crosby and his music fiercely like I do, this performance of "Bittersweet" by Marcus Eaton, Jeff Pevar, Stefano Frollano and the Déja Vu Band is sublime. It was recently released on an import-only CD called "Music is Love," available by mail from https://www.route61music.com/en/. David's music deserves to be heard and played more often. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=21Hw9FKTohI

Adam Serwer’s essay “The Cruelty Is the Point” changed the way I inhabit the world. I already had the pieces. I already understood them, sort of. Yet when I read his writing, something clicked for me. I see the world differently after reading it. It’s a piece that is worth rereading now, all the way to its powerful final paragraph: https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2018/10/the-cruelty-is-the-point/572104/?gift=YexU1QpjGQRNRj0UQX9KySYo41dY00dLj1hik24YwpE (Non-paywalled link, ht @[email protected]: https://archive.is/bZyGQ) 1/2
