In April, Propublica's by Joshua Kaplan, @justinelliott and #AlexMierjeski dropped a *bombshell*: #SupremeCourt Justice #ClarenceThomas had been showered in high-ticket "gifts" by billionaire ideologue #HarlanCrow, who subsequently benefited from Thomas's rulings in the court:

Clarence Thomas and the Billionaire

Island-hopping on a superyacht. Private jet rides around the world. The undisclosed gifts to Thomas have no known precedent in the modern history of the Supreme Court. “It’s incomprehensible to me that someone would do this,” says one former judge.

I just finished watching S2E9 of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds. If someone told me they had slipped some LSD in my drink I'd be temped to believe them. It was absolutely great but what was that? I still don't know what to think, waiting to buy the album. #StarTrekStrangeNewWorlds

"But, Deviant!" folk arguing in bad faith will cry, "Aren't the police stretched thin already? How will the remaining ones do their job?"

Answer: society doesn't want or need police departments to do a huge swath of things they're currently tasked with doing.

Downsize or disband divisions related to traffic enforcement, vice, and response to medical/mental crisis incidents. Remove police from schools. We could start there.

Maybe focus on bank robbers or rapists for a while.

"One man knowingly took them. The other man didn't know he had them.

One man refused to return them. The other man returned them as soon as he found out he had them." -- Joe Walsh

There's a massive difference.

As New Year's Eve is upon us, my mind wanders and puzzles over many things. We have wonderful little robotic scouts now combing Mars. Will they discover evidence of Huldufólk even there?
