Wait, I can edit my posts?!!

I read the poll, too, my friend. In fact, both the questions about medical care were phrased more or less exactly as I said.

I'm not going to stoop to calling you a liar, though. After all, I agreed with the thrust of your post that the WaPo's headline was misleading.

@maxkennerly I think this is mostly fair. However what you characterize as:

"Do you support / oppose [personal behavior | medical treatment | activity]""

I see in the poll actually phrased as:

"Do you think [a person] should or should not [be allowed to / have access to]..."

which, while not directly asking about legal force, is much closer to a question about policy.

Phew. Just edited a Mastodon post for the first time. What a glorious feeling coming from Twitter. 😍
@mmasnick It's really striking to read the details of what Taibbi fucked up while thinking back to how he and his ilk footstomped on their way to Substack about how much their reporting would benefit from not being hampered by editors and fact-checkers.
this is objectively funny

This passage from Judge Wilkins is essential. To fully appreciate it, read this column by @Dahlialith. https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2022/12/representation-judiciary-federal-bench-judge-wilkins.html

I would have given you $100 gets $1000 odds we were never going to out-do Fraud Guarantee. But here we are.

If you're inclined to think that talk of an authoritarian threat to the US is overwrought, we now not only have Trump calling for terminating the Constitution, but other groups echoing that call:
