i think taking away access to social media for the over 60s would be wiser.

this had somehow escaped me. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/jan/25/florida-social-media-teenager-ban-bill

Not so much applying to incarceration per se, but I assume one of the functions of the criminal justice system is to take that retribution out of the hands of the victims, or their families.

I had heard that death by nitrogen is painless; your body doesn't get any signal that anything is wrong and you just drift off to sleep. That said, I think that was in the context of accidental death where you're not aware of what's happening.

that's an exceptionally long tie. clearly not fit for an office holder.

i wasn't sure who you meant! you could have been referring to biden or trump with that statement.

trump 'lost' by nearly 3m votes the first time and by 7m the second time he ran.

seems much ado about nothing; it'll only ever happen in states that trump would never win, and the supreme court is not going to allow it stand.

kinda funny that he helped get a bipartisan action over the line and then the dems - who wanted that - voted him out. even though they know the next lad is probably to be more hardline?

this sounds like it was fun "After all eight candidates declined to raise their hands when asked if they believed human behavior was causing the climate crisis" https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/aug/23/vivek-ramaswamy-focus-republican-debate i can't imagine the republicans picking...

I saw a link to a video (which I admittedly didn't watch) where apparently a couple of days before the elections, he told an interviewer that if they went well, he'd be totally responsible, but if they went badly, he'd be completely blameless. Gotta love the man's way of thinking.

I wonder how much wind this has taken out of trump's sails.

'Dr Oz beaten to a usually safe rep seat by a lad who's had a stroke and has trouble speaking' is an interesting detail.

The Dems seem not to have done as badly as forecast. I haven't been following this much at all but have seen some analysis which suggests that the abortion issue may have hampered the republicans.

It does have 'IG Utah satire' in the top left of the video so it may not be as funny as I thought

i now have an image of iowa declaring war on california. that's a long march, some possible donner party vibes ahoy.
