Waiting for a pdf of the ruling but this is nice, I hate how SCOTUSblog drags its feet when rulings favoring Trump happen:

It's also Clarence Thomas' aka Joyboy's birthday today!

I hope y'all will forgive my pedantry, but this is not a ruling. It's a stay of the injunction issued by the lower court, which will now proceed to be litigated the old-fashioned way. It's a good thing but it's not a win, yet.
 
They say personnel is policy. Ultra-shitlib Michael Bloomberg demonstrates the principle:
1750713284217.webp
The New York University State Energy & Environmental Impact Center’s fellowship—which Bloomberg’s eponymous philanthropic nonprofit provided two seed grants worth $5.6 million in 2017—has long placed and paid the salaries of officials in at least 10 state attorney general offices nationwide. Over the past two years, internal emails obtained by the Free Beacon show, the program has expanded to state-level public service commissions, often-overlooked agencies that regulate utility companies and permit energy infrastructure like pipelines and power plants. The commissions also implement state renewable energy standards that force power providers to generate electricity through pricier green sources.
Bloomberg might have been inspired by the über-neoliberal kingpin George Soros, who purchased higher crime rates throughout the country by installing shitlib district attorneys who side with criminals against their victims.

The center’s work in attorney general offices, where Bloomberg-funded fellows have participated in litigation accusing the fossil fuel industry of causing global warming, has prompted conflict-of-interest concerns over the use of private funding to drive public lawsuits. Its work in state regulatory agencies, on the other hand, is a new development—one that suggests the center and its funders seek to play a more active role pushing green energy development at the local level.

The purpose is to deprive normal people of electricity on behalf of libshit ideology. But with a net worth of $106 billion, Bloomberg himself will stay warm in the winter and cool in the summer.

Look who Bloomberg’s fellowship managed to install on the Louisiana Public Service Commission:
Rula Thabata, a DEI activist, former policy fellow at a Muslim advocacy group, and recent graduate of Loyola University Chicago School of Law. A job posting for the role echoed the 2023 contract, stating that the [NYU] fellow would be sponsored by the NYU impact center and handle regulatory matters related to the “clean energy future, climate change, [and] energy justice.”

“Energy justice” means only plutocrats like Bloomberg can afford energy.

Considering the evil their ideology allows to blossom, you might imagine neoliberals are ghouls, but they can be very sympathetic. Unfortunately, their sympathy is strangely misplaced. They won’t shed a tear for the 73 million children killed each year by abortion. But they do memorialize roadkill:

In her “Roadside Memorial Project,” the Kentucky-based artist and activist L. A. Watson has been creating reflective silhouettes of animals, which she installs among the grass in the verges of roads in her home state wherever an animal of that species has been run over. They function both as a warning sign to drivers and as a memorial to the dead individual in question. …

In a similar project, the eco-artist Brian D. Collier builds roadside shrines for animals, complete with the date of death and a color picture of the deceased, akin to the ones we sometimes see erected along the road for people who have lost their lives in traffic accidents.

Bram Koese of Holland goes farther, having enlisted 25 assistants to help out in his roadkill memorial activities:
Together they assembled not one but 642 roadside shrines. … Each cross would come to represent a separate roadkill exactly at the spot where it had taken place. The name of the species and the date of its demise were stenciled on the crossbeam, and a picture of the live animal was placed next to a QR code that led to the record on the Observation International website, where a photo of the animal in its flattened state could be viewed.

Just in case Dutch motorists cannot find a better use for their time.

If anyone tried doing the same for aborted children in the Netherlands, they might be thrown in prison.

"Hey I'm going to attack your nuclear sites, you should get your people out of there"
"Splendid, thank you for the warning, I'm going to retaliate at these spots in a few days, you should move too"
"Thank you good sir"
"Kindly!"

don't get me wrong, I'm very glad we've seemed to have avoided WW3 or GWOT2 Electric Boogaloo, but let's be honest, we probably just hit a few empty bases and whatever nuclear material Iran has (as well as their technology) was moved off site thanks to our forewarning, and Iran just shot a few missiles into the desert not hitting anything in response.

What was even the point of this gay little charade?

Are you aware of how big the equipment is? They didn't move that.
