From Trump's immunity claim to emergency abortion care to dismantling the administrative state, the Supreme Court still has some hugely consequential cases yet to decide in the coming days. To catch up on these important cases, don't miss Tuesday's piece from The Big Picture! https://thinkbigpicture.substack.com/p/supreme-court-decisions-2024-guide

Progressives need to start buying a shit ton of RVs and Fishing Boats to give to Clarence if they want to win these. Anyone know the conversion rates between a private jet and a conspiracy-flag too?

@georgetakei I'm a late Xer, so I don't recall the music being all that great. Songs in the key of whinge, I'd call most of it. The best parts of the nineties were the pre-94 stuff.

Occasionally stop what you are doing and ask people what "that music" was. When they say what music, just shake your head and say "oh, it must have been non-diegetic" and move on.

From his mugshot in the Fulton County RICO case to his angry presence in the New York financial fraud trial, Trump’s message is clear: he’s mad. While reasonable voters might shy away from his fury, the GOP is embracing it wholeheartedly. But how sustainable is this strategy of leaning into Trump’s performative rage? https://thinkbigpicture.substack.com/p/trump-2024-campaign-rage-conservatives

@georgetakei I'd ask them politely to move it, explaining why, and if they got abusive or didn't then I'd politely get the cabin crew to do it for them while I headed tot he lavatory. If they want to kick off with the cabin crew, then I don't want to be adding to the heat of the situation by being there. And if the cabin crew fall on their side, then I'll suck it up and deal with it, secure int he knowledge that corporate are about to give me a free flight in recompense after my letter to them.
