@arstechnica Thank you for writing a headline that makes clear this was dismissed on standing, not merit! Absolutely hate the misleading oversimplification rampant in media you've avoided here.

The Supreme Court did not rule on Mifeprestone. It did not legalize Mifeprestone. It did not uphold any laws guaranteeing access to Mifeprestone. It simply made a technical ruling on whether these litigants had standing to bring suit.

Thank you for helping to make this clear, right up front.

@arstechnica We're currently in an AI race to determine whether rich people will be able to use such robots to rule over the people they still need to work for them or to be able to go ahead and just eliminate those they no longer need at all.

Why would billionaires put up with being constrained by a functioning democracy when they no longer need all those voters to work for them?

@arstechnica Not in the market for a new car, let alone a luxury electric car. But if I had been considering one, this executive decision tells me everything I have to know about Polestar management.
