Yup. I guarantee the calculation in Cannon’s chambers is, “Is this the Supreme Court telling us to go for it?,” not “Is this an official act?”.

I don’t think there’s an answer beyond “New Yorker.”
The goal of a New Yorker cartoon is to make you go, “huh.” That’s all. I’d even go so far as to say punchlines or “points” are probably seen as gauche to New Yorker editors.
Sorry to repost, but coincidentally I made a comment a few days ago answering this:
First past the post elections is the answer. If we had ranked choice or runoff elections, more parties would appear.
Instead, in FPTP, every vote that is not for one of the two highest-polling candidates is objectively a wasted vote. Game theory dictates that the only rational choice is a vote for one of those two candidates, since the possibility of a third party gaining enough votes to win in any single election is nearly infinitesimal. So instead of many parties, all candidates self-sort into one of the two viable parties. Any candidate that does not is a protest candidate or deluded, but in either case, there is no hope of actually winning.
So what about primaries? The primary system decides the candidates, but even that is tainted by FPTP, because primary voters have to guess which will perform better in a FPTP general election and often vote against their ideal candidate in the hopes of winning (or, not losing) the general.
In short, until we structurally reform elections to be ranked/STAR/runoff/etc to remove the punitive effect of voting for your actual ideal candidate, we’re stuck with a prisoner’s dilemma election every time.
As someone ignorant of UK political history and comparative party policy: is this good?
Huh… That’s really not nice.
Maybe the command line version is consistent, but day to day I prefer not to do command line. I’ve tried like 5 different GUIs and they all have failed downloads, incorrect formats, and other issues just doing test downloads. I don’t know why, but it’s been a problem every time for me.
You should listen to all the yt-dlp comments, but I’ve always had trouble getting all the yt-dl variants to just download the best version and subtitles consistently.
I use 4K Video Downloader, and it’s easier to use. It has a 30 video per day limit is all, which is more than I need.
Yeah, I kept hearing the term as well, and understood the general gist, but realized I didn’t actually know what it means. When I looked it up it refers to some pretty serious Alzheimer’s or dementia symptoms.
I thought you were going to say California or New York. If you think Minnesota won’t be in play in November, you haven’t been paying attention to 2016 and 2020. Minnesota is not immune to rural grievance demographic shifts and it’s been too close for comfort lately. Please vote like your vote will actually affect the election.
Yup, but I take it as a good indication just how desperate the electorate is for someone who is just generally seen as a good, competent person.
There’s no quiet part anymore, it’s all just loud.
I think the most interesting thing about the debate fallout is that republicans, who usually will pile on and gaslight and push the Overton window to the right no matter what the reality is, are basically impossible to even hear over the distress and doomsaying on the left wing.
That’s because we’re doing their job better than even they could.
Look, it was a bad debate performance, but this is 2016 replaying all over again, and these repeated commentary cycles are overkill. We’re focusing all our attention on a non-representative bad detail for a democratic nominee. Republicans love that for us, and it’s fantastic for them. We are letting a less-than-two-hour block consume us, our momentum, and drain our morale. And every second we’re not focusing on Trump and him being a (thanks to the Supreme Court) literal king, and what that could mean for us, is another shovelful of dirt out of democracy’s growing grave.
I get it - everyone is screaming “Biden should drop out” with the best intentions (mostly). Trump is the anti-Democracy. He needs to be stopped. But I actually don’t think the debate was bad enough to warrant all this desperate doomsaying. I know what Biden is. He’s a well-meaning but old guy who probably needs time and the support of his staff to understand every issue. But - sorry if this pegs me as crazy - that doesn’t really bother me.
And Republicans have been spending the last 8 years learning to distort Trump-related reality - not only ignoring inconvenient truths about Trump, but actively Orwellian double-speaking ahead of time. They are much much better at this, even without this unforced error. So unless we’re ready to get out in the streets to demand Biden step down (which republicans certainly have wet dreams about), or can personally call up Biden to convince him to drop out, I’d suggest we stop feeding these self-destructive news cycles.
Honest question: What should democrats do to reverse the Supreme Court?

The “aspirational brand” value is a bit of Apple-ception, though. The really, really, luxury-level wealthy people buying Vision Pro, to inspire the just really wealthy people to buy the Vision Basic or whatever it’s called. It still is the price of the highest-end iPhone, and it’s far less functional.
I wouldn’t be surprised if they treated the Vision Pro as Apple’s version of the beta product - top-down rather than bottom-up testing.
This is what I came here to respond. If I recall, there are some good hi-res mods for the PSX emulated versions.
I’ve been looking for this exact kind of tool for years, and have a series of format-specific cut and join tools without reencode. If this works, this is incredible.
She got the crazy eye.
You mean, commiserate?
“good people on both sides”…
