    I’ve only done 2. Toured Mexico City and stood among redwoods. But then my vacations typically aren’t very outdoorsy unless beaches count. I regularly bike parts of the Empire trail, but have probably only covered 50-60m of it in total. And not hiking.

    @Klaus There is no real mentioning. But they do require an adress where you're staying your first night. Maybe that was unclear? BTW, my experience with US customs and immigration never was agreeable...

    It’s like they just hired a bunch of maga fanbois to run all the government’s social media accounts. Next up, NASA retweets a catturd call for dissolving the Supreme Court.

    You and Rogan and others are spitting some common sense and it's baffling we even need to have this commentary, honestly.

    Pfffttt ... Conservatories still teach music students to listen to each other while playing in ensembles. Maybe they should train with click tracks.

    @jon-nyc said in SCOTUS: Yep. Alito is going to issue a statement. If I read correctly, he did not necessary disagree with the decision, but more the timing. https://www.foxnews.com/politics/alito-blasts-unprecedented-scotus-move-halt-trumps-venezuelan-deportations-legally-questionable Alito disapproved of the timing of the decision, which he described as being "literally in the middle of the night." "[T]he Court issued unprecedented and legally questionable relief without giving the lower courts a chance to rule, without hearing from the opposing party, within eight hours of receiving the application, with dubious factual support for its order, and without providing any explanation for its order," Alito wrote. The justice, who has served on the court since 2006, was joined by Justice Clarence Thomas in his dissent. "I refused to join the Court’s order because we had no good reason to think that, under the circumstances, issuing an order at midnight was necessary or appropriate," Alito continued. "Both the Executive and the Judiciary have an obligation to follow the law. The Executive must proceed under the terms of our order in Trump v. J. G. G., 604 U. S. ___ (2025) (per curiam), and this Court should follow established procedures."

    https://www.wsj.com/politics/elections/americas-second-richest-elected-official-is-acting-like-he-wants-to-be-president-8b30efa0?st=aGLuVU&reflink=desktopwebshare_permalink If Pritzker runs, Republicans will be certain to highlight the challenges Illinois faces. Private sector jobs have been stagnant since he took office, and a massive unfunded pension liability hangs over the state like a black cloud. Taxes are among the highest in the nation, and the state’s population has shrunk since 2020. Violent crime and struggling schools plague Chicago, a favorite target for Trump and conservatives. “People are voting with their feet,” said Paul Vallas, a conservative-leaning Democrat who is a former Chicago public schools chief and past city budget director. “The state is an absolute disaster.” Pritzker took over in 2019 amid a budget crisis. He has supported Illinois legislation to protect abortion access, mandate paid time off for workers, raise the minimum wage to $15 for nontipped workers 18 and older, tighten gun restrictions and invest in infrastructure. He has aggressively recruited businesses, including in quantum computing, and worked to restore some order to state budgeting, helping prompt Moody’s to raise the Illinois credit rating three times during his tenure. and While he grew up in privilege in California, Pritzker hasn’t had an entirely easy life. As a 7-year-old, his 39-year-old father died while playing tennis in Hawaii. His mother, an alcoholic and Democratic activist who introduced him to politics at a young age, was killed a decade later when after driving drunk she jumped from a moving tow truck after her car broke down.
