I’m shocked I tell you, shocked!

*Grammatically ☝️🤓

A 60 Minutes segment about CECOT was pulled from the air in the US but aired in Canada, supposedly by mistake according to US news outlets. It covered the horrible treatment, abuse, and wrongful detention of prisoners there, which apparently the US news corps didn’t like

EDIT: It’s actively being removed from YouTube when people post it - you can watch it on the Internet Archive or on CatBox

I’m playing devil’s advocate here, but isn’t all impartiality a feint? No human is free of bias; at least if they do their best to act the part, it’s better than the blatant, open, unashamed corruption going on in the government today. If a judge holds dumb personal biases but puts those aside to judge, that’s not “feigning impartiality”, that’s doing their job. Because as I mentioned before, religion has no place in justice.

Anthony Kennedy, one of the most influential supreme court justices in establishing gay rights in the US, was Catholic.

Harry Blackmun, the majority opinion writer for Roe v. Wade, was heavily involved in church and gave several sermons.

Despite what MAGA would have you believe, it is possible to be both Christian, and not a hateful asshole (though it seems to be getting more rare by the day).

Oh, don’t get me wrong, the establishment of Christianity in the US is horribly corrupt. I suppose I’m arguing to judge these pieces of shit by their character, not their religion. I’m not even Christian, I just believe it’s dangerous to start applying mass generalizations to any group of people. Religion has no place in justice, either in protecting or hurting someone’s case.

I love your username

I think if she wants to argue that Christianity is so central to her being that she cannot make impartial decisions, she should be permanently dismissed, as she is clearly not fit for the position. There are plenty of Christians out there capable of impartiality, she is the problem, not her religious preference.

I’m confused - it’s the only non-semantic standard html container. Ofc it’s bad if you’re trying to communicate intent, but if it’s just for minor layout tweaks, anything else would mess with the document structure. Find me one sufficiently complex website that doesn’t use divs lol

Even that is pretty easy nowadays with modern CSS:

<div> <svg /> Text </div>

div {
    display: flex;
    align-items: center;

    /* If the SVG needs an offset */
    & svg {
        --offset: ...px, ...px;
        transform: translate(var(--offset));
    }
}

If you want the image to show up, you need an exclamation mark:

Yeah calling the US the “free world” is some BS, even prior to cheeto man
