A few years ago, the GOP decried the notion of "judicial activism."
It just wouldn't be right to legislate from the bench!
A couple of stolen Supreme Court seats, and another a couple that went to unqualified individuals, later… and the this court is now deciding on what's right and essentially legislating where Congress has faltered.
The reasoning behind the repeal of Roe v Wade is flawed and nonsensical. Make no mistake this is judicial activism.
It's amazing, though, that the response from the GOP is crickets. Well, maybe it’s crickets on the outrage, but the response is more like cheering.
And now they'll go after a host of other items. The assault on us and our rights will be led by this small group of idiots.
Congress could codify (and arguably already should have codified) some of these things into law. But they're too busy fighting about nonsense (as always).

The USFL
I watched a little from a couple of games…and yeah there are a few clever innovations. But the football itself is just bad. I mean worse than lower tier college football.
But as they say "it's still football," so I was still watching a little.
And then came the ad featuring the douche bag pillow salesman. Why does anyone allow him airtime? He's a traitor.
And that's when I decided that the football isn't good enough to simply ignore him and his asinine self.
So thanks usfl for trying. But I'm out.

NFL warned to improve treatment of women by six AGs: 'Pink jerseys are not a replacement'
(A) there's this story … and notice the AG from Florida didn't sign on to this. Of course he didn't.
And (B) there was another story about how the dolphins were trying to swing a deal to get Tom Brady to come to Miami…but then the dolphins got sued by Brian Flores, and there went that idea. Funny how these two stories are connected…

Never forget, it’s always about the money. College edition.
A few years ago, the FBI brought forth evidence that several coaches in the college sports landscape were acting inappropriately…re-directing scholarships, paying players, recruiting high schoolers with lucrative offers.
Last I heard, the cases stalled, so there's not much happening in the legal sense.
One of the coaches implicated was Bill Self, the Kansas coach. At the time he was labeled a cheater. The NCAA pushed hard for him to be dismissed from his job.
But Kansas saw him as a great hero. He was winning games and making money for the school. They wouldn't budge.
In fact, Kansas "doubled down" and signed him to a lifetime contract. Thumbing their nose at the ncaa and the fbi.
And here is Kansas basketball playing for a national championship. With a cheating coach.
No punishment. And I have little doubt he's still doing whatever it was he was doing.
It's so absurd.
Money rules all.

Stupid thing for the day
Costco has self checkout. For 1+ years, they've had a person at each register scanning items. They beep beep beep and you're out.
Today, they had one person per aisle (covering 3 stations). Rather than the remote, you have to take each item out, scan it on the machine and place them in the area to the right.
If you miss placing one item it stops and tells you to place it in the area.
If you have a problem it stops completely. And you have to wait for the person. If you buy alcohol it stops completely. And you have to wait for the person.
If you try to put stuff back in the cart before it finishes paying it stops completely. And you have to wait for the person.
It took us 2x as long as using a cashier. And 4x as long as when they had people scanning.
I think I shan't be using self checkout at Costco. It's dumb.
