  • if I understand correctly, it's actually because she is. it explains that in order for a civil case to be under the jurisdiction of a federal court (and a civil case must be what she's attempting, since she doesn't cite any federal law to allege that the defendants have broken it), none of the plaintiffs can be citizens of the same state as any of the defendants. otherwise, presumably, it would fall under the jurisdiction of whichever state both parties are citizens of. so because both she and some gay people are Nebraskans, the case would have to be handled by a Nebraska state court, not a federal court

  • my favorite part is where they explain that for her to claim that this is under the jurisdiction of a federal court, she would have to prove that there are no gay people who are citizens of the state of Nebraska

  • saber-toothed cats are actually an entirely different lineage from what are called conical-toothed cats, that diverged about 20 million years ago. all saber-toothed cats are extinct, and all extant cats are conical-toothed, and descended from conical-toothed ancestors; there are no living cats descended from saber-toothed cats

  • how telling it is that so many of his appointees are former fox hosts. he thinks they're qualified to do these jobs because they're the only people he's ever heard talk about these topics in a way that seems authoritative. that's the level of political discourse that the president engages in

  • take their money and arrest those responsible

    Jump

  • if there's a minimum amount of consuming fossil fuels that's required to continue to live in society, and the goal is to eliminate that, then we need change on a societal level. individuals alone cannot solve the problem, and therefore cannot be blamed for the problem existing

  • take their money and arrest those responsible

    Jump

  • because not purchasing anything that is produced or transported with energy from fossil fuels means fucking off into the woods to starve to death naked in a hut made of mud and twigs

  • when reading The Silmarillion, it's important to remember that Finrod, the brother of Galadriel, is different from Fingon. Fingon is Finrod's cousin, and also the brother of Turgon. Fingon and Turgon's father is Fingolfin, who is the brother of Finarfin, who is Finrod's father. you'll have a hard time following the story if you don't keep all those straight

  • Trump claims fallen soldiers said 'we cannot let Iran have a nuclear weapon'

    Jump

  • so he's admitting that he killed them by ending the deal that was already in place when he entered office that prevented Iran from making nuclear weapons?

  • TIL almost half the states in the US ban buying alcohol on christmas

    Jump

  • that's probably not related to any kind of moral or religious belief, but actually a form of election security

    Cooping was a form of electoral fraud in the United States by which gangs kidnapped citizens off the street and forced them to vote, often repeatedly, for an election candidate.... so-called "cooping gangs" or "election gangs" working for a political candidate would hold random victims in a chamber or cellar (the "coop") and ply them with alcohol or beat them to get them to comply.
