Wade decision legalizing abortion throughout the +United States. + +Justice Alito has reportedly informed an anonymous source that he 'screwed up' +and that though he believes abortion should be illegal, '[his daughter] isn't +like all those [expletive] who will go out and [expletive] and then just roll +up to a clinic and abort a living child'. + +In Alito's reported words, 'Having this child could ruin my daughter's career. +She made one mistake. She isn't like the others!' Alito went on to say that +while doctors who perform abortions are still murderers, '[his daughter] is +different. She just is. I wouldn't expect you to understand.' + +The exception, being called by critics 'Alito's folly', is expected to appear +in Alito's third draft opinion. Alito's second draft opinion broadened the +allowed language to 'better describe' what Alito called 'party idiots who don't +care about human life'. + +This wouldn't be the first time a Supreme Court Justice has added an exception +to a seemingly concrete ruling. In Plessy v. Ferguson the often-overlooked tenth +'diversity' Justice, George Freeman, added an exception to the famous 'separate +but equal' rule; 'While I'm required to like segregation in order to maintain +my position in this Court, I do not want to use the colored bathrooms. Shop- +owners never clean them.' + +The anonymous source also said after Alito drives his daughter home from +Planned Parenthood he plans to continue protesting that same location in his +'special disguise' - sunglasses and a baseball cap. + +--- + + +2022-06-22 + + Dangerous ideas + + Perhaps the homelessness problem in the United States would be taken +care of if any domicile not occupied were given to someone who wasn't +previously occupying a domicile.

Life cereal is + especially good soggy. + The last powdery bits of the cereal are much better than the initial + big bits. A lot of that powder is sugar and it sweetens the + milk. + Bag cereal is just as good as box cereal. Taste-wise they're identical + and they're about the same effort to pour because the boxes + have bags in them too. The only con to bagged is that a greater + amount of cereals are boxed (e.g. there are no off-brand + Wheaties where I am) and boxes have cool puzzles on the back + (though now that I'm not a wee lass I do have a cellphone on + which I play Konami Picross instead). + + WRONGSPEAK AND WRONGTHINK + + If you're unaffected by a slur you probably shouldn't use it, even in + an educational or non-hateful context. + There are some words I'd now consider hateful I used to use without + reserve. + Personally I don't use hateful language because I don't think it's + justifiable. However, if you're okay with offending people, + consider this - you cannot grow in your understanding of the + world if you don't communicate with people with whom you + disagree. You're really going to prioritize hateful speech over + self development? + If you go on my platform and say things with which I disagree, I should + not have to host your opinions. + + Most of my regrets involving political speech involve saying either too +little or too much, which is nice, because at least I didn't support some +stupendously awful cause that ended up killing everyone or something.
