  Yet again, GenX is overlooked.

  I don’t think burning CDs much much of a boomer activity.

  Even if you were to concede that point, which to be clear, I absolutely do not, due process must be extended to everyone in order to know who is a citizen and who is not.

  Please cite in the constitution where it calls anyone “illegal.”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We'll have plenty of camps to have them sent to by then.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  A person cannot be “illegal.”

  But they can be ignorant. Bigoted. Hateful.

  I perhaps did not separate my points well.

  Point one is challenging the results in a very close elections is acceptable and even important because it ensures the accuracy of the results. I take no issue with anyone, of either party, doing so in earnest.

  Point two is that SCOTUS stopped the legitimate recount of the close results on Florida but it wasn’t because Gore/the recount was unreasonable.

  What I see with these Republicans in contested races is simply to ignore the results and stubbornly refuse to accept results, often even after recounts.

  Fair enough, but I don’t recall it being so much contested (or Gore refusing to concede) but rather that SCOTUS stepping in before the recount was complete.

  Ensuring close elections are accurately called is understandable, simply refusing to accept the results is another.

  I haven’t yet read the article, but my money is on the latter in this case.

  Ernest question, are there any examples of judges having to force election boards to seat, Republicans in contested seats?

  I love Sorkin at his best. He has an iffy batting average, but hits home runs when he connects.

  Very very good list. I’m confused why they reversed the ordering? (BoB is clearly #1, not 10)

  He does. That’s why it’s fun to point out that it’s wrong.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How would I check if a movie is in the public domain?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  First, anything 95 years old is in the public domain. On Jan. 1st every year, works created 95 years ago enter the public domain. As I write this in 2025, everything published ANYTIME during 1929 is in the PD.

  Second, I like to read articles on publicdomainreview.org.

  One thing you can try is to upload the movie to YouTube. But I’ve found that their detector is too sensitive, it’ll flag something undoubtedly in the PD as being under copyright.
