It's a protocol, made with open RFC docs.

This is an overly simplified summary that doesn't describe the objection to mentioning Congress as the only body to enforce the amendment. It was 9-0, but 4 justices made a special declaration pointing that out.

While all nine justices agreed that Trump should be on the ballot, there was sharp disagreement from the three liberal members of the court and a milder disagreement from conservative Justice Amy Coney Barrett that their colleagues went too far in determining what Congress must do to disqualify someone from federal office.

Seriously. I want to play Alan Wake 2, but not if it's on Epic's store.

Country size has a huge impact on the ability to make sweeping changes to infrastructure and public opinion. A country the size of one US state can do whatever they want and it's not going to take 50 years to implement.

South Korea has broadband everywhere? Sure, they are a rich country the size of Indiana and lacing all of that fiber is trivial compared to the entire land mass of the US, or worse, Russia or China. Governmental demands scale much differently the larger the country, and tax doesn't scale in a 1:1 manner to its land mass.

Their policies on automated updates, garbage QA, and recall history are huge turnoffs. Oh, and attachments to Elon Musk.

Both of these takes are extremely cynical, and should be taken with a grain of salt. Israel's actions with Gaza and the extremely right-wing PM in charge should not define Israel as a country and the reasons why the US has them as an ally, just like how Trump does not define the US as a country.

To be clear, I'm not suggesting that they shouldn't be criticized. But, let's criticize the actions, instead of making up reasons that the US is involved with Israel in the first place.

Mexican cartels are the government, so this isn't surprising.

LAION is a database of URLs, gathered from publicly-available data on the Web. Who is "taking" anything?

This new "journalism" site is not doing itself any favors with bullshit headlines like this. And this is not the first wildly inaccurate article I've seen from 404 Media.

Spain is also the size of a single state.
