The problem is that the GOP forgot to keep it a boogeyman. Hypocritical conservatives could continue the culture war against abortion as long as the independent, Democrat, and liberal woman believed SCOTUS wouldn't rip apart half a century of precedent. As soon as the monster came out from under the bed and became real woman began arming themselves to fight it.

This is such a bad take.
You're not the arbitor of news. Being able to discredit her is important to a lot of people who have lost friends and family to get quackery.
To some of us, any argument you can use to bring those you love, people who are once upon a time intelligent, rational creatures, back into reality is important.
Her being disgraced may give her another 15 seconds of happiness, but it's another point of argument. It won't be a winning point for everyone, but it can be a tipping point for some.
You much think it's bad journalism, but you're not the arbiter for everyone. So, since you like to put your head on the sand and be ignorant about the people who spread dangerous medical misinformation, the kind that lead to mobs in Spain trying to pull down cellular towers, scroll past and keep doing that while the rest of us talk about seagulls
She did world wide tours peddling her 5g magnetic crap. She's literally the source of that rumor and it is world wide.
Is she as notorious as Wakefield? No, but he's got 10 years on her in the bullshit arena.
Is it the most notable world event at the moment? Also no, but she is a global figure.
I disagree, Sheri Tenpenny has been among the most damaging voices in the antivax arena since it began. This is a relevant as Andrew Wakefield losing his license. Her claims are used worldwide by the anti Vax, covid denying nut jobs.
Just because it happened in Ohio doesn't mean it is limited to Ohio.
This is where justice would come in. Fixing the system so that resources are distributed automatically to provide everyone with equitable access to the tools
That's actually where justice comes in.
Fixing the system so all people have equal access automatically under the system
You entirely missed the point of this picture.
This picture isn't about breaking Steve's fingers so you can both play shitty guitar. It's about making sure you can both access a guitar and lessons to learn.
The equality picture would be shoving a guitar in each of your hands and a coupon for lessons, while failing to address that you live 2 hours away from the teacher while he lives next door.
Eta: equity would be providing you with a free buss ride to the teachers house 2 hours away. This gives you all the tools to get guitar lessons, but, you might not be able to take advantage of this because a 5 hour commitment isn't the same as a 1 hour 5 minute commitment and you lose out on opportunity cost. You get free guitar lessons and a ride, but the system is broken. Justice is fixing the system so that there's enough guitar teachers within a reasonable distance. Like say, making sure that no one is more than 20 minutes from a guitar teacher.
And this is what it is for me.
The customization on sync gets me so damn close to what I had with relay that I'm just happy.
I used others, but they were heavily inspired by Apollo and the customization to make them closer to my muscle memory wasn't there. I'm happy to pay a talented developer who can give me my preferred experience.
And I really don't get this raging choosing beggar entitlement to people labor for free
No you're just super stuck on this really bad analogy.
Sync is a prostitute in the same way a hair dresser is. Your mom can slap a bowl on your head and cut your hair for free.
No, there's a free version. With about 1/100, the ads the official Reddit app has.
I wouldn't demand a haircut for free, or commission a painting for free, or ask someone to a fancy restaurant, then demand we go Dutch.
Sync has a developer who I chose to compensate for their work. I would've done the same for connect. I would like people to get compensated for the work they do. It's great to get something for free, but I am not entitled to their free labor.
But somethings are worth paying for.
Tanya Chutkan.
An Obama appointed judge voted in unanimously with McConnell leading the senate.
She's an absolute baddass and she's got no patience for bullshit. She was picked at random, and holds the standard for giving out the harshest sentences to Jan 6ers
This is so childish. "If you don't self-sacrifice when no one else is, then you, you're the one I'm going to call out."
Shaming someone for not being the one to make a change you want to see happen on a systemic level while doing nothing to fix the system is such a child's take.
