This is because of the embedded tweets. They don’t load right away, and when they finish loading they make the page longer, so if you’re at the bottom before they finish, you’ll end up somewhere above where you were.
But I have a feeling this won’t be an issue much longer because it’s just a matter of time until Musk kills embedded tweets.
Same thing happens on pages where the damn embedded videos just keep following you around; they make the page jump around like a frog on a dynamite pond.
I finally learned how to get rid of the damn Temu ads; it took going into settings for blocking adult content and adding temu.com to the list of blocked sites. I’m leaning towards reinstating NoScript as an extension, even if it does become a real PITA when trying to view multimedia content.
Oregon Supreme Court to decide if state GOP legislators who were absent 10 or more times to deny the legislature a quorum can run for reelection despite a voter approved constitutional amendment that says they can’t. They are claiming the amendment doesn’t mean what it says.

Worse is the roofing guys. They’ll offer you a “free inspection” and then once they’re up on the roof and you’re no longer watching them, they start damaging the gutters, prying up the shingles, etc.
They’ll come down and put concerned looks on their faces, telling you that while the roof is OK for now, you should probably replace the whole damn thing because it’ll leak sooner or later.
A few weeks/months later, the damage they did cascades, there’s a failure and water gets in. So who you gonna call then? Why, the nice forward-thinking guys who told you to replace the roof, and you (blaming yourself) didn’t take them up on it at the time …

The interpretation they are asking the Court to adopt is obviously nonsense; here’s hoping the Justices use some common sense in ruling against them.

Tell me what the fuck Congress and legislators around the country are doing to prevent the next one.
Because thoughts and prayers are never the answer to mass shootings, unless you want mass shootings to continue.
You know what makes mass shootings inevitable? GOP/NRA fuckers blocking sensible gun regulation and banning assault rifles. Mass shootings accelerated as an event after the assault weapons ban was allowed to expire. That’s why we see all these mass shootings.
The ease with which someone can buy a gun that has no business being on the streets and then use it to commit mass carnage is why it’s the weapon of choice for domestic terrorists and mass shooters alike. They know how easy it is to obtain and that
GOP and NRA are blocking all efforts to rein in the sale of these weapons.
GOPers don’t mind the carnage and the violence, even as they’re the ones claiming that they abhor crime rates.
Know what would reduce crime rates? Gun regulations that make it harder to get guns. It would save lives, save health care costs, reduce all the ancillary costs to society, and yet the GOP does nothing except offer up empty platitudes and tots and pears.
Fuck the GOP. They offer the nation nothing but a nihilistic worldview that ends in calamity.

Many women use abortion as a form of birth control, you know, in certain segments of society, and it’s just shocking and sad, but this is where we are. When you break up the nuclear family, when you tell a generation of people that life has no value, no meaning, that it’s expendable, then you do wind up with school shooters.”— Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA), in a 2015 interview.
Sounds like a great argument *for* gun control

In Seven States, Removing Voters from the Rolls Just Got Easier
In April 2021, Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear (D) signed a bipartisan voting bill into law that made several key reforms to Kentucky elections, like early voting, drop boxes and voting centers. But the bill also included some provisions that could risk voter purges — the law requires registrations to be deleted within five days of receiving a notice that they registered in a new jurisdiction like another state. The law doesn’t require voters be notified in case the information is wrong or there are mistakes, leaving voters with no recourse to prevent their registrations from being wrongly canceled.

I early voted today for local school board at the local library. Extremely straightforward.
I fear low turnout off year election is going to result in some way less than desirable folk making it onto the board. Then it’ll be 6 months to tear down a good school system and twenty or more years to recover.

To be fair to Andy, if he had vetoed the law, the GOP supermajority in the state legislature would’ve overridden his veto, and it would’ve become law anyway.

re: #47 Backwoods Sleuth
Now that Mike Johnson has gained the spotlight, I don’t expect his “pleasant” smiling mask to remain his public face for long.
re: #46 Dangerman
Know what stresses a nuclear family? The fact that wages don’t keep up with costs of living. Minimum wage and wages overall stagnated for all but the ownership caste, and ownership wages/compensation grew exponentially while everyone else saw slow/no growth.
That forced more 2-parent wage earners into the job market, required child care, and all the added costs. Crime and gun violence thanks to leaded gas (and the scientists who thought that leaded gas and leaded everything was a good idea in the first place). Reduce the lead exposures, and you reduce crime. More guns = more violence and broken homes. Influx of guns into poor communities and communities of color. Racist policing and discrimination that continues to this day.
Yeah, it’s abortion and lack of good Christian families. Fuck him and the Christofascist horse he rode in upon.

USAF base in New Jersey posts on Facebook about a lockdown due to an active shooter reported.
A Daily Beast article says;
The Maine bulletin also said that, according to authorities, Card “recently reported mental health issues,” which allegedly included “hearing voices and threats to shoot up the National Guard Base in Saco, ME.”
Not his target, but where is he?
Michael Cohen’s testimony got so far under Trump’s skin that he is lashing out at his favorites in the media and using imaginary words.https://t.co/jFLMuHlnC8

re: #73 Yeah Sure WhatEVs
What on earth is he talking about? What witness? What appeal?
The witness he is referring to is Cohen.
The appeal he is referring to is the appeals court said in June that the statute of limitations prevented any charges for anything prior to 2014. Engoron then ruled that evidence from prior to 2014 would be allowed to prove charges that occured after 2014. That’s my best guess anyhow.
Trump spits things out in a stream of conciousness and one sentence does not necessarily have to be connected to the next.

Confederate monument melted down to create new, more inclusive public art
The massive bronze sculpture of Confederate General Robert E. Lee, in uniform, astride his horse Traveler, stood in a downtown Charlottesville park for nearly a century. It was at the center of a deadly white nationalist rally in 2017, when Neo-Nazis and white supremacists tried to stop the city’s plans to remove the statue.
It came down to cheers in July of 2021.
snip
Lawsuits to stop the project failed, and last weekend organizers moved forward, with great secrecy, to disassemble and melt down the Lee monument.
The work is being done at an out-of-state foundry. NPR agreed not to reveal its location or the identity of the workers because they fear repercussions.
They use a torch to score the head of the statue, in the pattern of a death mask. Lee’s face falls to floor with a loud clank.

Lee, like every Confederate General and C.S.A. office holder, should’ve been strung up for treason, every plantation should’ve been given to the freedmen and the Union army should’ve occupied the South for as long as it took to secure the rights of all Americans. Instead, the modern Confederates are doing everything SCOTUS will allow to deny Black Americans their rights.
re: #150 Backwoods Sleuth
Charlottesville’s Robert E. Lee statue has met its end, in a 2,250-degree furnace.
The divisive Confederate monument, the focus of the deadly “Unite the Right” rally in 2017, was secretly melted down and will become a new piece of public art.

NASA’s James Webb Telescope Captures an Astounding Photo of the Gaseous Pillars of Creation
thisiscolossal.com
The red areas around the new stars can be studied in greater detail. The image is just amazing!
[A] composite recently released from the James Webb Space Telescope uses near-infrared light to highlight the region in even more detail.
This new 122-megapixel photo features a deep-blue expanse studded with light, and the pillars themselves appear less opaque than in the earlier shot. When cropped, the new image shows the Eagle Nebula, located 6,500 light-years away. The bright red fiery orbs apparent from this view are new stars, which are formed “when knots with sufficient mass form within the pillars of gas and dust… begin to collapse under their own gravity (and) slowly heat up.”

re: #149 Shiplord Kirel: From behind wingnut lines
When I was 5 and my sister was 6, my father worked for a time in the Hague. We took a trip one weekend to Volendam. My mother had dressed us up in traditional Dutch clothing to look much like that fisherman and wife portrait. We encountered a lot of American tourists who photographed us as ‘genuine traditional Dutch children.’
I’d love to see those family albums.
I just left the courthouse where Sam Bankman-Fried was still testifying without a jury present, giving rambling, vague answers that didn’t address the prosecutor’s questions. Judge admonished him. Tons of “I can’t recall.” Inability to give simple answers. Seemed bad.

Since same sex marriage is now legal, it would seem that Johnson’s only objection now should be if the parties are not married to each other. Isn’t that right?

It should be noted that the hard right wing/Incel alliance from Hell also desires young women to be the actual property and control of fathers. The daughters would basically be bought and sold for marriage.
Sex outside of marriage being a criminal act plays into this desire for control ensuring young men get virgins, or so their theory goes. The pathetic losers who I knew that just hung out in their dorm rooms in college before the Internet feeling sorry for themselves are now well organized into a self-propagating circle jerk of misery and hate. The amount of social media and You Tube space allotted to this movement came as a shock to me when I first started looking into it.
Right wing Women grifters and misogynist black men who otherwise would not ally themselves with these racist-adjacent assholes find common ground and blindly lean into helping them them and into their own eventual subjugation once democracy is gone.

On the Notion of a Trump 2024 Election Win: aGaaaah! I’m trying to imagine staffing the cabinet of a Trump administration, who would be secretary of state who would be secretary of defense or chief of staff, or any of his counsel given the myriad of legal and reputational problems everyone in 45th Presidency had, who were already kind of a bottom of the barrel persons. Damn it’s a truly terrifying notion And given that Trump is who he is, any state that votes for him in majority has to go on my list of Do I really need to go there? Kind of places, no matter how enticing they may be, but I have that luxury of staying here in Southern California right on the edge of red state America
