In much the same way that Confederate memorabilia is collectable.

As in, "You should avoid anyone who collects this shit. They're probably a white nationalist."

Harvard isn't a person.

According to Citizens United it doesn't matter. Part of that ruling held that both individuals and associations of individuals have a free-speech rights. Or to put it another way, you as a person have a right to free speech, and the right doesn't go away just because you choose to associate with other persons.

So Harvard has a right to free speech, because the individuals who make up "Harvard" have that right.

Phenylephrine is back on the menu, boys!

Because, frustratingly enough, he hasn't actually been convicted yet.

Counterpoint: the fact that the moral "don't kill the goose that lays the golden eggs" even exists is proof that people are indeed greedy and/or stupid enough to do that very thing.

Oh, I see.

You think this is a "politicians don't understand the tech they're supposed to regulate" issue, and not a "Elon Musk is bribing every greedy asshole in Congress to prop up his businesses at taxpayer expense" issue.

Twenty-one offenses? Come on, Andrew Taint is more offensive than that!

And sports:

Disney’s 0.2 point gain over March was partly driven by cross-network coverage of the NFL Draft, the NCAA Women’s Basketball Championship and the first round of the NBA Playoffs.

I don't know if you've noticed, but Americans are real good at ignoring issues that don't affect them personally.

Oh I won't wreck my car, I'm a "good driver"!

I can't catch Covid because it's not real!

School shootings are just false flags the government uses to pass gun control laws!

Donald Trump only wants to remove the dangerous immigrants, not the ones I hire for my business!

Yeah, that's not a deal. That's capitulation.

I've never seen one of those signs, but I drive a pickup and could suggest the issue is a sidewalk. Backing a truck into a spot can cause the bed of the truck to overhang whatever you've backed into, which could block a sidewalk or other walking path. Typically there is less overhang from the front of a vehicle to the front wheels than there is from the rear of the vehicle to the rear wheels, so pulling into a space forward wouldn't impede any walking path as much.

I did say I use Firefox. I was asking those who don't.
