I'm sure they're watching the reddit situation very closely.

The beauty of this fediverse thing is, that... if you don't like it you can make your own instance and do the thing you want there instead. Bye.

Unfortunately, she's dead which means she will never even have the capacity to understand what her decision meant.

I don't know, I like Sotomayor. And Brown-Jackson seems alright. And I really don't have much opinion on Kagan aside from the fact that I usually agree with her rulings. As for Conservatives, I disagree with all of them almost always, but Gorsuch at least seems to care about consistency, and I think his views on Native affairs is admirable.

This is like when fast food places ask if you want to round your order up to the next dollar to donate to x cause.

There is a term that describes this behavior that we've been using for at least decades (to describe behavior that has happened since the inception of capitalism): rent seeking.

If you are getting this upset and offended by "Peaches Christ..." By those words. By a silly pseudonym of a performer... Maybe it's time to reevaluate your life, and what you consider important.

Are you also offended by the title "Jesus Christ Superstar"?
