Okay so, we all know how the Earth ends, right? In six billion years or so, the Sun swells up into a red giant, and the Earth gets melted. Pretty straightforward. But it turns out that /life/ on Earth will end long before that. There are reasons to think that the biosphere will collapse about […]

Los Angeles station NBC4 reports that the California Department of Motor Vehicles may have improperly charged tens of thousands of drivers late fees for their vehicle registration.

All signs indicate that the various procedures and instruments invented and used by the European Commission to improve the situation of the rule of law in Hungary have so far not been successful.

Hello, is this thing on? Check one, check two...testing, testing. We're good? Alright alright alright...

* Ukraine & Russia
* America & the Houthis
* 702 renewal
* TikTok & prospects for the divestment bill prevailing vs a First Amendment challenge
* All sorts of Trump litigation
* All sorts of Texas border stuff (invasion as a constitutional concept, state-level war powers, preemption, the limits of preemption, etc.)
* Plus, why do the Mets already suck? It's only been four games. Yeesh.
