The supreme court is behaving exactly as ultra conservative republicans would behave.
Ultra conservative republicans do not base their opinions in law either.

The Universe Is Trying To Tell Us Something
Truth is the reward for our courage to face the unknown.
Truth is the reward for our courage to face not knowing.
The pursuit of truth is the only thing that will expand understanding, compassion, humility.
Truth, the pursuit of truth, is the only way we can grow.
How can a galaxy, a tree, or even a single leaf, ever again be just backdrop to human folly once you have seen them, truly seen them, for what they are. There is beauty within beauty within beauty, complexity within complexity. Knowing then, lends perspective in ways that tear down false frames of reference that foster egocentrism and shallow human construct - helping us to the truths beyond.
Love in Paris

How does one make a roof vent, a speaker, and loosely placed colored lights, charming? Ask the French.
Yuliya and I sat outside this restaurant one evening along with an older couple a few tables away.
Charming evolved into magical, as darkness fell.
The old couple held hands the entire time.

The Emperor Has No Clothes
Shortly after announcing his intent to acquire Twitter Mr. Musk laid out his vision: “Free speech is the bedrock of a functioning democracy, and Twitter is the digital town square where matters vital to the future of humanity are debated.”
Town halls occur in one place - town halls. Everyone at the town hall must listen to everything being said, to include opposing viewpoints. This tends to bring people together.
You know, sort of the opposite of what occurs on Twitter, where people choose to read only that which supports their own viewpoints thus dramatically amplifying divisiveness and anger.
If Mr. Musk is really that naïve, or clueless, is it any wonder he is about to single-handedly destroy the world's largest social media platform?
Mr. Musk has exhibited genius over the years, possessing a spectrum of brilliance. But understanding people - be it on social media, his own employees, or society in general – does not appear to be on his spectrum.
Mr. Musk, you want to save Twitter? - leave.
Say Hello to God
Space is not continuous to zero. The smallest distance possible is 1.616255(18)×10−35 m = Plank's length.
In other-wards space is pixelated.
Pixelation usually implies display and/or digital format.
A universe consisting of holographic display or digitized information argues for simulation.

Whew
Today I flew over the Chicxulub crater left by an asteroid that struck the earth 66 million years ago. The asteroid slammed into the earth on the northern tip of the Yucatan peninsula, killing off most, if not all, of the dinosaurs.
Just think, had I left just slightly earlier (geologically speaking) that asteroid would have first hit my plane, wiping out me and all on board.
Whew!
