Anyone can be nominated, so it depends entirely on who is President at the time.

Roberts himself was (briefly) a nominee for associate justice when William Rehnquist died, but Bush pulled that nomination and put his name in for chief instead. So it doesn't even have to be a current Supreme Court Justice who replaces him.

Neither is Russia, but the ICC still issued warrants for the arrest of several leaders after they invaded Ukraine.

I'd love to see the next Democratic administration just let them take him and all his cronies.

For an appearance at South by Southwest in March, she wore a custom T-shirt that parodied one of Zuckerberg’s own design. Where his is emblazoned with the phrase “aut Zuck aut nihil,” a riff on the Latin “either a Caesar or nothing,” hers read “mundus sine caesaribus”—“a world without Caesars.” (The company started selling the shirts for forty dollars apiece and made more money in a day than it had in two years of selling domains.) In Bluesky’s founding documents, taking a lesson from Twitter’s history, Graber introduced a slogan: “The company is a future adversary.” In other words, they must design their platform today in such a way that, even if new leadership eventually jettisons their guiding principles, the thing they’ve created will remain impossible to abuse.

I'm sure they can't sell t-shirts forever, but the idea behind the ATProto is that your data is portable, so even if some asshole billionaire buys it up, you can just move to another compatible service with minimal disruptions.

Compatible services are limited, but there are options. https://help.eurosky.tech/article/9-migrating-to-eurosky

In addition, we will begin developing a subscription model for features like higher quality video uploads or profile customizations like colors and avatar frames. Bluesky will always be free to use — we believe that information and conversation should be easily accessible, not locked down. We won’t uprank accounts simply because they’re subscribing to a paid tier.

You want someplace with the infrastructure to support lots of people (or a few people for a long time), but little local population to compete for those resources. National parks are generally well stocked, with water and lodging to support peak tourist season, but at least in the western US, most are pretty far from major metropolitan areas.

Grand Canyon and Yellowstone have a lot to offer in a zombie apocalypse.

My "unbelievable fact" I can pull out is that the first time I shot a gun, it was at my high school. My small town only had one indoor shooting range, and it was at the high school gym.

If food were just about cold, hard, logical choices based on nutrition alone, we'd all just eat Soylent Red and Yellow.

People trade long-term detriment for short-term enjoyment all the time.

Yep. People tend to think of the big 5-10 names that are on every corner, but the FDIC insures over 4,000 banks in the US.
