Doesn't the ruling say that if the president takes a bribe to give someone an official appointment, that the person was appointed is not admissable as evidence in court?

That's both new, and stupid. But what Roberts wrote in the majority ruling.

Edit: It also states that Trump putting pressure on Pence to change the election results may or may not be an official act, and whether it can be prosecuted is unclear (and whether it can be discussed in law needs an investigation and a ruling, rather than deciding it in a court of law).

Edit II: Romer below said it all far better than me. https://lemmy.autism.place/comment/224475

"The Democrats have fielded the only candidate who could lose against Trump, and the Republicans have the only candidate who could lose to Biden."

Enjoy the 4 specials, I've got the last of the Ncuti Gatwa series to go.

... I don't like gravy, or poorly readable charts.

He is back now, and it's fine.

Much better than Chibnall since RTD actually understands Who.

That's a list of Eurovision hits right there.

Moldova had a good run for a few years. Don't think they've made the finals over the last few though.

Tudi-Voice, Taiwan - Taiwanese modern folk stuff.

Florent Vollant, Canada - interesting indigenous culture based music.

Mulatu Astatke, Ethiopia - Jazz from the 60s and 70s.

Altın Gün, Türkiye/The Netherlands - modern Anatolian psych sounds.

Gwenno, Wales - Gaelic folktronica.

Twinnings is my usual. Pukka, mostly for herbies, and various supermarket ownbrands (not each of them's cheapest ownbrand mind you). Yorkshire is decent, PG tips OK but I never buy the latter myself.

Guizhou Mao Jian (毛尖) of various brands is decent too, if you can find it. More commonly I love an English Breakfast, Earl and Lady Grey, Rooibos, and various herbal concoctions.

Edit: nicest brand of tea I had was TWG, and they were amazing. Too expensive for me to ever buy for myself, though.

I also thought that there were support sperm who basically just help other sperm reach the egg.

Isn't this fairly disproven by science now and sperm fertilising an egg is now seen as more of a group effort?

The loss of roaming territory to the sedentary oppressors might also have something to do with the transition.

I get you're being facietious, but it's more like chimps are monkeys in about the same way a hammerhead shark and a lungfish are different.

At the beginning of each upkeep, lose two life and draw 2 sodas.

I'll say it: milipedes are cute.

FFX-2 has a great battle system, and job based FFs were always the most rewarding to play.

XIII was the point I just decided I didn't care any more. (Also, there's no way that XIII gets to count as retro already, right?)

While centipedes are fine, I've always been much more of a milipede fan.

An actual rush is a very all in strategy, just don't fall too far behind on making combat units and you'll be fine.

Its as true in AoE2 as it is in Starcraft(pick one).

Great fun games, tickle me in a different way to slower, absolutely no rush, 4X games.

Still some of the best party shooters out there. A plethora of game modes, and a co-op story mode as well. The original and FP are great games. 2 took itself a little too seriously in my opinion (and didn't have character select lines) for it to match up to quite the same level.

China Mieville and Ursula Le Guin are both up there are authors who have written things that have felt momentous to read.

But I'm not sure either of them could edge out Terry Pratchett as the author whose work I've enjoyed going back to time and time again, having read most of Discworld at a more formative age probably helps too.

My favourite is the one where they use bananas as proof of God. (Always boring monothiests, too..
