  2. It was the Interclub 10 mile Time Trial yesterday and my club, Dukinfield CC (a.k.a. The Duks), had four riders in it. Pictured (L-R) David "Bam Bam" Bamford, Karen Newby, Ash Cooney, Emidio Santos and Steve Holt (didn't ride, was marshalling). Ash was the fastest Duk in a time of 28:10, an amazing effort in his first ever TT. Great efforts by all involved. So a solo 80km Sunday ride for me out to #Siddington to meet the guys and catch up. Top. #Duks #TimeTrial #GoAsh #BikeTooter #BikeToot #Cycling

  3. The drug-induced utopias of four Coney Island people are shattered when their drug additions cause them to hear voices, build a baseball diamond, and summon the 1919 Chicago White Sox.

  4. Abandoned fairgrounds and theme parks always have a special atmosphere. I once visited an actual, dilapidated theme park, which was quite eerie. I also think of Coney Island in The Division 2, which is beautifully designed. A similar atmosphere can be found in Alan Wake II.

  5. If you ever want to be a federal judge, or more importantly, a Justice on the US Supreme Court, the best way is to just lie during your Senate confirmation.

    Because there are no repercussions.

    • For much of the year, U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. and the five other conservatives were in the majority ruling for Trump.
    • The court has been criticized for handing down temporary unsigned orders with little or no explanation.

    WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court, led by Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr., ended the first year of President Trump’s second term with a record of rulings that gave him much broader power to control the federal government.

    In a series of fast-track decisions, the justices granted emergency appeals and set aside rulings from district judges who blocked Trump’s orders from taking effect.

    With the court’s approval, the administration dismissed thousands of federal employees, cut funding for education and health research grants, dismantled the agency that funds foreign aid and cleared the way for the U.S. military to reject transgender troops.

    But the court also put two important checks on the president’s power.

    In April, the court twice ruled — including in a post-midnight order — that the Trump administration could not secretly whisk immigrants out of the country without giving them a hearing before a judge.

    Upon taking office, Trump claimed migrants who were alleged to belong to “foreign terrorist” gangs could be arrested as “enemy aliens” and flown secretly to a prison in El Salvador.

    Supreme Court rules against Trump, bars National Guard deployment in Chicago, Dec. 23, 2025

    Roberts and the court blocked such secret deportations and said the 5th Amendment entitles immigrants, like citizens, a right to “due process of law.” Many of the arrested men had no criminal records and said they never belonged to a criminal gang.
    Those who face deportation “are entitled to notice and opportunity to challenge their removal,” the justices said in Trump vs. J.G.G.

    They also required the government to “facilitate” the release of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who had been wrongly deported to El Salvador. He is now back in Maryland with his wife, but may face further criminal charges or efforts to deport him.

    And last week, Roberts and the court barred Trump from deploying the National Guard in Chicago to enforce the immigration laws.

    Trump had claimed he had the power to defy state governors and deploy the Guard troops in Los Angeles, Portland, Ore., Chicago and other Democratic-led states and cities.

    The Supreme Court disagreed over dissents from conservative Justices Samuel A. Alito, Clarence Thomas and Neil M. Gorsuch.

  14. Interesting informed commentary on Trump v CASA. (Source withheld, and further paraphrased here, because it was posted privately but its key point bears repeating.)

    Much has been reported on this decision as supposedly greenlighting the effective end of
    #birthright #citizenship by blocking the #nationwide #injunctions and forcing each separate person harmed to individually sue. But critically, that's not actually what the decision said.

    Paraphrased and distilled, what the majority opinion said is that the birthright citizenship question is not ripe for SCOTUS review yet, but the nationwide injunctions are problematic
    because the lower courts failed to properly document exhaustive examination of possible lesser remedies and how they all fail to deliver complete relief. The Supreme Court therefore remanded the case back to the lower courts and gave them 30 days to complete that full documentation of examination, in order to rigorously show that a nationwide injunction is actually necessary. "This is the big gun; if you're going to use it, you need to meticulously dot every i and cross every t in your explanation of why you pulled it out, and you didn't."

    Of particular note, Amy Coney Barrett essentially said, "Look, we agree that this is
    absolutely necessary, but you need to document that properly and show your work. Come back when you've done that, and the Court will be on your side."

    The majority, however slim, on the Supreme Court are not opposed to the invocation of nationwide injunctions to protect birthright citizenship. What the Court objected to was
    failing to properly show the necessity of those nationwide injunctions. It's an important distinction.
