Last week, a person with the Twitter handle @arizonasunblock from Tampa, Florida, noticed that Bradley, who has been on the high court since 2015, appeared to make major changes to her Wikipedia biography earlier this year.

“It’s so unfair that my own words can be written down for posterity!”
Tell me she doesn’t know that just because you’ve edited a Wikipedia page, that the previous version still exists, and is likely to draw attention and discussion because of your edits.
And is super easy to revert to the prior version too. It’s basically two clicks to make it happen. And then have an admin protect the page to only allow established editors so randos can’t do this with just an IP address again.
Just in case she happened to read my comment, I didn’t want to use the word “revert” in order to avoid confusion.
I love too that she mentioned, “REAL OPINIONS” as if those are more valid than the exact words she said.
It said “Actual Opinion” not “Real Opinions”.
I’m pretty sure opinion doesn’t mean what you think it does. When a judge writes up an opinion it’s a bit stronger than me saying what I do or don’t like or how I feel about something. Same as between scientific theory and the other definition.
Her judicial opinions are the exact words she wrote, though.
So cool that the course of this country is in part shaped by dumb cunts like her and Clarence Uncle Thomas over there.
I’ve been holding back on calling Clarence that for weeks because I thought I would get banned, which would piss me off with a cherry on top since I’m ✊🏿
Oh shit! Maajmaaj is offering free fistings! Sign up before Lindsey Graham wears their arm out
…I’m going to have to figure out why your comment halfway scared the fuck out of me. Please note, I have two arms, so there’s no rush.
That’s usually the first reaction to discovering a new fetish.
Thomas and that other guy in florida that helped craft the new educational standards with comments like “[slaves] learned new skills they could use for personal gain…” make me wonder why the hell america hasn’t already collapsed in on itself already
He’s a rude guy and he’s ruining this beautiful country, he deserves it. Fuck him.
I can’t comment on the use of “Uncle Tom” specifically.
But we ought not to use insults like that ever. By using them on people who “deserve it”, we are basically saying these terrible things are true, but we usually don’t say them because it’s rude. A better way to think is that we don’t use discriminatory insults/slurs because the hatred they represent is completely without merit.
You do you, I will use the words I’ve chosen to use.
Luckily, this isn’t Reddit.
People still get banned on lemmy. I’ve seen at least 4 accts with a lil red “banned” or “banned from community” tags on them during my time here.
Yeah, but not necessarily for the same disregarding-of-context enlightened-centrist enforcing-of-“civility” bullshit that Reddit banned people for.
We’re just using racial slurs now? Come on, that’s over the line.
I don’t think that’s a racial slur my guy, a dictionary indicates it’s slang for female genitalia.
I believe they’re referring to the use of Uncle Thomas, which while perhaps semantically appropriate is definitely a racially charged moniker.
I almost wish there was a blackness verification system on a Lemmy. Almost. It’s a fuckin terrible idea, and I can’t believe I participated in one on Snoozerville.
Gosh dang LiBrUlS at it again!
Right!! They never got no treddfiddy neither for us!! Lol
