Yeah he just needs to go away. He doesn't have the judgment or decency to run for office. First a drunken Nazi tattoo that he didn't question for decades and now this. As a parent of an amazing autistic girl, this word is the N word for us.
France says goodbye Windows, hello Linux!
Positive News: France has announced its plan to ditch Windows & switch to Linux for government desktops. 🥳 🇫🇷
Not only that, but they have also moved 80, 000 National Health Insurance Fund Employees to open source alternatives replacing U.S owned Big Tech platforms like Microsoft Teams & Zoom.
I am always garbage
Yep, Idahoans can be pedantic and petty as shit when necessary
Also calm down that our state is the reason we are in this mess. Considering how the major metro areas in every swing state have more population than our entire state with our 4 electoral votes. Yeah it's our fault. Take your frustration to Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Michigan.
I didn't vote for him. It's been thirty years of dogshit supermajority IDGOP politics. Just pointing out why McGrane didn't roll over. Also helps that our SecState isn't beholden to the governor and is directly elected.
The only things most Idahoans hate more than "liberals" are Californians and people telling us to do something. We're like the pugs of state populations. Hell our state capitol location was the result of a heist.

One of the greatest issues in America is that there is significantly more infrastructure in our society, policy, and culture to help you stay rich than there is to help you not be poor.
Ok this thread alone has inspired me to pick it up. Also this whole thread has a distinct @jeffgerstmann.com playing Super Mario Special vibe.
Oh really?? I'd never heard of that. I'll give it a peek thanks!
Please, please @pfannyyy.bsky.social @christinalords.bsky.social save us from that hell
I always love the ICS coverage of idleg but one recommendation that would be great for me would be adding a breakdown of the votes for these articles that discuss something passing or not. Otherwise, trying to track down voting records requires navigating the abomination that is the legislature site
Nope. This post is not antisemitic.
Dammit. Shaq not shaw. How dare Google autocorrect Big Aristotle.
Am waiting to see the background that suddenly makes you a capable analyst for political psychology and electorate sentiments. Which, hot damn, maybe I'm wrong there too and you're an endowed professor in that exact field! If so then again, Shaq apology.
From my own lived experience it would be during the ICE shit show in MN was when your posts first darkened my doorstep. Which btw great work there, all the ups for that. And maybe you were big before and I didn't know, and if so then as Shaw said I'm sorry I wasn't familiar with your game. I still
The best and worst part of Internet life is watching weenies who got some measure of spotlight in one very specific interaction or point in time trying desperately to pivot into some other source of relevancy.
Oh fuck off already with your armchair political psychology analysis. What are your credentials to be making sweeping claims about the political electorate both now and historically? Did you pick up a PhD from the parking lot of the ICE hotel?
Oh Jesus Christ, it's a social media website, not Kristallnacht. FFS, the Internet is awful and will always be awful, stop bitching about it. Also who is we? Now I have to take admonitions for action from a guy who, as far as I've been able to grok, has followers because he stalks ICE agents? GTFOH.
The relative number of constituents being a necessary component of an office's importance or potential for harm doesn't make sense. I would ask, if 780k is too much, how much is a good fit for a first timer?
This is astonishing—a rhetoric steeped so deeply in New York's ethnic history, in grass-roots urban progressivism, in the immigrant experience in the United States.
It's not "you should be in solidarity with others," it's "you always have been, we all always have been."
fuckery afoot. Which is possible and probably true at some level, esp considering Kat's positions on some stuff. I don't know why Will would get caught up there though. The argument that Kat is too young and has largely gained a name via social media is an odd complaint coming from Will though.
Most definitely and I agree there. All dark money orgs suck fundamentally. That's why I think it's critical that we assume, esp on social media, that people aren't being shadow antisemitic unless there's some more clear language used. Like that guy didn't say that, just that there may be some AIPAC
Out someone for being an AIPAC shill BECAUSE they are Jewish or something then can we pump the brakes on the antisemitism nonsense? Someone can be a shill for AIPAC, just like any other lobbying group, and as long as you don't make new world order style claims about that then it's not antisemitic.
Would be a bad elected official. She is young, but a woman. If she was a 26 year old man, I'd be more concerned. Otherwise being a social media influencer/journo/whatever seems weird to those of us who remember the before times. But for her generation those are real jobs. But unless someone calls
Has. It's ok to say hey I think she's too young. That's an arbitrary belief not based on any kind of data or evidence on the relative capability of elected leaders based on age, and likely something she'll have to deal with. I don't think someone's age is, by definition, a reason to believe they
I also don't really see that takeaway in any of the posts before this one. Maybe the person was saying that Will is posting criticisms of Kat's age BECAUSE AIPAC is funneling money to Will, but he doesn't explicitly say that. More that there appears to be shenanigans, which shocker every election
Here's an idea, the government should never be permitted to exploit human psychology in the design, implementation, or structure of any publicly funded service or function.
Oooo Todd, if you're willing to throw down on dark patterns in the design of processes and systems then have I got a lot to tell you about!
