This was always my concern - sure you get to show Messi ball to people around the world, but you lose the "6 pints, oh and also, can you throw the match on that screen for us?" and the "Canucks were getting blown out, rain delay in the baseball but get a load of this game - look at these 2 teams go"
I feel like a lot of donors would have said "hell yeah!" if the org had explained "not all of the money goes to policy research, we actually pay some people to infiltrate these organizations to get the real dirt"
I see it now - had to zoom in to see that's not a darker line forming the shore but actually a steep bank! You had me going last week with that hill climb too, was thinking "but?.... Wisconsin flat?" I live somewhere that has nothing flat and so I probably over-estimate how flat it is elsewhere
I live on the other side of the continent but enjoy maps and cycling, so I'm often trying to figure out the spots you describe in these cycling tweets. My question to you is how does this Milwaukee River run parallel to Lake Michigan for ~15 miles, while being only a mile or two away from the shore?
"I am not going to spend the last productive years of my working life watching this government fragment the national pension system into a provincial experiment run by the same ideological bench that gave us the firewall letter."

C'mon Sidney - there's no space there and the existing Panorama is already almost in Central Saanich
The one true CPAC is Canada's Cable Public Affairs Channel and we're taking the acryonym back.
(I'm really acing the spelling and grammar this morning, eh?)
From your phalanx formation to your Bin Laden assassination mission does not work if 40 free thinkers with their own ideas all take off in different directions doing what they think is best. If you won't cut your hair, make your bed right and get your flu shot, you are not useful to the military
Someone leading a military needs to know that when they decide something that everyone beneath them will go and do that, and go and do it in the way the leader needs it done. Better militaries are distinguished form lesser ones by everyone serving's ability to go and do it in the way the leader asks
Everyone is dunking on the Sun Tzu "actually, an army not laid low by disease is good" angle but let's also remember that the military is necessarily an "un-free" institution. It is "you do what we tell you" from the word go, even down to how you make your bed and cut your hair.

NL East teams are are 9-4 in goose affected games. Though of the 4 losses, 3 of them happened with geese in foul territory down the right field line. Phillies should be optimistic about this
I thought my calculator was an unthinking machine but it's become aware of the existence of boobs. We are not prepared for what's coming.
My mom was always happy to get to the airport early and enjoy a drink or two, because once you are there and checked in your vacation has started
Some lunatic just called my phone (strike 1) and left a "voice mail" (strike 2) in which he failed to fully state his business, suggesting I must call him back to get the whole story. Are you out of your damn mind. Furthermore it is the sabbath

Was always one of my fav Pixies songs but I wondered what it was about. 'Gouge away', 'kill us all', but also 'some marijuana if you got some', 'sleeping on your belly' and a '3 day party'?
Then I read the full lyrics and realized the Samson+Delilah angle - it became my favourite Pixies after that

Donald Trump post "The U.S.A. is the “HOTTEST” Country in the World right now. Just a short time ago, under Sleepy Joe Biden, IT WAS DEAD, LAUGHED AT ALL OVER THE WORLD!!! But not anymore - Nobody’s laughing!!! President DJT"
Trump slowly evolving into dril
There is a reason that we do not have MLAs decide on electoral boundaries. Tossing out the Electoral Boundaries Commission and replacing it with a UCP-dominated committee is not just a bad idea. It is really bad for democracy. Ask the US, ask Hungary. This is not normal!
More popular than ever, more traffic than they know what to do with!

Just a reminder that JD Vance has been a Catholic for less time than Nacho Fries have been on the Taco Bell menu.
The rare time where the doctor says "actually I would like for you to smoke"
wow
wow
"wait, why did you vote that way AI MP, doesn't that conflict with your principals?"
"You're right, Citizen - my mistake, that vote was not consistent with my principals. I have now switched parties to ensure I cast better votes in the future that align with my principals."
Another thought experiment.
Let's say the Liberals won 174 seats in the last election.
And then five Liberals decided to cross the floor to the opposition parties.
Would that be undemocratic because it turned a majority government into a minority government?
Blake provides some solid technocratic economist advice.
But in the age of slopulism there just doesn't seem to be any appetite for policy that delays gratification even minimally.
