Republicans loved gerrymandering as long as their opponents were committed to fair maps. Now that Dems are responding in kind, conservatives aren’t having as much fun. But the only thing worse than constitutional hardball is unilateral constitutional hardball. (🎁) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...
Only somewhat related, but my wife wanted to watch 5th Element yesterday and I noticed how many "ugly"/interesting looking people were cast in that movie and how I feel like you don't see that anymore. BUT THEN there are also like a million super hot models cast in every single service job too
Cheers ped, you got this!! Have a Guinness 0 after for me!!
O brother where art thou!
I have no doubt that they'll show up to that game and give us a rough time. But I don't see them not getting destoryed by PSG
Seeeeeems pretty likely at the moment
I hate having to do the "look, they're normal just like us" post, but sometimes you have to do that when American propaganda tries to convince everyone Iranians are "animals".
does this administration only hire weird voiced freaks?
She can def do it!!
Let me know if you end up signing up for anything so I can be super jealous of you.
I hope wren enjoys the woodworking stuff! Is she doing it for furniture? I’m not taking classes but I am messing around in my basement. I just finished my woodworking bench two weeks ago.
I think because new england has older homes, a few programs exist like that. This is just a quick and dirty google, but maybe here are some resources for chicago and the midwest. bungalows101.com/old-house-cl...
He's got a lot of vidoes on that stuff! But I'm with you 1000000%. If I had the money to quit my job I'd go to this school in Boston called North Bennet Street and do their historic carpentry program. The guy from the vidoes went in the early 90s which is why he cares about it.
One great thing he has been doign is help his daughters fix up their very modest mid century house and obviously it's a much smaller scale than the mansions he does professionally.
I've been following this dude on youtube the last year and he does restoration on old buildings and builds new buildings with similar quality. But it's wild how expensive it is. He says he tries to build with real, reparable materials that will last 100-200 years not 35, like houses now.
Literally same house, before and after. It's gotta be a 2 million dollar reno, WHAT ARE THOSE WEIRD FAKE BUTTRESSES?????
And it's another example of devaluing experts. Like rather than developers who love buildings, it's developers who have MBA brains and just try to squeeze money out of it. Which is a double whammy of being cheap/lazy, and having no taste.
Look at this fucking house near me:
Here's the old town hall in marblehead which is still there and has been maintained for like 299 years
And because of that marblehead is SO fucking cute. And I'm not blaming poor people, it's definitely, like you said, the developers landlords doing quick fixes and pushing crap quality on people who cant afford anything else.
It's really stark in parts of Boston. I'm on the border of Lynn and Swampscott. Lynn has been in a lower economic bracket the last 50 years and all the nice exterior house details have slowly gone away. Swampscott is like 50-50 and then one further city away is Marblehead, which has always been rich
yeah and like why the hell are democratic law makers getting involved with that sort of legeslation. That's weird GOP shit.
yeah definitely a weird RETVRN politics things. I don't think there should be laws saying what should and shouldn't be taught. It should be decided by former educators in education departments
Once a week is pretty often! I haven't written in cursive in years. Weirdly though, i kind of think it's a valuable skill to have from a culture perspective. To know more about typography and graphic design. Also being able to read an old text or whatever.
Real time footage of Beto closing down every time Sanchez had the ball
He can take like 6 HUGE strides and get by almost anybody.
I think there’s a pretty strong argument that ineptitude meant Everton weren’t punished in the same season as the infraction and deliberately ignoring proper punishment is benefitting city and Chelsea.
That’s a valid point. But combining them into a single season wouldn’t have been fair.
Still would strongly argue that city and Chelsea have benefitted far far more.
We were a kick from going down and they tried to apply multiple seasons of punishment into one season, so I’m not sure how we benefited. They wanted us to be made an example of. The biggest club they could get away with relegating via points. Chelsea and City have truly benefited frm poor punishment
I haven’t tried this myself but I’ve heard tell of baking the smells out of them.
if you get specific, I wouldn't consider it a filter because it's non-deterministic. If you put one image in today, you won't get the same image out tomorrow. It's always changing based on randomness, and that's worse in my opinion.
