I have the utmost respect for Senator Kaine and Senator Warner but we do not need “coaching” on redistricting coming from a cuck chair in the corner. How about you all stay focused on the fascist in the White House and let us handle redistricting in Virginia. 10-1
At least Zyzz looked good.
Back in my day, we just had Zyzz and his ECA stack. A simpler time.
From EARTHSEED: THE BOOKS OF THE LIVING Choose your leaders with wisdom and forethought. To be led by a coward is to be controlled by all that the coward fears. To be led by a fool is to be led by the opportunists who control the fool. To be led by a thief is to offer up your most precious treasures to be stolen. To be led by a liar is to ask to be told lies. To be led by a tyrant is to sell yourself and those you love into slavery.
Octavia E. Butler, 1998:
I guarantee you there is at least one spreadsheet-brained consultant who is telling congressional Dems that keeping Trump in power is great, actually, because he polls worse on every dimension than anyone Republicans would replace him with.
"Oh, may our Stars and Stripes still wave
Forever o'er the fee and brave
Right away (right away), come away (come away)
Right away (right away), come away
And let our motto ever be
Forever Union and for liberty"
Look at this glorious scabby content
I’ve been thinking about this guy almost daily for ten fucking years. essentially my entire 30’s. when he finally croaks I imagine I’ll let out a sigh so deep it realigns my fucking spine
I think it's bad for the President to threaten to annihilate an entire culture and i do not think you are being alarmist if you take his threats seriously and literally.
BREAKING: Pope Leo XIV declares the Iran War is “unjust” and “is not resolving anything.”
After suggesting Trump is committing war crimes by targeting civilian infrastructure, he called on Americans to contact Congress to help end the war.
What happens when people are anonymously allowed to predict absolutely anything at all for unlimited amounts of money, all from the convenience of their back pocket?
Nothing good, in my opinion.
My latest for @thenvindy.com:
When Dems retake the House, this should be their first order of business. Pass two resolutions: One for impeachment, one stating no money will be appropriated until Trump is gone. The former makes clear why the latter is necessary & non-negotiable.
Sometimes readers are skeptical when I tell them that retailers would rather pay for self-checkout kiosks and product lockup systems and all manner of other questionable in-store tech rather than staffing because of an ideological preference for capital spending over labor spending and, well,,,
I'm a bit of a broken record on this, but usurping the power of the purse isn't just one constitutional violation among all the many others. It is, uniquely and singularly, the death of constitutional government altogether. Game over, end of story, you now live in an autocracy.
I love the first episode where you can tell Sisko hates the absolute fuck out of Picard for killing his wife while Borgified and I think it struck such a clear note about what DS9 would be: it would embrace the open mindedness and dream of utopia while also showing the damage of actual life
Every part of the lily plant is deadly to cats - even drinking water that lilies were sitting in can kill them. Other popular spring flowers like tulips and daffodils can also make them very sick, but there are plenty of beautiful and safe alternatives.
After Claudia Goldin became the first woman to win a solo Nobel in economics, she got hundreds of invitations.
She accepted three.
One was advising WNBA players on a labor deal. She helped players land the biggest % raise in US sports history.

RETVRN!! BRING IT BACK
Carter: Colonel!
O'Neill (p90 pointed offscreen): come on, Daniel, what does it say?
Daniel Jackson: well if Im reading this right, they worshipped a being named "Miette", who had the power to imprison you for... one thousand years...
Teal'c: I believe it would be most unwise to awaken this "Miette"
For sale: one cybertruck driver brain, never used.
If Hemingway were writing today, he'd write something like this.
Speaking as someone who works in Carson City, it wouldn't surprise me if it had top-notch heroin.
The last time it had a skyscraper with power on, however, was October 30, 2000 when the Ormsby House closed.
(Yes, we finished "Strip Law". It was funny!)
Downtown Carson City, Nevada. It's a charming small town.
Tagging @hellocullen.bsky.social because I'm 69% sure portraying Carson City as a bustling metropolis was a bit. The state legislature is basically a shoebox (in which I work once every two years and love very much).
When it was announced that Nevada's unemployment agency is rolling out an AI tool to process appeals on unemployment benefit decisions, I wasn't surprised many were skeptical.
So am I, but not for the reason you might think.

I showed this to my teenage son and he said, "I can and will leave this gc."
Much has been said about our current clicktatorship which, unsurprisingly in retrospect, is led by a man who optimized his life for ratings and attention decades ago.
What's less often noticed is that the same drive towards total audience capture drives the moderate poll-worshipping quants, too.
I am once again begging Nevada's "moderate" Democratic senators to put the spreadsheets down.
