It’s inaccurate to say Mario is brave and Luigi is cowardly

Luigi is afraid of death, so he runs away from danger. Mario is afraid of living, so he runs towards death. Both brothers are cowards in their own way

Tax law scholar Lawrence Zelenak observes, “April 15 can and should be as important a civic holiday as the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November. Together, the two days celebrate the fulfillment of the two great responsibilities of citizenship.”

The filing of the income tax return offers an opportunity to mark this achievement. Riffing on Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr.’s famous quip, “I like to pay taxes. With them I buy civilization,” Zelenak calls for greater recognition of how filing an income tax return constitutes a “Purchase-of-Civilization Ceremony.”

Happy tax day! This should be a civic holiday, we should have a parade and give out taxpayer awards.

If you get into a “who can cut taxes more” battle with the GOP, you’re going to lose because they are far more shameless and antagonistic to the idea of living in a functioning society.

Don’t concede to their framing that taxes are nothing but a problem to be solved.

And, fwiw, that Verge bsky post _might_ be misleading?

Discord will attempt to infer some information about your age without an ID or face scan, similar to what Meta/Google/etc do, so hopefully many people won't be subjected to the more privacy-invasive scans.

But who knows?

45* people participating on the first "daily" of Season 4 of the Daily Star, and 36 (so far) on the weekly 100 coin. The most players any star had during last season was 32. So thankful for everyone's enthusiasm - hope the new season continues to be really fun!
