I don’t understand why literally every Democrat in the Senate didn’t line up to filibuster this bill. Booker’s performative filibuster was toothless. This could actually have done something to change public policy.

You jest, but I can assure you that alligator is delicious.
My cousin got acupuncture treatments for alpha gal a couple of months ago. She went out for a steak after her last session and wound up in the hospital.
American Atheists is an organization that will happily take dues and send you a membership card in return.
My representative, who is generally a pretty progressive guy, is on this list. A local journalist asked about his vote, and the statement from his office was that the congressman is waiting for a classified briefing on the Iran strikes to help determine whether the president broke the law.
I know that we live in a world where we expect not only a 24-hour news cycle, but 24-hour resolutions to all issues. Having a solid argument and proper evidence for impeachment is the sort of thing that moves more slowly than we would like.
I was raised in the Assemblies of God, and I’m fairly sure that I knew an age-appropriate definition of adultery by kindergarten. Something along the lines of “breaking your marriage vows by being in a romantic relationship with another person.”
I definitely knew the actual definition of abortion by kindergarten because my church had fucked-up priorities.
Yes! Diablo for everyone!
I’ll be listening to Nirvana and playing Symphony of the Night in my room. You’re welcome to come down the hall to hang out any time.
This is exactly as reasonable as any recipe review I’ve ever read. Which is why I stopped reading recipe reviews.
Which honestly seems to be an overwhelming majority of people.
Tech companies took a pretty good predictive text mechanism and called it “intelligent” when it obviously isn’t. People believed the hype, so greedy capitalists went all in on a cheaper alternative to their human workers. They deserve to lose business over their stupid mistakes.
I wonder if that’s a financially feasible scenario. I assume the National Guard gets some amount of federal funding and maybe access to equipment that a state militia wouldn’t have access to.
The Wikipedia article you linked indicates that a large part of what the CSG does is directly in conjunction with the National Guard. If they’re toothless without the federal group, then it wouldn’t make sense to change the system.
In Colombia I get a shocking number of voice messages via WhatsApp. I got a 4-minute message from my landlord last week that had 20 seconds of actual information.
The transcribe option in the app is reasonably good, but it’s not 100% accurate.
I recall that he was also in favor of charter schools, which made him non-viable for me years ago.
I hoped that maybe he had a real change of heart last month, but I guess that was just a publicity stunt.
If it’s really like Covid, toilet paper will be the first thing to go.
I call this “the Fox News approach to reality.”
I’m not, really. I just don’t think we have the luxury of taking the amount of time that we would need to educate people thoroughly enough to counteract the algorithm.
Probably what we need is a limitation on free speech where blatant misinformation is involved. In the same way that shouting “Fire!” in a crowded theatre is harmful, so is repeating false claims to stir political discord.
If you’re old enough to draw your full Social Security payment, you’re too old to hold public office.
Sorry, Bernie. You’re one of the good ones, but you’ll have to make sacrifices for the common good.
Yup. I’m 45 and I can’t believe that people older than my parents are still running the country.
That’s a procedural rule I wasn’t aware of. Thanks for the clarification.
