I didn't think anyone had any doubt at all that he was guilty. Was there doubt?
With Google Earth or other satellite feed, we can finally easily figure out what the real Fenway dimensions are, because that pole is less than 300 feet from home no doubt.
I've been banging this drum since 2010. The federal government should have printed money and hired anyone and everyone who had enough functioning digits to pick up a hammer. Insulate and air condition every government building. Remove every lead pipe. Abate soil lead in all hot spots.
The lowest hanging fruit in America, the biggest bang for your buck, is universal lead abatement and universal air quality and air conditioning for all schools and daycares. We could invest $100B and get back $15T in health and wealth.
The right is pushing this narrative because it’s the only place they can blame liberals — their actual goal — and gain purchase among elites. The *actual* mistakes during the pandemic all originate on the right: lax lockdowns, weak mitigations and low vaccine uptake
People are bigoted chauvinists everywhere
I thought the rice was in the south, and the north was corn and wheat territory
His brain literally has worms in it.
But I gather the level 2 to level 3 jump in power consumption is huge.
Citgo and Sunoco should be able to be as technically proficient as my local parks and recreation department.
There's no reason a gas station couldn't draw enough power to charge six cars simultaneously. It's not a crazy amount of electricity at all. The parking garage by my office charges six cars. So do the stations at the public park in my town. No panels or batteries at either.
Panels are a distraction, there's zero benefit to producing the solar power onsite, and no way to have enough panels for the power needed. Just draw on the grid to charge cars.
100% confident that this guy has no intelligence, talent, or anything to offer the world
I mean, from the bottom of my heart, fuck this floppy haired dipshit no-talent motherfucker.
This is the way
Just saw someone refer to Cheryl Hines as The Marvelous Mrs. Measles and 💀💀💀💀💀💀
Gotcha.
Why would you say crime remains elevated? Compared to what? It's not high for the US in terms of post WW2 rates. The 90s had elevated crime rates.
"People" are an input to an economy. You need workers to make wealth!
I think you need a plan to make people wealthier, because perceived scarcity probably makes some people more xenophobic.
Sure, but I have no doubt the IT department can disable WiFi on the school owned laptops in a way that 99.8% of the kids aren't going to be able to get around during an in class exam.
No, I lived in Manhattan and Brooklyn from 2003 to 2014. Boston since then.
Gatorade and salted peanuts
Brilliant

I've lived in NYC and Boston for 20+ years and have never seen any significant presence of police helicopters.
Sulla and Marius would have loved yaoi manga
As a teacher, does it seem feasible to you? They could be a bunch of low cost Chromebooks that get taken class to class, doesn't even need to be stationary machines in a lab.
A full hour of Ewok celebration? You're running a risk of severe dehydration.
I don't know why he didn't make a big turn at second!
there's no reason at all that a school can't have a computer lab with no connectivity or limited connectivity machines for conducting exams
I've been on the "mint the coin" train since I first read about the idea in... 2013? Anything to slay the dragon of the debt ceiling is worth doing. One of the most fabulously stupid things about American governance is the debt ceiling.
Many of my college CS exams were handwritten. If you don't understand how to write a good algorithm on paper, I don't think you really understand computer science at all.
I'm thinking about making the plunge.
Not personally, but a friend never stops singing the praises of the ReMarkable 2 tablet. And he's a huge pen and handwriting afficionado.
Maybe I'm misunderstanding you. Is it hard to believe that the GOP, who are lockstep fascists, would be able to intimidate and threaten institutions to do things that the Democrats wouldn't?
What's that? Were intellectuals against people integrating into societies into which they've moved?
Glad to see this point about the role of racism in targeting of Lisa Cook from @nathantankus.bsky.social I do feel it’s been downplayed for exactly the reasons he alludes to
every democrat who does not speak out about this enables it. what the administration is doing here is a large-scale tactic to isolate trans people and strengthen future attacks on us. the gains we have made are built on visibility and public knowledge of us and our needs.
Gotcha, totally legit and understandable way to feel.
I don't have the full statement yet but the Fed has finally spoken *FEDERAL RESERVE: GOVERNORS MAY ONLY BE REMOVED 'FOR CAUSE' *FEDERAL RESERVE WILL ABIDE BY ANY COURT DECISION: FED STATEMENT *FEDERAL RESERVE: REMOVAL PROTECTIONS SERVE AS SAFEGUARD
Horseshit. It is their fault, too. They have feet. Walk the fuck away before doing Nazi at the order of a fascist.
If you went on a long walk with Taft and Trump, Trump would have to stop first, no doubt in my mind.
Taft was 51 when he was president. He was absolutely more physically fit than Trump is.
I think he's the least fit president of all time, not just your lifetime. And I am absolutely saying he's less fit than FDR.
My wife is preparing a grand jury to indict the rose bushes she was pruning Saturday.
Why? People have all sorts of flavors of identity and meaning in their lives that I know nothing about, and it doesn't exhaust me.
Dear journalists: The President has not fired Lisa Cook. The President is *trying* to illegally fire her. Your words shape people’s reality. Please be accurate in your reporting.
judgment at nuremberg from 1961 is a really interesting movie. spencer tracy and max schell are standouts in a cast with greats like richard widmark, burt lancaster, marlene dietrich, montgomery clift, and a precocious william shatner. quoted post is accidental and i cant figure out how to remove it
On the historical scale of oppression, it was still pretty light

My editorial advice is to imagine presenting it as a speech and let that guide your organization of the document. It'll help with a through line, mid document summation, etc.
Needs an editing pass or two, but nothing in there I disagree with in broad strokes.
The legislature needs to be supreme, and should hire and fire individual managers to serve as department heads. Secretaries of departments should be salaried civil servants. The presidency is an abomination, transparently royalist bullshit that is an embarrassment to free people.
Seems like a silly belief, given history tells of hundreds of examples of tyrants and what, maybe one overbearing legislature?
Buy a euro money market fund.
And our cities aren't going to be in rubble. We won't need a Marshall Plan.
Who knows? But history is full of examples of things changing rapidly. It is not full of examples of "prosperous country falls apart and everything is unendingly terrible forever."
Number Munchers is such a good game I found an emulator version of it to help teach my kids arithmetic. classicreload.com/number-munch...
There's a lot of evidence. It's not part of your job description to be deliberately obtuse.
I don't think the marginal extra fraction of a rep that states like Vermont and Wyoming get do not have an impact on the ultimate House majority or the electoral college.
Why would that make much or any difference at all? If we had 1000 House members instead of 435, and they were apportioned according to state populations... it would end up the same. Maybe worse, maybe it's easier to Gerrymander Texas if it's 80 districts.
what is the weird matte blue Cylindrical Device
Searched a bit, and it's Greg Egan's "Distress."
The novel was on earth, set around 2090 or so, and the different sexes were just the result of medication therapies, gene therapy, and evolution of social mores.
Paul Rudd
Someone wrote a sci fi novel (Greg Egan, I believe) where there were seven well-defined genders in the near future: ultra masc, male, infra masc, neuter, infra fem, female, ultra fem.
Canada does NOT have a system that's open to easy immigration.
Full-throated agreement on this, from Boston.
I continue to be struck by this language of “in accordance with the president’s priorities,” which treats the executive branch as an extension of the person of the president, and not a mechanism for instituting the will of Congress
“go back where your ancestors came from” is always, every time, a reactionary blood-and-soil take. there is no way to launder it into virtuous leftist anti-colonialism because it is complicit in a vision of a bordered world where discrete nations have eternal relationships to special places…
/11 In short, fuck these fascist shitbirds, fuck you if you voted for them, fuck you if you apologize for or countenance them.
It's been two years and so far no issues. But I buy myself phones that are about $270, so I see no need for fancy/expensive equipment ever.
Don't ask where the RF foul pole is in Fenway
We're fairly well off, and the phones we bought our school age kids are $125. They're nice phones at that price.
There are perfectly good smart phones like BLU that cost under $100
In general I think leftists and liberals both are too dismissive of the fact that there are many sadists in power as a causative explanation for the world's problems (liberals prefer to think of everyone as well-meaning but misguided, leftists prefer economic explanations) bsky.app/profile/paul...
Have you considered the people who say they vote for childfuckers because of the way AOC talks are just lying?
If blowing 20,000 orangutans would guarantee a 2026 blue wave, would you blow them?
🤔 Huge if true. Much to consider.
"NPC?" Jesus Christ. You think of yourself as an intellectual?
You speak with the diction of a fucking idiot.
Calm down.
There aren't enough guns or thugs in the country for that. People will be drinking, dancing, fucking in the streets.
I made a promise to the women of Illinois — as governor, I will ensure your medical decisions will be your own. Now, we continue fulfilling that promise. Public colleges will now provide contraception and medication abortion at on-campus pharmacies and student health centers.
It led to an army so shitty that the Nazis killed ten million of them before they finally beat back an enemy they should have whipped easily.
DEMOCRATS: 1. THE WAY TO MOVE PUBLIC OPINION IS TO ATTRACT ATTENTION 2. THE WAY OT ATTRACT ATTENTION IS TO AMPLIFY GENUINE CONFLICT AND REAL CRISIS 3. THE MILITARY OCCUPATION OF WASHINGTON, D.C. IS A GENUINE CONFLICT AND A REAL CRISIS
I am really begging media and Dems and political commentators: Recognize that key quality of the modern GOP is radicalism and extremism. This is arguably the most radical government in US history. Stop letting them claim the mantle of conservativism. There’s nothing conservative about this.
This is basically what I mean by "noseblind to Hitler particles." If center left people and fascists get used to each other, that's a big victory for the fascists and nothing gained by the center left.
Countries with taxation authority over gigantic, well-developed, diversified economies should not ever bother with a wealth fund. There is no benefit whatsoever. It's impossible to think of a country that a SWF is more useless for than the United States.
None of the fascists became more liberal but a lot of liberals have suddenly gone really soft on the ideas like immigrants being good, black people being productive and equal members of society, or white nationalism being a really big deal.
“He tempts you with the promise that every cruel, fearful, punitive impulse you have aligns with The Way Things Are Supposed To Be, and that it is even your grim duty is to indulge them. In this respect, James Dobson was very much like Satan.” defector.com/james-dobson...
Oh! I had no idea they broke rotary function at some point in the last 20 years. That's a bummer. I would love to own an antique handset and have a landline; talking on cell phones sucks so bad.
You're a NYC apartment dweller, right? You must be good at exercising curatorial choices.
