What are the chances that a huge portion of that 40% falls into the "I don't mind it, as long as it doesn't inconvenience *me*" crowd?
Scott (@scottroiter.bsky.social) reply parent
Perhaps. But it's breaking news. They can't just wait for someone to take a photo of the school, especially because people may not be able to access the school due to emergency personnel. Alt text would definitely be helpful though, especially for blind people who cannot see the image.
Scott (@scottroiter.bsky.social) reply parent
Because the photo of the school was taken when there was snow on the ground? I don't understand this question.

This is funny, considering how many stories we've heard of people skirting around the rules and "communicating" with each other when they're supposed to be totally silent. But it makes me so curious about the rules they violated.

Crohnee here. If you think you might have it, 100% recommend talking to a doctor or going in for a colonoscopy. Stay safe

How do you expect people to try and prevent entry of the national guard into DC? Citizens could block every highway, subway, and harbor, and the national guard will still find a way in. DC is a big city, and there simply aren't enough people to block off every entry point.

Not gonna keep arguing with you. But you don't really have a right to get offended at people calling out ableist jokes. So at least take a second to understand why people are bothered by them, or stop being so offended by people calling them out.
Scott (@scottroiter.bsky.social) reply parent
I wasn't interested in scolding anyone until you decided to be snarky. I'm just explaining why people take issue with the joke. It's perfectly reasonable to be upset about wheelchair jokes made at anyone's expense. Communication is a two way street, after all. Don't be condescending.
Scott (@scottroiter.bsky.social) reply parent
The implication here is that it's okay to make fun of someone's disability if it's a bad guy. But at the end of the day, you're still making fun of someone's disability. You can attack Abbott without attacking all wheelchair users in the process.

to be fair, this is a pretty healthy display of masculinity that should be seen as a positive example. I respect him for being willing to show his emotions in such a vulnerable position

As much as I agree, I wish she would've provided some examples to really make a more concrete point.

Also - to be fair, how does he know Amy isn't good at competitions? Seems like a hasty judgment to me 🤔
Scott (@scottroiter.bsky.social) reply parent
What's the point, then? You shouldn't specifically care about supporting marginalized groups because your group is gonna come up eventually. You should care because it's the right thing to do.

Because lawyers like Aaron actually realize how bad it can get without them. We (at least those of us who are *not* lawyers) are not the experts here. Why do people assume we know better than people who do this for a living?

"White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told CNN in a statement: “This alleged assessment is flat-out wrong and was classified as ‘top secret’ but was still leaked to CNN by an anonymous, low-level loser in the intelligence community." Thank god we have professionals in DC!! 🙄

Take the brown line up to Albany Park and check out all the restaurants off Kedzie and Lawrence. It's a half hour ride, but you won't be disappointed.

What's next? Is he gonna write them a stern letter? Ask Trump to explain himself?

Have they provided a shred of evidence indicating they had been prioritizing criminals prior to this? Just saying it's their "priority" means nothing.

It just sucks because the editing of this season was so misleading. I absolutely believe Kamilla had a strong chance to win, but I would find it really shocking if David, for example, voted for her. Their relationship was tumultuous at best.

Not specifically referring to the tariffs, referring to the "every bad thing that happens to them" rhetoric. I would classify being murdered in that category.

The "keeping their mouths shut" aspect is the most interesting. If they're scorned from being fired and aren't sufficiently loyal, who knows what they'll spill.

Implication here is that everyone in a specific demographic deserves to be punished, even the members of that group who did not ask for it. 18-21 white males are not a monolith, many are oppressed in other ways (sexual orientation, disability status, etc) and did not want this.

Do you think it's realistic that the majority (or even vast majority) of Senate Dems support impeachment but just aren't voicing it for one reason or another?

This is the completely wrong takeaway from everything that has occurred throughout the whole administration. With pressure, things change. Not as much change as we want, but more than nothing.

It's also worth noting that just because the trait is called right-wing authoritarianism doesn't mean all people high in that trait are right-wing in our political framework. Frequently, yes, but not necessarily.
Scott (@scottroiter.bsky.social) reply parent
I actually did my master's thesis on right-wing authoritarianism as a personality trait, and it's worth noting that personality traits exist on a spectrum. Not usually one or the other. Bob Altemeyer (RIP) from University of Manitoba was a great researcher in this domain.

I see. Does this mean the "next steps" are to refer the person to a different judge, who would then make the decision to convict them? Does the second judge give them an opportunity to comply before the conviction?

Scott (@scottroiter.bsky.social) reply parent
Possibly stupid question about this takeaway (and I guess all judgments of this sort): does that mean - since there was no due process - they must rectify their error because they violated their interpretation of the law? Or is it just "moving forward, we expect due process"?

Was gonna say this. I have never seen anyone actually - for lack of a better word - *stan* Vance the way they stan Trump. People like Trump because he got them fired up. Vance cannot do that.

Scott (@scottroiter.bsky.social) reply parent
Listen, I have liked Rep Schakowsky. But she is going to be in her 80s. She is more likely to *die* than a republican winning this seat. I'm not gonna argue with you, but if you can't see how the numbers are working here, I don't know what to tell you.
Scott (@scottroiter.bsky.social) reply parent
This is my district. The bigger risk is keeping that seat under its current position. We haven't had a republican here since the 1940s. It's more likely that the current representative will die and the seat will be vacated than a republican winning here.
