When you score a working charging port on your transatlantic flight
Tomorrow's MP is today's local councillor. If you don't help them build a power base, you're leaving selection (and hence policy decisions) entirely to the party. Which is part of why modern Westminster is so broken.
Maybe I am being misogynistic, but I bet she'd be quick to complain when unattractive men insisted on talking to her on a plane.
What about tactical misdirection? E.g. you present A, B, and C, but on the choice you want (B) you leave some details "blank". The meeting descends into working on those details, hence sanctioning your pick on the important choice - while also leaving leadership with a sense of ownership.

"Panem et circenses", Roman emperors knew that 2,000 years ago already. Trump messing with both is a gamble he will come to regret.

Trump's list of countries that will be required to pay tariffs as of midnight tonight includes the Heard and McDonalds Islands, which, according to his list, will pay 10%. Heard and McDonald Island is not a country. It's a territory of Australia and no human being lives there . . . only penguins!

Don't bother - that line of argument is a disingenuous right-wing talking point, meant to legitimise anti-democratic behaviour. It's been around for 25+ years, as stupid today as it was back then. Sad that people living in one of the oldest democracies can be turned against their own culture.
It's actually slightly annoying that basically everyone agrees with everyone. Where is the drama? The excitement? Conflict is what makes socials go round.
His 1st term was not as bad as this one, he was trying to look legit. Her community clearly skews Republican, she voted for Biden: she is a swing voter who doesn't live and breathe politics - the kind that progressives should persuade, not hate. Vilifying her doesn't help anything.
This thread sadly shows that Bluesky is going exactly the same way as Twitter, in terms of enabling the worst of the worst. People calling her names of all sorts, when she's just a victim of skilled conmen. Progressives should be compassionate, not hateful.
#MusicHistory On this day 1980, Blondie released their mega-hit "Atomic" from the 4th album Eat To The Beat. Song was produced as a mixture of new wave, rock & disco. The video is know for the appearance of model Gia Carangi, considered the world's 1st supermodel. www.youtube.com/watch?v=O_WL...
They learned something from their first term. The only thing that stops a bad guy with a grift is a good guy with principles. So this time they're firing all the good guys with principles.
as a society I feel we have focused way too much on Dolly Parton singing 'Jolene' and not nearly enough on '9 to 5' (socfemme anthem) and 'why'd u come in here looking like that' (horny anthem)
Mayor Carcetti is one of those Wire characters that is just so good because he's so credible: he runs for office for the right reasons, but once in power, his priorities shift to survival and he becomes just another villain.
Ever looked at those skyscrapers? Quite a few of them have fascist motifs all over.
Life was getting faster thanks to electricity, railways, cars and telephones, but political and social norms were seen as slow and reactionary, and impossible to reform via consensus. It was natural for artistic avant-guards to call for a new acceleration, which in the past was brought by war. /end
The young kingdom struggled with many familiar issues (corruption, mismanagement, unequal economic development, stodgy politics), and many veterans were unhappy that they'd fought for a Republic but ended up with just another king. This in a context of tensions between all European countries. /2
Don't want to be an apologist, but futurism must be seen in context. The kingdom of Italy, at the time, was barely 50yo, a dream realized with dozens of wars over the previous century. Napoleon was still a well-remembered, positive figure in Italy, where his looting armies brought civil progress. /1

A lot of activists and rank&file were against it, but the leadership was only formally opposed - in practice, then-leader Corbyn married the "lexit" argument that outside EU they'd be more free to nationalize companies. So there was no filibuster, so to speak.
We are watching Project 2025 come to life. Thankfully, pro-democracy groups are fighting back in the courts and winning. @democracydocket.com's 17-person team tracks these lawsuits so you don't have to. Support their work. www.democracydocket.com/member-me/
We are in the process of bringing a Big Thing to the public, and hiding it behind a feature flag to slowly percolate knowledge to partners (while figuring out best practices to recommend) was a godsend.
I don't disagree, I'm just saying the Trump gang, as usual, is recklessly squandering other people's money.
This is awesome. From a custom knife forging shop in Edom, Texas.
YOU CAN PLAY SWITCH OOON THE GOOO
"n-i-n-te-n-do" to the tune of hot to go mr bowser please dm me for address to send my royalty check, thank you.
Sadly that lawsuit will be inevitably settled with US taxpayer's money.
Federal government employees have unions and strong contracts. By the way, at Twitter even the people who left voluntarily didn't get paid, they had to sue. Your husband should join a union and sit tight.
This is the answer. It was on the news just yesterday that he's not paying the British lawyers he got to work on some quixotic lawsuit (which he inevitably lost). Trump will stiff anyone and everyone.
Deeply saddened to hear about the death of Michael Foord. Reflecting on my own memories of him and reading those of others on discuss.python.org/t/in-memoria... and elsewhere, I'm reminded to say more of these sorts of things to people while they are still alive. My heart goes out to his family.
The original Fox superstar has always been Bill O'Reilly, who had the highest ratings *since 2001* until his fall from grace in '17. Fox was already massive well before Obama.
No. Fox was an integral part of the Bush II administration. I was in and out of the US at the time, and remember very vividly the feeling of entering a propaganda bubble - Fox was in airports, bars, *everywhere* at the time.
You must be young. CNN's making was the first Gulf War in 1990. They expanded massively throughout that decade. 2001 was actually the beginning of their bad times, because Fox News rode the following wave of jingoism all the way to the bank.
Any social app could build 1 in an afternoon, and Visa/Amex/MasterCard could probably build 2 in a few months. So probably there aren't millions to make, but a few hundred thousands before you get killed by the big boys.
You're not thinking big enough. 1) a one-touch app to produce a QR code with name, email, and phone, or 2) phone taps on card-reading machine, you choose what to share, card network passes info to merchant. Both relatively trivial, and with much bigger upsides (faster, no typos, no fakes)
I have a feeling that image generated from material promoting this Italian crossover between the satirical Rat-Man character and the Punisher. www.rat-man.org/focus-010/ Probably some chinese sticker-seller ran with it and someone found it cool out of context.
