yeah I mean it'll suck, but idk, I feel like sea level rise feels a little bit less threatening than wildfires... it's a bit slower-moving and leaves a bit more time to escape...

To be clear, this bill is nonsense, and he is straight-up calling for the murder of every Democrat in Congress. It is already illegal, as a matter of federal law, for non-citizens to vote in federal elections. This doesn't change that. What it does is a national ID mandate for voter registration.

I mean, for those above a certain level, yes. Those of us lower down on the food chain don't necessarily get airwaves access.

I do captioning for a living, & a big part of my job is cleaning up false starts & filler words. That has always been the norm at every media outlet. Print media edits Trump so carefully that you would never know what he actually sounds like. Doing this to Biden is a 180 from decades of policy.

Taylor vocally came out against Marsha Blackburn during that evil lady’s last senate race and Blackburn still won. I think we need to give up the (understandable) fantasy that pop stars can swoop in and save the day. This is very much just my opinion, I know. But I’m right.

Biden being old is baked in and always has been. The party had plenty of opportunities to dump him 14 months ago. Doing this now, in response to a media narrative, makes them look like venal, craven fools

GOP lawmakers, especially conservative Christians, in states across the country are pushing bills designed to enhance faith's influence in public schools (10 Commandments, chaplains, etc.).

But they keep getting pushback from the same group: other religious people. religionnews.com/2024/07/05/b...

New England is actually supposed to be pretty safe from climate change, or at least burning due to it (since we've got plenty of bodies of water near our forests); our climate losses will mostly just be: - maple syrup - ski industry - pond hockey - fall foliage - seacoast communities

they're not just withholding donations to Biden (which I disagree with, but can at least understand), they're withholding donations to ALL Democrats, despite the fact that most of the rest of the party had nothing to do with this

OK so I voted for Marianne Williamson, but that was mostly just because Biden wasn't on the ballot here in NH; it's too late for her to get the nom now:

annoying thing about the cube root rule is that it produces a range of results based on which apportionment rule you use; I've seen it produce values from 690 to 695...

that's something that I think is worth changing, btw; if we're going to keep the whole multi-member district system, we really ought to make them use proportional representation...

It is notable that the objectively radical actions of the Supreme Court with the decades long implications therein are less interesting to reporters than Biden’s bedtime.
