If you're worried about brevity in your writing, don't. It took Project 2025 nine hundred pages to say fourteen words.

I'm not watching the Stephanopoulos interview closely, but someone here has it on and he keeps asking what Biden thinks of articles that have been published in the last week. If I wanted to watch the press jack off, I know how to find porn online, thank you

None of those seem outright fatal, just serious negative weights, or "soft" locks. I'm sure I'm missing the actual "hard" locks.

Hey, I'm not calling for Biden to go, but *I* have no idea how it's a specifically bad idea other than: 1) It's "traditionally" bad, in that candidate nominated at open conventions have historically fared abysmally. 2) Pledged delegates need sorted? 3) Campaign infrastructure/cash on hand.

Yeah, having two youngish kids in that situation would probably have me clinging to my time with them with every nail in your body. Not every parent would do that, but Obama's far from the only leader to have meaningfully promised his family they wouldn't suffer excessively from his ambition.

Distribution bias could be a factor too. If they're not passing as well as they might like you're more likely to mentally note a transwoman as such, rather than a plain old ordinary woman, and a significant contributor to that can be "Hey, she's tall."

Bernie would probably have to live to be 200 in order to have enough time to phone all his donors and wish them happy birthday at least once.

THE sentence of the day: A Macronist incumbent in the Marseille region came in 3rd in her seat. She just dropped out to support the left. She said, about why she's maneuvering to block the far-right: "Defeats happen, but you can never recover from dishonor."

All of which is to say yes, national holiday please. 😁 And I'll spend a moment in fond remembrance of the horrified looks on two white supremacist teachers' faces as they watched an overly dramatic fat nerd ruin their solemn occasion while collapsing over a splintered flagpole.

This in a bad fake southern accent, natch. I also jammed the flagpole in a rock pile, very dramatic except I broke the flagpole. My weird Confederate-in-a-Union-state teacher was not amused. 😁 She sent me to sit on the bus, which, no, so I wandered the battlefield unaccompanied.

When I was in middle school in Maryland, they took us to Gettysburg and made us reenact Pickett's Charge. We had little colored badges they would call out to tell us when to die. I got to carry a regimental flag. When I died, I cried out, "I die young, but I die for slavery! racism! and hate!"

Enough of them believed in rotating revolutions (and I don't mean the Heritage "revolution" nonsense) that they would probably be somewhat perturbed that there hadn't been more of them.

Also this is even more mind-boggling given that native Aussie-made music was almost completely non-existent until the 70's (almost all media and music in Oz was overwhelmingly Brit imports until the early-mid 70's).

I am normally a strong proponent of insurance of all sorts, but rates for pet insurance are still atrocious up here. Bad enough that savings is still generally cheaper, unfortunately. Eventually maybe they'll come down, possibly the market needs to cross some overall size threshold.
