Has there ever been an interruption of the peaceful transfer of power between U.S. Presidents?
I'll look up official records on presidential transitions and whether any transfer of power was interrupted.

Yes, in one documented sense: the joint session of Congress that counts electoral votes was interrupted on January 6, 2021, then resumed the same day.

The Hatch Act needs to be amended to be allow for regular citizens to bring suit for violations. Everyone involved in making this should lose their jobs.

I only recently learned that newspaper reporters get stats on how many people subscribed because of a particular story. That doesn’t seem healthy for journalism or a young reporter’s development. This isn’t a popularity contest.

Aaron @kleinman.bsky.social hits on something that I think was overlooked after 2024 - the idea that Dems raised metric fucktons of money and got fuckall to show for it, and there is a face to the plague of shitty consultants stuck on the Dem establishment like remoras

Carville hasn’t done much work in America this millennium, but he still has a sterling reputation among boomer Democrats who are grateful that he helped end the party’s losing streak in 1992. Which is probably why he’s participating in a system that could prevent Democrats from winning in November.

look, you can't just punish trump when dems are in power. that might make republicans do something crazy, like stage a coup, illegally shred the federal bureaucracy, or even vstart abducting people off the street and extraditing them to torture sites all over the world

As a parent, youth sports is one of the most soul-killing enterprises you can engage in, especially if you're only into it for your kids to run around a bit while enjoying some camaraderie. All these sports are over-organized, and they become tiny fiefdoms for tyrannical parents and coaches.

This is a great thread and a better story but man, it really shows how the growing disillusionment with the medical establishment is opening the doors for scams and quackery. The biggest argument for Medicare for All is that everyone will get treated and not seek this shit out

I want you to think about the kids in your life. Maybe those kids are 8. Maybe they are 32. Do they know enough about snails? Hard to imagine anyone truly knowing *enough* about snails. Help those kids learn snailhood. Get them a Snail Facts advent calendar. SquidFacts.net.
An 11x14 inch poster featuring snails, slugs, nudibranchs, and other snails! There are 24 yellow-green snail shells that you can scratch off. There's a leaf sheep and sea bunny and sea angel and fire snail and banana slug and mystery snail and ramshorn snail and candy cane snail

Fantasy sports are a socially acceptable way for men to have interpersonal connections and as long as no one is taking it too seriously it’s fine. Like anything it’s when there’s gambling involved or people take it too seriously (like punishments for the last place team) that it becomes a problem

A wild stat from this news story I edited: The maximum amount of plastic recorded in a chick was 67.4 grams, made up of 644 individual plastic fragments. That’s the equivalent of an average American human man walking around with 9.86 kilograms *** or 21.7 pounds*** of plastic in his stomach (!)

Not only did I meet Robert Kraft, I worked for him. His kid Jonathan asked me to “remove the black music” from my gameday playlist in ‘94 & I refused so they fired me. I was the cheerleader director at the time.  I sued them for wrongful termination and won. So yes, I know that motherfucker.
