daplander.bsky.social @daplander.bsky.social · 02/10/2026meaning, I'm not sure that the voters are actually that disappointed in her voting record. They keep electing reps from each party who regularly cross party lines 000
daplander.bsky.social @daplander.bsky.social · 02/10/2026possibly. But she didn't vote with him before and she voted with Democrats 2/3 of the time, which is pretty average for reps from either party in that district (Herrera Butler/Baird/Smith were all burrs under their party's saddle). It is really the swingiest of all districts 100
daplander.bsky.social @daplander.bsky.social · 02/10/2026she is the worst, and it is a shame she was beaten in the primary, but she is still miles better than John Braun. One of them will vote for Mike Johnson as speaker, the other won't 100
daplander.bsky.social @daplander.bsky.social · 01/10/2026I just watched "Utopia" on the PBS app. Australian spoof on a fictional government infrastructure building authority. Same group of comics, led by Rob Sitch, who made The Castle and a bunch of fun series 000
daplander.bsky.social @daplander.bsky.social · 21/09/2026thanks! I sent her a review on the webpage 000
daplander.bsky.social @daplander.bsky.social · 21/09/2026my best guesses are that either she's a MAHA kook or that she and her former husband, who ran a biopharmaceutical company, still have some skin in something in front of the FDA 000
daplander.bsky.social @daplander.bsky.social · 20/09/2026Richmond has always been one of the areas that seemed so so safe and insular that I felt like someone might ask me for ID just for walking through there 011
daplander.bsky.social @daplander.bsky.social · 20/09/2026But they shouldn’t complain. Entertaining game 000
daplander.bsky.social @daplander.bsky.social · 20/09/2026inspiring performance by the reserves with Ted cruz unavailable. R's have a deep bench of monkey paws 011
daplander.bsky.social @daplander.bsky.social · 14/09/2026as an adult, pre-heart attack, I'd regularly eat a box of Corn Pops or Captain Crunch with half and half, trying to redeem my bran-flaked youth. I'm not sure if I would have shared either 010
daplander.bsky.social @daplander.bsky.social · 14/09/2026because he believes in human rights? I don't know. People say a lot of things in campaigns 160
daplander.bsky.social @daplander.bsky.social · 14/09/2026I imagine on this issue Talarico will turn out better than anyone fears. From everything I've read, he has good voting record on trans issues. I'd imagine he reverts to that 2110

daplander.bsky.social @daplander.bsky.social · 27/08/2026I remember! But it is remarkable how groups that are not explicitly christian have been completely frozen out in the last two years 110
daplander.bsky.social @daplander.bsky.social · 27/08/2026I'd also say that what aid is still going out is almost entirely being routed through World Vision and their ilk, like Compassion International and Samaritan's Purse. USAID was not forced to work with these evangelists 100
daplander.bsky.social @daplander.bsky.social · 24/08/2026I think about this movie every time I hear auld lang syne. Great scene 010
daplander.bsky.social @daplander.bsky.social · 24/08/2026the physical comedy is outrageously good., like the two times he uses the nail spray as a prop. And the bar scene with Zasu Pitts. 130

daplander.bsky.social @daplander.bsky.social · 21/08/2026I'd spent a lot of time in Hawaii as a young person and in my early fifties visited the Big island for the first time and Hilo was kind of the Hawaiian town I'd wanted all the others to be. felt like Hawaii not Scottsdale on an island 020
