State rep republican wayne johnson just came up to me outside my house and I got to tell him why I think he and his party suck for several minutes. He said “i’m not a fan of donald trump either.” Lol

And you definitely don't want to use a high-powered 532nm green laser, because it can permanently burn and disable digital camera CMOS or CCD sensors. Green light is absorbed at a very high efficiency by these electronic sensors, meaning concentrated beams easily melt or overload the pixel array.

But revenge is also objectively good in this kind of situation. The other word for "revenge" is "deterrence." We need to make sure anyone else who is tempted to try to overthrow multiracial democracy knows that they're on a clock

Speaking as just one guy who sues the government a lot: This basically does not happen. It is a transparent effort to shut down further inquiry by conceding relief. What they are seeking to cover up must be unspeakably bad.

If you can’t tax billionaires & trillionaire because “its unrealized gains until they cash out,” then stop letting them leverage that wealth for loans, as collateral, or as equity. If it’s not real enough to tax—it shouldn’t be real enough to leverage. Abolish billionaires—Protect working people.

A digital illustration taken from the final scenes of The Truman Show (1998). A huge wall painted to look like cloudy skies over the sea. and extending out from it is a set of stairs, also painted to look like the sky. The bottom of the wall and stairs are met with calmly rippling green seawater. At the top of the stairs is a dark, open doorway into the wall and a reversed out silhouette of a figure standing in said doorway. To the left of the stairs is a blue gray rectangle containing knocked out lettering with several of the letters inverted or reversed that reads 'Maybe it will happen today'

Under the thesis that "when you're explaining, you're losing," I guess this bogus argument from this trivial-taxpayer is encouraging. How about we tax him at the same effective rate as that teacher in Queens? At the very least, that would inject a dose of fairness into the situation.

Important to recognize she's not an idiot, she knows the data centers being built are AI-specific and that the extreme power and cooling demands arise specifically from GPUs, not data storage or transmission. She's repeating lies that lobbyists told her to say to confuse the public.

Legacy media, various levels of actual government, and the academic institutions themselves all did what they could to misrepresent the protests as antisemitism. Kids faced harsh consequences for their speech. That has a profound chilling effect. Also, student protest organizers graduate.

The constitutional remedy for a president who orders money to be spent from the Treasury without an appropriation from Congress is impeachment, removal, disqualification, and a criminal trial for violating the Anti-Deficiency Act.

Just a friendly reminder from your local tenant's rights lawyer: in Minnesota your landlord can't make you shovel the walk (or do any sort of maintenance) unless they're directly compensating you for the work. Minn. Stat. § 504B.161, subd. 2. www.revisor.mn.gov/statutes/cit...
§Subd. 2.Tenant maintenance. The landlord or licensor may agree with the tenant or licensee that the tenant or licensee is to perform specified repairs or maintenance, but only if the agreement is supported by adequate consideration and set forth in a conspicuous writing. No such agreement, however, may waive the provisions of subdivision 1 or relieve the landlord or licensor of the duty to maintain common areas of the premises.

Narratively having Ever Given getting stuck in 2021 to set up Hormuz in 2026 is great foreshadowing. You want your audience to understand the basics of international shipping in a lower stakes context so you drop the real plot without a lot of saggy exposition about the minutiae of cargo logistics.
