Grew up out in Podunk-Nowhere, MN, kinda close to Gopher Prairie. Learned to work together with people out there, to better our Community, and now I live in Minneapolis. A place "Just like my hometown, only Bigger!"

The Peter Thiel connections to Epstein, Ehud Barak, Palantir and...of course....JD Vance should get more scrutiny. Thiel created Vance and essentially hand delivered him to the White House. Thiel is a white nationalist billionaire, part of the "Pay Pal" mafia. Buddy David Sacks is Trump's AI Czar

Put aside the Constitutional argument. The organizing by people in Minnesota would not have been crushed. People that were never involved in political movements were and still are actively involved.

Apparently office space became even less comfortable after RTO. Somehow the same companies that didn't have the money to break a lease on a building, magically had the money to gut and redesign it. Open plans, hotdesking. I assume the C-suite all kept their corner offices though

Ooh been saying it for a long time - the workspace I have at home now would've been an unattainable pipe dream for me if we were in-office - I've witnessed moves to a corner cube/window/office with a door be used in place of raises and promotions. Yes we underpay you, but look, we gave you a window

The NBA-Clippers story is a story about two things working better than recent years have led us to expect: the ability of journalism to hold power and money to account and the willingness of an institution to do the same. It also serves as a reminder that those two things should be linked.

I think people catching measles then dying is bad, and that the govt should see zero measles deaths as the goal—like America had until recently—rather than see measles as a positive, culling the population of people with other health conditions. Sorry to get so partisan, but that’s how I feel.

I think it's worth noting that nothing is being done now. Johnson has kept congress home for most of the year over the Epstien files. The two year average is 284 stand alone bills passed. This congress has passed 38....they hold all 3 branches. These are not serious people.

Some congressional Democrats (or their staffers, I guess) follow me on here, so let me speak directly to them: The media isn't going to do this on their own. But if you make it an issue, they might just be shamed into forcing your GOP opponents into discussing the fat racist elephant in the room.
