When a cow escapes your yard, breaks your neighbor's fence, and makes a mess in your neighbor's barn, who's liable for the damages? Our society has had answers for similar questions for generations. Many of them are written into law, even in Nevada. My latest for @thenvindy.com:

There will be a lot of equivocating about all the times search warrants have been executed on members of Congress for corruption investigations and the like, and it can't be stressed enough in how many ways HSI raiding Ilhan Omar is extremely not like that.

Well, a lot of people don't even believe that drastically increasing our housing supply would lower rents. They think no matter how much housing we build, landlords will still be able to command current prices. Can't explain it to you.

The US has tried to abolish political parties for 250 years due to the Founding Fathers overlearning from the Glorious Revolution. Every generation of reformers tries to pick up where the Founding Fathers left off without crediting them, like Cylons searching for Earth.

Congressman Amodei swinging at Flippo on this is a big deal. It'd be a bigger deal if he'd endorse Teresa Benitez-Thompson (or TBT, as we affectionately know her). #nvleg #nvpol

A Twitter screencap from journalist Dan Merica, which reads:
The retiring Republican congressman that Flippo is trying to replace, Mark Amodei, has yet to endorse Flippo and told me just now he will "absolutely not" back him. "The guy is a fraud... I'm not having my last action walking out the door to hug a guy who I think is a fraud."

The tweet goes on to quote the original Washington Post article, which is linked in the Bluesky post below this one.

I'm understating it. My ex is the chairman of the US Transhumanist Party. I was in rooms with so many of the people in that damn Sankey chart. It was always noxious, but I had no idea it was going to get this far. They all just seemed like insufferable dorks at the time.

Wendy Colborne @wendycolborne.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

Oh, god. I was in this space between 2011 and 2016. My ex is a Transhumanist and we went to a ton of Bay Area conferences at the time. This is like seeing a fifteen-year-old video of yourself crossing the street and almost getting hit by a car, never realizing how close you came.

Burrito magic discourse remains insufferable for everyone who partakes in it, but due to a curse cast from the halls of the Blue Bird's lair, all magic users are doomed to partake in it at least once in their spellcasting lives.

Fair enough. The second season is about labor rights and mental health, though, and I found it absolutely fascinating to watch.

I absolutely can't stand either version of The Office but I adored all seasons of The Rehearsal. Don't watch it like it's a comedy. Watch it like it's a suspenseful murder mystery.

It just hit me... "The Rehearsal" was a rehearsal. A rehearsal on making documentaries about awkward, unpleasant people as truthfully as possible. A rehearsal for making a documentary about Elizabeth Holmes. Nathan Fielder must be stopped. Or encouraged. Either way, at all costs.

Also, RHA tried suggesting an (I think) four-story complex just off Arlington near Mt. Rose Elementary and the community freaked out. It's the right place for a skyscraper, honestly. It's a block west of the downtown core.

Marchant has called for ending universal mail ballots, unregistering then re-registering all voters and eliminating the use of voting machines in favor of paper ballots. He also has previously floated using technology that measures people's heartbeats to verify their identities.

Nevada's cattle ranchers need a beef-related health scare like they each need a hole in their heads. Trump's surprise importation of 300,000 tons of discount mystery meat from unknown origins makes one much more likely. My latest for @thenvindy.com:
