I'm glad it's coming out that the real reason Shannon O'brien resigned was not some "noble" stand to support Seth Bodnar, but rather b/c she'd siphoned $30k of Democrat funds to pay a friend a big severance package (& then lied about it). Good riddance! The Dems should root out every leech & crook.

Also, the influx of people to Montana 2020-2021 had some wild impacts on our housing market as well. ~26,000 new Montanans in 2021, but only 5,750 new housing units. Our lack of new housing—particularly units at & below market rate—is a huge problem.

I'm in state long-term planning meetings this week, and we just saw this fascinating (& terrible) graphic on how unaffordable housing has become here in Montana. Median Price to Income Ratio Montana = 9.3 Nationally = 5.8 Ratio of 5.0 or greater is where housing is deemed "unaffordable."

Montana Dem Sam Forstag just refused to throw trans people under the bus in the MT-01 debate: “Keep politics the heck out of it.” He said government has no business in sports or telling parents what to do. It’s the most competitive House race in the country. Subscribe to support our journalism.

“Keep Politics The Heck Out Of It”: In Toss-Up MT-01 Race, Dem Sam Forstag Refuses To Throw Trans People Under The Bus

The Democratic candidate accused his republican opponent Aaron Flint supporting people who would “pick our pocket” by distracting voters with anti-transgender attacks.

Let's go, Sam Forstag! That's how you stand up for trans people on the national stage. If congressional candidates in western Montana—one of the most competitive House races in the entire country—can stand up for trans folks in every aspect of our lives, democrats everywhere should take note.

Just a reminder that when Dems turn against trans people for power, it's also a reminder that they'll do other things for power that you might not like too, such as supporting billionaires.

Sailing was my last 90, but it's also probably my favorite skill besides Slayer. The devs really knocked it out of the park, imo. So many varied ways to train it, and the boat racing time trials are probably top 5 content for me in the game. Agility was the worst 90, lol

The tokens remain once activated, and can be activated multiple times to rotate a room 90°, 180°, 270°, or 360°. The multiple rotations allowed them to get some more unique orientations, and also let them undo an action if they realized they made a mistake.

RULES - Players start at the 🔴 in Room 1 - Goal is to get to the 🟢 in Room 4. - The numbered tokens can be activated to rotate the listed room by 90° - If two tokens are in the same chamber (2/3 in Room 3; 1/4 in Room 2), both Rooms are rotated - Black/yellow tape means "no entry" from that side

I built this rotating room puzzle for my family D&D game (my wife & our 11 y/o, plus another family w/ an 11 y/o) I was nervous to run this puzzle for a young/newer group, but it went SO WELL! Took 15 minutes to solve, and they all SCREAMED in joy when they finished it. Rules for the puzzle below:

One of the amazing parts of this road trip is that I've been able to practice my stargazing. I can now confidentally identify Ursa Major, Draco, Ursa Minor, Cygnus, Lyra, and Aquilla, as well as the major stars of those constellations. I'm loving how much it's enhanced my enjoyment of the stars.

Erin and I (along with our 10 year old) just did a 20+ mile hike through the redwood forest and oh my goodness that might be my favorite forest hike of all time. Also, 20+ miles is no joke, especially when you're the group pack mule 😅

The Democratic Party’s mega-donor class is horrified by the rising tide of progressive populism. Too bad. It's time they recognize the real choice is between democracy and tyranny, between an economy that works for all or one that works for a small sliver at the top.

Well deserved loss for the USA in the round of 16. We barely looked like we belonged on the same pitch as Belgium. Looking forward to going back to rooting on the Sounders and hoping that the USMNT eventually can go toe-to-toe with the top teams.

Here's one quote from the MT4Palestine questionnaire, on "how to end Israel'soccupation" As for funding, he's not taking any corporate PAC money. So if a tech bro is donating, it's capped at the same rate as any citizen. So he's no more "funded by the Murdochs" than he is "funded by the Zephyrs"

I mean he did call out the genocide in Gaza. Both in his MT4Palestine questionnaire, as well as to me when I met with him about endorsements. And like most progressives, his data center stance is a moratorium on until the day we can keep them from siphoning all our energy and polluting our land.
