So the bill meant to “increase transparency” has an amendment added to specifically allow money to be less transparent.
Yep. Lavender makes me feel physically sick.
He’ll be convicted of at least some of the counts, but will immediately begin appealing the decision and won’t face any consequences before the election.
Maybe the fact that he’s now a “convicted felon” will sway some people, but my guess is that most will simply move their own internal goalposts “since it’s still being decided on appeal”
The idea of being able to access the trackball from the front or back really is intriguing.
One day, the guy on a buffalo was runnin around through the forest…
Corporate needs you to find the difference between this woman and TurboTax.
No, charging other people so that you can take advantage of a loophole is called Tax Preparation
At this point we’ve reached a complete and utter death of euphemism around anything regarding Trump.
All attempts to “bring to light” any horrible thing Trump has factually committed will be met by his followers with, “Well that’s actually a good thing.” And any politician trying to ride his wake will have to go along with it.
How soon until we start hearing “Look, we have to view Hitler with some nuance” from the Senate podium.
Yep, and because we know Democrats won’t have the stomach for, the next time there’s a Republican VP on Jan 6th, they will use this ruling to announce that the Democratic winner is an insurrectionist and therefore disqualified and the same people sitting on the bench will rule that he’s right.
Return of the Obra Dinn is short but a great puzzle game for keeping track of things.
There’s podcasts like Sleep With Me that occupy the same place as white noise.
Yep. Provel is to Mozzarella what American is to Cheddar, and we’re going to shred that on top of a saltine and bake it for you? No thanks.
True, it’s obvious to anyone paying attention that this was always the point, but it is notable whenever we witness yet another death of a euphemism
Who is this message even for? Not the workers obviously. Does it instill the investors with confidence? “Production is so poorly managed and staffed that we have to rely on people working overtime.” Does it increase demand? “Come buy these vehicles assembled by overworked, sleep-deprived line workers, hope it works out if you get in an wreck!” It’s entirely for his own ego.
I had it during the beta. Not bad, though it’s pretty heavy handed with the Jetbrains sales pitches after almost every answer.
Their integration with the Git interface was nice though, having auto-generated commit messages based on its evaluation of the changeset is so convenient.
Station 11 on Max is a thoughtful, heartfelt, and artistic post apocalypse show. Very different from the standard fair.
It’s really too bad Kroger discontinued “The Fizzicist”.
Just before the vote was about to begin, Rep. Max Miller of Ohio, one of Santos’ Republican colleagues, sent an email to the full Republican conference, writing that he and his mother were victims of credit card fraud tied to Santos’ campaign and that he would be voting to remove Santos.
“Neither my Mother nor I approved these charges or were aware of them,” Miller wrote in the email obtained by NPR. “We have spent tens of thousands of dollars in legal fees in the resulting follow up.”
It’s literally because it was starting to affect them personally.

I’m surprised Dems decided to join in ousting him instead of voting present and letting him stay. But I guess watching GOP flail in another month-long speaker election can only help contrast them.
Exactly this.
“Sorry Mr. President, the policies you enacted during the triple hurricane saved thousands of lives, but the drug test you took beforehand were positive for mood stabilizers so we’ve invalidated your policies and everyone who was saved by them has been taken out back and shot.”
This isn’t the fucking Olympics. But then debates are a terrible way to judge a president to begin with.
