That moment when you realize you're re-inventing the deck-builder genre but didn't know because you've never really played deck-builders.

Great, now I've got homework! And research!

My wife says I like The Pitt because "where else do you see competent people in positions of authority trying to help?"

This opinion is simply wrong and lacks appreciation of what UBI truly is, how people respond to it, and why we don't already have it. Simply put, UBI is the power to say NO and freedom to say YES. It's a foundation. It's individual strike power. It's general strike power. It's grassroots financing.

It is so damning of US news media that so many outlets refuse to just straight up say that Senator Tim Sheehy assaulted an activist.

He did not "help" Capitol police. They did not need his help. He wanted to assault the guy and did. He should resign.

People are stepping forward and I appreciate every one of you doing this. I'm quite a bit away from the final number but much closer than I was feeling 3 hours ago.

Remember when Sen. Sheehy accidentally shot himself in a national park and pretended he got the wound in a firefight in Afghanistan?

That's simply incorrect. *Mean* is average value, *median* is the middle value, *mode* is the most common value. You're confusing median and mean.

And it's simply not true that the "vast majority of people" are making less than $20k, not by any definition of "vast" or "majority" or "people".

I don’t want to share the video because it’s pretty graphic, but apparently we’re at the ‘Republican Senator breaks the arm of a Marine IN FULL DRESS because that marine was protesting the Republicans starting a war of choice with Iran’ stage of things.

Wait, I don't think either of those statements are correct, are they!? If I'm a single parent making $80k with kids you don't think I need *any* help whatsoever? And the *majority* make $20k or less? What do you define as "majority"? Median income is $60k.

I know they don't care, but the GOP have to realize this shit is REALLY not helping them and is radicalizing folks who just a year ago didn't care about any of this.

WILD shit. Just insane dumb fucks who think they have complete control and will never lose power.

One owned a lumber yard. The other was an entrepreneur in his small town: brought cable TV (used mules to haul cables/poles up mountains to do it), owned an ice "plant" (a big warehouse where they filled bags of ice like you get at the gas station); he was also an incredible amateur photographer.

Headline card with text at the top that reads: "The US is moving pregnant immigrant girls to Texas to avoid providing abortions, critics say". A photo below shows people protesting Donald Trump's immigration policies and holding signs.

All unaccompanied immigrant children who are pregnant, many by rape, are being moved to a single facility in Texas in order to avoid providing abortion services in a significant human rights violation, critics say.

STOP. LISTEN. Seriously.

Maybe we’ve been going about this all wrong. Maybe this has to be dismantled from the bottom up. This rank corruption.

There needs to be a serious IMPEACH NOEM demand. These hearings have made any other choice complicity.

Motherfucker has a Master’s in Public Affairs from Princeton talking about doctors’ “fancy letters and affiliations” like he’s some hayseed hibly from down home parts. He’s the dumbest man alive, not because he’s *actually* stupid, he just needs to pretend to be, b/c he’s dug himself in so deeply.

a tweet from the Nazi/Child Porn Website made by perennial douche bag hack Jesse Singal reads: "The level of misinformation spread by me about youth gender medicine, because I have a professional stake in it, is really pathetic."

Pros and Cons of Final-Five Voting Better understand the advantages of Final-Five Voting (Open Primaries with Ranked Choice Voting general elections) as well as critiques of the approach. Also known as Top-Five or Top-Four Voting.

No state should do runoff elections. They are a complete waste of money and undemocratic due to the massive drop-off in voters in runoff elections. If Texas had Final 5 voting, Talarico, Crockett, Cornyn, Paxton, and Hunt would progress to a ranked choice election in Nov. No runoffs needed. Ever.

I've got an iPhone 11. I'm thinking upgrading to the iPhone 17e will be a pretty awesome fit. Obviously everything will be better, and I like that it's got no camera plateau. Wondering if 16e would be better bang for the buck, though?

@kirkhamilton.com I just finished listening to the latest Strong Songs about "Under Pressure". The deconstruction was as fascinating and flawless as always. But more so, your framing of the song in our current time, particularly toward the end of the episode, nearly brought me to tears. Thank you ❤️

He is saying what Mike Johnson believes but won’t say. The Republican majority is more important to them than disavowing a sexual predator boss causing the suicide of staffer.

Democracy is dying in America.

ICE is a murderous secret police force. We’re about to bomb Iran for Israel. Your kids are shot at in school daily, and pedophiles run our government. There’s no healthcare, and your food is poisonous.

We need real leaders - not career politicians.

A vast majority of genocide scholars around the world agree what Israel is doing is genocide, including many prominent Jewish and Jewish-Israeli scholars.

Exclusive | Spy Agency Blocks Congress From Seeing Gabbard Whistleblower Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard’s office rejected Democratic efforts to see all the underlying material about a foreign conversation that discussed Jared Kushner.

In a highly unusual move, national intelligence has blocked Congress from seeing a whistleblower complaint allegedly involving Jared Kushner. This violates the National Security Act of 1947.
