When a generally favorable economy and a rising tide for all boats is used to hide the disastrous long-term consequences of infrastructure and social program disinvestment. That claim was already false in 1983, inequality was already on the rise for the first time in decades.

I’m still convinced these statements will age like milk.

A built-in ad blocker is easily the least problematic announcement coming out of Mozilla in the last year.

Yeah, I definitely miss the white board, and her spine. Dems need more like her, not less.

Waiting for the next Two Corinthians soundbite.

I can only dream of a hilarious podium like last year to compare the men’s and women’s. My second favorite cycling meme (after the couch, of course). https://www.tumblr.com/decidingpoint/781504982093545472/who-did-it-better-at-amstel-gold-2025

Upvoting just for Kiki and Gigi.

Be cat, do crimes

I realized it just too late!

Or alternatively, little-known fact, she also played the goat in that film. Truly a versatile actor! 😄

I like Adria Arjona, she was great in Good Omens and Andor. I actually liked last year’s Superman alright, I hope this is good.

I buy this US$6 bottle from Aldi for the label, but it’s a decent pinot grigio too.

You’re almost certainly right, they will be fired if they disobey the would-be autocrat. That’s basically what happened in Nixon’s “Saturday Night Massacre” when he wanted to fire special prosecutor Archibald Cox. Attorney General Elliot Richadson refused and resigned immediately. So too did Deputy AG William Ruckelshaus. Then loyal fascism supporter Robert Bork did as instructed, and the story of the resignations became bigger than the firing of Cox, leading to the impeachment proceedings and a new special prosecutor.

I don’t really disagree with you, the system needs significant reform, and losing good career professionals is bad for everyone. But it’s worth it to fight like hell at every stage, it slows them down and sometimes the opposition shifts public sentiment.

These defeats in court are good—necessary, even—but the protestors are still being prosecuted, put in jail, subjected to cash bond requirements and required to hire defense counsel. Yes, the Trump Admin loses a lot, but it doesn’t have to win every case to chill and deter opposition. The power imbalance is still a huge threat when a would-be autocrat can bring the full force of the federal government to bear on individual citizens. I want to see more AUSAs declining to prosecute at all, they have independent obligations as officers of the court to follow the constitution.

Portal 1 & 2 were the first to my mind as well. I really like this list, actually.

Wait until you hear about the Gran Colombia.

How much did it cost them, what’s the going rate right now?

… . and Tesla stock is somehow STILL over-valued.

No problem!

Radio Free Ubanism talked about this last week, and they said that Amtrak has already ordered cars to replace these, but they won’t be delivered for another 18 months, so it’s going to be a long period of disruption. There was some talk about Amtrak leasing cars from regional transit agencies (Sound Transit, possibly) to fill the gaps for a while.
