Every. Time. I. Read. It.

Yeah, if you have serious cravings, one won’t be enough to satisfy it, and now you have to find another smoker with chicken nuggets to trade

There was literally an interview with Bill Gates published yesterday where he was saying he was optimistic since Trump appeared to be listening when he discussed the global AIDS pandemic over dinner.

So much for that I guess.

The 3:15 on the alarm clock is a nice touch

Those labels only apply in California. If you’re in another state you’re fine.

The CIA topples governments. They don’t need to do anything but sit back and watch ours topple itself

Company’s used email to that extent in the 80s? I get that tech jobs, unis, and research groups used it, but there was a company using it widely enough that HR used it?

Also the ubiquitous theme from The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly. Also the rest of the snow, where the Ocarina represents Angel Eyes (the Bad)

“See, because of me, they have a warning now”

It’s just like me, fr fr

Is the pizza super oily? I noticed greasy pizza gives me awful heartburn

Woulda been cooler if they spun up a US government Mastodon instance and made his account there, but this is certainly a step in the right direction

The thing that is different about Congress is that Reps and Senators are free to vote with or against the rest of their party without any repercussions. We don’t have three line whips or anything like that here, so the party system isn’t as powerful. This is why Manchin could go against the Democratic Party agenda so frequently and the Democratic leadership couldn’t do anything about it.

So in theory these Reps could stay Republican and vote with the Democrats, or go independent/libertarian/etc if they really want to make a break with the Republican label. Staying or changing parties really doesn’t matter except in how it defines the majority party in each house, and also practically as to what legislation is likely to get brought to a vote per the Hastert Rule or the Standing Rules of the Senate.

So this all can go to explain why they’re not changing parties or who they caucus with. It still leaves the question of why they’re choosing to leave rather than remain and affect change from within. Answer: They don’t care about the country or the party. They were here for power, the lobbying money, the post politics sinecures, etc. Now that all of that is gone, they have decided to cut and run. They are abandoning ship now in the hopes that they can get the best life raft.

Successful as in getting the nomination rather than the incumbent? First one that comes to mind is Reagan getting the nomination over Ford

beets is a godsend for managing the file layout. If you need to make changes down the line it makes it super easy to migrate

They can’t pass a Continuing Resolution. Until they have a Speaker, the only business they can conduct is electing a new Speaker

Everything that should be an app has become a web page and everything that should be a web page has become an app

My understanding is that it’s a British term for retiree. Basically just means elderly
