I’ve been thinking about why the assassination attempts have only just now started. I wonder if they become more likely when a politician or celebrity is seen as weakening in favor as opposed to when they are on the rise.

And multi-winner ranked choice with larger districts makes gerrymandering much less impactful.

He spent a lot of his presidency watching Fox News and ignoring his briefings. Staff figured out pretty quickly that he likes pictures and compliments and tried to use those to help him get through minutes of material.

So there’s a few different types of angels described in the old testament. This forum post cites some of the descriptions. The Ophanim description from Ezekiel is the stranger one. Here’s a link to the Amplified translation that I like to use to get a better idea of the source.

You can’t resist a 5 octave rosewood marimba.

But there is surely room between “controlled by the government” and “not accountable for the content on its platform.”

It’s the ballet slippers that really take this to the next level.

Imagine trying to find shoes that don’t look like clown shoes when your toes are that spread.

“Yeah the mouths match up, but why does this highschool kid sound like he’s 40? Y’all mind if we go back to the fingernail stuff?”

I think this is a common misconception about how electability works in a first-past-the-post voting system. There is no benefit to going with a compromise position or reaching out to moderates. The number of people who can be persuaded to vote one way or another is miniscule. The number of people who can be persuaded to vote or not to vote is massive.

If people are excited or scared, they come out to vote. With disenfranchisement primarily focused on progressive and minority voters, there’s not much left to gain in scaring regressive conservatives more, they already vote at high numbers.

In Albany, Georgia on July 20th, 2023, the relative humidity at 94 F was 54%. As someone who’s experienced dry heat vs humidity, I wanted to offer that context. Sweating just doesn’t cool you down as the humidity rises.

Oh snap. You’re right!

Tokyo Story from 1953 and Ozu’s most well-regarded work. If you’ve never noticed how a director frames a shot in a movie before, this one will make you aware of how well it can be done.

Or Bad Religion’s 21st Century (Digital Boy)

I kind of love those, but they are definitely excessively used.

Homeschool Shooters

What is being strange? Am just a normal warm-water port-loving Americain like you.

It is wild to me how well they have done at the box office. They just kept getting worse and people have only recently stopped going to see them. I wonder if hese do poorly after release, but are big events in the short term.

And this is a massive increase in authority for the courts. If there is ambiguity in the wording of a law, it’s open for a lawsuit.
