Gotta say Malone, the vibes in PA are good. I don’t know what tomorrow will bring, and thanks to scammers poisoning telecommunications and making polling response rates negative five billion percent I don’t know what the real sentiments are rn, but I feel good about Biden in PA.

Asimov wrote a bunch of novels in a future where almost all humans lived in super-dense underground climate controlled hive-cities with almost everybody a white collar government bureaucrat, and with almost all manual labor conducted by robots He was shocked to learn ppl thought this was dystopian

Delaware a few years ago amended its statute about the use of witnesses’ voluntary statements to police as trial evidence to specifically instruct the court to consider the failure to record the statement when determining whether the statement was truly voluntary.

these stories served their purpose, allowing the GOP to shift the terms of the 2021 and 2022 elections away from Covid and the recovery to favorable ground of "crime." Now that the narrative is collapsing, conservatives just retreat to a new battlefield of their choosing and the press follows.
Anyone keeping track of the narratives pushed by law & order centrists during the pandemic that have disintegrated? I've got the shoplifting panic, cops quitting because of protesters, progressive DAs ushering in new age of crime & violence, bail reform = more crime . . . Others?

NEW: Biden tells Congressional Democrats he intends to stay in the race: "I am firmly committed to staying in this race, to running this race to the end, and to beating Donald Trump."

When Kermit III was born his father was Junior and his grandpa was Senior. His GGF was not alive. So Kermit was called III for that reason. They’re not a dynasty. When his grandfather died, he already had an established professional identity, so he didn’t want to change his name.

Wikipedia wants it to be like Habsburgs and shit but they’re not. It was literally just to distinguish which of the living Kermits you were talking about.

And yes he also has a Kermit son. He has joked that it was at his wife’s insistence, that she would not be the one to break the chain. The informal shortening of Kermit is Kim.

He is, I should stress, a very smart guy, a very nice person, and a great teacher. I love him.

Sir Terry would be as upset as anyone about this. Sigh.

I have very complicated feelings about share buybacks, conceptually, because the idea of stock being owned by an entity is already fraught, and the idea of a company owning *its own stock* is even worse.

It went against the articles of confederation. Completely violated Article XIII’s amendment procedures.

No founding but the second founding Fwiw the constitution was also adopted in a manner contrary to the articles of confederation.

The demands for a "blitz primary" aren't serious suggestions, they're designed to set the table for delegitimizing Kamala Harris if Biden were to step aside for her

Also killing Al-Awlaki for reasons of and using a method of causation that runs through his official duties indicates it is manifestly the President doing it.
