Theoretically that’s what the point of representatives is, government officials selected by the people to decide laws and where/how money is spent. Obviously a lot is left to be desired in practice.

Say what you will about Macron, but getting Trump to sign what is essentially a surrender treaty in Versailles is some top-tier trolling. A+, no notes.

While I fully disagree with the entire project, any White House construction should be fully funded by the public. It’s the People’s House and inviting private money is inviting corruption.

He was green later, but was that Grey Hulk the first time they showed him? I’d love to see marvel do something with that and maybe this could be a setup.

Everything is looking to similar to (or worse than) 2015 on the Columbia River, which saw massive die offs of both salmon and sturgeon. Horrible memories of boating up and down the Clackamas and lower Willamette counting the sturgeon washed up on the banks for ODFW.

I don’t know why, but I always kinda got the libertarian vibes from him. His clip show or however you’d describe it just seemed off to me, like he was trying to sell people something.

Markwayne having equity in a kratom business absolutely tracks.

Markwayne Mullin earlier today called it the President’s House (as opposed to Peiplems House), which says everything you need to know about what the admin thinks of it.

Amazing how they keep finding new layers of corruption to add. Like a rotten onion.

Yeah, if anything they were ahead of schedule this year and playing with house money. Future is bright for the Spurs.

Two-piece band consisting of a drummer and a guitar and bass combo utilizing loopers. Seems like a bunch of people (includng myself) have just discovered them from a recent KEXP broadcast.

There's a difference between a 15-year-old and a 5-year-old, you know?

She should not be able to walk down the street without constant reminder of making this statement about victims of sex trafficking. Absolute monster of a person.

I’ve had this song stuck in my head all day since someone else posted a cover of it earlier. This is the second version released by original artist Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy (Will Oldham), and was released after Johnny Cash covered it as part of his ‘I’m dying so here’s a billion covers to make you bawl’ phase, giving it a more uplifting feel with the thumping drum and backup vocals. One of my favorite post-depression jams for coming back to the world.

The chairman of the New York State Democratic Party said on Thursday that he would not support Zohran Mamdani, his party’s nominee for mayor of New York City, citing fundamental disagreements over Israel and democratic socialism.

The position puts the chairman, Jay Jacobs, directly at odds with both Democratic primary voters and Gov. Kathy Hochul, his de facto boss, who endorsed Mr. Mamdani on Sunday despite her own differences with the nominee.

Mr. Jacobs, a moderate from Long Island, was so opposed to the governor’s endorsement that he told associates in recent days that he would sooner resign as chairman than back Mr. Mamdani, a 33-year-old state lawmaker and democratic socialist, according to people who spoke with the chairman.

Does this book ever pick up? I’m about a quarter of the way in and so far ‘The Adventures of Mary Sue As She Looks For A Date’ is just not doing anything for me. I remember tears ago hearing of it and thought it’s political world building, but so far it seems to be nothing more than ‘theater kids rule the world but- no touching.’ It seems like it wants to dive into the politics, but then again very other page it derails itself itself with ‘those damn eyes.’

Idk, I guess I’ve probably already made up my mind, but would be interested to know if it ever gets out of its own way.
