I think a system that forces a supermajority consensus for judicial picks, but only simple majorities for ordinary legislation, is about 100x better than what we have: supermajority for ordinary legislation, simple majority for the judiciary, including SCOTUS.
Itās just crazy. I cannot relate. Just thinking about October:
-friend dinner (restaurant)
-small edm show
-plane to Montreal
-big edm festival in Montreal
-eating out every meal in Montreal
-4-8 movie theater visits
-Halloween zoo event/party
-another concert
-wiz game?
Obviously if you have kids you do less but alsoā¦ not really! I live next to a school and parks and see parents doing shit all the time.
Leave your house, the air is good
Knowing these statistics, yes itās insane. So many people donāt do shit.
As an extrovert, some of these blow my mind. 26% of Americans didnāt go out for breakfast a SINGLE time in 365 days? 54% didnāt go to a sports game and 51% didnāt go to a bar/tavern even once? Even with the increase, 68% of adults didnāt attend a single concert? Are there people out there that just donāt do anything??
it is funny when I see people act like āabundanceā was a failure because it certainly convinced the correct people

The Senate exists in the form it does specifically because people in small states cared a lot about who people in populous states would elect. Unless, of course this is "no no fuck YOUR feelings" and it's only New Yorkers who aren't supposed to care.
A tied Texas poll is not āgrim for Demsā unless you legitimately donāt have a grasp on realistic expectations.

This gibbering little coward is who moderate Republicans view as the best hope for the party in '28. You were in a contract for Starshield, that service was interrupted in Ukraine, and if the President didn't want that to happen, someone in the gov't or Musk himself fucked up.

Trump won in 2016 because of immigration. It was one million times more predicative as the top issue among voters who went Obama -> Trump than anything else.
Believing 2016 was primarily about economics has pretty much led to a fundamental misunderstanding of the last decade and how to win back those voters

Blinder & Watson (2016) found that there is superior economic performance under Democratic Party presidents thanks to fewer wars and energy shocks, which they seem to characterize as dumb luck or something but IMO reflects a genuine pattern.

Finally hung up this heavy ass mirror that used a cleat. Had to get a hammer drill and masonry shit. But now I fully know I can hang up whatever, whereas before it was sketch
