Economic and electoral policy. Solidarity wage and negative income tax. Gold standard loons, anti-vaxxers, and flat-earthers are not different from each other.

The US "Justice System" mafia has forced a guilty plea out of two suspected plotters of the 9/11 attack on the WTC. They offered a life sentence instead of DEATH. The trial would have required the US to justify its use of torture, and addressed potential coerced confessions.

There is like no way to keep DPW away. Mow the lawn? Pull the weeds? They'll send a work order anyway. There were a handful of tall weeds I still needed to cut, I had it like 95% done. Also no citation for that address, except a 2017 one they never closed after executing.

Robert F. Kennedy, Jr be like "I think my campaign might be helping to put a Black woman in the white house so I have to stop this right now and endorse Donald Trump. I'm totally not racist." He literally cited internal polls suggesting his campaign might help Harris.

Maryland is always slow. If you remove the fetal viability clause, Missouri's reproductive freedom ballot measure is much better,covering "prenatal care, childbirth, postpartum care, birth control, abortion care, miscarriage care, and respectful birthing conditions." Governor Wes Moore

I'd still rather spend time with her than the landlord—who is reveling in his victory getting her and her kids thrown out on the street with nowhere to go for being FIVE DAYS LATE on rent because he's a callous asshole.

The Democratic party never projects a vision for anything. Sometimes they talk policy, a lot of times they talk politics. Trump projected a vision. A bad vision, but Hitler projected a bad vision and won. This will do damage that won't be fixed in my natural lifetime.

tfw you ask a chipmaker a bunch of questions about their architecture but also don't tell them you're making a clone of their chip in a hobby FPGA project.

Chokeholds are never warranted. That's what Nelson holds are for. Chokeholds are just a movie prop: while they're trivially easy to escape, the method of escape might break the assailant's neck. Most people just don't know how to escape one and do the exactly wrong thing.

Okay grading papers takes forever holy crap, 170 papers and at 2 minutes each (fast) it's like 6 hours I don't get paid for. Working hours aren't stable enough to get SNAP either. I'mma call Maryland Department of Human Services and see if they'll disburse a month of SNAP to my EBT anyway.

While I agree copyright law needs an overhaul—7, 10, maybe 14 year limits with no renewal past that—Elon's call to abolish all intellectual property law does not properly balance the two competing human rights in play. I strongly oppose both 100 year terms and no copyright.

I have a theory that Donald Trump is unhinged enough that kicking the right powder keg could get him to publicly refer to China as West Taiwan.

As a substitute teacher who wakes up at 7am, doesn't eat, then spends all day hungry, why can we pay a small amount to feed students—and we had to fight for that for years!—but can't pay an even smaller amount to make school breakfast and lunch free for teachers? Delegate Marlon Amprey

I'm covering a US history class and I'm like…does anyone realize how bad the crackdown on organized crime was? We traded away people who like stability and don't like a lot of visible/violent crime because it draws police presence for…undisciplined street gangs.

Hey FTC this is a hilarious amount of fraud. False novelty, for one: we have evaporative cooling (I have a Honeywell one) and they're only useful in dry climates. I have doubts "one company offered millions for the rights." 18 USC 1343? youtube.com/watch?v=6lTq9b…

At this time I am leaning toward the idea that a directly-elected President is broken for a lot of reasons—no checks and balances, no accountability, geopolitical instability undermining diplomacy with other nations, and so forth.

tfw BaltimoreDPW moves trash collection to 5am because someone died of heat stroke. Early shifts lead to heart disease, diabetes, depression…but those are harder to tie back to administrative decisions, making death and injury PR-safe. Just do late shift night collection.
