i'm convinced that testing centers where you can schedule exams is one of the greatest and most under-utilized innovations in education.
That's how it works for CPA and many professional exams. Choose your day, choose your time.
I also want a heart warming bittersweet story about a happily married couple with a highly appreciated home. He gets a diagnosis of chronic disease and ends his life allowing the wife to sell the home tax free. She reflects on death, taxes, money, family, happiness.
I feel like there might be context here? I have no clue what this position is or who the nominee is or what impact this has.
Did Kennedy intentionally pronounce bluesky to rhyme with "ski"? is that how republicans pronounce it to own the libs?
A 5 year-old would be able to read and pronounce that correctly.
I want a murder mystery plot that is one spouse killing the other for stepped-up basis.
The perversity of the murder is matched only by the perversity of the tax incentive.
Shout out to all the people being good and decent on the internet.
This says more about the high calibre of Democratic governors than it does Polis.
Honestly a pretty impressive list of potential candidates
If I had to choose someone in the Maine senate election, I would choose not Susan Collins.
Polymarket has somewhat lower odds on an Iran strike than I would have thought:

DeSantis / JD Vance
Many people are worthy of condemnation. But I think it's reasonable to have a policy of not publicly condemning people by request. Or even not publicly condemning people in general.
It's ironic that farrakhan was chosen as an example of bigotry because he is black and Muslim.
I don't think it is functionally possible to condemn a statement without condemning to some degree the person attached to it.
Personally, I think "condemnation" of specific individuals and words is overrated. Positive examples celebrating diversity and value of religions seem more effective.
Great interview with Mayoral candidate Nithya Raman:

I say to myself, "predictable puke-face..." and imagine orange vomit with lips and a toupee. This action wards off evil.
State legislature/governor election systems:
Tier 1 - Top 4 jungle primary with RCV: AK
Tier 2 - Top 2 jungle primary: CA and WA
Tier 3 - Partisan primaries with independent redistricting: AZ AR CO HI ID MI MO MT NJ OH PA NY VA
Tier 4 - Partisan primaries w/o independent redistricting: all others
Bartholomew and Mewnie pair nicely with nicknames "mew" and "mew 2"
Most people hate-commenting on this interview have watched neither the two-minute clip nor the 23 minute interview. Walz was great in this interview.
The two out-of-context quotes above the video that people are basing their comments on are highly misleading.
This is good background on the immigration system from about 1 year ago:

I demand no playoff football on MLK weekend EXCEPT Monday night. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
This person clearly was not "fine" with xitter. they call it xitter. They created a bluesky account and built their following.
It is fine to view things as a necessary evil and look for opportunities to move on when practical to do so.
When I first read this tweet, I was unsure if it was referring to Iran or USA.
Good video and explanation of the Minnesota shooting. Video of the shooting is about 2 minutes in.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=pZJC...
what gets me is the lead: "A fatal shooting in Minneapolis on Wednesday launched an immediate information war, in which politicians drew lines and exchanged accusations long before they knew the facts."
We had eyewitness testimony, videos, and ICE's recent history. That's a lot of facts.
