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.

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.

BREAKING: Gov. Walz To Meet With Homan, Doesn’t Know Who Killed Pretti | The Bulwark Podcast YouTube video by The Bulwark

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 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.

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.
