My family revitalizes abandoned homes, maintains them, and rents them fairly. I'm very proud of our work. We also play games of all descriptions, especially on a table. I like math and science most, but am interested in everything. He/Him/His

Do you have to count the energy that goes into making the road?

Yup, the "representation" part means spending the money in the way that the people we voted for tell you. No taxation without it.

"Hey, kid, gimme your lunch money!"
"No."
"Hey, slightly smaller kid, gimme *your* lunch money."
"No."
"Someone please gimme their lunch money? Musk and Bezos took mine."

Jackie Chan - How to Do Action Comedy
YouTube video by Every Frame a Painting Jackie Chan - How to Do Action Comedy

This ten year old video gave me an incredible appreciation for a well executed fight scene. Despite the title, it applies to every genre and specifically calls out an earlier Marvel movie for it's sub-par work in this area. I recommend this whole channel, in fact. youtu.be/Z1PCtIaM_GQ?...

As soon as enough Americans realize how poor we are, and who robbed us, things are gonna change. Quick.

The pharmacy refilled my inhaler that I have three days left of, which is nice, but not the one I've been out of for three days. I have no stamina and keep accidentally taking two hour naps.

Post from WH about Chicago "in chaos," showing scene from another state.

Post from WH about Chicago "in chaos," showing scene from another state.

A terrific AFP fact check uses reverse image searches to expose how a White House video took scenes from Florida, Texas, South Carolina and Nebraska and lied that they showed "Chicago is in chaos."

I mean, maybe not debunking the statement, because it's more or less true, but definitely debunking the sentiment because it's also more or less perfectly normal.

Wait a second, didn't we debunk this already?

Yeah, it was five months ago, I found it. bsky.app/profile/dons...

@shivambhatt.bsky.social hey, Civilization 7 is on sale on PS5. Should I get it? I've been reading reviews, some of which are brutal, but I don't know who to trust. I trust you.

Why? Ideologically similar groups are just as likely to be across county lines as within them; the east of one town could have more in common with the west of the next town over. This method is ideologically neutral and naturally groups high-density areas. It is the polar opposite of gerrymandering.

Yes, please, if you can. Do it for everyone who can't, because there are a lot of us.

It's the closest thing they've said to true all month. Population dynamics are a valid national concern. But their policy proposals are incredibly stupid and short-sighted.

He can't even get the basics right. Fertility rate isn't measured in percentages. What would it be a percentage of? Nonsense. It's average births per woman (that's how the scientists do it). So yes, replacement is 2.1 people. I like that he tries to take family credit for the existence of boomers%

"Shortest split line" districts of NC.

"Shortest split line" districts of NC.

For comparison, a mathematically determinative method that divides the state's population with the shortest possible lines. Look at how normal those district shapes are!
