Mitch McConnell wrote this in 1970 and I think it’s reflective of the Republican approach to the judiciary in all the years since.

Hoooooly fucking shit

Thanks, amigo!

Such sanitary language.

A driver crossed the centerline and killed Anacortes High School teacher and pillar of the community Edmundo Corrales.

Right on!

I, (Tomahawks) too, (HIMARS) am (no fly zone) opposed (DEWs) to (155mm shells by the trainload) bleeding (Javelins) out (medical equipment) Ukraine ($5 billion in de-mining equipment)

I was absolutely horrified when Zaynab said no GOP members took up her invitation to come stand with her in support of her and our other Somali neighbors. She has to work with those people every fucking day and not a GODDAMN one of them had the balls to go stand with her.

I went to a book reading in Seattle with Salman Rushdie this week (it was fabulous). By pure coincidence, there was a group of Somali poets from the Gaas Collective sharing their work on the same day Trump was spewing hate toward Somalis in the White House. 1/

single-family-only zoning is not what keeps the zinc smelters away from the playgrounds

a) they call it "Zootropolis 2" - is it titled differently in the UK??
b) furries get a lot of credit for a lot of things, but I don't think even they can make for a "record-breaking success at the box office"

Men! SIGNAL THY VIRTUE

For example, state law can declare that small backyard cottages are legal. But unless cities can review them, permit them, and builders can finance them, legalization will remain largely symbolic. The permissions may have changed, but the reflexes never adapted.”

Coool! I also think the 'highways of significance' is an interesting choice for this analysis (a fine choice, since there are so few lane-miles compared to the rest of the road network).

Several folks have shared this article with me, but I cannot get around the paywall. I'm glad Covert offered the summary, beucase

*dammit*

Lane reductions prioritize people who are vulnerable, and - by definition in our society - disposable. That's why governments resist doing them!

Thanks for the heads-up. I am going to first reach out to the teacher for a quick discussion.

oh my freaking GOD

a good duck!

[perks ears] I would be very interested to know the results for the PSRC counties' unincorporated areas (Kitsap, Snohomish, Peirce, and King)!!!

I peered at the back, and - sure enough - it has a little code for 'guided reading levels' that links directly back to Fountas & Pinnell.

This may explain why she has moved on to 2cd grade math but still can't get all her letters.

One of our kids brought home a book from kindergarten for very-beginning readers. It features complex words like "engine" that are *not* for learning to decode words.

Our little scholar has completely memorized the book and enjoys 'reading' from it.

so... [extrapolates, adds in some very hopeful estimates] a single 3-unit plant built in 2050?

A question worth asking in every city...
