so the party that tells young men not go to college because itβs gay has a feudal tech faction that hates hiring women but is ok with hiring brown men under strict visas that tie them to employers and the ethnonationalist faction doesnβt like that so the tech faction is doing social media censorship

At this point (lol, "this point" being damn near a decade now), I just default to the assumption that, anytime he says words, he's lying. Any truths are the actual surprise (was going to say "pleasant surprise" but more often than not it's more likely to be a horrific "surprise")

I just wrote a Substack piece on why denying coverage for cancer care is especially dangerous, given the impact of delays in care. These problems come up especially in proton beam radiation therapy, which gets called experimental --> denied despite approval in 1988. open.substack.com/pub/miranday...

Also, Biden didnβt βpardonβ them he gave them life in prison instead of death.
Also also, we lost 6000 workers to illness constructing the Panama Canal not 38000. (The French lost 22,000)

What part of Texas? I don't doubt you at all cos when I was there I thought we had the worst drivers, before I moved to Nashville lol. It's like the worst of FW and Dallas here, but somehow even dumber. But at least DFW roads are mostly well-lit, which did help a bit. Here it's dark af everywhere

Yeah, I had to drive some giants at an old job, and I *hate* them with a passion, whether driving them or driving around them lol. I'll take my ancient, tiny 2dr Volvo over any of them any day.

π―. I swear, I get in near misses with them literally every time I go anywhere around here. And I've become more of a conservative driver in my old age (largely due to having a kid now and also trying to maximize fuel efficiency and minimize wear). It's pretty infuriating, ngl

I thought that at first. But I've been paying attention to *where* on the assembly the light originates, and I can say with almost full certainty that the drivers in this town are using their brights lol.

I learned recently that they *would* be illegal if they were required to hold up to the same standards as other consumer vehicles. Iirc trucks and SUVs are regulated under (imo now-antiquated) rules treating them all like work vehicles. Can't remember the details, but I do remember that it sucks.
