Americans love to go on about freedom and liberty and give me liberty or give me death and land of the free and the Liberty Bell and the Statue of Liberty and freedom to have liberty to be free and also there is one allowed way to eat rice and you better strictly conform, bucko.

More Than Their Work - Offrange In calls to recognize immigrants as people, too often they’re reduced to what they produce and how they support our economy.

Here's me with an op-ed in Offrange about the tendency to value undocumented immigrants only for their labor ambrook.com/offrange/per...

You can't say "just learn to code" as a flippant reply to the unemployed anymore because AI took those jobs too.

Now you have to flippantly say "just learn to architect high throughput fault tolerant distributed systems that meet business needs with minimal costs"

I don't get defending Graham Platner. This is still the primary, just get someone else to run against Mills and Collins. There's over 30 people in Maine, one of them should be able to

Tbh I kinda feel bad for actual 12-year-olds catching all these strays

This is a drum I've been banging for a while -- if it were true that higher taxes made rich people flee for low tax areas, there would be no rich people living in CA or NYC! It's a claim that's used a lot by anti-government types and it's long been visibly and demonstrably false.

we really do need an established bench of non-mummified candidates and i guess i can see a point that jumping right into "US Senator" is not exactly the best route for reasons that are now rather clear. we should all start running for dog catcher asap. and by we i mean you

A deeply unpopular regime grows more brazen and opulent as its population experiences increasing food insecurity.

I wonder if there's any historical precedent for what might happen next 🤔

You can make any policy sound nice by using buzzwords like “affordable housing” and “equity”. But you need to look at the numbers and ask if these projects are actually delivering what they claim. TADs haven’t delivered for Atlantans who need affordable housing most!

promising, handsome mayoral candidate takes baddie wife out for dinner,

what a loser amirite?

Glad they got this nazi guy before he could pull a Fetterman. The senate isn’t big enough for two Fettermen. Imagine another cranky adult man dressed for a continental breakfast at the Ramada, edglorded up in the corner, coming up with new ways to breathe loud.

Just a reminder that — in the middle of a shutdown — House Republicans are on a paid vacation solely to avoid releasing the Epstein files and lowering your health care costs.

hey I haven't seen this mentioned anywhere but - if you're using Chrome and you don't want this gross little AI Mode button to pop up in your address bar, paste "chrome://flags" into your address bar and search the flags for "AI Mode." find "AI Mode Omnibox Entrypoint" then you can just disable it!

World's Strongest Man on ESPN at 1am on a Saturday night when I was 14 hit so hard

ESPN lost its soul when it replaced grainy footage of strongman competitions and bowling with an endless series of shouty-person televised talk radio shows. Having Chris Coons For Delaware sponsor a nationally-televised cornhole league would not only win back men, it would right a historical wrong.

7pm: I still have to clean the kitchen, get 2 kids bathed, scoop the litter boxes, feed the cats, take out the trash and roll the bins down to the street.

The average American millennial man has been a bitch, lover, child, mother, sinner, saint, and I believe now that we do not feel ashamed

For the most part (>99.9% of the time) there is no "Nazi phase." There is really only Nazi.

The incredibly rare stories of "recovery" should be ignored as statistical anomalies, and the punching should continue.

You have to be willing to walk away from these guys if they let you down, just as a matter of basic self respect. It's not a fandom. You're hiring them to do a job or not.

I agree. Lots of normal people saying this

i see cis white people now having the "actually most of us didn't have a nazi edgelord phase and it's weird you think that" convo. who says there's no such thing as collective progress
