that bahn mi was so spicy the last time I got it that I was crying during and after

100% correct. A bunch of CEOs overhired, and now they get to blame overhiring on AI instead of their poor decision making.

We've found the answer to the question, "How far have we fallen"

Lakshay Jain: But bluesky is meaner and I'm immune to propoganda

The problem with those wrapper platforms, imo, is immature access control and IAM offerings. Larger orgs with need to segment permissioning are often unable to without moving to the big clouds.

Every Jeremy Peters article is just the arrested development dead dove meme

lol jeremy peters, republican hack

(5) Stop with the fucking “kitchen table issues!” Yes, people respond well to that line experimentally. But if they actually acted on it then Donald fucking Trump wouldn’t be president right now.

Try to have the faintest clue of what sort of apparatus his party network has actually built!

Sandy was in 2012.

So it's kind of extremely damned if you don't, damned if you do.

I think that delivering may or may not be helpful (probably not very helpful), but NOT delivering is extremely damaging.

It was not an absolute disaster, come on.

I want you to know that my brain added a y to horse so I read it as horsey.

Is there any evidence he was actually that young or are we just in the make shit up phase?

sure — the 2021 democratic primary likely has a different result. I really hope you see that the point you are trying to make undermines your position and supports mine though. under your framing more people voting doesn’t make a difference to outcomes so the more engaged electorate actually isn’t.

I’m aware of who you are. This undercuts your argument further. We currently have off year elections and it has done nothing to further engagement with local issues.

@asharangappa.bsky.social This is what people are referring to when they talk about the rot in the legal academy.

I'm just in your mentions to say I support your usage of argle-bargle

I think a mealy mouthed statement at the end of the race instead of a full throated endorsement and campaigning all along is much preferable.

It took me years to really appreciate this one, but it's incredible.

to be fair she's only legally appointed to zero districts at the moment

The best. And then the entire row if you're in a bigger plane? Incredible.

The university of New Hampshire has no incentive to cook a poll

Ok, it’s just one poll you don’t need to have conspiracy theories about it. Either subsequent polls will invalidate it as an outlier or find something comparable.

Talmon Joseph Smith is still going on about how he doesn't understand the politics behind ObamaCare passage.

What, specifically, should Obama have done to strong arm Joe Lieberman who repeatedly said he would vote against the bill with a public option, to vote for the bill.

This is an incredible demonstration of green lanterism and Murc's law.
