"I was on the side of the incredibly unpopular regime that wanted to take all federal funding away from our state" is an incredible position to stake out publicly, especially for a guy who clearly believes he is going places.

This is what I keep thinking about. Trump hosted the IN GOP. Vance came here, twice! They made impeachable threats against the state, tried to intimidate senators by swatting or threatening primaries. And lost! All that power squandered in a quest for, at most, 2 house seats.

no that’s the thing - the transporter works the way one story needs and changes as the next story needs. it can be a fun diversion to debate but, technologically speaking, the star trek canon just doesn’t have the rigor or integrity to sustain any substantial philosophical debates.

The fawning TIME cover for the "Architects of A.I." showing some of the worst people in the world sitting on a girder above NYC. In this version, Spider-Man has swung by their steel beam and sent them all tumbling in what can best be described as nothing more than an unfortunate accident.

It's inconvenient for people interested in Dem factional fights, or Obama 2012 veterans trying to get consulting work. But we have known since several days after the election that Trump gained fewer votes from 2020-2024 in swing states that were exposed to campaign messages than in other states. /1
