That’s true, but it’s definitely a positive, if limited, sign.

You should be taking averages, not sums. That would at least partially address the Iceland problem.

Like defunding the postal service so that people can’t vote by mail? I can totally imagine something like “oh, they were willing to vote with 5 polling stations for Milwaukee? Let’s see how they do with a single poll worker for the whole city”.

Funny how the right to own Black people was worth starting a war over but the right to protect citizens from a pandemic needs to give way before the president’s temper tantrums.

I need to bookmark this post, because at some point you’re almost sure to be proven right, and I want a record.

And ask why Susan Collins and other Republicans have completely abdicated their responsibilities (despite continuing to draw salaries).

Funny how the Tea Partiers don’t seem to mind when Trump basically declares himself king.

Yes. And if he loses, to rant and scream about voter fraud. And I completely expect GOP senators to continue to indulge his temper tantrums.

This is so huge. Voter suppression has become an incredibly powerful go-to tactic for the GOP, and it’s amazing to see it fail like this. This is also great news for the November election, since it doesn’t bode well for Trump. Congrats to the citizens of Wisconsin for getting out and voting, even though it was…

Who could have done it better? Well, South Korea, Taiwan, Singapore, and Mongolia for starters. But that doesn’t matter to the administration, they’re just preparing talking points to be repeated ad infinitum.

That’s because Shinra is all about closing doors and the resistance is all about opening them. It’s deep.

That’s interesting, I wouldn’t consider McConnell (the senator) to be zealous or nutty, just completely self-interested and devoid of principles. But I could be completely wrong about that.

This is good news, but I’m expecting the SCOTUS to rule that these bans are acceptable. There are five justices who really want abortion to be illegal, and I think the epidemic is going to give them cover to permit bans (even though apparently it wasn’t enough to allow voters in Wisconsin to vote by mail).

Parton says social distancing is no reason not to celebrate Easter. “Somebody said the other day, ‘Oh, we’ve had a rough week.’ Just think about the rough week that Jesus had.” Well, she has a point.

That makes me feel better. It wasn’t over a flame, because it was an electric stovetop. But I did put the Pyrex directly onto the heating element, and I think that was what did it.

I tried to make polenta once, and I did it by putting a pyrex loaf pan with corn meal and water in it directly onto the stove. It exploded after the glass got hot. I’m actually a really good cook now, but ... it was a process.

April Fool’s Day was 9 days ago, I’m not sure why you’re publishing this take today.

This is what happens when a person starts to think that the laws will not be applied to him.

Also, that date is going to be extended if the pandemic is still raging.

Here is the funny part: Even if the White House wanted to reopen the country, they can’t. The states are following the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s advice against social gatherings. So, states would decide when and if they’ll reopen.
