True, true. I forgot that part.

Yeah, maybe it’s not exactly fair for me to say Dunn beat her out—Dunn was a lock on the team regardless, and Hinkle was vocal about not wanting to wear Pride jerseys—but it was nonetheless very risky to not have the depth there (and I think that was a fair criticism). Because if anything happened to Dunn/O’Hara then…

I was only speaking to the individual bill you posted, and it reminded me of what’s happened here. I’m certainly not trusting any union-related bill from an effing Tea Party republican....

I think what the bill was saying is that unions who experience bargaining unit turnover (the bargaining unit being everyone covered under that union’s CBA) greater than 50%, then the union must have a recertification vote. Nothing to do with internal leadership voting.

I’m not convinced you’re an actual Minnesota sports fan because a return to mediocrity is still *highly* plausible within the next 73 games :/

Why didn’t Madeline throw the ice cream?!?!

As a Gay™, I will say that the one thing UFC is doing better than most corporations is openly donating proceeds to places like GLAAD.

I mean, sea level rise in coastal Louisiana is exacerbated for a few reasons (mostly Mississippi River diversions) but also because the oil and gas industry has completely plowed through coastal wetlands—which would otherwise be a natural barrier—to make navigation canals. Most of the sites have been utterly abandoned…

Nothing says football/soccer in 2020 like Diego Maradona, Iniesta, and Ronaldinho.

Maybe, but the whole in-game balance reason doesn’t make a whole lot of sense to me because it’s really never been an issue in the recent past, so why now? Especially because neither XY nor S/M had Pokemon bank compatibility right away, and apparently Home won’t be out until 2020.

The goodest of bois

Yeah, I think for me the biggest disappointment was how this was rolled out. The initial Home announcement was promising something that they knew they couldn’t deliver on completely, and the way it was all dropped yesterday just left people with even more questions about their plans for the future...

Anyone else watch the Sw/Sh treehouse and notice that they announced Pokemon Home is only going to allow you to transfer over Pokemon to the new games if they’re in the Galar region? RIP my living ‘dex.

Nah, same here. It didn’t help that all their secret chats around the house are entirely too dark to see who is who.

Eh, not entirely unusual. Several academic student employee unions are organized under UNITE, UAW, etc. When you’re a small shop it can be better to be affiliated with a larger union structure than just be on your own.

My non-lawyer, non-lobbyist interpretation is that the LDA is essentially based on how much time you spend on lobbying activities specifically as an employee and/or how much money you spend as an employer. So most of what you mentioned would be considered lobbying, but doubtful you’d have register as a lobbyist based…

Also Monet X Change in an extended version of the Superbowl Pepsi commercial (I think this one aired during the Grammys?)

Jesus Christ the number of “I will burn everything to the ground if Silky wins” replies to every RPDR social media post the last couple weeks was ridiculous.

You’re totally right about how untucked tends to cast queens in different lights than what’s edited on the show.

Oh yeah, I’d say in hindsight it seems especially obvious considering how Yvie was treated in the reunion vs. Brooke.
