*just gestures at the hundreds of people who did irreparable damage to their lives trying to murder congress members last month*

I hope we don’t get too lost in nominating someone from a non-ivy league school, as much as I would like someone who did not graduate from Yale or Harvard. Amy Coney Barrett technically checks that box as a Notre Dame alum, and she grew up with all the privilege that a white person enjoys with a Shell Oil lawyer for a…

It’s a motel. While other long-term residents might know the score, it only takes one temporary resident who might honestly have been concerned. Demonizing that person is no better than harshly judging a young mother who is between a rock and a hard place.

Careful. We used to say shit like that, here.

For me it’s the parents wanting their kids back in school... during a deadly pandemic.

jus sayin

I’m kinda amused about the underlying suggestion in most of these recent pro-Tessica articles that turrible meanies are to blame for this woman’s error going viral.

Municipal broadband provides direct evidence to consumers, and thereby voters, that government can do something right and usually better than private industry.

would promote competition by limiting government-run broadband networks throughout the country and encouraging private investment

I’m with you, I figure there will be enough time to deprive myself of Earthly pleasures once I’m dead. Unfortunately science suggests that enjoying those things may expedite the process. 

So, at the risk of “libsplaining” this is... incredibly consistent with what Biden’s been saying since he’s been campaigning. Further, average debt isn’t quite as useful as median debt — since the people with significant ($200K+) debt throws the average out of whack.

I would assume it's included in Discovery+. They have everything else as far as I can tell.

I don’t think that “improving” means what NYT wants it to mean. Since the share of population having received at least one dose has been linear for the last month, that means we’re vaccinating about as many people today as we did yesterday. That’s not an improvement, and the slope of the graph indicates that it will…

“Going forward, Ducklo will not be working with any reporters at Politico.”

That’s the thing people who claim capitalism don’t understand about scalpers.

They’re not capitalists. They’re actively HARMING capitalism.

Each step in the supply chain is supposed to add some sort of value to the product to justify the price increase that each step creates.

Scalpers simply add an extra step,…

Fake outrage about civility is back in style for Trump taint remoras GOP clowns, who could’ve expected it? Next they’ll be fake concerned about deficits or treating trans kids like any other kids.

I feel reasonably sure your scalp is considered part of your skin.

All the good conservative lawyers abandoned Trump long ago, so this is what he’s left with. At least when he was in office, people could act like being the president’s lawyer was something to boast about. Now, there’s no reason to get involved here unless your resume is so modest that this would represent something…

Hammers are how most body panel adjustments happen. It shouldn’t come to that -- their tolerances should be better to start with -- but once you have a panel that’s subtly the wrong shape a hammer is the only way to fix it.
