I continue to be amazed/not amazed by how angry lawmakers of both parties get over who gets to decide to approve housing developments.

I'm old enough to know just how often the Republican body politic has held a Democrat or Democrats upto a certain ethical or practical standard only to completely abandon it for their own later.
The level of hypocrisy in these moments has been utterly stunning.

On my Surface Book (Windows 10) my image is pixelated across multiple videoconferencing tools (in-browser and not). Seems like a regression from driver updates that I was given on August 21/22, although the updates are mostly labeled as much older. Anybody else seeing this?

Let’s talk for a moment about beg buttons…
First: beg buttons are NOT there to serve pedestrians. They exist to serve people in cars. They exist so that car traffic signals can minimize the car travel “delays” associated with people who need to cross a street on foot. (/1)

like if you believe that polling using likes vs retweets is a fair and unbiased polling method
retweet if you believe that polling using likes vs retweets is fundamentally flawed due to the inherent functional differences between liking and retweeting

The firefighters are now supporting our #NetNeutrality bill, #SB822. According to California Professional Firefighters: “CPF has come to conclude that if net neutrality is not restored, the effect could be disastrous to the public’s safety.” Thank you firefighters!

Maybe this is a good time to pressure stores that sell the National Enquirer to stop doing so?

You should design the diacritic system like Hangul, though, where the shape of the diacritic gives you an indication of what sort of box you're talking about.
Böx would be about fragmentation.

I hope that in the future, I will again be able to hope that the US President is competent and effective at achieving their goals.
That requires believing the President wants what is best for the country and the world, rather than for themself.
That's not this President.

As a tell of how sincere this proclamation is or is being taken, just watch how many anti-abortion Senators or even anti-abortion outside groups put out statements of concern on Kavanaugh now. The answer will be, approximately, zero.
NEW BREAKING: Sen. Collins just said Kavanaugh told her he agrees w Roberts' take on Roe V Wade - that it is settled law.
