You can’t resist a 5 octave rosewood marimba.

But there is surely room between “controlled by the government” and “not accountable for the content on its platform.”

Not OP, but most of what I watch is on Youtube as well except for Lindsay Ellis and The Great War.

I think this is a common misconception about how electability works in a first-past-the-post voting system. There is no benefit to going with a compromise position or reaching out to moderates. The number of people who can be persuaded to vote one way or another is miniscule. The number of people who can be persuaded to vote or not to vote is massive.

If people are excited or scared, they come out to vote. With disenfranchisement primarily focused on progressive and minority voters, there’s not much left to gain in scaring regressive conservatives more, they already vote at high numbers.

In Albany, Georgia on July 20th, 2023, the relative humidity at 94 F was 54%. As someone who’s experienced dry heat vs humidity, I wanted to offer that context. Sweating just doesn’t cool you down as the humidity rises.

Oh snap. You’re right!

Tokyo Story from 1953 and Ozu’s most well-regarded work. If you’ve never noticed how a director frames a shot in a movie before, this one will make you aware of how well it can be done.

Homeschool Shooters

What is being strange? Am just a normal warm-water port-loving Americain like you.

And this is a massive increase in authority for the courts. If there is ambiguity in the wording of a law, it’s open for a lawsuit.

That’s why there’s been no reboot or sequel. We’re only just now catching up to the futuristic levels of depravity he foresaw.

In my state, ballot initiatives to change to ranked choice or approval voting, ideally with expanded multiple winner districts.

My favorite baseball player is Mike Truck.

It would be more bearable if they didn’t all high five.

And if they hear this information, they may stare blankly, refuse to take in the new information, then respond with a thought-terminating cliche like “God only made two genders.”

I found it compelling to watch, but not exciting. Kind of in the same way Mr Rogers and Bob Ross held my attention without much happening. Something very real about it.

The very next book? Let Us Follow Him

The countries with declining birthrates have also seen the destruction of their wetlands. The connection is so clear.

I’ve been impressed by her ability to actually get things done. She’s been getting community programs funded in her district that accomplish Green New Deal goals but doing it silently without attaching Green New Deal wording anywhere. She got other representatives running similar programs in the same way. I respect someone who is willing to speak up but also believes in their mission enough to do it quietly if that’s what it takes.

In the election that Huckabee-Sanders won, she was up against Chris Jones, an MIT graduate with a masters in nuclear engineering and a PhD in urban planning and an ordained minister. My fellow Arkansans voted for the woman who didn’t show up to the debate and spent most of her time out of the state hanging around Fox News. I don’t think my state deserves Foghorn Leghorn if we could get him.
