Press X to doubt

But if the House decides the election, it’s not by Reps, each state makes a vote. And there are more R states than D states, so it will absolutely go to Trump.

The more jobs that are unfilled (a “tighter” job market) means that employers have to raise wages to attract employees. It’s pretty common knowledge in tech that the fastest way to a raise is to switch jobs. More jobs being available is good for workers.

I was trying to nicely tell you I did not appreciate it.

I’m just trying to provide more information for people who, like me, may have thought that their family might have been at risk because I bought freezer waffles.

As someone who recently bought Eggo waffles and was worriedly reading the article: you can keep your hands off my Eggo, it was store brand stuff that was affected.

Wow we really should make !murderedbywords a thing…

(Yes, also !communitiesashashtags)

For some reason I read this headline as “NPR chief” and it was legitimately shocking to me that NPR would be run by someone so actively sadistic.

It being the leader of the NRA is much less shocking.

Yeah, and the justice who wrote that opinion was Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and it’s a great read.

“Free speech” does not mean free from consequences.

I really dislike this phrasing because it does mean freedom from consequences, but only from the government, not private actors like these companies or the general public. The sentiment should really be “free speech does not mean freedom from social backlash” but I know that’s not as catchy…

(Also, yes, free speech does have limits (e.g. hate speech, ‘fighting words’, etc).)

This isn’t the debt ceiling, this is the government funding bills, aka what they are budgeting for departments (that will then eventually require the debt ceiling to be raised because it’s still a deficit)

I shop at S-Mart for all my letter-based shopping needs. I shop smart, at S-Mart

The problem is this: regarding Netanyahu she says “Well he is very clearly a war criminal.” Regarding Putin she says “With Russia it’s far more complicated” and “In so many words, yes.” She’s hedging out of calling Putin a war criminal directly so she can plausibly deny it. She will agree with general statements saying he could be a war criminal under those circumstances but she won’t say it directly so she can go “Oh no, Hasan called him a war criminal, I didn’t, I just agreed that if all of those things were true then he could be considered a war criminal!”

I don’t think anyone would fault you for saying there are 435 members of the house, especially because that number is also wrong (there are six additional non-voting members).

If she had answered more correctly than the number of voting seats I wouldn’t have a problem with it…

Big man, strong man, tears running down his face…

A judge can rule that a case was unfair due to procedural issues, like that a jury arrived at its decision by evidence that shouldn’t have been admitted in the first place. There are terms in this I’m not familiar with (I only know “runaway jury” from the John Grisham novel…), but that seems to be the basis of throwing this out. I’m sure Legal Eagle will cover something as big and weird as this in the next two weeks or so if you want well-explained legal analysis of the finer points.

It was a Crowdstrike-triggered issue that only affected Microsoft Windows machines. Crowdstrike on Linux didn’t have issues and Windows without Crowdstrike didn’t have issues. It’s appropriate to refer to it as a Microsoft-Crowdstrike outage.

This bill is literally about the federal government purchasing flags, not private citizens…
