I'm a day late but reporting on polls seems much more trustworthy than almost all other journalism
the Rem Authority setting pay is good because the right has a lot more independently wealthy politicians and its hard enough to find candidates these days

casablanca was a good movie, but I think it would have been a great movie if Rick had turned to the camera and said he had the exact same politics as I do
frankly I reckon labour is in just fine so long as they can resist the urge to fight the left and/or roll their leader but at that point they really need to get housing, transport and health under control, so they'll need the juice - while having p unhelpful support parties
Putting money into pharmac can easily be bad - every marginal dollar is spent less efficiently than the last and may affect the bargaining position for each and every dollar so

Critical support for the DSA in its struggle to liberate itself from the colonial oppression of its own existence.
Update: The NPC majority has declined to attend tonight's meeting, so we are going to cancel it. We plan to invite the NPC to a private meeting and bargain our MOU. Time is of the essence, as our layoffs notice mark May 25th as the last day for seven unit members.
It is very, *very*, funny that capital L Leftist reponse to the DSA union is "you shouldn't complain because we're all a family here."
The argument made here is that staff unions in truly democratic membership orgs and workers in the public sector both confront the same kind of boss. But that assumes that elected officials in the US government have real democratic legitimacy. That's wrong.
It is extremely funny that the DSA is being torn apart from the inside by a bunch of union busting reddit mods.
A boss is an unelected dictator exploiting workers for personal gain. The NPC is an elected body of unpaid volunteers representing tens of thousands of people who actually pay DSA out of their wages for the privilege of being a member.
why does this keep happening? new houses aren't ethnic cleansing actually.
china had one day of small youth protest in late 2022, that resulted in most of the handful of students that protested being arrested and many of them have disappeared. theguardian.com/world/2023/feb…
Can we just imagine if China or Russia had snipers on roofs pointing at 19 year old protestors?
@ScootFoundation Yup mega projects have a direct fiscal cost and an indirect "bandwidth" cost.
This boils down to ego. My grandparents (a sergeant and a secretary) used to dress to the nines to make each other feel special. This guy could easily pay someone to make him great clothes, but he does this because his brand and comfort matter more than his wife or colleagues.
A really basic but important rule in life: if your partner makes the effort to dress up for an event, you should too. This is so annoying to look at.
They're social climbing upper middle class Italians so they all gave their kids wasp first names and Italian middle names
The most unrealistic thing about The Sopranos is that her name is “Meadow.” No way in hell Tony and Carmella had a baby girl in 1982 in New Jersey and didn’t name her Gianna Marie.
Shoigu and Gerasimov are likely to overextend themselves and fuck it up, but Ukraine is going to pay a steep price in blood for its delays in additional conscription and eminent domain for military fortifications.
"We have reached the point where the situation on the front is the worst since March 2022. The numerical advantage of the Russians is constantly growing, as is the number of attacks. Ukraine did not survive the darkest hour. It's just about to start."
The belief that everyone else is an NPC is a comforting lie people tell themselves that betrays a deep intellectual insecurity
@ChadNotChud @revhowardarson Even the ppl who are engaged in politics typically just choose a faction and follow its viewpoints, not b/c they're stupid or immoral but b/c they're trying to minimize excessive time and effort investment.
@ChadNotChud @revhowardarson Eh, in politics it's pretty clear most voters choose the NPC route, not b/c they're p-zombies but b/c they want to devote all their human agency to almost anything other than politics. If you utterly disengage from a topic, you're basically choosing to follow the herd on it.
@elyobo @AbsentHog I've certainly been apathetic towards the idea of starting *any* new game purely on the basis of only having like 30mins and with that little time what's the point
