I’m a little curious if this helps or hurts. Collins tries to pass herself off as the most moderate of Republicans, so it could chill her usual base… but, she also is disliked by MAGA folk, so this might give them marching orders.

My guess is it’s a net negative because she’s already done her homework and knows she needs to position herself a moderate to win Maine… especially if Platner struggles with them as I think he might.

Oh that’s fucking shady. It opens with retirement but you read more and it’s basically saying you can’t tax anyone who owns anything, including things like business or stocks.

Ugh I bet it passes, props are a mistake when the population is so ill informed.

Man, the juiciness of the mayoral race almost makes up for how the governor’s race was and went. Almost.

It’s already fun pissing off electoral deniers, as we do every election since mail in became the norm.

I vaguely remember connecting a chain of those… I want to say, spiral ramps? The kind you see in parking structures sometimes? Or something like that… It was a long time ago.

First game I ever made custom tracks on… as like, a 5 year old. I was more into making tracks than racing them, which is something that hasn’t changed in the past few decades.

Any Chinese people? Because I’ve got several Chinese friends and coworkers I could name but probably wouldn’t on live TV, lol.

I bet there’s a way to literally have NPR mixed in every hour with the live broadcast version I hear on FM, maybe using their podcast link (NPR News Now). They seem to have an Apple music link, so maybe there’s a way to get it to play on the hour every time it’s updated.

I’d look into it but I don’t mind just listening to my local FM, lol. KCRW kinda already has my weird vibe of music.

It’s true, I’ll only vote for a primary candidate who brings this up with a serious plan of action.

But I’d like to go much farther left than Harris. We need systemic reform or we’ll never recover from this last (four and a half!) decade(s) of ruinous policy.

Oh yeah… I forgot about that quote because of how stupid it was…

Sure as hell ain’t my students; it’s been a steady decline since ChatGPT came out and I think I may have failed more students than ever over unfinished projects. You can’t GPT the semester long project, there’s a paper trail and data to collect can it becomes super clear who is AI brained now…

Edit: PS, grade inflation has been a thing for a few decades now, btw; the As aren’t the problem so much as the mush brain.

Honestly, I’m happy they’re going forward with it. I want to see just how bad this phone of theirs ends up being.

Now that you mention it, it wouldn’t have been a surprise if he painted it maga red just to make it look bloody and “scary” or something. You know, like Melania’s Christmas trees of old.

Third parties promise not to store your duplicate information and never use it to implant memories and desires into your subconsciousness. They promise!

Kind of still a loss if this moves Republicans more towards gerrymandering and such, plus I’m not sure what’s going to happen in Indiana if all places-- it’s literally one of the most backwards ass places.

Still nice to think about the state finally having a balanced state legislation though if it did happen, though. It gets way too overlooked in general elections, elections which are themselves generally overlooked.

Hey now, they told us Hillary Clinton had 99.9% chance to win, and sure enough she totally won. Right guys?

Right?

Only silver lining of gas going to is including these guys are paying even more to drive that ugly pos. Not worth everything else going up in price, though.

(I think that’s f250 according to the side, but a 6.7 diesel? $7.50 is the rate for diesel around here and it’s got something like 13 to 14mpg real world stats so lol.)

I hear my neighbors yell from time to time but our kids are like 2 weeks apart in age and… We get it. We don’t do it, but we totally get it. And they tell me they don’t hear me singing in a silly voice when they must certainly do, and is perhaps embarrassing on the other end of the spectrum, lol.

Then couldn’t they just ignore that state in the tally? It’s just a quick way to disenfranchise your own state.

This is clearly a load bearing spice rack.
