How fitting that the creator of the daily show is a progressive white woman, and in candid interviews, she is all about how gross the other political tribe is. It would be literally impossible to get along with a person like that, unless your disgust reactions (by definition irrational, if maybe tied to something primal and useful evolutionarily) aligned with hers. And she's proud of that. If your disgust reactions don't align with hers, she wants nothing to do with you. This is the normative progressive white female mindset. So much rage at "others", underlying it. Rage that the world isn't psychologically the same as you. The only test these people are even capable of passing, is to not be grossed out by black skin. They will never get over how impressed they are with themselves over that one.

@Mik said in Vox status: Vox started out left leaning, but not tipped over. It was worth reading. Now it's just one step removed from Daily Kos. Trump sent them over the edge. And its founder Ezra Klein now works as a full time public intellectual for the NYT.

@Axtremus said in Why transit projects are expensive in the US: As much fun as it is to blaming your favorite boogeymen, there is something to be said about the quality of American construction. Boogeyman? Pick up a shovel and take a job where you actually have to lift things and move things for a living and come back to me after that. I just had to write a check to a union in Maryland to NOT touch or move instruments that they are not trained to transport. This Union also covers those drivers and workers delivering gravel, sand, etc… to MDOT projects. So excuse me when I tell you to shut up.

I'm sorry, but the Founders knew the country could not function without a literate populance...

No, but it's a queer situation.

@Mik said in Dog joy: @89th said in Dog joy: Our 4 and 2 year old still do that. Balloons...cheapest entertainment evah You’ll take them to wonderful museums and parks and they’ll just want to chase the birds. It's if they come back with a squirrel in their mouth that he'll have to start worrying

@Horace said in Size Matters. Three inches bigger is a lot.: You mean it “begs” another question. Actually in this context, it "bags" the question?

So good.

Interesting indeed. In case anyone is wondering why they would sue the hospital system (likely hovering close to insolvency) rather than Meta (which prints money), it’s not by choice but by necessity- Meta is not subject to HIPPA rules. Only the hospital is.

My moms birthday is 2/13 and my wife’s birthday is 2/15. I’m in the trenches right now

Remind me not to play poker with you.
