City of Cleveland rocks! Looks like the permit was filed on May 5th. On May 14th the city announced it was denied! My opinion? All other states & cities, who worked so hard to stop the centers, inspired the CLE to just say "nope". Yay Cleveland! www.wkyc.com/article/news...

Converting to Catholicism so I can tell my bosses using unregulated AI is against my religion and I will sue them like that cake lady who hated gay people if they make me use it

This doesn't sound good. 180 megawatts is enough power 180,000 homes. Albany's entire population is roughly 100,000 people. www.timesunion.com/business/art...

We need proportional representation. It would make gerrymandering impossible, restore the voting power of communities of colors, and could fix many other problems by breaking the two-party system’s death spiral. If Dems win full power in 2028, they could enact it for House elections by statute

Totally agree.

Let's find out, shall we?

Minnesota has just become the first state to ban prediction markets. Gov. Tim Walz has signed a bill that makes operating or advertising prediction markets a felony. This sets a major precedent for those seeking to regulate or ban Polymarket, Kalshi, and other sites.

HAHAHAHAHAHA. I love this for Trump.

I really can't stand John Schriffen. I really, really, really hope he is gone after this year.

"As they rushed into his apartment...he felt the jaws of a large dog biting into his ankle, knocking him to the floor. He screamed as the dog tore the flesh from his thighs, hip and wrist. Down the hall, agents took a mother and her 16-yr-old son at gunpoint..." www.propublica.org/article/chic...

During a break in the action White Sox and Cubs fans find something to agree on as they all chant "Green Bay Sucks!" Truer words were never chanted.

At 22-21, the Chicago White Sox are above .500 for the first time since 2022. They are one of only five teams in the American League with a winning record. Who are these guys???

Elections for local utility *and* statewide utility regulators (like public service commissions) are, quite justifiably, the new hotness. With soaring electricity costs and tremendous anger over data centers, these races are growing more and more important—and offer a huge opportunity for reformers.

South Carolina Republicans will proceed with passing a new congressional gerrymander despite it seeming to fail on Tuesday. Their proposed map below (right) would eliminate the only Black Dem to elect a 7-0 (white) Republican majority. Interactive map+data davesredistricting.org/join/c701dd1...

This is depressing. But he is right that the solution is proportional representation and a multi-party democracy. 33 competitive House seats out of 435 is unacceptable. www.gelliottmorris.com/p/2026-05-12...

some wisdom from james wilson, framer. "The truth is that, in our governments, the supreme, absolute, and uncontrollable power remains in the people."

Zelensky issued an official presidential decree authorizing Russia to hold its Victory Day parade in Moscow tomorrow. He included the exact coordinates of Red Square. That's it. A+ trolling.

this is the closest I've ever come to actually suggesting a "one neat trick" suggestion for anything, but I'm so serious here. the Virginia Constitution gives the legislature the power to set retirement ages for judges "REGARDLESS OF THE TERM TO WHICH ELECTED OR APPOINTED." make it 54 right now.

There isn't an ounce of integrity or honor with any of these people. None.
