this would mean half of registered california voters voted in an odd year special election with a single arcane proposition on the ballot

it is religiously permissable for me to use an llm for generating boilerplate code but it is not religiously permissable for me to ask it about events because that would be doing divination

just want to reiterate that the first amendment isn't something you "hide behind," it's something that constrains the government's ability to limit your inalienable rights. that distinction is very important

turns out the post-protest gotv and organizing tents may have had an impact

Your periodic reminder that I’m available for hire for camera operator, audio engineer, and gaffer work anywhere in the PNW

imagine being so invested that you, a person who lives in not-new york, are upset about the new york mayoral election

the stickers are a really good bonus

he ran for mayor of nyc, not president lmao

Curtis Sliwa is a crazy reactionary but at least he believes in multi-ethnic, multi-racial democracy, and I wouldn't want on my record that I didn't congratulate the first Muslim mayor of NYC but fucking Curtis Sliwa did

Oh you should *expect* to be disappointed. NYC Mayor is a fucking terrible job. You get to do like 1, maybe 2, cool things that are minor, and then you can never get any higher office. But yeah on top of that, Zohran might end up a Left JFK (overly praised & beloved figure, mostly forgotten policy)

"doomed" is a funny way to think about it because that implies everything is already woven by the fates, instead of people having agency

infinimander exists but it's actually just a very long salamander

Feels a little weird to “dox” myself and tell folks precisely where I’m gonna be but I guess if I’m gonna be “performing” I may as well market it. I’ll be story telling in public for the first time November 13 in Foxboro. mrpac.art/foxtales

it didn't help that nobody has done up with a smartgun design that is simultaneously reliable enough for the situations one might need a gun and also cannot be defeated by a magnet

The fact that Mark Kelly is in the list of people who are working to try and re-open things is interesting to me, given his interviews where he specifically calls out "how can we fund anything when we know they won't spend it?" I'd be cautious freaking out about a deal until we know what it is.
