Wonky about rules but cynical af.
Probably not partisan enough for most of your party, yet still a patriot of the people and outspoken for solid policy. Transparency good, shenanigans bad.

If I was a federal legislator, I’d say, ok, I’ll vote to restrict EBT from being used on products with over n grams of sugar per serving, BUT, only if we allow use on toilet paper, toothpaste, deodorant, diapers, formula, cleaning supplies, etc.

Basically actively hostile enemies are equally as dangerous to keeping opsec as are actively incompetent allies when you’re not operating in a secured system environment.

Somebody should tell these dudes that there are multiple systems specifically designed to keep one from accidentally inviting unintended audiences to secure discussions and stuff like this is literally why they exist 😅

Talked to Tim Walz as he campaigned in Wisconsin. Thought his answer to one Q I'd had for Dems - if you come back in 2028, do you rebuild everything DOGE broke? - was interesting.

So my preliminary sweep of the data suggests that, having had two mmr courses as a child, I should still retain measles coverage now. Dose makes the poison tho, so if I rubbed my face on an infected person maybe not so much.

Amongst the places I struggle with partisan splits is that the left tends to take a no questions asked, just believe people position and the right tends to take an ask way too many questions and set up ridiculous gatekeeping position.

Just got a tip from a guy at the FAA. You'll never believe who is still getting new government contracts while all the contracts at the Department of Education and USAID and other agencies are being nuked from orbit.

I’m a homeowner who lives in a place with clusters of small apartments, from back when my neighborhood was zoned for them. And I think it’s great!
When a car accident happened in the middle of the night, more renters than owners came out to call services and make sure everyone was okay.

Want to pass green legislation? How about zero taxes - B&O, land, headcount, sales, everything - for state of the art recycling centers located near railways in WA? Tax reductions for using the pellets produced by said centers?

First they came for the gas furnaces, now they’re coming for wood fireplaces, and the electric infrastructure said nothing because it got taken out in a storm/earthquake/ fire/landslide because nobody prioritized that first. The voters DID say something but they didn’t listen.
