A Google search resume for "jason willick", whose first result is his bio from the Washington Post, for some reason accompanied by a picture of brent kavanaugh looking like a schmuck

idk, my baseline assumption is that any politician who got to a governor's mansion wants to be president. his March interview with David Remnick certainly didn't dissuade me from that view

www.newyorker.com/podcast/the-...
But what role might he play in the next election cycle? “Look, I never had an ambition to be President or Vice-President. I was honored to be asked,” he said. “If I feel like I can serve, I will. And if nationally, people are, like, ‘Dude, we tried you, and look how that worked out,’ I’m good with that.” After circling the question for a bit, I said, “I guess what I’m asking you is: Would you run for President?” “Well, I had a friend tell me, ‘Never turn down a job you haven’t been offered,’ ” Walz said. “If I think I could offer something . . . I would certainly consider that. I’m also, though, not arrogant enough to believe there’s a lot of people that can do this.” If the circumstances are right, in 2028, and he has the right “skill set” for the moment, Walz said, “I’ll do it.” “You might do it?” I asked. “I’ll do whatever it takes. I certainly wouldn’t be arrogant enough to think that it needs to be me,” he said. “I’ve always said this: I didn’t prepare my life to be in these jobs, but my life prepared me well. And, if this experience I’ve had and what we’re going through right now prepares me for that, then I would. But I worry about people who have ambition for elected office. I don’t think you should have ambition. I think you should have a desire to do it if you’re asked to serve. And that’s kind of where I’m at.”

TBogg deserves mention here i think
If you're too pissed at The Man and his Mens and Womens to vote, TBogg has a little story for you: Every year in Happy Gumdrop Fairy-Tale Land all of the sprites and elves and woodland creatures gather together to pick the Rainbow Sunshine Queen. Everyone is there: the Lollipop Guild, the Star-Twinkle Toddlers, the Sparkly Unicorns, the Cookie Baking Apple-cheeked Grandmothers, the Fluffy Bunny Bund, the Rumbly-Tumbly Pupperoos, the Snowflake Princesses, the Baby Duckies All-In-A-Row, the Laughing Babies, and the Dykes on Bikes. They have a big picnic with cupcakes and gumdrops and pudding pops, stopping only to cast their votes by throwing Magic Wishing Rocks into the Well of Laughter, Comity, and Good Intentions. Afterward they spend the rest of the night dancing and singing and waving glow sticks until dawn when they tumble sleepy-eyed into beds made of the purest and whitest goose down where they dream of angels and clouds of spun sugar. You don’t live there. Grow the fuck up.

this from the Brennan Center makes me think that it is basically unenforceable www.brennancenter.org/media/13317/...

turns out democracy protection in this country is like when i try to enforce rules with other peoples' kids at preschool. I tell them not to do something, they ignore me, the end
The Enforcement Problem Finally, the Posse Comitatus Act lacks sufficient mechanisms to enforce its prohibition. Although it is a criminal statute, no one has ever been convicted of violating it, despite evidence of occasional violations. The only two prosecutions that have ever occurred under the law arose out of a single incident that took place in 1879, just a year after the law was enacted.107 Particularly when soldiers are acting at the direction of their commander rather than engaging in rogue behavior, the chances that they would be prosecuted for participating in a mission that unlawfully involves law enforcement activities are essentially zero. Enforcement of the Posse Comitatus Act thus depends principally on the Department of Defense’s commitment to complying with its strictures. That commitment has historically been strong.108 But it would be shortsighted to assume that this pattern of restraint obviates the need for concrete legal safeguards.

did not see that coming
Wikipedia screenshot: On April 1, 1994, a severe dispute within the management team led to the ousting of the on-site management by federal marshals serving a restraining order, and financier Ed Bass hired Steve Bannon, then-manager of the Bannon & Co. investment banking team from Beverly Hills, California, to run Space Biospheres Ventures.

from a dim sum place in nyc
A bathroom sign that says "Notice please use correctly", followed by 4 images of a figure peeing (as represented by a dashed line) The first has a checkmark with someone standing and peeing in a normal way (for one who stands to pee) the remaining 3 all have a cancel sign: * peeing with the lid closed, with the line bouncing off * someone lifting a leg like a dog, with the line bouncing off * someone with their back to the toilet, with the line going up, over their head, and down to the toilet

14-15 warriors breakout team was pretty easy to root for. Steph still looked like a child and he completely broke the league

also for one game only the '07 giants against the undefeated pats felt like something we can all agree on

(these are both 100% my bias showing)
