This comes after months of pressure from Trump's GOP got to Mike Braun and induced several politically motivated swattings and bomb threats.

The state senate GOP has indicated it lacks the votes, and several members have voiced principled opposition to the notion.

I think, ultimately, I have faced more consequences for not knowing the secret rules of class/propriety/whatever in the workplace than in school. I've very much self-selected to be an in-house compliance guy, and that always conflicts with profit motives in a conceptual sense.

That's a really interesting question. Since you know me personally, you know my schools/education weren't "typical" - the academy, an all-male college, a southern state school for JD, and a French uni for my LLM.

As I settle into my late 30s, I've really been reflecting on the impact that class had on my upbringing (and on who I was coming out of it). The pressure to be upwardly mobile for a lower-middle class white family's dreams and identity had me feeling like a Jane Austen character growing up.

I'm guessing that it will be that they TRIED to redact everything, but somewhere someone's flop sweat and incompetence will leave a major problem undestroyed.

Or something.

Blue Prince game was beautiful. I'll be recommending it to non-gamers for years to come.

I mean, this is also the easiest campaign ad in the world, right?

"They can't guarantee safety. We can do better. Let us show you."

Obviously, it's a layup so we'd miss it. But the point about their hubris stands.

Oh is he talking about how I need to go to a work camp again because I take a Sad Canceller?

I have a thinkpiece loaded up in the hopper just waiting, all centered around your Come On You Spufs tweet a month or so ago. "No True Spufsfan" or something will be the title.
