People probably mistakenly assumed the law was in good faith and would do something like ban hanging crosses around the classroom, not ban covering up part of your body. Calling head coverings “religious symbols” is flatly dishonest. Next up anybody who doesn’t eat bacon at every meal will be fired for forcing their religion on others.
I feel like there may be a subtle statistical error in judging the overall will of “Democratic voters” based on rough observations of attendees of a Mamdani rally.
What I’m not seeing is any explanation for why the DNC … is accepting help
Cuomo is running as an independent. He is running against the DNC.
Those “richest people” lists are based on publicly known wealth, which is almost exclusively public stocks. There is a lot of dark money out there.
Ah. They would never do anything good because they’re evil, and they’re evil because they would never do anything good. Logic so airtight not even the tiniest fact can penetrate.
2,300 different charities according to her website. You can see the whole list here: https://yieldgiving.com/gifts/
Well MacKenzie Scott has given away $17 billion of her ~$60 billion over 5 years, so she’s not terrible.
None of these are pardons; they are commutations
Yeah, such a shameful lack of bigots’ POV.
This would also have to pass the House, which it would not. I agree with Bernie’s statement and respect his choice to put the resolution forth on principle. I do not respect the article author or commentors who are either ignorant of basic U.S. civics, or choosing to be deliberately deceptive in order to place blame solely on Democrats.
An article about how we all need to come together opens with a salvo against all of their allies. Beyond parody
Surprised not to see any posts referencing the Arbitrary List of Popular Lights or [email protected].
One of the requirements to make it on the list is:
A user interface where a single click turns the light on in a reasonable mode, and another single click turns it off.
That assumes “you” are just the conscious part. If you accept the rest of your brain (and body) as part of “you”, then it’s a less dramatic divide.
Based on what I know of Imposter Syndrome and the Dunning-Kruger effect, it seems you’re at your most competent when you feel like you’re at your least.
I’m not sure how you come to that conclusion, even with the internet meme version of the Dunning-Kruger effect. In the meme version, the incompetent think they are most competent, but I don’t think it follows that the most competent would think they are least competent.
I would summarize the actual Dunning-Kruger effect as: people tend to think they are a bit above average, and actual skill factors in only slightly. Worth emphasizing that these results are over groups of people, and individuals have extreme variation.

That’s like 30 people in line. It takes half a block and a lane of the stroad to fit 30 people.

Definite agree with the core of what you’re saying, though for US and EU (and to a lesser degree “High income countries”), the numbers are quite close, as clean grid energy is significantly outpacing electric vehicle adoption (and EVs rely on a clean grid to be clean).
I’m not sure where you got the idea they “acknowledged” this as their reason. It’s a wholly unsupported theory based on nothing but some random opinion in the NYT (although I do love the notion that this opinion somehow “got lost amid the excitement” as opposed to simply being uninteresting).
It doesn’t even make sense. You don’t need an opposition filibuster unless the majority of the party is “fringe” (straining the meaning of fringe). There are plenty of other ways to bury a bill or – worst case – excuse a couple defectors.
