Sure, but confirming Mullin gets him out of the Senate into a job he’ll likely be fired from in under a year so…
Or Tuvix.
Sam Panopoulos. Say his name.

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

My understanding is that it was the worst-selling edition of D&D. I'm not sure how this is a misconception?
Oh no. What a blow. How will we recover.
And right before that they say “W stands for We”. We would be a better name!
The only scenario where I can see it mattering is if the optics of the situation swing some votes—people not wanting to impeach but willing to vote for removal given a different rationale. But generally yes, it takes less effort to impeach.
Other than Trump saying so, is there any evidence that Venezuela is under US control right now? Everybody on here seems to be taking his word for it but nothing in today’s events suggests that is the case.
I’ve seen nothing to suggest that they have any control over what happens next other than Trump’s say-so. There aren’t US troops on the ground in Venezuela! They did a special ops raid and kidnapped the President. Trump saying he’s in charge doesn’t mean anything.
“They make a desert and call it peace”.
A life expectancy vs. Health care expenditure chart showing that the US spends far more on healthcare than every other country while getting mediocre results.
It would be cheaper. US government spending on healthcare is on par with other countries’ total spend. You wouldn’t even need to raise taxes that much!
A spicy thought: There are a multitude of reasons that running a country like a company is a lousy idea but one of the most paramount is that in the post Jack Welch era, most of the people who run companies are absolutely terrible at running companies.
“Worthwhile Canadian initiative”?
If you VPN into Canada you can watch the 60 Minutes CECOT story here (for now). Global TV appears to have posted the original tape by accident watch.globaltv.com/series/2893d...
Nothing and everything. Nothing that would probably be a surprise to people who are paying attention, but everything in that seeing it in the files will cause people who are currently writing it off to pay attention.
Another poison pill buried in Mark Carney’s budget: a repeal of a reduced postage rates for books and shipments between libraries.
Libraries across the country are sounding the alarm for what it would mean for the viability of another essential public institution.
My “my daughter randomly decided not to invite me to her wedding” T-shirt is raising questions already answered by my T-shirt territory for sure.
I was all set to be “ah I see the scolds of Bluesky are at it again” and then I watch this abomination.
The Trump Administration should be using Gill Sans. IYKYK.
It’s my book’s half-birthday today! To celebrate, I’d like to mail one of you a free signed copy.

I bought a Mac so I could use Vellum. If you create ebooks, it will relieve your life of HUGE amounts of stress. If it’s on sale today, and you’ve got the cash and the inclination, GO GET IT. 😄
Which is, actually, weird. The rallies were obviously very important to him from a narcissistic perspective. It's a big shift for him to abandon them.
We have an immediate need for an RPG proofreader. This is a paid gig, proofing just over 11,000 words. Experience is preferred.

It's not a thing in Canada, though.
According to Olivia, when Izzy left the session, Izzy was hung up on something she believed Trump might have said about Butler, Pennsylvania—something explosive that, if she were correct, would shatter our understanding of recent history.
This.
Same for my daughter (now 16). The placenta detached during labour and they had to extract her quickly.
