A buddy of mine in Spain is a libertarian, or at least what passes for libertarian in Spain. His cousin is too, and the cousin ran for mayor of València. Even THEY accept single-payer, single-provider medicine as the natural best standard for healthcare.
You cannot talk like this about any other minority in America.

One of my favourite sides of politics/media.
The very people they champion in Iran, the ones who’ve been protesting the religious leadership, are largely led by… the campus left of Iran.

The richest man owns X.
The second and third richest men control Google.
The fourth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.
The fifth richest man owns The Washington Post.

I included that screenshot to tell them they have it.
My wife isn’t on BSky so I can admit this: sooner or later she’s going to notice I’m not using my iPad.
Unfortunately it is sitting 5,110 miles away.
happy 14th anniversary to all who observe
No sweat.

Anyway, yes, the Council has seen many photos and we’ll no doubt be following up on it. I’m on the committee for match day experience this year, lucky me.
…get more people through in less time?”
They assured us it wouldn’t be a problem.
Well.
Seeing many complaints online about lines to get into the stadium for the Sounders game tonight.
The Club told the Alliance Council a while back about the change from opening gates 90 minutes ahead to only 60 minutes ahead.
AC asked “so you’ve done the math and will ensure you can…
Yeah, this is some AI slop for sure
“Watch this again”
I’d really rather not thanks
I don’t really know what I expect in posting this, but maybe some people see it and can learn from it.

The two-step snake was named that because after it bites you, you get a code texted to you.
