  1. There are people that graduate from number 1 every year. Where are these people? How did the bench get so short?
  2. sounds "vast right wing conspiracy" -esque
  3. Yeah. I said to my wife that someone graduates from Yale Harvard Columbia and Stanford number 1 every year. Where are these people? How did the bench get so short?
  4. Basically. Who knows though. Maybe it is a rural versus urban thing, and that doesn't show up at the state level? Hm. Well, no it isn't that either. No matter the size of the county, if you vote democratic, you fight the pandemic. If you vote republican, you cheer for it. Of course, Republicans are probably just offsetting their refusal to get vaccines with responsible mask usage No. Wait. Mask hurt facey. Of course, it might be more correlation than causation. They aren't vaccine hesitant because they are Republican, they are Republican AND they are vaccine hesitant because they are the easily manipulated uneducated. But maybe they are right. There really isn't any evidence that having a vaccine benefits the country. You're right about not being responsible for the Spanish Flu however. The current brand of Republican is so much stupider than anyone in any party 100 years ago that your forebears didn't fight against efforts to survive.
  5. fangraphs already has him at 7 WAR. just incredible.
  6. If 16 pigs can go through a body weighing 200 pounds in 8 minutes, that means every minute the 16 are going through 25 pounds, so like a pound and half each minute for each pig. Not two pounds.
  7. The writing style on here of emphasizing your super strong denial with a second sentence of just "At all."
  8. Here is Utah offering to lend a hand on the refugee/asylum situation. It’s a surprising state. Often guided by their shared religion, often working directly against it.
  9. Kinda surprised there is some enforceable law already to fine you for fake vaccine cards.
  10. All true. All also the sort of embarrassing distraction technique I hate the right for. Almost quite literally the opposite of the “but bortion!” the right yells so they don’t have to think about their failures.
  11. So UVA full ride to Goldman Sachs to CarMax to unemployed to ranting at old folks. That ABSOLUTELY tracks.
  12. if that is the same dude, going full ride UVA to selling cars guaranteed to beat any written offer by $500 absolutely tracks the other burnouts that are loudly participating in the present right wing nonsense.
  13. US = UT. Tons of resources. But last big win getting further and further in the rearview mirror. We will be reminiscing about VY piloting the Enola Gay for the next 90 years, because there is so little to be proud of our record since.
  14. then run for senator in ohio.
  15. FYI, regarding the Cardinal, his stance is pretty outside of mainstream. Most Catholic writings says Pfizer and Moderna are perfectly fine because there was no aborted tissue used in their creation. J&J doesn't pass that test, but then with J&J, it is still say it is a weighing issue and you should take the "least bad" path based on your morality: either utilizing 'illicit' material or risking hurting the vulnerable around you.
  16. Yeah, they haven’t done a great job of setting up any sort of tension this season. Last season I think a big key to it was put a sincere and decent person into this cynical environment. But he “won” and everyone else around him is sincere and decent now. Hard to recapture that feeling of him persevering
  17. On the 28th?
  18. Red Texas right now.
  19. MI7 starring kittridge.
  20. Do you think it’s any more complicated than what is suggested in that tweet up above? It says there they can make every district that is currently Republican an R +10 and also capture the two new districts so long as they dump all of Austin‘s votes into one district.
  21. Yeah. I’m from Cooke county. It looks like it’s saying it has grown though.
  22. The system is built with some fundamental assumptions. One is that the elected will be incentivized to promote the interests of those they represent. that has largely been replaced by two things: the nationalization of every issue such that there is no such thing as a local interest anymore and the politics of resentment when making others suffer is more important than your constituents succeed.
  23. gerrymander is high art. that guy that died and had his daughter spill the beans made that clear. they enter all the demographics into a computer and it pops out 1000 different gerrymanders that the politicians pick from, balancing between extreme 100% congressional win to something more politically feasible. They just go with the one they think is the most gerrymandered that they can get away with.
