I appreciate that, but I also want to avoid tribalism in relation to politics whenever I can. It’s not about teams or colours in my eyes.

Running a country the same way he ran his casinos.

It was actually so nice. I walked into work and nobody was talking politics because it didn’t feel like the world was ending.

For any conservatives, I’m sorry. I work and am highly involved with vulnerable people, and I vote to protect them as best I can. A vote for PP would not have been a vote to protect the most vulnerable I know, which in my eyes is what a society is meant to do.

My condolences. I hope you get the rest you need, too.

Fun fact: the Coca Cola Freestyle machine is designed by the Pininfarina company, of the same Pininfarina legacy of classic Italian car design fame.

They gave each of the creators of Skyblivion a free key for the deluxe version. Last I heard they were being friendly

The Eurovision 2025 playlist is out! It’s a good time listening ahead of the Eurovision Song Contest, then you get to root for the song you like best. If you’ve never got into it, it’s a good time to give it a listen.

So there’s that, but also the position of “special counsel” or whatever dumb title he holds is time limited. You can’t be an unelected government official indefinitely (although I’m sure the current administration would change the rules if they cared enough to keep him). He’s making it sound like he’s bowing out, when it was the plan to step down in May from the beginning.

It’s Rocky Horror Picture Show for kids.

As though he cares to look.

If a group of parents coordinated wearing “All Lives Matter (but Black Lives Matter Less)” wristbands to protest inclusion of a black athlete, sure.

I don’t know if it’s the circles I’m around or what, but this is not my experience at all. As someone with a nonverbal autistic loved one who was bullied with this slur, I disagree with the idea that it doesn’t cause harm to continue to use it. If someone uses it I ask that they don’t use it around me and that’s been respected. Language evolves over time, and we need to evolve away from using what was relatively recently a medical diagnosis as an insult.

It’s because he needs the childcare for his girlfriend. She’s not old enough to be home alone.

A measured response. Personally, I think that a lot of pubs are going to pivot that direction- Gen Z aren’t big drinkers, and if the trend continues they’ll need other sources of revenue than alcohol.

It sounds that we are on the same page, in that it should not be difficult to vote. Logically it follows that introducing barriers to voting is wrong.

As for the financial piece- all I will say is that circumstances change. $50 dollars may not be much to you (or it may not have been much at the time of the initial name change), but it could mean the choice is between being able to vote or being able to eat.

Friend, I don’t think anyone is arguing that it’s impossible. The problem is that there’s an additional burden (financial and administrative- have you ever changed your name? It’s a nightmare.) being targeted at mainly women with a side benefit to the Republicans of affecting trans folks.

Do you see how that is inequitable access to voting?

How do you feel about gastropubs?

So disappointed that Verstappen wound up ahead of Gasly. What an amazing quiet race he had.

Thank you!
