The only affiliation KEXP has is with the University of Washington.

Listener support doesn’t mean they are NPR. Hate to nitpick most of the time but NPR can get bent for their corporate shilling.

The tech sector is responsible for the huge influx of people moving to the state, Seattle specifically. Our infrastructure was not able to handle that influx and is only now catching up, 2 decades later.

Tech came here because of our archaic tax laws that prevented an income tax from going through, I have zero empathy that this solution impacts them disproportionately.

“On this issue, I think tech will vote No,” Boyapati said. “It’s a question of ‘Do I pay the extra tax or move elsewhere?’”

Fucking leave already if you have no interest in contributing.

That’s how those furries get those costumes!

This stuff is great. Not a vegetarian but I eat plenty of protein alternatives because of family. Un-Meat Plant Based Luncheon Meat Style (you have to say the whole thing) is actually preferable to spam.

“You’re not doing enough, so here’s another 10 billion in arms funding. You have to spend that in America though because I am very upset with you Bibi.”

Looks like the 8th dwarf. Happy, Doc, Grumpy, Dopey, Bashful, Sleepy, Sneezy and Family.

Not weird. Totally normal behavior.

That’s just little boys though, you can kindly redirect. My boy is 9 and he can talk forever about Pokémon, Minecraft or whatever he is fixated on today. Sometimes I just have to tell him I’m done now, sometimes I have to say it a few times but that’s ya know, parenting.

You didn’t drop him on the side of the road, but it was an idea to help you get through it.

The relatively low-budget feel of the database and the training academy has prompted some of the project’s partners to wonder what, exactly, Dans and his team have done with the $22 million that the Heritage Foundation initially pledged toward Project 2025. When I asked Dans how the budget had been used, he reached for one of his folksy aphorisms.

“I remember this Old Milwaukee [beer] ad from the ’80s … and there was the one guy who was in charge of the beer fund, and [he and his friends] were all happy and they’re drinking ‘Old Mill,’ and [one of them] said, ‘Well, what did you do with all the monies that you were putting into the beer fund?’ And then you see the guy behind them with a big yacht.”

“We’re drinking ‘Old Mill’ here,” he added.

So not all of the $22 million that had been earmarked for the project had actually been allocated to it? I asked.

Dans nodded. “We’re much more [low] budget over here than what people [operating] in the caverns of the liberal mind would like to believe.”

“I got my yatch!”

I mean in the case of Trump it’s not actually far fetched. He is a useful idiot to the people with an agenda. Not to cut him any slack, just pointing out that he is a buffoon chasing approval, he thought he would get it for P2025 but now that there is blowback he’s legitimately like “I didn’t read it, I don’t read anything.”

I hate it. Get money out of politics.

You realize criticism of the Democrats is exactly how we push them to change though right? Whatever stupid shit Trump or Republicans do does not absolve Biden or Democrats of criticism.

There was plenty of commentary about Trump but it was drowned out because Biden’s poor performance was different and new making it the trending and newsworthy story.

the media made him lose the debate, not his performance against someone who did worse.

I think you are missing how others are critical of Biden’s performance. This debate and election season was a repeat, absolutely nothing new. It was never going to move huge swaths from one side to the other.

Biden lost to himself, not to Trump. That doesn’t mean Trump’s performance was good. That absolutely was the biggest story coming out of the debate as that was something different from this rerun of an election.

Do you see that as a good thing?

Do you think scripted interviews inspire confidence in voters when the current concern is his ability to think on his feet?
