Along with a war chest that far exceeded Scott’s and a crowded field of newcomers, Clark’s campaign benefited from Scott’s death on 22 April at the age of 80.

We really need to normalize politicians retiring. They shouldn’t all stay in power until they literally die of old age.

Why does Holland sound like he’s from Liverpool? 🤔

I’m so sorry. It must be terrifying knowing how many of your fellow drivers are zipping around with worn brake pads or broken turn signals. 😬

Presumably your car has an annual safety inspection. The inspection could include writing down your milage, right? I’m pretty sure there are already laws against tampering with your odometer…

I keep thinking making a magic mirror would be such a project…

Well… without Mitchell McConnell ignoring the Constitution to get two extra appointees for Trump 1, we might be at a 4-5 decision the other way…

I think the reasoning is that since black people vote like 80% Democrat, drawing maps to ensure no black people get elected is fine. There are no federal laws against purely partisan gerrymandering, after all.

And honestly with this Supreme Court, even if the state legislatures involved said very loudly “we changed the voting districts for the express purpose of limiting black representation” they would find some convoluted way of allowing it.

I don’t think this is true. I think that Europe is trying to separate its interests from the USA as quickly as it can without causing pain for European countries or inviting retaliation from the US.

“Internal combustion engine vehicles also lose range in extreme cold weather,” points out Ed Kim, the chief analyst with the research group AutoPacific, who was not involved in AAA’s research. The Environmental Protection Agency has estimated a 10% to 30% drop in gas vehicle fuel economy in cold weather, depending on the type of trip. “This isn’t a problem that’s exclusive to EVs. This happens to basically any kind of vehicle when it gets really cold.”

I looked at the technology used by the EU age verification.

You prove your age to the app by scanning the NFC in your passport. No government servers exist.

When a site requests your age, you return only a “yes I’m older than 18”, proven by your passport. Not your age, just that you’re older.

I think it preserves privacy pretty well.

I don’t think that it will protect children, but I do think that it preserves privacy.

Thomas has been a weird and terrible person for decades, long before MAGA.

He was one of the main pushers of Citizens United, for example. He really believes that wealth should provide more political influence.

Okay I’ll bite.
