thread repinned for ease of seight

I was a half hour late to work too but mostly just because I'm terrible

I have a coworker who said her taste was messed up for well over a year.

I stayed up too late, where the 1am hour is followed by 3am. And then while I was falling asleep someone woke up crying and got in bed with us and spent the next five hours kicking me in the face and not actually sleeping.

I remember the Senate passed it "accidentally" a couple years ago which raised all the attention, but the House never voted on it. The problem is that most people agree the transition is stupid and dumb, but due to the nature of geography, Southern proponents want permanent daylight savings time and Northern proponents want permanent standard time.

To the extent that the narrative for weeks has been about his age/competency, I think he allayed concerns that he's a senile, walking corpse. Age will obviously remain an issue, but I think less so if this is the version of him that is put out there over the next several months. He spent a lot of time "reminding" moderates/independents about the contrast between him and his "predecessor", as well as congressional obstruction/hypocrisy. I think that's the campaign framing that he really wants to have and we'll probably start seeing his campaign ramp up on hitting those points. I think in the general sense it was mostly a positive moment for him, but it's likely true that most people who watch the SotU are already engaged and decided. So the real target audience will maybe absorb sound bites and headlines as it filters through the media this week, and it'll take time to see if there's any impact on his numbers if at all.

Federal representatives do not have to live in the district, though they mostly do due to the politics. At least in NY, statehouse members must live in their district. The exception of incumbents that got booted out of their district in redistricting. They get the one cycle to move back into the district.

Since the update, the birthdays are defaulted to GMT which is the default/neutral world timezone. 7pm EST is midnight GMT and when the birthdays flip over. Not sure why and couldn't figure out how to fix it at the time.

separate post to rekindle the debate, who is truly the worst naraku? @MegaNaraku @naraku360 @Naraku4656

Happy birthday @Tricolor!

not out with a bang, but with a fizzle

way to give up on a toonami dude

This is a better description of the technical aspect. The court was unanimous on the practical outcome today, but the majority went a step farther to severely limit even Congress' ability to disqualify candidates.

SCOTUS unanimously holds that states don't have the authority to disqualify federal candidates through the 14th amendment. https://www.latimes.com/politics/story/2024-03-04/supreme-court-rules-trump-stays-on-the-ballot-despite-jan-6-mob-attack-on-the-capitol

hey it beats betting it all on American Samoa

I think it's been the fairly safe choice to assume she's not running for reelection

remember, on leap day all crimes are legal for 24 hours
