So then I said, "Yes, Chicago is a great city for shopping, but, I'm sorry, I can't help you get a visa." Jon Corbly. Eastern North Carolina, the flat part, pretty close to sea level.

Last Notes npub1zvre0wdjm73j6tn6axfx0umr2f5kxlu2jjl0763xp4wur7cq8g5s9eaxvr Corb_The_Lesser A few states do call special elections. Most authorize the state governor to appoint an interim with a replacement selected in the next election. Sometimes that's the next scheduled Senate election, sometimes just the next election. It's something of an impact of a nonparliamentary system with an elected upper house whose members are Constitutionally intended to represent states, not people. npub1zvre0wdjm73j6tn6axfx0umr2f5kxlu2jjl0763xp4wur7cq8g5s9eaxvr Corb_The_Lesser Call it RFKJr's Junkie Diet. npub1zvre0wdjm73j6tn6axfx0umr2f5kxlu2jjl0763xp4wur7cq8g5s9eaxvr Corb_The_Lesser Republicans may think warm glowing thoughts about grandma leaving the nursing home to live with her 55-year-old children in their lovely little gated community, gathering for Bible readings and such. The reality is that grandma has dementia, doesn't recognize her kids, can't bathe or use the bathroom by herself, and needs someone personally administering a boatload of pills three times a day. Meanwhile, grandpa is on a ventilator. So good luck with that, Republicans., npub1zvre0wdjm73j6tn6axfx0umr2f5kxlu2jjl0763xp4wur7cq8g5s9eaxvr Corb_The_Lesser After a year or so of #Trump and #RFKJr, editors are going to be assigning stories about boom times in the cemetery, gravestone, and funeral industries. npub1zvre0wdjm73j6tn6axfx0umr2f5kxlu2jjl0763xp4wur7cq8g5s9eaxvr Corb_The_Lesser Those "ultra-wealthy tax cheats" have the GOP on retainer. npub1zvre0wdjm73j6tn6axfx0umr2f5kxlu2jjl0763xp4wur7cq8g5s9eaxvr Corb_The_Lesser Quite a trick for #Netanyahu to turn #Gaza into rubble and mass graves and then walk away after the criminal president signs up for some ethnic cleansing and grave desecration. npub1zvre0wdjm73j6tn6axfx0umr2f5kxlu2jjl0763xp4wur7cq8g5s9eaxvr Corb_The_Lesser Sad so many Elon cult boys think we can escape ourselves by moving to a different planet. Checking out the stories of utopian communities sprinkled throughout US history is a good antidote to overenthusiasms about creating utopia on Mars, or anywhere. npub1zvre0wdjm73j6tn6axfx0umr2f5kxlu2jjl0763xp4wur7cq8g5s9eaxvr Corb_The_Lesser The fact that Trump always talks about "ending" the war in Ukraine and never talks about the West's obligation to roll back the Russian invasion of Ukraine tells us everything about his pro-Putin stance. Seeking Orban's advice confirms the point. The #Ukraine war has a cause: Russian aggression. It has an instigator: Putin. Trump doesn't want to end the war. Trump wants to hand victory and Ukraine to Putin, a capitulation to evil he intends to cloak in the garb of peacemaking. npub1zvre0wdjm73j6tn6axfx0umr2f5kxlu2jjl0763xp4wur7cq8g5s9eaxvr Corb_The_Lesser "Trump's ally" is synonymous with "Putin's ally". npub1zvre0wdjm73j6tn6axfx0umr2f5kxlu2jjl0763xp4wur7cq8g5s9eaxvr Corb_The_Lesser Lasagna here, one batch veggie and one not, and bourbon chocolate pecan pie. npub1zvre0wdjm73j6tn6axfx0umr2f5kxlu2jjl0763xp4wur7cq8g5s9eaxvr Corb_The_Lesser No need to look around for reasons here. Everything we know about Musk tells us he is convinced he is a genetically superior human loyal only to himself and his wealth. npub1zvre0wdjm73j6tn6axfx0umr2f5kxlu2jjl0763xp4wur7cq8g5s9eaxvr Corb_The_Lesser Software makes a noise. Someone in marketing says it's a product of intelligence, just like trash search results. What a waste of electricity. npub1zvre0wdjm73j6tn6axfx0umr2f5kxlu2jjl0763xp4wur7cq8g5s9eaxvr Corb_The_Lesser I console myself with the thought that a lot of these Trump nominees are likely as lazy as they are awful. They won't be putting in 60-70 hour weeks running departments. npub1zvre0wdjm73j6tn6axfx0umr2f5kxlu2jjl0763xp4wur7cq8g5s9eaxvr Corb_The_Lesser Fine to say to developers. Rude to say to someone you know is not a developer because it tells them open source is a developer-only place.
