It’s so strange. Some of what people freely post on X now would’ve gotten them banned on even the most white male dominated forums 10 or 20 years ago. Sports forums, car forums, etc…

I've had a lot of small things I've wanted to do in my job that I couldn't justify the time or money needed to make them happen, and I've been able to do some of it now. It does help.
For troubleshooting and IT admin work, it beats trawling through Microsoft's god awful support site by a mile.

It's good for work that involves something you don't need, want, or have time to learn - coding, spreadsheets, powerpoints, troubleshooting, etc. Drudgery basically.
It's bad for creative work, harmful to creative people, and we desperately need laws to deal with that.

Both are owned by Lee Enterprises. Between them and Gannett it's hard to be optimistic about newspapers.
*On that note, decided to finally set up an annual donation to Mirror Indy

I might have picked it up again later, but I'm incredibly soured on it having been called 8 times since cancelling a week ago. They never once left a voicemail. Finally blocked them yesterday and 3 hours later received a call from "Sioux City Journal", apparently owned by the same company.

Ok it does say development group once.

Though it’s odd they don’t bother to clarify what Keystone is. You can infer, but it makes it even more vague than it should be.

Relevant clip from The Steel Helmet, which I'd like to go watch from the start sometime. Korean soldier challenging an Japanese American soldier on fighting for America.

I've never understood it. If the positions are ever reversed, lefty candidates better do the exact same thing.

Which Dems are trying to placate online posters and how so?

This aside, the fatal flaw of these people is they want to bring policy to a gunfight, and they have no fighters. All their favorite political agents are at best faint-hearted onlookers who run at the sight of blood.

We have a Dem supermajority on our council and it’s like pulling teeth to get them to respond to pedestrian/cyclist/transit issues. A real response to concrete bollards for bike lane protection was that they might damage cars.
Once in while they come through, but it’s well short of what’s needed

Still lost. Good faith about what?
Anyway, what I’m saying is most Dems barely talk about and certainly don’t push public transit, density, pedestrian and cycling infrastructure, etc… Their ceiling is generally individual EV drivers.

Not sure what you’re saying here/what I’ve been duped into.

Yeah, I mean the electric part is fine. It’s more the emphasis/tunnel vision on individual car drivers at the expense of pretty much anything else.

As an EV owner, the extent to which Dems look at EVs as a massively impactful climate solution is aggravating

5000 who actually get the stuff. Plus a few hundred or thousand more who get nothing but disappointment. Sounds good.

We’re a little late as always but what should and should have happened is capping them hard at 20mph. Mine is supposedly capped but it takes a couple button pushes to disable. I obey trail speeds but ride faster on the road because it’s possible. But I’d also live without it.

All the generally (and often for me infuriatingly) apolitical space people I used to follow on Twitter thought Issacman was a great choice.
