I kinda think building codes should be living documents. In MA we (architects) used changes in 2018 code to make cases to building commissioners for compliance alternatives even though we were on 2015 (and ultimately skipped 2018). So, even if they aren’t adopted they can still be useful.

Its a lose-lose proposition for Democrats. If they try to regulate it to make it less of a sucker's game the suckers will resent them. It Democrats embrace it, the suckers will blame them for not protecting them when they inevitably lose most or all of their savings.

I’ve been fortunate to perform at the KC a couple of times. At the end of the day a performing arts venue is just vessel. They would like to think they are defiling the art that goes into it but it is beyond their reach and comprehension.

This would be a pretty pathetic list of achievements to run on in a general election. For a primary? Lord, have mercy. I'm a MODERATE Dem and I want to see "formed a human chain to prevent DOGE staffers from entering the Treasury" or "was arrested for Civil Disobedience" at a minimum for my vote.

When you’re kicking up to the boss you’re only as good as your last envelope. Not sure how much security this gets him in the short term - if that is really what he is after.

I guess the entire country will need to apply to “re-naturalize” their birthright citizenship and Stephen Miller can decide who has been naughty or nice. He’s going to need some help to process the paperwork and to find a country that will accept 80 million deported Americans.

Shouldn’t we be rooting for Vivek and Elon? Having them drop this turd on the next congress would be a tremendous political gift.

I think the less territory to grow part has a lot to do with not having any grounding in the humanities. We’ve created a generation of STEM man-babies.

Algorithm-induced human engagement vs. actual human engagement; maybe actual human beings can easily identify the former and prefer the latter?

I got a lot of mileage from your Twitter lists. Feel free to recreate them all!
