Working on a master's project in UNC-CH's planning department. I'm using network analysis to study policing, and my main data is from investigative stops in Chicago. Hopefully doing a PhD next.

I found the episode I was thinking of:
They get into the shadow periods at the 3:26:08 mark

But, more to the point, the way I think about it is Venus is still behaving and influencing in her direct style until the station, but the events we're living through now are more likely to resurface when Venus crosses back over while retrograde

Chris Brennan gives a shout out to the astrologer who developed the idea in one of his retrograde episodes from last year. I'm fuzzy on exactly when, and I also unfortunately can't remember her name. It was within the past few decades I think.

The reality is that those views are definitionally reactionary and conservative.
Centrists evaluate positions based on their relative distance to what they perceive as the extremes, and then reactively dismiss anything that falls outside of or too close to their imagined Overton window.
comment in response to
post
The mythology of the center is that it comprises folks with tempered, positivist views who
weigh positions from all sides and then adopt the ones that are empirically sound and fit with their worldviews.

The almost dyed to match socks are doing their damnedest to hide the fact that those pants are a foot too short, and yet ... they come up an inch short.

This is the kind of anodyne statement that in a vacuum would be impossible to critique.
But, it falls so far short of the present moment. We can do better than this.

And then have a third character in the second frame because it's not believable for the magaman to admit/realize the irony

This is funny, but would be funnier if he specified illegal in the first frame

I agree with your sentiment. I just wanted to add some context because the OP's summary is mostly wrong.
The big market cap drop occurred last November 19, and stemmed from allegations of SEC violations during COVID. There was a big ruling that went public right before the stock price plummeted.

He actually dodged the question. It seems like he doesn't see it as a problem, but I was posing my question rhetorically. Thanks for chiming in.

1.
No. I understood his point exactly. The fact that he thinks it's germane is the problem.
2.
Sustained popular protest is our job. It's Raskin's job to fight (in Congress, in public, in the news.)
3.
Raskin would be an improvement over Jeffries. That's not good enough.

Politico: Should Democrats vote against government funding if Republicans try to codify the DOGE cuts?
Raskin: First of all, I don’t know what a DOGE cut is. The spending power of America is embodied in Article 1. Congress has power of spending, right?

Raskin's not up to the job either.

A good chunk of the public does support the younger, dynamic leaders or support progressive policies without being spoonfed the political valance.
It's that the donor class is afraid to replace the radical centrist gerontocracy, and the leaders have the support of party insiders.

That's exactly in my interest set. Thanks for the link

Good point. It might be safer to wear a different color than black. Not that I'm a pacifist, but the whole imagined controversy of antifa etc etc might be problematic
comment in response to

It would be uncanny to have 100,000 people marching or gathering on the mall but absolutely silent.
Maybe silencing ourselves is disempowering, but I think that it'd call out the efforts to silence dissent. Everybody could wear all black.
Idk. I'm spit balling.

Exactly! What a farce. It sounds like those 6 are only part of a small group with other members. An infographic with data on everybody in the small group seems like the least the NYT should've done.

Maybe not, it would require some tight rope walking at first though. I just think why bother if there are other options with less baggage

With the caveat that Al Franken would be great, but he's still saddled by the Me Too allegations

I think those would all be bad choices. We need someone with vision. Someone who has a concrete alternative to Democrat's centrist pandering and who's fiery enough to make good sound bites.

For me, when I was a TA last semester I was brand new and I was creating content on the fly for the labs I taught, partially in response to the professor's lectures. Which meant things did come out piecemeal. So there are circumstances where I can understand a slow roll out

They can even import complete course sites from other professors who taught the course in the past, if they have permission.
comment in response to
post
At my school, not only do they have access beforehand, they can actually carry over the whole course all the assignments, all the files, etc. from previous semesters.
So they just need to update due dates and any other fine tuning and it's good to go.
comment in response to
post
Yeah, especially for adjuncts who get saddled with 5 courses per semester or graduate instructors who have their own course load, but posting everything on day 1 would eliminate the need to remember to post repeatedly

Jamaal Bowman would make a lot of sense. Really anybody with legislative credentials and the moral fortitude to seduce the gerontocrats into doing something, and by something I mean at least a single thing

Exactly, it's sufficient to say undoing DEI is revanchist white supremacy. We don't need to thread the needle every single time to say so in the same breath as saying DEI was always a neoliberal formation that served to suppress radical critique of white supremacy in late stage capitalism

I agree with this, except not Mayor Pete. We need someone with bite
comment in response to

It infuriates me when professors pull those kinds of shenanigans. Like, back in the day you had the whole syllabus up front. Universities should require professors to post everything on day 1: readings. assignments, all of it.

Neither Pisces nor Mercury relate to the heart, and if you use the abc version of house significations, the 12th house also does not relate to the heart.

Can confirm this to be acutely accurate in my life (Mercury in the third, to be clear)

In the least surprising news, looking at multiple testimonies often leads to more testimonies. In tropical chart, Jupiter is the final dispositor using modern astro, the master of the nativity using Hellenistic, and is the only planet in the same sign in both systems, and it moves to my first house

I also think most people who say that just know their sun sign
