happy bday balrogo @AlephZero

My gf bought me a switch and Mario kart because I've been enjoying playing them at my bros place and I really wanted a switch anyway (was gonna get it for myself but I thought she might get it and she did)

Watching over the garden wall and drinking coffee, probably gonna switch to beer soon

so why is either being held at fault?


Because they lobby hard to maintain their first in the nation status(es)? Though to be clear I dont see the video in the OP criticizing Iowa for being first so much as criticizing the fact that they're always first.

like yeah there are countless ways that the entire election cycle could be improved, but there's not some kind of corn boogeyman telling the feds to keep California or NJ from having an early primary


Nah they aren't boogeymen just tools in the democratic party establishment like tom vilsack, who himself is only a nationally prominent politician due to the status of Iowa as going first. it's a self-promoting cycle

Upward of 250 people -- teachers, students, parents and others -- were a part of the picket line. They held their line on the side of the building before school, forcing some staff members to find an alternate entrance.
According to the LRSD communications director, as of 11 a.m., there are 607 teachers and 118 members of the support staff out, from the 3,200 employees at LRSD.

As for the student attendance, over 10,000 elementary, middle and high school students were absent on Thursday.
  • 12,605 elementary students enrolled 6,542 were in attendance today
  • 4,829 middle school students enrolled 2,132 were in attendance today
  • 5,903 high school students enrolled 1,475 were in attendance today
The Arkansas State Board of Education began their meeting earlier Thursday morning, and some teachers rallied outside that meeting as well. As the morning picket lines wrapped up, the action shifted to the state capitol.

this man likes to tell this joke

When Deval Patricks daughter was growing up in the 1980s, her kindergarten teacher gave her an assignment: Go home and describe the four seasons to your mom and dad. So she did: First you drive up and the doorman takes your car. For the daughter of a Boston power lawyer, the Four Seasons Hotel seemed as sensible a homework topic as the basics on winter, spring, summer and fall.

It's my understanding that most congresspeople spend a lot of time on the phone talking to donors, which is time AOC spends doing her actual job(IIRC, she only misses hearings if it's at the same time as another hearing). So she probably has more free time than most of them.

Would you care to elaborate?
In the Trump case the court opinion was quite specific, right? Specific in terms of how it defined Twitter accounts as a public forum under certain conditions, IIRC specifically if it's used by a govt official in an official capacity. There's certainly a case to be made that AOC isn't using the account in an official capacity. Furthermore, the plaintiff in the Trump case argued specifically that they were blocked because of their views. If AOC is blocking someone for e.g., harassing them, I think again that there would be a case to make.


It is specific about that, but the definition of "official capacity" is very broad.

https://www.aclu.org/blog/free-speech/internet-speech/court-rules-public-officials-cant-block-critics-facebook

As the court rightly held, that includes any time that theyre controlling a Facebook page they maintain in their official roles. Specifically, the court recognized that when a public official uses a Facebook page as a tool of governance that is, when she uses it to inform the public about her government work, solicits input on policy issues through the page, and swathes it in the trappings of her office she is controlling the page as a government actor.
And if she opens that page to public comment, the interactive space of the Facebook page constitutes a public forum. The fact that the page exists on a website owned by a private company doesnt change that.
