@mattyglesias This is important, but I think you sometimes lose sight of the fact that the goal is to win as many seats as possible, not to win individual seats by as big a margin as possible.
Today in 1865, the Emancipation Proclamation is announced publicly in Galveston two years after it was issued, as Union forces arrive to ensure 250,000 enslaved Texans are freed. #Juneteenth
I’m delighted to present the cover of my latest cookbook, FIVE TASTES, which will be published this September in the UK and October in the US! It’s about the joy of using the Chinese arts of flavour to make delicious food at home. More info and pre-order links on my Instagram.
There is a really weird antagonism towards dogs from some pro natalism accounts on here that basically does not exist offline.
Offline, in the US, parents are more likely to own dogs than non parents. People are not choosing dogs instead of kids. They exist on seperate axes
@bryan_johnson No opinion on the "best" breed, but have raised four dogs, including breeds some people consider "bad." IMO, best way to get a dog is to go to the animal shelter and see who you vibe with. Better than buying from breeder who makes a profit off of creating more animals.
@richmintz Kind of a sub-issue, but I can't imagine this is genuinely enforceable as a state law, especially as against someone (e.g. you) with a little tech savvy.
