@soundofideas if public schools want increases to state funding, they can band together and buy legislators just like sports teams and electric companies.
@soundofideas do any of the suggestions include restoring or increasing state-level funding for services that have had to go to taxpayers to make up the gap with local levies?
“Pilot”
Jeremy: Right. Right. The Democrats…
Dana: Name three things.
J: Find a younger candidate…
Natalie: Yes.
J: Get someone who can activate their base.
D: Okay, one more.
J: (pause) Tell Aaron Sorkin to sit down and shut up?
D: Excellent!
N: Well, welcome to Politics Night
“Because I needed the ‘West Wing’ audience to find President Bartlet’s intransigence heroic, I didn’t really dramatize any downward pull that his illness was having on his re-election chances,” Aaron Sorkin writes. “What if the show had gone another way?”

@soundofideas If the Haslams are going to ask for taxpayer funding, they should focus on the most joyful parts of the stadium. The parking lot before the game, and the away-team locker room after the game.
@soundofideas I work in Portage County, where one one statehouse district runs from outside Barberton (Summit) to outside Burton (Geauga). The other district splits a township in half, conspicuously around an incumbent’s house.
The process right now is an absolute farce.
Fired up #Starfield and didn’t even get out of the mining building before seeing a guy walking about on invisible legs. Torso bro just checking his locker and stuff.
Bethesda. Bethesda never changes.
Watching the replies to a wrong but well-intentioned tweet about worker safety and FOIA requests has been a nice reminder of what a hellhole this service has become.
I wonder how long it would have taken to figure out “failing to meet expectations” as a trigger for my depression if I’d actually been going to therapy.
Because, surprise, parenting is teaching me all kinds of stuff.
For @Greenmensteward Any chance of this?

Last time around I got a call from a parent asking us to reschedule our eclipse program because it was during school hours. It’d be easier than moving the moon.
The head of the state BWC just sent out an email to Ohio Libraries encouraging us to promote a great new program… that we helped get off the ground 2 years ago.
For all that my ADHD gives me a lot of ideas I’ll never follow through on, someone in California should open a breakfast joint called The Marin Brunchhausen. I’ll give it a wildly inflated review.
@NoetheMatt A library board around here made minor news a few years back for wanting to loudly flounce their way out of the ALA.
It’s super fun when groups forget that recordings of meetings can be requested. Especially when they say shit like “well, we don’t want that in the minutes.”
