@LeviABx @handmaid_not @dinah_sykes After you finish your research, feel free to text me to schedule coffee. Or do that anyway and you can just ask your questions in person.

[Jason Anderson @dirkgently]

@LeviABx @handmaid_not I assume you’re referencing @dinah_sykes, but doesn’t really matter. No, I didn’t win, but over 20,000 of my neighbors did vote for me and I probably came closer than her original expectations. Or not. Not relevant to the topic. But feel free to air your laundry.

@LeviABx @handmaid_not Would you prefer “I have two siblings?” Stop being pedantic.

[Jason Anderson @dirkgently]

@LeviABx @handmaid_not Both my parents worked hard. 3 kids total. We still lived paycheck to paycheck, subsidized housing, food stamps. I’m not exactly sure where you think families like ours would have found tuition money, but the purity of your ideals would have a hard landing in reality.

I have decided to opt out of providing content for AI training on X and will be closing this account at the end of the year. You may find me, if you like, on BlueSky @jayscott.com.

@markbeemer @Poskin4KS @TheAteam4BV @Freedom2LearnKS Let me help you answer that, it was $1,825. You're the single largest donor to the Help Students Learn & Play PAC. I've ignored a lot of your group's trolling these past months but the hypocrisy is just ridiculous here. You're acting like there's some sort of "gotcha" about CA.

[Jason Anderson @dirkgently]

@markbeemer @Poskin4KS @TheAteam4BV @Freedom2LearnKS FYI @markbeemer, I am presently the chairperson for @Freedom2LearnKS. Sloane has not been actively involved in the organization this year, though it's true that some of her family donated at the beginning to help us bootstrap. How much did you give to your PAC when it started up?

[Jason Anderson @dirkgently]

@calebdiffell @eskoglund I’m sure that you and your family at @RulonInternati1 are impressed by your witticisms, but as a Kansas resident I assure you that nobody here cares much what some random CFO from Florida thinks about Kansas abortion rights.

[Jason Anderson @dirkgently]

@DoctorNatasha @DrJenGunter It looks like we finally have found something that, for a time at least, stops the national regressive backsliding narrative. There's an opportunity for hope.

@jonlovett Kansas resident here. Live in a +22 Trump precinct. I saw plenty of No signs (and more than a few vandalized Value Them Both signs).

@Bill_Weems83851 @mjs_DC Life was already radically different depending on which state you live in.

@ebellity Sadly we won't know until we know, but seeing Coinbase and Redfin and Tesla laying off large chunks gives me pause. That said, if it ends up just being the end of digital tulip-farming, that'll be a net positive for society IMHO.

[Jason Anderson @dirkgently]

@DoctorNatasha We shall see you in June, prior to our trip to South Africa 😮

[Jason Anderson @dirkgently]

@Noahpinion I am reflecting on the 2000-02 crunch. We went from 500 employees up to 4000 or so and back down to 1500 all in 4 years. I know quite a few engineer-turned-realtors, QA-turned-landscaping, devops-turned-retail.

@joshelman You should have sold them a car warranty…

@hunterwalk Corollary: if there's no joy in what you're doing, you're doing the wrong thing

[Jason Anderson @dirkgently]

@kcur Two other common factors: utility company and state policy/regulations about consumers selling surplus energy into the grid, and (in wealthier areas) HOA rules prohibiting the installation of solar panels.

@JeffStanleys @ehy630 @Linda4Kansas @Kansas_Heather @mel_haas @cindy4kansas @Freedom2LearnKS Not only do many other countries pay for public education of internationals, some countries pay for college education of internationals. Here’s a 2019 UN report as one reference: https://t.co/ewbYZy4kyV
