@ehseacs @ScottStamb82849 @dick_nixon Agree with the pundit part, but I think his model is solid. I don’t know that the concept of poll aggregation makes sense anymore, but I don’t see think his thumb is on the scale.

@spacewxwatch A suburb of Madison, WI. So good, even with light pollution.

The idea that Scott Walker is, or ever was, a man of principle is… remarkable

[Joe Walsh @WalshFreedom]

I’ll be honest, because I can only be honest. @ScottWalker, I truly thought you were a man of principle. I expected most of my former Republican colleagues to sell their souls to Trump, but I didn’t think you would. I was wrong. And it makes me sad.

@awb20774 @GeorgeWHerbert @GeraldNGOM @ArmsControlWonk Boats and trains, to laymen, both transport goods and people. But if you start calling boats “trains” you are likely to confuse the hell out of people

@randall_plant @brianjackson502 @mrod21mvp @hyattch @RadioFreeTom Actually: If you truly don’t give a fuck, then please just listen to folk here, cast a vote for Harris, and then go back to clowning on social media.

@brianoleary @librarythingtim Tool libraries kick ass

@Wandersong_game Sorry, can’t answer; Audrey Redheart is still living rent-free in my damn head

@librarythingtim Genuinely surprised you’re an anti-Oxford man

@stephenfhayes @SusanKristol @SarahLongwell25 @JonahDispatch She’s progressive on some issues. But the *real* far-left Democrats are arguing for stuff like embargoing Israel and completely nationalizing healthcare.

Disagree with her if you like, but she’s objectively approximately median in the Dem party.

@Pinboard Why… did you post this? You could just not post. It would be okay.

[Nate Vack @[email protected] @njvack]

@librarythingtim Maybe? I think that if limiting resale were a legal option, auto dealers would do it routinely.

I remain surprised that clickthrough terms are actually binding, honestly — a contract negotiation really should involve, y'know, negotiation and a meeting of the minds

[Nate Vack @[email protected] @njvack]

@librarythingtim They couldn't legally do it, either, by the first-sale doctrine.

E-books are a devil's bargain for libraries

@elneurozorro a million million years ago we ran an fMRI study called "spider train" which, as the name suggests, involved a spider stuck to a lil plastic train

I'm not sure that ever got published

[Nate Vack @[email protected] @njvack]

@librarythingtim WAIT WHAT

"obscure Cibo Matto spin-off" is absolutely my jam, so thanks

@librarythingtim @argyriou15 (In the short term, I suspect we're mostly going to see cost savings feverishly claimed by investors.)

[Nate Vack @[email protected] @njvack]

@librarythingtim @argyriou15 In a normal, well-functioning market, the money businesses save in staffing costs would be passed on as lower costs. And I suspect we'll see that in the medium-to-long term. Software, having eaten the world, will begin the process of autophagy

@one_byte_cafe they're both good flan but I always like a garnish

@librarythingtim I read "bonking noises" and now I want to make bonking noises when I kiss

@americashawk @JonahDispatch @RepLizCheney It's okay to not agree Cheney's policies (I disagree with many!) but also respect her as a person
