STAR Voting could easily solve the current deadlock in choosing a Speaker of the US House of Representatives:
1) Create a ballot with every member of the House as a candidate
2) Every member of the House gives each other member 0-5 stars
3) STAR winner is the Speaker
Here we go! We're launching a competition and giving a $50,000 prize to the video that best demonstrates the federal court mistake that gave us Super PACs. @iJasonAlexander can tell you all about it.

@JonahDispatch@bungarsargon If you’re worried about radicalism in the primaries, there are so many better solutions than siding with big money over small donations. The @Fwd_Party and @EqualCitizensUS have better ideas than “hopefully SuperPACs are centrist.”
@academicswrite Trying to find papers? Last I checked, GPT would rather make up plausible-sounding names of non-existent papers, articles, essays, books, etc. I’ve never gotten it to provide me a single real source.

Saw Asteroid City tonight.
I didn't immediately love it. I'll wait to review it until later. But here are my Top 5 Wes Anderson films:
1. The Royal Tenenbaums
2. The Life Aquatic
3. Bottle Rocket
4. The Darjeeling Limited
5. The Grand Budapest Hotel
Update: barber was meticulous but this haircut is maximum 50% or 0.5x better than the $8 haircut. Maybe an economics professor would tell me that’s exactly what to expect from paying 4-5x as much, but I’d personally rather spend that extra money on beer.
Just booked a haircut before realizing it’s $38. I miss my old neighborhood where a haircut was $8. I doubt this will be 5x better. Just asking for a simple men’s cut. Next time I’m going to Humboldt Park. Hell, my Covid cuts weren’t bad, for that matter.
Another night of armed robberies.
And, once again, Chicago police supervisors ordered cops who spotted the offenders in traffic NOT to pursue them.

Natasha Graham spent Monday morning at the morgue to identify her daughter, the second child of hers to be shot to death in Chicago in the last four years.
