@ImNotOwned the guardrails have become prison bars that make the regular order of business impossible and create strong perverse incentives for members of congress while at the same time unduly empowering the executive out of necessity

[Lib Max @progress2trees]

@CJohnsonAELI @NatPurser JLG and Mcduffie are both already in support of conestion pricing

@moseskagan go fuck yourself

WHY DO ALL OF THE CANDIDATES SUCK THIS MUCH

[Alex Taliadoros @AlexCTaliadoros]

Freezing property taxes in DC is one of the worst policy ideas I've heard.

It's a massive tax cut for people who own properties — including multimillion-dollar houses — paid for by DC residents who do not own homes.

It also drains revenue from DC while we're in a fiscal crisis.

[Lib Max @progress2trees]

@BrianMerris @nikicaga Yeah I think the big fuck up was letting his disgust at Robert’s callousness about killing rhaegar’s kids drive a wedge between them- had he stayed on the council from the jump things wouldn’t have ended up where they did

[Lib Max @progress2trees]

@metr0politics I’d argue this definitely would more absurd war than Vietnam if it gets to that point

[Lib Max @progress2trees]

@ImNotOwned The “only in downtown” and the “everywhere but downtown” people should be made to fight to the death for the entertainment of the city

[big content guy @bigcontentguy]

me and the boys discussing how great women are on #InternationalWomensDay

[Lib Max @progress2trees]

HELL YEAH

[Jay in Kyiv @JayinKyiv]

Absolutely massive anti-Orban in Pécs, Hungary at this hour.

[Lib Max @progress2trees]

@torinthestorm @SupposeIRose @sunfyred Yeah it makes sense, and funny enough had rhaegar not incited it to happen when it did they probably would’ve achieved a settlement (and given rhaegar regency over his father)

Regardless of what one thinks about the validity or use of an electoral tactic, surely deploying it over a conflict where tens of thousands are dying is a bit different than deploying it because a white man won a senate nomination over a black woman

[The United States versus Elon Reed Musk @Needle_of_Arya]

Funny how when Black folks take a page out of the DSA handbook and go "uncommitted," "3rd-party," leave the top line of the ballot blank, or stay home in protest, (especially white) DSAs get mad.

If "earn my vote" is the new thing now, then Black folks also get to do it.

@shay_sweatt @nikicaga Why do you think you know better than the family of the deceased who to invite to the funeral?

[Lib Max @progress2trees]

@TheLastNeocon @nikicaga Taught to him by his fun uncle Gerion who went missing searching for the family Valyrian blade in the ruins of old Valyria

[Lib Max @progress2trees]

@schicchi_gianni @billybinion @Ecclesiasticu12 He used an imprecise expression to say that opera and ballet are less culturally relevant today than in the past and are more niche than film?

[Lib Max @progress2trees]

@belladonnafeli @AegonDayne Wait this actually brings something up- does Dany have an accent in the common tongue inflected with free cities Valyrian? Would make sense given her childhood

[Lib Max @progress2trees]

@torinthestorm @SupposeIRose @sunfyred Yeah could’ve been leading into a sort of Barons Revolt type thing (which would’ve been the outcome of the Arryn/Stark southron ambitions theory)

[Lib Max @progress2trees]

@downtheline18 @seungity_ @Etanarachel The fact that there is no slur in the English language for white people that is anywhere close to the equivalent slurs for black people or even other minority groups is evidence of systemic racism. If society had less of that, coprolalics would be able to shout slurs at us all

[Lib Max @progress2trees]

I’m done with this, if this doesn’t make using this app a less rage-inducing experience I’m probably just gonna leave

[Italo @peppipets]

Uma das coisas mais insuportáveis da era do cancelamento é alguém falar que existe um FATO e o público entender que a pessoa DEFENDE que esse FATO exista

[ryan @ryangaur]

Natural endpoint of the influencerification of film criticism = showering your movie in praise means nothing anymore

[Lib Max @progress2trees]

@schicchi_gianni @billybinion @Ecclesiasticu12 *comprised

[Lib Max @progress2trees]

@schicchi_gianni @billybinion @Ecclesiasticu12 It’s about how many people are engaging with the form. If you think the audience compromised of everyone who has ever seen an opera is anything more than several orders of magnitude less than the equivalent for film you’re in denial.
