Even if he didn't win a single game this year neither him nor his family would deserve online attacks. It makes me upset that he accepts his performance is all that will protect his family's online peace

So exciting to see CD1 Wittman as toss-up. He's been aw-shucks -ing and "I'm a moderate concerned about voting for a budget" and then voting for the worst policies forever now. I'll never forgive his vote on ACA and pre-existing conditions after he said he would protect.

60 days for 3 years of abuse...
It sounds reasonable if the goal is to PROTECT F-ING PEDOPHILES.

We've all heard how corrupt Ken Paxton is. But he is also incredibly stupid if he thinks this "well, he served 60 whole days" excuse for releasing Adam Hoffman, who sexually abused a boy over a three-year period starting when he was 8.

Fishing nets and shark finning (that one for the fu**ing Chinese #TCM) kill lots of sharks, but they´re not the cruel monsters like in "Jaws", they´re the health police of the oceans.

Nancy Mace, a bigoted right-winger elected member of the house who has claimed to be a victim of sexual abuse, credibly, and also helped protect pedophiles shows up on a podcast wearing this.

Worst thing about AI doomerism is that it made everyone forget about climate change. Musk now just wants to populate the planet with his superior sperm, and I assume he's planning to take all his progeny off planet once it becomes too inhospitable. God, I fucking hate billionaires.
“Climate change is the biggest threat that humanity faces this century, except for AI,” Musk told Rolling Stone in 2018. “I keep telling people this. I hate to be Cassandra here, but it’s all fun and games until somebody loses a f—ing eye.” Musk bristles at government spending on climate change But as the details of the Biden Administration’s Build Back Better bill surfaced, Musk began to have a change of heart about the administration. Despite the bill’s provisions on climate change, Musk told the Wall Street Journal: “I would just can this whole bill. That’s my recommendation.” Why was he against it? Musk expressed concern about the amount of government spending required and how it would affect the deficit. “Do we need federal support for gas stations? We don’t. So there’s no need for this, for support for a charging network. I would delete it. Delete.” “It might be better if the bill doesn’t pass because we’ve spent so much money, you know, it’s like the federal budget deficit is insane,” he added. Musk vs. Bill Gates on climate action Musk and Bill Gates are two of the richest men in the world. Both have overwhelming resources to devote to fighting climate change. But each man has taken different routes to help with the crisis, and these differences have caused a feud. Gates has criticized Musk for his endeavors with exploring outer space rather than using that money for work here on Earth, while Musk has criticized Gates’ strategies and his financial dealings with Tesla. In brief, Gates owns a half-a-billion short position on Tesla. This came to a head when Gates reached out to Musk about working together on climate change. Musk shut down the proposition pretty quickly. In a leaked text message exchange (which was later confirmed by Musk as authentic), Musk replied to Gates, “Sorry, but I cannot take your philanthropy on climate change seriously when you have a massive short position against Tesla, the company doing the most to solve climate change.” Musk now believes there are bigger problems than global warming Although Musk declared in 2018 that climate change was the most significant threat humanity would face this century, his views seemed to have changed by the summer of 2022 — at least regarding global warming. On July 15th, Musk tweeted, “Tesla is to protect life on Earth, SpaceX to extend life beyond.” However, just over one month later on August 25, Musk tweeted, “Population collapse due to low birth rates is a much bigger risk to civilization than global warming. Mark these words.”

Soviet Census, 1930s; US Census, report today in the Guardian .
NKVD head Genrikh Yagoda, who had been in charge of the forced collectivization (as well as Stalin’s poison laboratory), fell out of favor for reporting the negative public reaction to the show trials. He was demoted, then denounced, then tried in the third show trial in 1938, and executed. His replacement underwent a similar fate and was executed in early 1940. “Execution was the favored solution to every problem, includ- ing those caused by previous executions,” writes Adam Hochschild. “When the national census showed that his reign of terror was shrinking the country’s population, Stalin ordered the members of the census board shot. The new officials, not surprisingly, came up with higher figures. Between about 1929, when Stalin had van- quished his rivals and concentrated power in his hands, and his death in 1953, most historians now estimate that he had been directly re- sponsible for the deaths of somewhere around 20 million people.” --Orwell's Roses After having forcibly retired thousands of dedicated civil servants who held a gobsmacking amount of institutional knowledge, the Trump administration has increasingly made impossible demands of those who remain. In June, they ordered the Census Bureau to stop using the most sophisticated techniques available to protect the confidentiality of the public’s responses when publishing data. Government scientists were told that they must return to the statistical dark ages and use methods that horrify their peers. By micromanaging the tools that experts can use, politicians are forcing civil servants to choose between publishing unusable data, risking the privacy of Americans’ data, or simply not publishing data. In August,another controversy roiled the Census Bureau. Partisan data geeks leveraged a program designed to help the government recruit talent. Once there, they obtained access to government data and leveraged the bureau’s brand to publish a report arguing that numerous non-citizens voted in the 2020 election, reinforcing Trump’s conspiracy theory that he did not lose the election fair and square. This report is anomalous in countless ways: it’s unsigned, lacking methodological detail, devoid of error metrics, and rushed through without oversight by the bureau’s experts. But it doesn’t matter how bad the report was (and it’s truly abysmally bad). The reputational damage was done. Economists and advocates from across the partisan spectrum were outraged at this blatant politicization of the Census Bureau. The Trump administration doubled down. Days later, the commerce department eliminated the language that prohibited political interference from the agency’s official scientific integrity policy. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2026/sep/10/census-trump-congress
