we had a real fun one at a Major University naming everything after cheeses until some sadsack norm was in charge and decided we were naming everything after characters from The Lion King

I remember the days of giving servers cute names and yes it was very very fun but eventually VMs come along and you can only keep your head above water if you go with "[datacenter]-[function]-[number]"

What's important here is that it's the ICE raids that are capturing their attention.

This is why the reliance on focus groups and polls and the inevitable claim that voters only care about "kitchen table" issues misses the mark.

It's cool to support the Rebellion. It's not cool to support the Empire.

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

That's what it seemed like but I figured I HAD to be missing something! Like...I'm sure there's SOME kind of funding flow, to some degree, from some state governments SPECIFICALLY to the Feds but I have no idea for what, or how much.

When people talk about the states withholding tax payments to the federal government, what are we talking about? Honest question! I presume we’re talking outside of income tax, which I don’t think the state has a role in conveying?

So let's play this out: Dems hold the line on the actual big picture constitutional lawlessness issues, which Trump/GOP would never concede and any deal with them would be worthless anyway. What good are concessions in legislation and appropriations from a guy who breaks those with impunity? 1/

My given name is Christopher, AND my father was born in Italy, AND my grandmother called me Cristofero. So I have more standing than most of you crying mamalukes. And my ruling is that Columbus is OVER. Sorry!!!!
