I guess my perspective is different after putting in 40+ hrs a week. I appreciate that I can fix shit that’s broken. I don’t mind osx, although I find the minor differences in the toolkit obnoxious. Haven’t used a Microsoft os since I worked there like 15 years ago.

She’s my preference. I like Beto, too. I don’t think the conciliatory approach has ever been effective, so while I support Talarico in general, he wouldn’t be my pick.

Omg, I haven’t even thought about the Sierra games. I wonder if they’re something I can play with my son?

It is possible for a gerrymander to backfire. One hopes they have overestimated their position.

I’d heard rumors about their gerrymander backfiring into a dummymander. Is this damage control?

Warren has solid ethics and I admire her for her work with the CFPB. She has never demonstrated coalition building and is too easily ignored as a strident outlier. Lacks AOC’s incredible fluency with modern media and has never figured out how to address corporate mass media’s Overton window.
