After yesterday's surge we've almost filled up the (first?) #DOOP starter pack. If we keep getting waves of people, I'll start a 2nd!

I did go through and remove some of the national soccer media to make room, I'll start a second list for that if people are interested

Considerably higher once you take out all the seats in foil territory (~75%), upper decks, and then start looking at hitting splits. Probably closer to 1 in 2,000 max

Paul Blart 3 looks awful. Did he get fired from the mall?

Mike Anderson @vumander.bsky.social · 14h

What is the plural of Paul Blart? Is it Pauls Blart, like Attorneys General?

Thank goodness you have to be 30 to service in the Senate. We're all not ready for this headline.

Looks like Joe Pittman and the PA GOP are pro-rape www.inquirer.com/politics/phi...

Philadelphia’s only rape crisis center is pausing services indefinitely amid state budget impasse. It’s a ‘colossal loss.’

The Pennsylvania state budget impasse is causing layoffs and disrupting crucial and free services at the Philadelphia Center Against Sexual Violence.

I think the 55 boundaries are off. I don't think Harrisburg, York, and Hershey should be with Philly. I would say: Philly, Delco, Montco, Bucks, Chester, Lancaster, Berks, Lehigh, and Northampton. It also is leaving out New Castle Co DE.

Mike Anderson @vumander.bsky.social · 18h

55 needs more Delaware, atleast half (if not all) of New Castle County.

55 also needs less PA Counties. Philly, Bucks, Montco, Delco, Chester, Lancaster, Berks, Lehigh, Northampton.

Harrisburg, York, Hershey are not the same as us IMO

This is the most accurate depiction of the Midwest to date. Wichita has always felt like the last Midwest city while also being the first plains city.

Johnson: "It's true that in previous shutdowns, many or most furloughed employees have been paid for the time they were furloughed, but there is new legal analysis - I don't know the details, I just saw a headline - but there are some legal analysts saying that might not be appropriate or necessary"

Does this mean ICE employees aren't getting paid? They're just kidnapping for love of the game?

Mike Anderson @vumander.bsky.social · 21h

I'm not sure if the national guard comes out of state or federal budgets tbh

Mike Anderson @vumander.bsky.social · 21h

So does this mean that ICE is currently kidnapping people as part of an unpaid internship?

And the TX national gaurd is rolling out for love of the game?

Regarding the "where does this Union team rank" discussion.

As a Union fan, it's weird because this isn't the best team in club history. When the 22 team took the field you were confident they were gonna bash skulls. In 25 I felt like "yeah, I think we can do enough here"

An enterprising journalist that could prove that his aides and advisors are showing Trump fake shit that led to him signing EOs and making policy decisions would be a huge deal. Maybe the biggest story in the history of the Presidency? Bigger than Nixon. Too bad the newspapers quit being newspapers
