New study finds Democrats represent public opinion better than Republicans: "the quality of statehouse democracy, here meaning the dynamic relationship between opinion and policy, is substantially weakened by Republican Party control of state government."

maybe an unpopular opinion but I don’t care for the inflatable holiday decorations you see more and more these days. lazy, feel like cheating. the halloween ones aren’t spooky at all

If he keeps up with this kind of talk it’s going to be interesting seeing how the maga evangelicals deal with their idol straight up saying he is damned.

UPS had seven months of warning about the de minimis change, but is still taking packages w/o getting required customs info & is making tariff charge errors.
Nice use of passive voice though!

i apologize using a passive voice. i was not born in london to a wealthy bank executive, sent to an exclusive private prep school in new hampshire, and then studied at harvard before larping as a champion of the people. you have to work with my low upbringing.

This two-parter below is exactly why it's hard to make clothes in the United States.

Let's look at how much it costs to produce a button-up shirt in the US. 🧵

Someone on Twitter replies to me: "meh. buy american or stfu."

Two hours later, in a separate thread, the write: "$30 for a single button-up is ridiculous unless it is decent quality silk."

you can clearly see the influence of burton’s batman on the film (to say nothing of the elfman score). and i’ll say, in relation to the franchise dreck that passes for blockbuster films these days, DICK TRACY at least makes *choices*. it has a *vision*.
