They have marshalls for that. Perhaps what this is showing us that the marshalls need some reforms

They were rigged in all the same ways the Republicans have been trying to rig them for years. They intimidated voters, they closed polling locations, they purged voter rolls, etc. You don't have to fake the votes if you can stop them from being cast in the first place.

We have been trying to reach you about your law's extended warranty

This is the second, and more promising, time chemicals associated with life have been detected in the planet's atmosphere by Nasa's James Webb Space Telescope (JWST).

I thought I'd remembered reading about this before. Sounds like just a couple more years, and they'll be sure this gas is there, which is huge, but not totally conclusive.

Personally, I'd bet it's life. A big rocky planet with an ocean of phytoplankton sounds like our best bet for finding it. The scientists in the article are trying really hard not to be excited

The solution is obviously creating dire sloths

...doesn't it usually imply...something you have in common?

Yes. That you live in the same area. You have the same elected representatives, you use the same public services, you shop at the same stores, you live with the same stakes. That's why people say you need to get involved in your community. Whether or not you acknowledge it, you're part of it

Edit: to add, "community center" probably sounds old-fashioned to you, because of what they were talking about:

it's hard to get anyone to be willing to be remotely friendly or willing to admit that they are destroying the social fabric of their own Communities.

Getting rid of places where you can engage with your community has been part of this effort. Community centers are run by local governments, and are often one of the first things conservatives try to cut

It's the Emperor's New Clothes. Their perceptions of reality are so warped, that they think they look great

They included JD Vance's book lol

Yoooo!! Finally!!! I remember seeing the scars on a whale from their hooks as a kid, and being amazed that something like that could exist. Finding out no one had ever seen one alive devastated little 2nd grade me lol

Interesting. Well, community is a common word lol

It's usually used to refer, non-specifically, to people that live around you. You'll see it in places like "community gardens" or "community centers". The usage on the Internet is pretty recent, linguistically, obviously lol
