Polling predictions are done with way, way less than 5% of the data and are usually pretty close (at least within a few percent). So long as it's a reasonable representation (i.e. not all areas that supported Markey specifically) that's more than enough data to work from.

I had a chat with a Ukrainian friend about the war there, their second biggest fear (after Russia taking over) is all the people who have collected the weapons that are flooding the country and staying away from the battlefield. They're going to try build their power when the war is done.

My partner just asked me "do I need to buy you more stickers?". And honestly, it is a good use for my stickers. Also I realised I hadn't listened to Avail in years, so thanks for the reminder! (I listen to the rest of the bands pretty much daily). Also my leg hurts because I spent 8 hours standing yesterday, sigh.

This was the inevitable outcome of harsher penalties for “terrorists”, now every crime by opponents of the government is terrorism.

The conversation being on what is or isn’t blacked out is a nice cover from all the information they never included in the first place.

Iran is so emboldened they’re going to do… what exactly? Ask for $600 billion?

Definitely not a thirst trap, you gave him so little to work with that, if he’s flirting, he went with “nice shorts”. I do kinda want watermelon now though.

He's been dead for a few years, so probably not.

Key bit is this - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stepped-up_basis. I used to be a tax accountant (but not an American) and I've never heard of anything like it.

We should aim for somewhere habitable, keep things spicy for our ancestors 3,000 years from now.

You don’t get to control someone’s life just because they’re on government benefits.

The husband of one of the protestors got 30 years for moving some files. He wasn’t there, wasn’t involved at all, just hid some documents at the request of his wife. Sure, it’s a crime to hide evidence, but 30 fucking years?

Capital gains simply being wiped out at death is insane. Explains a lot of the wealth hoarding in the US.

Corbyn had the charisma of a potato, but was also the perfect example of how money and media control politics and how antisemitism can be used to destroy anyone.

As a non-American, I'm really glad this attempted dictator turned out to be such a useless fuckwad. The idiots seem to be losing, and the moron-class will have to take a backseat post-November.

This wouldn’t work, because there’s no money to pay a dividend. It’s just debt passing around tech companies with minimal real revenue there. There are loans that may never get paid and shareholders that will lose out, probably eventually coming from pension funds (which is why mElon is angry he can’t get in the S&P)

What’s wrong with it exactly? Seems they own the land already (and it’s empty fields), what wildlife is under threat and specifically how?

We’re all fucked because Bibi does not care about anything except keeping himself out of prison.

Sadly this will keep going to SCOTUS. And we all know the outcome there

You think if you don’t rape children you’re not a man? That’s fucking awful.

How did you take “nope” to mean agreeing with you? Do you have problems with understanding consent?

Nope.

The worst thing anyone has done in the name of Palestinian Action is vandalise a plane. Nations ramped up anti-terrorism laws, now they just apply them to whoever suits them. Immigrants? Potential terrorists. Drug dealers? Narcoterrorists. Protestors? Terrorists causing property damage.
