Our elected officials are misinformed, no way!?!
Lynchburg, VA is the home of Liberty University (i.e., Falwell country). That’s probably why most people think of it.

A) I’ll believe it when I see it and B) “billionaires shouldn’t exist” is a systemic critique, not a series of individual moral judgements. Are the proposed actions necessary? Then isn’t it damning of the system as a whole that their being carried out is at the whim of some private individual, even if this one time the whimsy is favourable?

Had to catch public transport today.
3 people on the tram. Well spaced out. Then this old lady gets on. Stands right behind me talking on her phone where she announces “I’m on my way to cello practice”
What the actual fuck lady.
Redeeming points for the leopard print.

It’s in the bill, it’s just that the normal forms reject gig workers.
States are either
A. Go ahead and file, get denied, then we will figure it out on appeal
B. Don’t file yet. We will tell you when. Check back tomorrow. Rinse and Repeat n times

France has a town called “Death to the Jews”.
Sort of knew the news about John Prine was coming but still sad to hear it. He was still performing until pretty recently afaik.
