My family was already here, I'd been trying to get here for over a decade. The election just made it my top priority.

I lived in Houston proper (outside the loop). I had shell casings on my street.

Seattle is in King County, ain't nobody can afford to live there.

My property taxes went down considerably going from Texas to Washington (though I did not move to King County). I did buy a used EV up here though since gasoline is crazy expensive and the infrastructure is much better. Most other costs went down or stayed the same. Houston is expensive as hell.

So it's just a pile of useless garbage because Martin hired a buddy to do it part-time instead of bringing in an independent investigator and he hid it because it's embarrassingly bad, but still tried to talk-up its importance even as he knew it was drivel until he was forced to release it and be revealed to be even more dishonest and incompetent than we already suspected.

But reading between the lines, it looks like the whole thing was intended as an effort to hide that Biden's unconditional support for Israel probably cost them the election which would have been determined by a real investigator so he intentionally brought in his buddy to fuck the thing up and muddy the waters so they can 'move on' and 'not think about what went wrong too much'.

That's what I was thinking, unless he gets impeached or kicks the bucket he'll hold office until January 2029.

When I worked at B&N way back in the day the policy was to sell any book that was legal to sell, though many would have to be ordered. In that regard, as long as AI slop is legal to sell I don't have any particular problem with a store selling it.

I wouldn't buy it, of course. It's bound to be wretched.

Flock should have splurged and bought two more councilmembers.

Willful disregard for human life is the legal term I believe.

I do enjoy how GenX doesn't appear at all. Very appropriate.

So his son was being investigated for making threats to shoot up the school and he decided that the best gift was a gun that could allow his son to act on those threats.

Charging him in connection with the shooting seems appropriate.

He doesn't have trauma, he is watching because that was the moment everyone told him he won the election. It was his glory moment and he wants to relive it because he fears it slipping away. Spare me this disingenuous sympathy plea.
