Damn, it looks like the big spending against the California billionaire tax might be working. Tell three people you know to vote yes on 40 and no on 41 and 42, the sneaky measures that cancel it out

@… I am happy to answer this rhetorical question: because even if only a few people are dumb enough to say yes, it's still free money.
But I'm with you. Waiters, yes. Drivers, yes. You handed me something over a counter? Not so much. You're asking for a tip even though I didn't even interact with you? Get fucked.

#ScribesAndMakers 13/08: Our next featured creator turned a short story into a novel. Have you ever done that, or the reverse?
I have, yes. It's a more than usually unpublishable novel, and it's of uneven quality, but I like it. It started off with someone else's short story that I really didn't like; I rewrote the plot of it as a short story of my own which I thoug…

There are these discussions about whether gender/sex is binary or not. Well, one can certainly implement it binary (e.g. in a questionnaire):
Sex: [Yes]/[No]
And we will all agree this is not nuanced enough and people will ask: what do you count as sex?

U.K. Prime Minister Andy Burnham confirmed Kremlin involvement in his country's 2016 referendum on leaving the European Union,
the Observer newspaper reported on Oct. 11.
Burnham asked about Kremlin involvement when he became prime minister in July, reports the Observer,
where he said he was given
"the clear answer that, yes, there was."

ok who designed this form?
The field is `Unplanned Request` The only options are `X` and `x`.. which is... supposed to be `yes` and `smaller yes`? `less yes`? Or is `regular yes` and `EMPHATIC YES`
Tho x usually means NO. No and super no?

All the discourse did get me a little curious, so I fired up my third-party Twitter app (yes there’s at least one that still works)
On my “following” feed, there’s only like four people left out of the hundreds I follow/ed.
I’m kind of glad I checked, I was still following PAX there - note, WAS.

"Yet the system is falling apart as it is. Yes, the AfD (and the far right in general) is a fundamental threat to liberal democracy, but so is the fact that a sizeable and growing part of the population no longer feels represented by its politicians. While many still come out to vote for democracy, they increasingly vote against a party rather than for one.

we’ve been pointing out that it was a huge privacy nightmare waiting to happen.
Or maybe it wasn’t waiting.
Maybe it was already happening.

Sen. Bernie Sanders,
a hero among the nation’s progressive voters,
stumped in Southern California on Monday for a wealth tax on the California ballot in November
that has drawn hundreds of millions of dollars in campaign spending.
“What you are showing people from coast to coast and all over is that, yes,
we can take on the greed of the oligarchs,”
said Sanders (I-Vt.),
who called Proposition 40
the most important ballot measure in the country.…
