Well, one of their founders and early PMs (and the grandfather of the ex-PM and recent assassination victim, Shinzo Abe) was one of the guys who ran Manchukuo (Manchuria under Japanese occupation in the run up to WWII). With these guys, you always have to wonder how much of the ‘rehabilitation’ took.

We even let AI write our script!

That’s a remake of (and is subtitled as) The Incredible Journey.

In the last decade? People who have lived there for generations but that the Tatmadaw, in an attempt to rally support from the majority population has declared to have immigrated illegally so that they can murder the ‘illegals’.

Adam was a golem

Every vote for Biden in Steubenville is another vote that somebody in Cleveland doesn’t have to counter, so yes, vote.

The electrical vote is state by state (with two states, Maine and Nebraska divying all but two of those votes one per congressional district), so your vote in a swing state matters.

Not left, not right but center somehow ever farther right.

This is the only way they’ll play with a cat tree.

You know how the Tesla board voted to gone him a $50 billion compensation package? After child support gets deducted he’s actually making a modest six figure paycheck.

Debs ran from prison (for the high crime of telling people that WWI was none of our business and people shouldn’t enlist to get turned toa pink mist in Belgium) in 1920

As for voting as a felon, that varies state to state. I don’t think there’s anyplace that allows people to vote from prison, but quite a few states let convicted felons vote once they’ve completed their sentence and any parole that follows it (and in some states, pay additional fines, which sounds a bit like a poll tax to me, but I’m not one of our nine kritarchs, so what do I know about that sort of thing?)

As for people running for office when they couldn’t vote, Elizabeth Cady Stanton ran for office well before she could have voted, and the first woman elected to Congress (Jeanette Rankin) was elected in 1916, several years before women’s suffrage was added to the constitution, though her state, Montana, had allowed women to vote already.

A farcical accident

They invented FSD in the sixties and it makes a handy little loop through downtown Detroit.

You’re definitely paying for legality and safety, but when you have to search through five different streaming apps to find that the movie you’re looking for can only be rented via yet another service, the convenience becomes debatable.

Best guesses would be the way that Ticketmaster’s site shit the bed when people were buying tickets when the Eras tour kicked off or the way that ticket scalping has grown online

Yeah, pay to post was Something Awful founder lowtax’s idea.

We’ve finally figured out how to trick the computer that’s bad at math into being less bad at math.

These kinds of guys have been active in California since basically as soon as it was granted statehood. The Big Four (a clique or robber barons) tried to rule over the state with the wealth they built up with the Central Pacific Railroad.

One of them, Leland Stanford (of Stanford University), actually did become governor and eventually senator.

Another, Charles Crocker, invented Californian NIMBYism with his infamous spite fence.

Ankara’s their capital, but you’re right to point out that this is nothing new.

The policy also ensures that no additional Russian warships get into the Black Sea.

That’s good advice. Shame he and his colleagues didn’t follow it in 303 Creative
