Ms. Tanden is part of a sizable advisory board for Project 2029 that includes Jake Sullivan, the national security adviser under former President Joseph R. Biden Jr.; Anne-Marie Slaughter, the former president of the New America Foundation; the economist Justin Wolfers; Felicia Wong, until recently the president of the progressive Roosevelt Institute; and Jim Kessler, a founder of the centrist group Third Way.

...

Mr. Cherny, now the president of the journal he helped create, called the assemblage “the Avengers of public policy, or the Justice League, depending on your personal persuasion: the best thinkers from across the spectrum.”

They've got everyone from across the spectrum.

The billionaire in question is Bill Ackman, btw. The deranged zionist.

Imagining a world where the NYT devoted credulous front page space to all the jet ski salesmen melting down because they thought Biden was going to expropriate their McMansion.

I thought it was pretty good for a romcom. Wasn't entirely formulaic which I appreciated.

I do not think Dakota Johnson is a good actress, though. Her delivery is very flat.

He doesn't have a degree in foreign policy, he's just that good.

Well Cuomo and Adams are just going to run independent campaigns, so those gutless shits will get "non-Republicans" to vote for.

Funniest outcome is a Republican winning because of all the votes getting split.

Literally the meme of correcting the spelling of the fascist death camp notice.

I think it's more about how temperate areas will become only slightly more unlivable whereas areas already prone to extreme temps will have it worse. Most of the world's developed countries are in temperate zones.

idk

I kind of like the idea of getting able to practice conversation without burdening an actual person with my dogshit grasp of the language.

 

They stopped doing their bread-and-butter Quick Looks sometime after they got bought by Fandom. Quick Looks were how I got into their content in the first place. I think this is a positive indicator. It's a much better format than just streaming a game.

 

this is the handiest I have ever felt

someone had already posted the shape online so it was really simple

 

And only like, what, 2 months after enthusiastically voting for the person who argued that continuing that program and continuing to pay them less than minimum wage was necessary?

 

Nothing good ever happens.

 

Alito does more weird catholic shit.

 

Biden reversing course to final-days-of-Trump-presidency policy making it open season on endangered keystone species gray wolves.

 

Fun anecdote from the article about a previous merger one of these companies did:

Washington seeks to avoid the situation it found itself in a decade ago, when Albertsons bought the Safeway chain. To satisfy regulators concerned about that deal's potential impact on supermarket competition and consumers, Albertsons sold 146 stores to Haggen, a small grocery chain based in Bellingham, Washington.

But Haggen struggled with the expansion. Within six months, it had closed 127 stores — including 14 in Washington — and laid off thousands of workers. Haggen sold its remaining stores to Albertsons in 2016. Now, 10 Haggen stores in Washington are on the list to be sold if the merger happens.

Look at the math on that little offer they did to make the merger more palatable. lmao

 

You've heard about the beautiful boaters, but have you heard about the beautiful fliers?

 

Y'all discarded them for something I don't remember, but anyway, good for them!
