That is correct. The state legislatures generally (if not always) picked the senators, but due to huge state corruption, it was almost always political qui pro quo, and some states even going full terms without selecting sla sentaor. This led to the 17th amendment (which you’ll here rednecks and/or white supremacists asposing, because states’ rights.)

Edit to add: Wikipedia knows it better than I do.

Japan was the first of his that I saw, and you never forget your first.

Bill Wurtz - The History of Japan

I grew up I a predominantly white neighborhood in a very segregated city, and I heard people harping on riots and unrest in the blacker areas and how that was bad for their neighborhoods. It wasn’t until I was older that I heard the argument that the buildings they were looting or burning weren’t part of their community. If a large company put a store in their neighborhood and it got looted, it wasn’t bad for their community became none of the success of that company was shared by the company - they were essentially just extracting wealth from the area. Some areas having already been flipping the board. We’re just getting to the point that more are ready to say “fuck boardwalk!”

The onion looks like it started to caramelize, maybe more salt on it to let it sweat before cooking. And the pepper has a lil bit of char on it. Good effort, 6/10.

That is true. I say this because there is money that flows in through intermediaries(though still illegal, undoubtedly happens), but I also incorrectly conflated monetary support for foreign interests with money from foreign entities - my apology.

I voted third party for my congressional rep. I have the privilege of living in a solid blue district and I did it is a protest, but also because I like the candidate more than the blue candidate. I voted for my favored candidate in the primary, but she lost to a heavily AIPAC funded candidate. I disagree with Israel’s actions and the amount of foreign money in domestic elections. I’ve told very few people this, whether in person or online - more than anything I want it to represent statistical dissent. I would never consider my vote if there were an even remote possibility of the right winger taking the seat.

The gas Giants are huge, like really really huge. Jupiter and Saturn have more than that. The rings from Saturn are probably from moons, but not necessarily colliding, but getting close enough to the planet to reach the Roche Limit.

The first one: “Work and starve.”

He could be her Obama’s Luther.

SpaceX is ran by a woman, Gwynne Shotwell. Musk is the CEO, but she runs the show as the COO - this is because of her.

Lulu Garcia-Navarro. I grew to like her when she was on NPR.

This was 538’s prediction before the 2016 election.

I never payed close enough attention, I always thought he looked like Samuel L Jackson in costume

No, that was some guy running for, I think, NY governor, but not actually running - he just wanted to use his platform to bring light to the issue of rent prices. --I had to google It while typing this out - Jimmy McMillan.

Gwynne runs the show at SpaceX, and frankly, she’s fucking awesome at her job. The CEO is a blowhard, but Gwynne is calling the shots day to day.

I may be wrong, but I think he’s an “adjudicated rapist” because it was a civil matter. Correct me if I’m wrong though, because I’m just parroting something that I’ve heard.

TIL never trust a work van hauling a ladder that’s never been used.
