The Third Political Party

Good idea, but unlikely to happen.

I despise when new #leftists say #voting won't change anything!

Well, yeah!, not overnight. Voting is one tool in a toolbox (and #civilian action is not a "When all you have is a hammer," situation).

(What follows pertains to the #USA:)

We can #vote #thirdparty and #advocate for others to do the same.

For every presidential #election cycle in which a party receives at least 5% of the vote, that party then receives funding from a presidential fund checkoff ($3 at #tax time from the federal government, NOT your pocket); the funds are proportional to their share of the vote.

If we rally around third parties and check that box at tax time, we can divert a lot of money from the BIG TWO into MANY third parties.

Those third parties can then compete with the current big two on more equal financial footing.

Our votes can fund viable third parties that focus on things OTHER THAN capitalist concerns, because our votes will have taken away the need to secure funding for their #campaign across the nation.

The way things are these days, you'd hope that immigration law firms would be especially careful to secure clients' files.

Dream on.

MiniMax Token Plan은 처음부터 서드파티 하니스에서 사용하도록 설계됐다고 설명했다. AI 구독이 자사 제품에만 제한되면 외부에서 나올 수 있는 혁신적 활용 아이디어를 막게 된다는 점을 강조한다.

Anthropic이 Claude의 서드파티 앱용 구독을 중단했다고 언급한 트윗이다. 외부 앱 연동과 Claude 생태계에 직접적인 영향을 줄 수 있는 중요한 정책 변화로 보인다.

Maaaan, I was really hoping that when they said they were continuing the Infinite Finity line that has the AE86 Drift, that meant more Initial D cars (I -really- wanted a IDW Rodimus as Keisuke's FD). Vector Prime as the BttF Delorean is cool and all, but just enough outside my interests that I can't justify $TripleDigit to support it. Hopefully it sells well, though, as the next in the line based on some FB posts and an insert with Drift has the A-Team van as an alt, and I'm super curious which character they'd use. Ironhide is a bit too on-the-nose, Kup could be cool, Bulkhead or Breakdown would work.... oooh, maybe Strika? I think Blaster could work, too.
