@newtonsommelier @ifilljustice @Slate this is an interesting point, and I wouldn't be surprised if strong evidence supported it as being accurate, but can you point me to evidence like that?

Also Mark, your profile reads in part, "I cannot code to save my life." In response I'm inclined to ask if you've tried pair programming?

@ifilljustice @Slate thank you for a great article.

You wrote "But McConnell urged, and the Kentucky Legislature took the step of changing that state’s law—overriding the veto of the governor to do so—in a way that assured that Republicans would maintain control of McConnell’s seat should it become vacant."

How is the seat filled now, after McConnell urged this change? Don't some states hold a statewide election to fill a vacant senate seat? URL to new law? 🙏

Unchecked, this will make the act of voting a Potemkin exercise and upend the very concept of representative government.

@uberwensch all old people have advice that they hope someone will ask for, but that they don't want to inflict upon anyone who will only politely pretend to listen to it.

My academic and professional experience is not 100% aligned with yours but may nonetheless suffice to allow me to provide advice that you'll someday consider helpful.

Just testing Mastodon's support for expanded character sets. I think the previous paragraph should look to all like we're accustomed to seeing it in a typeset textbook.

It looks like that to me in the editor, before sending. Does it look like that to you?
