Greetings from Tokyo! If you think traffic is bad wherever you are now, you’re probably wrong (I mean, people in Mumbai are laughing at me, right now)

But the mass transit is amazing. World class, no notes.

@waldoj In case you're still struggling, or for next time: There are some GitHub Actions that you can add to your workflow to pause and allow SSH in for local inspection of the environment, like this one:
https://github.com/namespacelabs/breakpoint
GitHub - namespacelabs/breakpoint: Add breakpoints to CI: pause, access the workflow with SSH, debug and resume.

Liberals (in basically any western country) think that the political victory of the right is due to messaging: "We just need to get the messaging right".

No. Your politics are shit because you are adopting the narratives of the right (austerity, racism) and provide no meaningful alternatives.

Thanks, Chicago. Always a good time when I’m here.

Like a lot of Gen Xers, I had insufficient MMR vaccination as a baby. I did a blood test a few weeks ago and found out I'm not immune to measles. So I got a booster today.

About hypocrisy, but voters can recognize it.

You’ll never manage to shame them, so don’t try. But point it out to America.

They use whataboutism all the time, so the difference has to be in not excusing the thing they complain about.

Messaging suggestion for the Dems

“Every GOP outrage is performance.”

“Hillary’s email? Outrage. Waltz’ email? Silence”

“Immigrant accused of murder? Outrage? White guy (Jamie Davidson) convicted of murder? Pardoned by Trump”

They don’t care …

Good question! On legislation, cloture does indeed require a 3/5ths majority which is 60 votes. But on _nominations_, it’s just a simple majority. CRS provides all the detail you could want and possibly even more: https://www.congress.gov/crs-product/RL31980#:~:text=Cloture%20on%20all%20nominations%20requires,consideration%20time%20is%2030%20hours.
