Yeah, I'm into MTG.

 

I didn’t consent to you posting that picture of me on the right

 

new set looks wild

 

Agreed, but I’m still working on collecting Phyrexia

 

rest as much as you can and take paxlovid. When you do have to move, move slowly.

 

you misspelled ivermectin

 

**groan**

 

There are a few I really like:

James Walsh: He is really putting an emphasis on workers' rights, living wages, and closing the wealth gap
Ean Thomas Tafoya: He's the best candidate if climate change and the environment is your top priority

But as for the best overall, I'm leaning Lisa Calderon. She got the DSA endorsement (see their full list below!). She has a full plan for housing and homelessness, expanding access to transit and multimodal options, and diverting police funding to better uses. She also supports rent control. I do wish she had a stronger environmental plan (like building electrification), but transportation is a big GHG contributor in Denver so if she has a plan for tackling that it's at least a start. And while she hasn't made workers' rights as big of an emphasis as Walsh, she still has talked about strengthing support for unions.

Also, she seems to have the most momentum of all the progressive candidates, so if I'm thinking strategically about not cannibalizing the progressive vote, she's the best option there too.

Edit:
Lisa also has the support of the Colorado Working Families Party

 

The entire Northeast Ohio region is aware of this

 

Have a friend who worked at Marble Room and they said they would actually refuse to work Lebron’s party if he came in. He was so cheap that the servers would actually lose money after tipping out the bar and bussers.

 

He also could have declared Dominion (or Fox News) an early winner so not sure if this is a good thing or not?

 

That would be pretty cool actually

 

He could not have declared Dominion an early winner in today's ruling. The motion was from Fox News for summary judgment, which basically says there are no material facts in dispute and, as a result, Fox News wins as a matter of law.

He did help Dominion by ruling that the statements made by Fox News were false, so they don't need to prove that part in trial, but they still need to prove actual malice - knowing falsity or reckless disregard for the truth in publishing the claims - and whether damages are due to Dominion.

The damages part is going to be the hardest for Dominion. They need to show they were actually harmed, and there is no way they get close to that $1.6 billion amount they claimed. This was never going to be the end of Fox News like some people thought and, at this point, I think it becomes more likely that Fox settles.
