Not only did he deny it, he mocked @nickshirleyy for looking into it. Now he wants credit. The biggest snake in politics.

Christopher F. Rufo ⚔️@christopherrufo

Last week, Governor Newsom denied that widespread fraud was occurring in his state. Now, he's trying to claim credit for fighting it. Totally incoherent—he is clearly worried that fraud will sink him.

I don't think I had fully appreciated how this works, but it's obvious now. NASA is aiming for a point in space where they know the moon will be. Like throwing to a receiver, but on a somewhat larger and faster scale.

Lucid™@cammakingminds

If you are using the earth as a reference frame, the moon is actually doing a close flyby of Artemis II.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but do not rely on AI to provide tax advice.

Vijay@VijayInWA·30 Mar

Governor Ferguson will sign his party's unconstitutional income tax into law tomorrow morning, ending over a century of Washington state tradition. But why did the Governor wait until the last possible moment to sign a law which he supported so enthusiastically? It is a cynical maneuver to undermine Washingtonians who oppose this unconstitutional tax from running a voter initiative against it. Over 300,000 signatures for an initiative need to be collected by July for it to be placed on the ballot, but signatures cannot be collected against a law that doesn't exist. So by waiting to sign his new income tax the Governor is literally trying to undermine the Democratic process, making the window to collect signatures as small as possible. On a weekend when thousands of people were chanting "No Kings" perhaps it would be wiser to look at the King closer to home.

This is incredibly common.

Spoke with a couple from Columbus, OH. They paid $280k for a home in 2020 & that home is now $475,000. They got a 30 year, 3.75% mortgage. They now have 2 kids, need more space but a new home doubles their housing costs. ...They're trapped & millions are in this situation.

@BradyBC3 @Halflernation @IndyCar Right, and I’m saying that in a top racing division in the world, the barrier shouldn’t be… a fence.

English

🏁Brady 🏎️💨@BradyBC3·29 Mar

He hit the fence more than the barrier. I'm sure that after the weekend, the track will make adjustments to that area to help keep cars from popping up like that. The fence worked as designed—if it was stiff, all that energy would've been sent back to the car and driver. That fence's purpose is to absorb energy and make sure he doesn't go into the woods.

@Halflernation @IndyCar Going through a barrier is how Grosjean nearly died a few years ago.

Marco Silva@Halflernation·28 Mar

@strayts @IndyCar Quite the opposite. The fence bent and destroyed itself so the impact was smoother for Scott. Fast decceleration is the danger. The fence absorved that impact smoothly 👌👌👌

📸REDWOODS PHOTOGRAPHY BREAK📸 Seeing as Mrs. Dr. Publius is on a redwoods binge, this is one of my favorite shots from our many hikes in California's redwoods forests. This is from Wunderlich County Park, near Woodside, CA, just a few hundred meters from Neil Young's heavily guarded private estate. 😉 Olympus E-P1, Lumix 20mm, f/1.7, 1/60th, ISO 800, handheld.

We have visited Redwood NP several times. The beauty in these forests is just awe inspiring.

How do people in the suburbs genuinely look forward to Friday night on the couch, Saturday morning at Costco, and call that a weekend? Like you really moved out of the city just to LARP as your parents at 34?

I don't care how bad he was slumping, you'd never take Aaron Judge out of the lineup for this game. So I don't understand Cal Raleigh not being in this lineup at all.

@DudeWhoInvests That $600k home is now $850k also. So really that payment is even more.

Just a Dude Who Invests@DudeWhoInvests·17 Mar

A mortgage payment on a home 5 years ago would have been $2,000/month for a $600,000 home. Now it’s $4,500/month for a $600,000 home. Mortgage payments have over doubled in less than 5 years and people are wondering why homes aren’t being bought.

Scott Miller - Apogee/3D Realms Founder ☢️@ScottApogee·15 Mar

HBD, Descent! A game that started life under the Apogee umbrella, but we had to sell the rights to Interplay about a year into development simply because we couldn't afford the monthly burn the growing team required. I really hated that we didn't publish the game, but it was just impossible to fund the project properly at that time and we didn't want to just shut it down, so Interplay got a gift from heaven with the deal we offered them. And Parallax got to see their amazing game cross the finish line, which to me was the primary reason to let the game go to another publisher.

Happy birthday Descent. This is a reminder that you can play the 1995 classic on your Meta Quest. A port by @chvjak available on @SideQuestVR Note: You'll need the original full game files #Descent #VR
