Well, I misremembered half of it, but Homestar Runner was one of the many flash animations of the flash-craze heyday. Occasionally, they were puppets. From nearly 25 years ago: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=tLSgRzCAtXA

It's probably turtles all the way down, but I think "A[n] ~~British~~ animators's email segment co-star ~~mispronounces~~ misspells 90s greeting" might be an even smaller domino.

Edited to replace failing memory.

Yes, but Trump has/had been taking legal marching orders from the Federalist Society which does support a strict read, no?

Unfortunately, I'm not sure how folks in the US pull it back. The weight of money draws in so much disinformation and outright media complicity that even grassroots movements (eg. Bernie, RCV) have been safely tampered out.

FDR tried for a second bill of rights

Americans didn’t even bother to show up and now we have a Republicans in control of all three branches again.>

Absolutely. Trump did not have a significant bump in votes, 10 million voters did not turn out, or so early figures show. Of them, it's largely white suburban males. Apathy leads to populism. Dr. King had something to say about white liberals...

And corncream-pilled

I dunno. I've seen a lot of Doritos in well established grad labs.

...wait.

Yes and no. While not a natural science, the study of humans making choices in a resource limited envrionment is a study that does work in examining how policy decisions affect human outcomes. The analysis should hopefully enable making better policy. Ideally we'd be less intellectually lazy than saying, "broken thing better than other broken thing", but here we are.

Maybe it is more akin to health analysts interpeting how the rules of the game affect injuries, and then, hopefully, offer ways to reduce TBIs. The better outcome would be to not play a game that leads to concussions, but... fuck (waves hand generally)

Thanks for sharing this! I had not seen it in a while.

I am not a tax expert (IANATE?), but with all the tax havens and multi-national businesses would they not just relocate? I am very much interested in the simplification of the tax code such that the burden shifts back to those keen on wealth extraction. I just dunno what that looks like as code and in impementation.

Maybe it's because these generations of which I'm a part are struggling financially and will likely end up in the gutter due to crumbling support systems or because we're staring down the double barrel of the imminent repercussions of ignoring climate change and the reinforcing systemic barriers to overcome it, but I just learned that "dust bowl chic" (and consent, already known) really does it for me.
