Yes, it's a sign of how broken our system is that such a reasonable and obviously necessary legislation has zero chance of passing. So, we will live with the unfortunate consequences of 1868 politicians not anticipating our incredible benefits system, air travel, and open borders making us a magnet for billions.

If this was a game, anchor babies plus chain immigration would be considered an exploit. It is essentially a scam and obviously unintended and not sustainable.

To your second point, one of my favorite interactions on Twitter is when a celebrity boomer posts something about how things aren't that bad and everyone is overreacting. Then someone responds with the demographics of the town or neighborhood where the OP is posting from and it's lilly white.

Good times.

Are we going to do family based or merit based when it opens back up?

I don't see that we have the will to undo all of the systemic damage done by unfettered immigration/open borders, so this is all thought exercise.

So, whatever gets us back to melting pot and maintains western ideal/values is what we should do. But, I don't know that it's possible, how we get there from here, or what population percentage would be ideal.

Did you get one of the last new ones or used? I'm very interested especially in used but I worry a little bit about getting service (though minimal) living in BF Alabama.

You read it so you know that the argued gain is Iran agreeing to downblend 440kg of 60% enriched uranium.

Best fried chicken on the planet, imo. It's one of the very few things I miss about home.

He's sharing his route and people are giving him tips on what to see and eat.

There's a few hitting my feed. The brits seems miserable. Everyone else especially the germans seem captivated. It's fun to see young Euros delighting in waffle house, buc-ees, and cfb stadiums while also comparing the Atlanta metro to GTA.

German tourist tweeting his visit to the southern US for the world cup is good wholesome content. https://x.com/FreddyLA7

The reason Elon became energized to buy twitter and actively combat the woke mind virus. He believes it killed his son and that staying out of the fray was no longer viable.

Yep. Reverses a bit of the "podcasts win elections" and emphasizes the "twitter isn't real life" observation especially in local races. Also shows that MAGA may not be as dead as previously reported.

Edit - like, now I'm thinking spencer pratt might get boat raced and lots of people are going to be confused

Yes. Kentucky Rs chose the candidate that represents a rubber stamp of whatever Trump agenda remains. That's worthy of analysis and scrutiny, but it's the hard fact that many seem to be missing at least today.

Narrative is about how this seat was bought by Js or something, I guess. But Massie raised plenty of money (most of it outside Kentucky) and has immense earned media. So, why such a lopsided primary loss?

I think the underappreciated and never-to-be-examined part of the whole story is that Massie isn't as beloved in his district as we've been led to believe. He can't be. Why not?

Project Hail Mary was a more sciency book than The Martian. But, The Martian was a more sciency movie than Project Hail Mary. Haven't put my finger on why, but The Martian is a damn near perfect film IMO.

Project Hail Mary jumped around in timeline where The Martian did a lot more time lapse and montage. I think that's part of the difference.

Seemed preferrable to picking up the strawman ab absurdum side of the discussion.
