Raphael Warnock. They simply can't allow him to debate because it would require him to say things that aren't scripted. e: like I don't think this is a Biden gaffe machine becoming worse with age situation or a Trump saying whatever he can to have people cheer for him, I think he's really not there at all anymore.

Walker having lost it is like the worst kept secret in politics. I know it’s not looking good for Dems in November, but losing to Walker would be really sad. The guy is being puppeted around. Any actually debate will show he’s out of his mind.

When a public figure is described in the media as "a complicated figure" or something to that effect, the translation is basically, "this guy is/was a real piece of poo poo, but a significant portion of my audience will yell at me if I say that explicitly", right?

We watched the first Venom last night. It was fine. Could have done with less exposition. Tom Hardy is very sweaty in that movie.

I got to tour Pixar once and they have an art section in the office and normally half of it is concept stuff from their latest movie and half is original art by the people who work on the art for the movies, but when I went, because The Good Dinosaur and Finding Dory were so close to release from each other, it was nothing but concept art. I don't think I'll ever forgive The Good Dinosaur for existing because of that.

Saw a Pixar guy give a lecture once and I thought the most fascinating thing was that they said the limitation to their render time wasn't processing power but power consumption. That was 15 years ago so I wonder if it holds true, but even then I am still dumbstruck that its power of all things and not memory or processing power.

It's changed a bit in the last few years since attention has been called to it but in a lot of places whoever ran did so unopposed. Like, you hear the sheriff is retiring and you're some rando who goes 'I want to be sheriff,' file a little paperwork to get on the ballot, and suddenly you are. Intruder posted:Judges and other court officials though, yeah DA's are probably the ones we should pay more attention to all in all in my dumbass opinion that may or may not be correct. Or rather the most important elections we routinely ignore.

The flip side problem is that appointed judges and DA’s will allow whoever appointed them to get away with everything up to and including literal murder.

Kalli posted:Eleven states including Texas directly elect judges and... man Direct election of judges is obscene. Case in point: About twelve years ago here in Iowa, the state Supreme Court ruled that the state's law prohibiting same-sex marriage violated the equal protection clause of Iowa's constitution. Essentially, the ruling legalized same-sex marriage in the state. Three of the Supreme Court justices were up for re-election the following year. All three lost their seats.

Yes. Elected judges, in theory, are held accountable by the voters. Except like 99% of judges are re-elected/retained. It’s kind of a difficult decision when it comes to highly technical government jobs. I’m of the opinion that they should just be appointed by an apolitical board. Let the state bar association pick judges and give them like max three 5-year terms and that’s it. Coroners should be appointed too.

Coroners should be elected and required to run the dirtiest of campaigns by law. "Unlike my opponent, I promise your loved one will not become someone else's loved one."

I got to witness one of the more bizarre coroner campaigns in history - back around 2000-2001, one of my friends noticed that Madison never had any Republicans running for that office. He and I were part of a nihilist/lunatic political party at UW, which had at one point included Integral, for older SA lore. He ran as basically a mad scientist, posters up of him covered in viscera, I can’t remember if he repeated the live vivisection stunt we’d done earlier, but you can imagine the direction it went. He got like 24% of the vote.

Hell, I was at the UW at that time and don't remember that at all, but I absolutely would've been one of those 24%.

You can get little caulking tools to clean up your caulk lines instead of using your finger. Makes it a little more uniform. Caulking is definitely a practice makes perfect kind of skill. I have gotten ok at it.
