wait did multiple states do that thing where they rewrite the state constitution to say "we ban slave labor but also we define prison labor as not slavery"? Tennessee was the one I knew, but Alabama did as well? what's up with that timing?

edit: should have done cursory searching before posting. https://www.al.com/news/2022/10/alabama-1-of-5-states-to-decide-on-slavery-loopholes-for-prison-labor-in-upcoming-election.html it's a coordinated push, looks like

it reminds me of how google will trot out all kinds of arcane metrics to show that their search result quality is better than it's ever been any time enough people start saying "Google's poo poo now, right?". if people are dissatisfied with their results it doesn't matter whether the results are satisfying some internal metric nobody cares about

it's all so... self-defeating too. if you alienate your base because you don't want to scare off donors, then what are you using the donation money for? theoretically you need that money to convince people to vote for you. but you pissed them all off to get it.

My undergrad institution's in-state tuition was 5k per year when I started. Out-of-state was 22k per year. Not including any money for food, housing, materials. That was at a flagship campus for one of the cheaper public university systems.

That policy seems like it only exists for people who started college and dropped out after a year, or possibly only a single semester.

what do these things cost for the cheapest admission, $1,000 per plate? Do you think they'll have silent auctions or is that for poor person fundraisers?

depends on how many perks you get. For example, a recent Biden fundraiser had this price list:

Willa Rogers posted:

Who's going? :dance:





Biden Victory Fund accepts contributions of up to $929,600 from a person and $415,000 from a multicandidate committee (“PAC”). The first $6,600/$10,000 from a person/PAC will be allocated to Biden for President, with the first $3,300/$5,000 designated for the primary and the next $3,300/$5,000 for the general election. The next $41,300/$15,000 from a person/PAC will be allocated to the DNC. The next $510,000/$255,000 from a person/PAC will be split equally among the Democratic state parties from: AK, AL, AR, AZ, CA, CO, CT, DC, DE, FL, GA, HI, IA, ID, IL, IN, KS, KY, LA, MA, MD, ME, MI, MN, MO, MS, MT, NC, ND, NE, NH, NJ, NM, NV, NY, OH, OK, OR, PA, RI, SC, SD, TN, TX, UT, VA, VT, WA, WI, WV, and WY. Any additional funds will be allocated to the DNC, subject to applicable contribution limits.

A contributor may designate his or her contribution for a particular participant by contacting contact@joebiden.com. The allocation formula above may change if following it would result in an excessive contribution. Contributions will be used in connection with federal elections, may be spent on any activity as each committee determines in its sole discretion, and will not be earmarked for any particular candidate. Federal law requires us to use our best efforts to collect and report the name, mailing address, occupation, and name of employer of individuals whose contributions exceed $200 per election cycle. Biden Victory Fund does not accept contributions from corporations or their PACs, unions, federal contractors, national banks, those registered as federal lobbyists or under FARA, SEC-named executives of fossil fuel companies, or foreign nationals.

my favorite thing about people trying to unskew polls is that instead of like, digging into the demographic information and getting the raw data and changing how it was reweighted--you know, what you'd actually do if you wanted to correct an unrepresentive sample--they just pick some new numbers at random that fit the narrative they believe in
