Tucker Carlson says he'll no longer support the Republican Party
I worry, after seeing someone else mention it somewhere, the whole apology / change in tune is actually all build-up for a presidential run.

Maine progressive Platner renews call to remove conservative Supreme Court justices
"during good Behavior"
We have the right to remove blatantly corrupt Supreme Court Justices. If the system was functional, this would've happened as soon as the "free luxury vacations" and blatant preconcieved decisions came to light.

Has anyone ever met a laborer who has their nails done up?
I work as a package handler and use gel polish since it holds up surprisingly well. There are a few others at work who also usually have their nails done as well.

How the fuck did Alex Jones lose the defamation lawsuit in Magastan??
Let us not forget that the lawyer for Alex Jones sent a full copy of all Alex Jones' text messages for the past two years to the opposing counsel and did not claw them back or make any attempt or give any notice until the window passed. Meaning the opposing counsel got to sit there and call Jones out for lying on the stand, using his own words from his own private texts. It really hurt his credibility with the jury, I imagine.
p.s. Sorry you can't read whole source without a work around.

Looked up Thailands laws to double-check, dude is almost certainly gonna be executed for like, a weeks supply of meth that models were using to stay thin, no?
Not exactly a massive bust of a high-ranking violent drug trafficker.

Student Reading Ability Spikes After Removing Tech From Class
I do think no matter what reforms we do in schools, the subject being the most interesting / stimulating thing currently available must help a lot.
Also wonder if this means people are passing notes around again!

something to be reinvented
USPS is one of the many things that still makes me feel a large rush of civic pride in these dark times, among museums and libraries, firefighters, and good community spaces(parks, bike trails, hiking areas, etc).

To that point, as far as I know, he had denied having any relevant messages and not turned them over, despite being required to.

What are some good, casual mobile games.
Atomos is a simple game about combining atoms to make higher value atoms, a bit like 2048 but in a circle. Very easy to pick up and put down, have kept it on my phone for years and years.

Mainers Donate to and Rally With Platner After Reporting on Past Relationships | Common Dreams
I disagree with the concept of politicians only being acceptable if they have never said or done an objectionable thing. I think we need to be nominating people who've actually experienced struggle, pain, and growth.
There are a lot of people online who would say they've never held prejudice toward a person for who they are or their views, never made a big decision without all the information, never faced a point where they realized they made a bad choice, or were misled or misinformed. Even if that's true for them, it's certainly not true for the average US citizen. And when you cannot see yourself in a system, it's much harder to identify or feel represented by that system.
I understand the concerns some have of dishonesty in cases of large shifts in perspective. But that discounts our own ability to tell the difference between a shift in perspective and parroted statements for the purpose of tactical maneuvering.
This is personal perception but genuine shifts in perspective are usually broadly distrubuted in the persons mental model, affecting their perceptions in multiple areas. The person should be able to speak comfortably on the perspective they held before and where they feel it was flawed, either logically, ethically, morally, etc and their experience of undergoing the shift in perspective, and the outcome of their actions should follow-through on the spirit, not just the word, of that shift.
I'm not from Maine so I don't keep up closely on Platner, but the things I have seen indicate to me he is a human who has undergone a genuine change in perspective as he gained new understandings.
