Yeah, Entertainment Software Association representing all three.

I’m less surprised by that than the exclusion of video game consoles.
Didn’t know the Nintendo lobby was a formidable adversary up there.
It’s not like there was a Warren-level progressive in the running.
And if there were, we know from 2020 there’d still be cosplay communists insisting she wasn’t progressive enough.
She isn’t on the Republicans for Ukraine report card because (duh!) she isn’t a Republican, but the only criteria that would get her mildly dinged there would be that she didn’t sign Discharge Petition 9 or 10. Republicans with identical records as Omar get an A - Excellent rating.
Early into the 2022 invasion, she was among fifteen Progressive Democrats to vote against the Consolidated Appropriations Act, receiving some press attention on that. Around the same time, she voted against the Asset Seizure for Ukraine Reconstruction Act, criticizing it as a symbolic gesture substituted for practical assistance. Neither count on the above report card, but are examples Samuels might cite to impugn her record.
If I were in MN-5 voting singularly pro-Ukraine, there’s little for Samuels to genuinely improve upon, and the pretense that he could suggests disingenuousness on the issue I wouldn’t consider preferable.
iFixit noted yesterday, “Though the bill is strong and should make repairs more available for everyone, it allows manufacturers to continue to engage in parts pairing, a practice by which they limit repairs with software blocks. They can also combine parts into expensive assemblies, which makes repairs more expensive.”
Similarly doubt there’s any way to legislate against the dismal engineering that tempts a failure avalanche like the Ford F150 taillight horrorshow I posted a few days ago.
Odd. I wondered why friends from Chicago always order tuna salad whenever they visit.
Iowa Driver’s License Manual, page 10, § 2.8 Traffic Signals.

I flunked Sunday school, so I’ll take the item description on its word that it’s a “great way to give witness to God’s truth in the Holy Bible.”
Recommend also the seminal TMRC dictionary for several terms absent here, plus some memorably elegant definitions:
Kludge: A crock that works.
Crock: A kludge that doesn’t work.
Same again true of Peter Samson’s original 1959 and 1960 editions.
Ah, just picked up a T480s Thinkpad earlier this week, installed Manjaro Cinnamon. Writing this reply on it now.
Republican House Leader Matt Hall quoted in the article: "offering food stamps to the rich does nothing to put food on the tables of Michiganders in need.”
But distribute $1.5 billion to the rich through the Strategic Outreach and Attraction Reserve fund and Matt will reassure you that it helps create jobs.
As I write this reply, three buttons appear below the text dialog, “Reply,” “Cancel” and “Preview.” Not having deleted the text from dialog, nor committed to “Reply” or “Cancel,” if I now decide to view your profile on this page by clicking your user name, it has no effect. This appears true of all links except !main and those to off-site URLs, for example, the donation heart you mentioned.
I also observe the “Cancel” button is not offered when typing a reply to your initial post.
I found it curious, back in December, that Twitter suppressed tweets notifying followers of a Mastodon address, acknowledging no such threat from links to other social media companies, including a few that have in shorter work surpassed Twitter’s user base.
Similar behavior from Reddit briefly banning r/KbinMigration. There’s been a r/RedditAlternatives sub for over eleven years. Awkward if they suddenly decided that to be spam. For nearly as long, there’s been r/Facebook providing unofficial tech support for its users. Upon resolving their issue, one easily supposes they return to looking at ads on that hellhole rather than those on Reddit. That one, I’m confident, was subject to no interruption at all.
My preference is usually Chicago style, but this Detroit stuff will do.
I’m from the school that says Harris’ is settled law and it’s Walz’ vs. Walz’s that needs litigated.
