I mean, maybe it’s technically “darker” the literal sense, but any unfinished concrete is going to scatter light differently than glossy blue paint. And I don’t have anything against cleaning and maintaining the pool. It’s normal maintenance that has to happen every so often.
But if this doesn’t look tacky as shit and make it harder to see the reflection, I’ll eat a hat.


A reflecting pool needs to be dark on the bottom. If it’s bright blue, too much light bounces off the bottom and overwhelms the reflection.
Literally nothing Trump does isn’t fucking stupid and wasteful.


There’s literally no reason to use these ever.


As was intended. Fascists see the brain drain as a victory, because stupid masses are easier to control.
Not that I’m criticizing the educators who leave. They are being forced out, and it’s entirely reasonable to abandon Texas.


That’s fair, and I agree it’s better to see dems doing anything, if only for the novelty of it.


I mean, it’s moderately encouraging to see Dems doing something to fight Trump, but Congress doesn’t have the authority to utilize the mechanisms in the 25th amendment to remove Trump. They can issue articles of impeachment (again), but there are too many conservative senators and representatives protecting Trump for that to be viable, either.
This bill won’t go anywhere, and even if it did pass, it wouldn’t have any effect.


Yep, impeachment is a (slightly) more viable strategy, but impossible without major Dem gains in the midterms. Like I’m not even sure there are enough Senate seats up for reelection.


That is a responsible and optimistic worlview, AdolphSchmitler.


“Idiots! You should pan fry the mirepoix in a little oil to soften them and get all the toasty flavor before you add it to the soup,” you say to the cannibal from inside the pot.


Welcome to the post-truth reality. Everyone everywhere is being disingenuous. Sincerity is a self-imposed handicap, holding yourself to a higher standard than the people who would subjugate you for fun and profit.


Royalties? Did they think there’s some descendants of an ancient Babylonian mathematician living large on the residuals?
That was fast.
We have a shit load of laws designed to prevent fascism. They aren’t preventing fascism.


The point is that the ones who don’t know should know. That’s like the entire point of news. If the article keeps it vague, then people who are barely paying attention might think that an actual judge made a legal ruling based on the law. They might assume that a federal judge is non-partisan and independent.


Yeah, these articles shouldn’t say “a federal judge…” “Trump lackey Aileen Cannon has once again protected her masters.”


My kids get their assignments, turn them in, and receive their grades on four different apps, plus there’s a version for the parents.


Where? Fuck you, that’s where. You want your kid to be on time for their activities? Surrender all privacy, because what are you going to do? Keep your kid out of sports and clubs?


Seems to have worked then.
Also, kicking down the door leaves evidence and usually require some sort of justification or approval. If they have a key to a backdoor, they don’t have to tell anyone they were inside, or ask for permission to use it.
