Two polls conducted a year apart with completely different question wordings show slightly different levels of support for legalization in New York (62% vs 56%) and this is how the nation's leading anti-legalization group tries to frame it.
The problem for opponents of marijuana commercialization: there is no institutional voice making a sensible, evidence-based case for the workable alternatives.
The money opposed to legalization is going to people and groups rooted in an 80s/90s mindset, which has really been a gift for legalization: compared to that, commercial legalization is completely reasonable.

Let's talk about rigging: here's an amazing new study that traces how corporations convert charitable donations into political influence washingtonpost.com/business/2019/…
A team of researchers headed by Marianne Bertrand at the University of Chicago compiled a dataset of A) every donation to a non-profit by a Fortune 500 company and B) every public comment on a regulation submitted to regulations.gov between 2003 and 2015
They made some surprising findings: First, when a firm donated to a non-profit, that non-profit became 2 to 4 times more likely to comment on a rule that the firm also commented on. Interesting! washingtonpost.com/business/2019/…

Here she is: the sole survivor from the original cricket box. She will not be fed to the lizard and instead will retire to a sterilite box, to live the remainder of her days in opulence and luxury. What shall we name her?
Alright time to vote. You’ve got one hour!

Thank you, Geoff (Berman), for that kind introduction, and thank you for your leadership as United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York. And thank you also to United States Attorney Richard Donoghue from the Eastern District of New York.
It is wonderful to be in New York during the holiday season. I’m told that this is the best time of year to visit—but I must say I am looking forward to Thanksgiving in Des Moines.

New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio: “This clearly is an act of terror, attempting to undermine our free press and leaders of this country through acts of violence”

1. You've written what I was thinking. I'll add: What China knows, Pakistan knows as well via the Beijing-Islamabad axis.
I remain convinced that Imran Awan is connected to Pakistani ISI who would also connect with China.
I theorize a concerted effort between Pakistan and China.
2. On April 29, 2016, when DNC became aware its servers had been penetrated, an emergency meeting was held between Debbie Wasserman-Schultz, Amy Dacey, DNC’s Technology Director, Andrew Brown, and Michael Sussman, a Perkins Coie lawyer.
Why was a Perkins Coie lawyer involved?
3. Sussman took control of the meeting. The three most important questions, Sussman declared, were what data was accessed, how was it done, and how can it be stopped?
Nobody asked "who did it?"

UNFAITHFUL SHEPHERDS

"Many years ago, the then president of The National Council of Churches warned that the danger of the great religious awakening taking place in our country, might become fanatical and be carried into our political and business life!
"Perhaps this was a fair assessment, that is, if you conflate #Christian #Zionism with religious awakening. Unfortunately, these "fanatical" #Evangelicals have 0 faith in the #Christian religion to which they give empty lip service--while paying homage to those who hate #Christ.
"For lack of faith in the actual #Bible, #Evangelicals make Scofield’ Notes, (Scofield! A drunkard and a con-man allied with the Satanist, Darby) --#Evangelicals have turned Scofield’s NOTES into a DIABOLICAL FORCE in our #national life.

(1) 2017.
(2) Let's take some time out and look back at our winners and losers of 2017, shall we?
(3) Donald Trump started the year as the President-elect, preparing for his inauguration as President of the United States, while also dealing with the dossier's sudden existence, and reducing Meryl Streep to a talking point.

Almost all of the Road Runner cartoons are available via the @BoomerangToons app.

I subscribed for $5 & decided I'm gonna watch & tweet about 'em all in chronological order, even the later, terrible ones, for which I have an irrational affection.

Here we go.

Boomerang lists them alphabetically not chronologically so Chuck Jones masterpieces sit side-by-side with 1960s atrocities (& later 'revival' attempts.)

I am going to start at the beginning. I will also be including Wile E. Coyote/Bugs Bunny & Ralph Wolf/Sam Sheepdog shorts, FYI
September 17, 1949: "Fast And Furry-ous"

Chuck Jones intended this short to be a parody of cat & mouse "chase" cartoons. Instead, he accidentally created the definitive chase cartoon series of all time.
