Governor called a special election to coincide with the date of the primary in June. So the parties will pick two candidates and then CO-4 will pick a house rep for 6 months and then another election for a full term in November. The real question is if it means bobo the clown will leave her current seat to run which would mean two special elections. But first the party has to nominate her
I think his normal chill vibe is way different than his host mode. Hosts have to bring a lot of weirdly excited energy to their platform and you have to be pretty charismatic to pull it off. Don’t like him too much as a host but as a dude he seems cool
I also liked his character up until the very end (no fault of his, just didn’t like the writing). Wish he had powered through in starfleet or at the very least became a regular scientist or something instead of space Jesus lol

Because I’m not arguing with OP, I’m largely agreeing with them. Generating silly images and doing school kids homework is not the promised land of AI the corporate overlords keep promising. But that’s not to suggest it has zero uses. Crypto and AI are apples and oranges and while I’m not exactly sure what you mean by the arguments being the same, it would be possible for the same argument to be true for AI and not true for crypto, because AI has much more obvious use cases to benefit the common good.
I’m not mad at you at all, i basically agreed with you. i was just engaging in a more nuanced discussion…. Or trying to. the replies here seem fairly hostile so I think I’ll see myself out of this community.
Why does Mr rogers look like a young man with an old filter on ha. I mean that in a good way! He literally just looks like somebody through a filter or old person makeup on him, he still had it all the way to the end!
You can’t out plant meat cultivation indefinitely. Until GHG capture makes a generational leap or two in capacity the only sustainable solution to feed the world is vast or total reduction in meat consumption.
Colorado didn’t declare every state is required to take it off. It decided to take his name off their ballot. I don’t get the argument. It’s true if enough states do it it has a national outcome but so what? That is deciding it nationally. States decide how to run their own elections, I don’t know why states rights aren’t being claimed here given how popular that move usually is lol.
