if there’s anything I would want to drill into the public consciousness it’s that there are almost always like a dozen ways to approach any given problem and some of them will be more effective than others and we have to stop acting like the questions around it are against fixing the issue

Do zdaj sem bil prijetno presenečen z vpisom na faks. Prijava prek e-uprave, rezultati mature na spletu, potrdilo o sprejemu dobil na majl, enostavno in super. Potem pa pride vpis (kar ma čez UL) in se začne odisejada. UI obup, navodila od faksa neuporabna, vse zmedeno. Škoda ker drugače perfektno.

Scotland raised its top income tax rate to 48% to make the rich pay more. New HMRC data suggests the result may have been the opposite: Scotland collected about £22m less. We can't be sure, but Scotland may have fallen over the Laffer curve. 🧵:

I feel like the way of dealing with such behaviour is to look these people right in the eye and say, very gently, "You think your right to park matters more than homes these children?" Then when they reply just repeat it with slightly different emphasis.

Hundreds slam proposals to turn car park into children's home in Bromley

Mislim, da je to pravilna odločitev. Ljubljana naj bo res leva, če se že rada pretvarja, da je. To bo pomemben test tako za občane kot za Levico, ki potrebuje trdno lokalno jedro in praktični prikaz svojih politik, če želi nagovarjati državo. Upam, da se najdejo kandidati še za mnoge druge občine.

Levica v župansko tekmo v Ljubljani pošilja sokoordinatorja stranke Luko Mesca. Ta je dejal, da se je za kandidaturo odločil, ker je po 20 letih županovanja Zorana Jankovića nastopil čas za korenito spremembo v mestu.

Senator Rufus Holman (R-OR) lost renomination to Wayne Morse in 1944. During the campaign, the isolationist who once praised Hitler for ending the control of "internationalists" over Germany responded to charges of antisemitism with "Now why would I be anti-Semitic? My own father was an Englishman."

In rejecting Holman and electing Morse, many Oregonians were convinced that they had rendered a double public service. Holman, big of girth, white of hair, loose of lip, distinguished himself in Congress mainly by his absence from roll-calls (he was absent when Congress declared war, and missed 148 out of 239 roll-calls in seven months of 1942). But he managed to be present enough to distinguish himself in the making of intemperate attacks. These he delivered in a gravely falsetto voice which the Oregon Journal likes to call “a high tenor of protest. ” High spot of the campaign came when Holman answered accusations of antiSemitism. Said he: “Now why would I be antiSemitic? My own father was an Englishman. I have relatives in England.” No New Dealer. Wayne Morse, a progressive Republican, had to convince skeptical GOPsters that his years on WLB had not tarred him with New Dealism. This he did, decisively. Morse, ex-Dean of the University of Oregon Law School, wrote nearly 100 major WLB decisions and helped frame the Little Steel Formula.

you don’t have to say nice things about lindsey graham we are past that cultural moment, largely thanks to the man he knew was one of the worst people alive and deliberately enabled at every turn he was a bad person and did awful things and you can just be honest about it

If the argument here is "Brad Lander is too safe as a Jew in diaspora to tell Israeli Jews how to keep safe," that sits uncomfortably with the argument that a Jewish state is necessary to keep Jews safe.

Tweet from Nadav Pollak: "If there something I can’t stand is Jewish politicians that need to gather votes lecturing Israel on how to deal with its security. 
Live in Israeli communities in the north or the south for one year and then tell me what Israel should do. 
You never had to fight for your family safety"

Zadnje 5x sem bil z vlakom LJ-CE točen oz. pod 5min zamude, zelo pohvalno. Me je pa kar presenetila cena danes. Povratna karta 16€, sabo imam kolo za vožnjo od/do postaje - 6€ za obe smeri, za nazaj sem na MV (navaden Stadler, ki je začel v AVS), je 4€ doplačila. Skupaj 26€, to je imo kar veliko.

This was also the most “how would we report this in another country?” Moment - “the candidate with fewer total votes won because the court (including some judges his father picked) determined he won a plurality in a state where his brother was governor”

My first formative political experience was seeing all the adults not be able to tell the difference between Gore and Bush, and letting Bush’s brother and the Supreme Court give the presidency even though he didn’t actually win.

Window into the mocking with which foreign media is treating the situation. The latest on the live of Le Monde, France’s paper of record: “We’re being told Trump wants to file an appeal with Infantino alleging that the Belgian team played soccer.”

“On nous dit dans l’oreillette que Donald Trump souhaite lancer un recours auprès de Gianni Infantino en accusant la sélection belge d’avoir joué au football ce mardi.”

I can't stand the nationalism that accompanies the World Cup, including the left-wing version which involves posting about the worst atrocities the other team's nation has ever committed. And its cuisine. There's no such thing as progressive xenophobia
