has anyone tried HarmonyOS?

it’d be nice if they let Marco share more of the burden with Amy Gleason.

Another wide-ranging essay from @kltblom.bsky.social. On complaining as a source of societal strength and information, the essential role of intentionally independent but politically accountable agencies, why diversity is our strength and much more.

i’m not disputing your analysis. hope is a duty, not a prediction. i’m glad we’ve shared a pretty long road. look forward to better days down that shared road when you are ninety.

you can give it up if you want to. i'd say it's my often difficult job not to.

I think we want legislation to be popular, across party lines. Like electoral reform. There’s consensus the contemporary two party system has reached a cul-de-sac. @leedrutman.bsky.social’s already drafted text to remedy it, at least in the house. (i’d add approval voting for the Senate.)

lots easier than formal amendments. Biden got IRA, CHIPS, BIL through despite not controlling. it is possible to legislate through disagreement.

Yes! Exactly! And we can make changes, important changes, to that entire body of work, much more easily than extraordinarily cumbersome constitutional amendments.

“candor and honesty” were sarcastic here.

There is an incredible amount you can change the structure and form of our government with only an act of Congress. The US Constitution is only a sketch. It has a few immovable bones, but much of how the government is elected and operates is malleable.

why should we assume a Trump SEC won’t normalize Elon Musk levels of candor and honesty?
