Yup. "Tribalism" - and it's destroying our country. These people wake up every day thinking "how can I support my team at any cost of credibility?" rather than thinking independently about individual issues and forming an opinion.

Standard Time’s purpose is to tell where the sun is positioned in the sky, give or take 30 minutes.
ALT “Rick and Morty” meme. A small robot (labeled “Daylight Saving Time”) asks “What is my purpose?” Rick answers “You lie about the sun’s position in the sky to trick people into setting alarms an hour early every morning.” The robot looks downward at itself and responds, “Oh, my God.”

Americans are ready for permanent Standard Time, not permanent Daylight Saving Time.

Yesterday, I spoke on the House Floor about the dangers of enacting permanent daylight saving time and why my bill, the Sunshine for Our Kids Act, is the better solution.
I was a defender of Koeman in his first official spell when he rescued us from the dark ages of Hiddink to Advocaat. But his time at Barcelona showed that he was losing his way and shouldn’t have come back after Van Gaal. We need a fresh tactical coach.
BC Place is objectively Canada's nicest stadium, and has history behind it, like the 2010 Olympics. Today's game proves we should have held our opener there.
Absolutely mediocre game from the Dutch. Why did our coach pull all of our attackers when they were gaining steam. I'm happy Koeman brought us out of the dark ages in his first stint as coach, but he's coached poorly since returning.
You're shocked that the President who is trying to get his face in passports, money, and name on a performing arts center is making something all about him?

Zelensky : "My congratulations to Montenegro."
...
Zelensky : "F*CK!"
Congratulations to Montenegro - today we took a big step towards your accession to the European Union.
The decision to establish the Working Party to draft the new Accession Treaty is a key milestone.
For the first time since 2013, the EU starts the clock for the next enlargement.

Chatted with circadian rhythm expert Michael Antle about Alberta's move to permanent DST.
He says he was the UCP's first call during their consultation process- but that they ultimately ignored the evidence that says permanent standard time is better for our bodies.
“Social jetlag is the mismatch between what Danielle wants you to do and what your body wants you to do.”—Michael Antle
He says year-round daylight time in Alberta could worsen that mismatch, raising risks of diabetes & cardiovascular disease.

Lots of weird takes on the Hungarian election result from both left and right here.
Peter Magyar is a socially conservative immigration restrictionist who wants to cut taxes and double the defence budget. He criticized Orban for admitting too many guest workers, and wants to increase Hungary's already generous pro-natal incentives.
On virtually every issue, his platform is well to the right of centre, by European standards.
His foreign policy is to end Orban's alliance with Putin, remove the Hungarian veto on EU loans to Ukraine, normalize relations with the European Union while opposing more Euro integration, and strengthen relations with Eastern Europe's anti-Russian governments, e.g. Poland.
His election was not a sudden shift to the left, but a rejection of Orban's corruption, the failure of his interventionist / statist economic policies, and the humiliation of his relationship with Putin.
I think it's officially time to start the draft @BenMulroney movement for CPC leader, before the conservative movement decays any further. #cdnpoli
