She would have been a lousy candidate. Talarico was the right choice.
Sahil Kapur@sahilkapur.bsky.social · 2h agoAsked Jasmine Crockett last night in St. Louis if she thinks James Talarico can turn Texas blue this fall. “I don't know,” she said. She doesn’t buy the polls. “I watch money… When I look at the money, if Republicans start spending money in Texas, then I'll be convinced.” MORE:
Progressives really should have lined up an alternative to Klobuchar in the Minnesota governor's race because any one of them would beat Mike Lindell.
Heartland Signal@heartlandsignal.bsky.social · 2h agoGOP MN gubernatorial candidate Mike Lindell (R) says he will crack down on protesters in Minneapolis since it has "some of the strictest protest laws in the nation." #Farmfest
This should make you rush to sell SpaceX shares. There is no plausible way this makes any kind of economic sense for anything.

if establishment candidates want to start winning primaries again all you have to do is say that rich people have too much money and that youll prosecute trump admin staffers and republicans that have broken the law
There are limits to what money can do. Haley Stevens had the personality of Tracy Flick and the affect of the 'Chris Farley Show' character. One of the very worst I've ever seen run for major office.
#StupidSuez@diplomatofnight.com · 12h agoNo matter the margin the story is that Haley Stevens got $70M of support, more than $30M of it from a single organization, and still lost.
On the one hand it's impressive he won despite being blitzed by record AIPAC cash. OTOH Haley Stevens was a truly terrible opponent.
Brad Reed@bwreed.bsky.social · 9h ago1. I'm glad he won. 2. This was extremely close and he's got real work to do before the general election. For the love of God do not take the Chapo 'bend the knee' approach to courting Stevens voters.

AES will likely win but if the margins are narrow he should think he's significant work to do. He's a smart bloke and I have confidence he can pull it out.
G Elliott Morris@gelliottmorris.com · 16h agoBased on current returns, Stevens needs at least +20 margin out of Wayne to close the gap. Could narrow based on the e-day - absentee breakdown She’s at +1 right now
Yes. OTOH all the AIPAC money I the world couldn't make Haley Stevens a winning candidate.

Why would Hamas, or any Palestinian, ever agree to be completely disarmed.
The Associated Press@apnews.com · 24h agoIsraeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says Israel will not withdraw from Gaza until Hamas has been completely disarmed.
I remember thinking to myself circa 2023: 'What if we could just replace Biden and Harris with nationwide referendums legalizing pot and abortion?'
Stephen Wolf@stephenwolf.bsky.social · 17h agoRepublican power grabs in Kansas and Missouri are going down in flames with 18-25% of votes reported so far. Missouri's Amendment 4 aimed to make citizen-initiated constitutional amendments practically impossible. Kansas' Amendment 1 was designed to flip the state Supreme Court to ban abortion
Keep it up my dude. Don't drop out!

This is one of the few really good accounts on Threads, an absolutely perfect parody of the Personal Finance Poster Bro.
Writing fiction in any genre should be a purely human exercise. If you use AI to generate *any* dialog, story ideas, character shapes, *anything* creative, you're betraying the very concept of artistic expression. This is a bright flashing red line for me. www.wired.com/story/the-bi...
‘Everyone Is Doing It’: The Truth About AI in Hollywood
Puck’s Matthew Belloni says AI has quietly become part of everyday filmmaking. The battle now isn’t whether Hollywood will use the technology—it’s who controls what’ll come next.

1/ Anyway: I think have a solid track record of calling out people I think are sucky candidates among both factions in the Dem Party this cycle. Haley Stevens, Andrew Cuomo, Janet Mills on the establishment side, Platner on the progressive side.
This is the epitaph for the republic.

Hong : DSA :: Haley Stevens : Dem Establishment. Both are truly bad candidates.

I'm going on record to say they would be insane to try this. Even Orbán did not do something this radical. And the response would be a general strike until the new Congress is seated.
Asawin Suebsaeng@swin24.bsky.social · 2d ago“Democrats and their allies say this nightmare scenario is unlikely – but they’re taking it seriously. President Trump knows about the Jan. 3 scenario, though his level of interest in it is unclear, sources say.”

Manya Koetse@manyapan.bsky.social · 2d agoChinese viral AI videos are turning foreigners into villains, flooding Chinese social media. They depict foreigners as threats to China’s social, moral, and national order. Strong, confident Chinese people confront, violently beat, and humiliate them in defense of their country.
