…or you could try to outspend the progressive by tens of millions of dollars again and get racist as shit one more time just to see if it works this time
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
The more progressive candidate won the Democratic Senate nomination, and progressives (along with anyone else who likes El-Sayed) being happy with that is perfectly reasonable. The margin he won by matters little, and there’s a much bigger, much higher stakes fight happening now.
oh, this is great to see—Liberati is a gross socially conservative dynasty pol who tried to get Whaley, a progressive, disqualified for not filing under her deadname. Harris+1.5 so she starts out favored
Uncrewed@uncrewed.bsky.social · 15h agoFirst results in the Michigan #HD02 primary just dropped: Joanna Whaley- 56.4% Frank Liberati- 33.7% Gary Schlack- 9.9% Whaley, the evangelical pastor-turned-trans activist, gets out to an early lead
This week’s premium episode is a freewheeling discussion touching on whether Trump can steal the midterms, why elite liberal lawyers are representing the demons at Kalshi, and whether SCOTUSblog is headed to ruin.

Peter, Rhiannon, and Michael take a break from case law to discuss the possibility of stolen midterms, the evil lawyers defending Kalshi and

Folks I won’t tell you not to feel your feelings, but this is rage bait. He’s talking about expanding beyond politics into things like live sports.
The Verge@theverge.com · 2d agoBluesky's new CEO Toni Schneider on the platform's reputation for being a liberal bubble: "Yes, we definitely want that to change. It is already changing. It certainly wasn’t designed to attract one specific group of people."
nice try, but i've already portrayed you as the sensorially overwhelmed child and myself as the world weary parent
Not going to indulge in child related discourse just want to say this is a fucking incredible photo and i will be tactically deploying it when i want to insult someone's taste for the foreseeable future

Updated our 'Do Moderates Do Better?' paper When you analyze the question rigorously (and don't assume correlation is causation), you find that moderates & non-moderates perform ~equally well in the Trump era Love working with @adambonica.bsky.social
It's also INCREDIBLY DUMB. Often the key to swing-state success is the sense that a politician isn't bound to one party, that they think for themselves, that they're willing to express disapproval of both sides. By maintaining a broadly left-of-center coalition, you give them space to do that.
Here's what drives me crazy about this: It's literally been the guiding philosophy of the entire Democratic leadership for 30 years! Build the entire party around the platform that will appeal to swing districts. It's barely even repackaged! Why does she keep acting like it's "her" theory?!
Parker Molloy@parkermolloy.com · 3d agoI really hate Elissa Slotkin's patronizing "my theory of the case is that what works in the middle of the country will work on the coasts, but not the other way around" shit. It's one of her canned lines that she uses in her eventual attempt to run for president.
Not the most important thing here, but why don't NC, SC, GA, FL count as "the coasts." All four states are on the coast. TX, LA, MS, AL are coastal states too, but the southeast states are on a main ocean coast. Looks like just another way to say red/rural = real & good; blue/urban = fake & bad.

sauced tiger woods: fuuuuuck im so messed up its over for me. i need to call trump it's fucking over hammered tony romo, laying horizontally on your couch; i can drink 15 of these and feel fine you know. i love when bugs bunny dresses like a girl hahaha
Funny, but there’s actually some truth to this, because [premise of joke you just made]
lol I originally read this as being in a laudatory tone "Immigrants crushed the slave power, hell yeah brother!"

because of a weird quirk of physics (time runs linearly, and in only one direction) Sting’s 2000 hit song Desert Rose is NOT actually on Pure Moods Vols I or II
you gotta think at least some of the people making front facing videos or little zines or whatever talking up their expertise and shitting on Nolan’s The Odyssey are just clout chasing
A real question: were classicists acting this insane about O Brother, Where Art Thou when it came out
chili crisp and chinese chili oil have become super popular in the last few years but did you know that mexicans also have a chili oil and it's fucking delicious? might make some salsa macha in the next few days. watch this space for updates!
All the Fauci stuff is a modern day version of the POW/MIA stuff after Vietnam - a way to try to rewrite the history of a huge failure of conservative ideology to be instead a story about how liberals and foreigners stabbed us in the back.
as a straight dude I agree too. it's evidence of a weak will and/or poor attachment to good values, and we've all got LGBT friends or family. more practically I've seen way too many people go batshit fucking crazy down the transphobia waterslide
Max Dubler 🏳️🌈@maxdubler.com · 7d agoSquishiness on trans rights is a dealbreaker for me because (a) it’s a straightforward issue of personal freedom and bodily autonomy much like abortion, and (b) the right is obviously coming after us cis gays next.
UEFA has just unanimously decided to boycott both men's and women's World Cups over FIFA's attempt to sell the global game to private equity. Damn.
setting aside data centers, environmental concerns, any sci-fi/fantasy AI-apocalypse concerns, and concerns about built in bigotry or using AI for evil ends like drone targeting; discounting all that, i'd be for banning LLMs just based on lazy people overusing them and it making those people stupid
