I'm not a smart political analyst, nor do I understand the things the final undecided voter in the Wisconsin general will be thinking. But I do know that if you call it "woke 1" you're not focusing on the right stuff.
at first, it might seem like focusing on a dumb thing (“seriously? an old tweet about thanksgiving??”), but it does speak to how @francescahongwi.bsky.social is likely to govern—that she’ll take people seriously who say they’ve been harmed by oppressive systems.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2d agoFrancesca Hong was asked last night by Kaitlin Collins if she still believes Thanksgiving should be canceled. Her answer was not 'no.'
If you're a normy centrist dem elected or a pundit and you think her answer wasn't great because she still believes Thanksgiving white washes some of our foundational sins as a country, did you disagree when colonist statues were being removed? Why are you upset today?
Marcho@marchomotion.bsky.social · 2d agoFrancesca Hong is right about Thanksgiving and everyone else is being really weird about it.

This- “…the evidence is quite clear that voters don’t think Democrats are too extreme. They think Democrats are weak”.
Act like you want to win, support your fav in the primary, and then support the primary winner. The democratic party isn't facing a schism like the GOP did. The only people being cut out are the Sinemas, Manchins, and Fettermans. Good. They did more damage to the party and Biden's agenda than maga.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2d agoNew in PN: Moderate Democrats have a choice to make "They can spend the next three months reinforcing Republican messaging about their party & making it less likely Dems take power. Or they can put the 'battle for the soul of the party' off for a while and do what they can to help their party win."
bruh now music is like games where an album has to be patched and have updates
Time, production bottlenecks because this isn't the heyday of vinyl and there are only so many working production facilities any more and the queues are long - even for big artists. The machines are huge and vintage and parts don't exist for maintenance, they must be special-made, plus ...
The Guardian@theguardian.com · 2d agoA pressing issue: why are vinyl albums becoming so different from their digital versions?
Ray Harryhausen's stop-motion skeletons in Jason and the Argonauts are amazing even now. He animated the sequence by himself for more than four months -- without computers or even an easy way to check his work. We're looking into how he did it: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/how-ray-ha...
In case you're wondering, the median income in the US is $81,604, while in California it is $100,100: +23% The median home price in the US is $372,955, while in California it is $775,549: +108% This is a big reason why 45% of Americans who sleep on the street do so in California.
I can’t get over how bad this Todd McFarlane dog is
Let’s assume Gaines and Cunningham actually care for women’s sports. The people funding them unambiguously do not and would be glad to derail the WNBA’s immense promise.
Ben Collins@bencollins.bsky.social · 3d agoA good commissioner steps in now before every WNBA game becomes a rightwing performance space, like school board meetings were during peak CRT. You just have to throw the hammer down on this. Do not give them an inch.
This is a great write-up, and it lead me to the Casuals podcast where they break down the WNBA trans panic Sophie Cunningham stuff. m.youtube.com/watch?v=fP43...

All the hysteria and rhetoric that consumed a community around these bike lanes ended and now no one talks about them and people use them (including those with mobility devices) all the time for work, school, play and everything in between. Change is hard for some people but we all adapt.
