Feel like a polling error of ten percent that critically underestimates the white rurals should basically scare the fuck out of all factions of the Democratic Party!

Here's your postsocialist image of the day: a colorful cruise ship construction labeled Solidarity at the water park at Solidarity Lake Park in Beijing

Seeing ppl say McMorrow might have won this, I think that's very possible and if so, you really gotta give it up to Lis Smith

Sometimes takes about Israel are not antisemitic, they're just stupid

I was mystified by Sawant running in the district of everyone who hates her, and it turns out that was a good instinct!

Looks like a 10-15 point polling miss in Michigan regardless of who wins. And people have been writing a lot of electability takes using this data. It’s dangerous out there folks be safe

Not happy about it but there was a reason Bush lost to Bell the first time and she shouldn't have run again

At what point does GOP leadership arrange for a little accident for Max Miller? Do they think they have seats to spare this year?

Except the blob's reaction was, "Is the stove hot? Maybe we just need a higher heat tolerance. Nobody could have predicted the heat of the stove. Isn't it cool actually?"

It is kinda weird that the American public response to the Iraq war being kinda a disaster was "oh stove is hot! let's not do that again" but the blob's reaction was "oh stove is hot! this makes me very angry at the neighboring, larger, stove providing some of the heat, I will touch that one now"

Hey Max, I have a two year old, and I indeed have a process I would like to put you through

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 19h ago

MAX MILLER: She's 2.5 years old. She doesn't have the ability to articulate what you just said. TAPPER: But you just told me that she said she was scared to go to mommy's house. Now you're saying she's not capable of saying "Daddy kill you"? MILLER: What about due process?

I dunno, they spent 40 million to crush him and he's beating Stevens 2 to 1, but sure, maybe he'll just eek it out against Mike Rogers in 2026

He writes this when as we speak, there are camps in the US holding tens of thousands of detainees. Hic Rhodus, hic saltus, Walter.

These guys are freaking out over their own imaginations again.

Or it may be bc this guy has a decades long track record of making promises that don't come true

The Economist@economist.com · yesterday

“People don’t realise that what I’m saying will come to pass,” Elon Musk tells The Economist in an interview. That may be because his future-gazing ranges from the unsettling to the downright weird

at some point we're going to have to regulate media platforms

🧪 Medical professionals are losing the attention war on YouTube. In a 3,958-video sample, independent creators produced the lowest quality content but captured the highest viewership using exaggeration. #MedSky

The apparently moderately widespread delusion that Adams means anything to anyone outside of NYC is totally mystifying to me

Hell Gate *subscribe today!*@hellgatenyc.com · 2d ago

This past weekend, former Mayor Eric Adams was in Wisconsin Rapids—population 18,654—trying to convince residents that they should allow a real estate developer to build a data center in the heart of their town. The public hearing did not go well. hellgatenyc.com/eric-adams-i...

A party that was full-throatedly pro-trans instead of kinda embarassed about it might make something of this!

e.w. niedermeyer@niedermeyer.online · 2d ago

chopping it up with the transphobes before the Fire-Fever game on Friday really hammered this home: they want to endlessly "debate" abstract gender concepts because they have absolutely no way to implement any kind of sports-gender policy that doesn't require a whole lot of child genital inspection

it’s pretty obvious that a lot of people remember that COVID lockdowns were unpleasant and from there just extrapolate that they were therefore bad policy

It is not just the Right that has had a vested interest in ignoring Reform's obvious and visible weaknesses. A lot of centrist commentators and pols *like* Reform's politics and very much would like to pretend they are inevitable!

George Eaton@georgeeaton.bsky.social · 2d ago

It’s long been clear that Reform is beatable – Farage’s terrible personal ratings, toxic brand, mass tactical voting against them. The narrative that victory for them is inevitable was based on superficial analysis + wishful thinking on the right.

Hamilton discourse is invariably some of the most annoying discourse on the internet because it is usually people who do not like musical theater in any context talking about how they don't like Hamilton, basically because it is musical theater

I get that people are concerned about this, but the question we should be asking is "can Mike Rogers outrun a D+10 national environment?" I really think the answer is "no", because he couldn't win in 2024, and that was nowhere near as good for Dems

Our lives in the diaspora are simply better than theirs in Israel and it drives them crazy

Btw if you think the choice was exclusively between lockdowns and let it rip, that tells me you had an exclusively Western experience of the pandemic

One of the maddening things about this, that the centrists fail to understand, is that Hasan *IS NOT IN* the Democratic Party

Mediaite@mediaite.com · 3d ago

James Carville Tells Fox News He’s Out of the Democratic Party if Hasan Piker Stays: ‘One of Us is Going to Leave’

The reason the gravity of these crimes aren’t more widely understood is that people we should expect to respond appropriately to them have largely abdicated their duty.

Secretary of Defense Rock@sodrock.bsky.social · 3d ago

Still can’t over the fact that the president of the United States just told an entire state to pound sand after getting cyberattacked by a foreign adversary because they didn’t vote for him and it was treated like a Tuesday lol

Relitigating COVID does not seem to me to be a winning message. For better and mostly for worse, nobody wants to think about that shit anymore!

We only have streaming in the apartment we're renting in Beijing and God it stinks! I don't want to watch any of this garbage! I just want to come across it while flipping channels!

Brendel@brendelbored.bsky.social · 3d ago

It’s hard to explain but tv was better when you couldn’t watch the show you wanted whenever you wanted to watch it and most of the shows were worse and the TVs were worse and the entire experience was worse, that’s when it was better

look, this guy is just an online nobody and a clown and it doesn't do any good to try and extrapolate anything here, but it is crazy to think about how many ostensible liberals are like this. the certitude, while likely having no clue what the facts are. talking about stuff but no curiosity at all

i work at youtube, where you can watch anyone who has ever died on camera and get a half dozen neo nazi channels in response to searching “shrek cookie frosting recipe 2026.” please do not use women in our videos unless you’re complaining a brown one got a job somewhere

a bunch of popular ASMR artists lost their channels forever this week, after YouTube cited them for violating terms against "sexually gratifying" content: www.404media.co/youtube-asmr...

God also chose the Kingdom of Israel, and bc of its arrogance and immoral actions it was punished.

"No," he said, "millions. One Jewish life, it's 10 million [Palestinians]." Challenged on the racism of his statement, he did not deny it. "Yes, I know," he replied. "But this is the truth, because God chose us [and] because of this you are jealous." This man is a lawyer. www.bbc.com/news/article...
