Quotidian dumbass, tech functionary, Minneapolitan. He/him.

Regular reminder that at least 5 sitting GOP Senators could be ejected *right now* per reasonable read of "Inhabits" in Article 1, §3 of the Constitution: - Marshall (KS, lives in FL) - Tuberville (AL, lives in FL) - McCormick (PA, lives in CT) - Sheehy (MT, lives in MN) - Hawley (MO, lives in VA)

GTA 6 is going to come out and more than one person is going to play it ask "who is this even for?" every Grand Theft Auto game is made for a twenty four year old stoner in, and this is crucial, 2007

If Kamala Harris had gone to Beijing and proclaimed that the US is in decline, pledged increased Chinese ownership of US farmland, crippled exports of critical raw materials, gave up Taiwan, and cut out early, MCAS Iwakuni would have scrambled F-35s with shootdown orders for AF1.

Again the reason that Dems can't play hardball is that they instinctively know deep in their bones that they have nothing prepared for higher rungs of escalation. Every city councilor that even floated a .0005% reduction of police funding got a visit from the cops promising to murder their kids.

NEWS --> Top Virginia Dems have decided against exercising a procedural end-run around the State Supreme Court ruling that cost Dems four House seats, the Dem leader of the state senate tells me. This will anger Dems who wanted an aggressive response. Details here: newrepublic.com/article/2102...

The retreat of Daily Wire-types has created a right-wing streamers power vacuum that, to ny understanding, has been filled by: - Anorexic meth user that deforms his skull with a hammer - Guy who dresses up as a cowboy and holds black people at gunpoint to call them the hard-R - Nick Fuentes, again

Currently imagining explaining to someone in a coma since 2017 that a key swing state Senate primary had its 80-year-old frontrunner drop out, essentially conceding the race to a Blackwater goon with Nazi tattoos, and then being strangled when you clarify it's the Democratic race
