Absolutely wild that El-Sayed got more votes AND a bigger margin in Gerald Ford’s hometown and former Republican stronghold of Grand Rapids than he did in hippie lefty Ann Arbor. AES +43 in Grand Rapids, +31 in Ann Arbor.

good reminder that before the counting is over, election results don’t tighten. at no point is anyone trailing. nobody moves closer. they’re just tabulating the polls. it’s a fixed number that just isn’t done yet. to say otherwise is bad journalism but even worse math.

Chicago’s emoji forecast according to- Wunderground: ⛈️🌤️🌤️☀️🌦️🌦️🌦️🌤️🌤️ Apple weather: 🌧️🌧️🌧️🌧️⛈️⛈️⛈️🌧️🌧️ When will Apple learn that a 10% chance of rain is just the NWS covering their asses and not an actual prediction 😭😭😭

The Trump years have turned this question into a proxy for "do you hate foreigners?" It makes sense, as the face of protectionism is the most prolific racist and xenophobe in modern American history, but it's amazing how quickly it happened.

DSA-aligned Democrats are now the most pro-free-trade voting bloc in the United States, in an incredible turn of events www.theargumentmag.com/p/who-suppor...

A graph showing whether voters support or oppose free trade by party identification, showing 54% of "Dems favorable to DSA" strongly support free trade agreements

Bringing this back bc multiple people DMed me to say they agree and, despite having a positive self-image, don’t engage with FCF for this reason. To the well-meaning response “but all _____ are fat on Friday!”, I get it but why are we still forcing people to claim conventional desirability? (1/3)

I hate talking about Bluesky on Bluesky but, gays, I must say that “pretty” is a lot more fun and accessible than “fat.”
