Putin and Musk are known to speak directly very often, and Musk's decision to throttle

Keep your dogs on leashes people. Golden retriever ran across the street at my leashed dogs today and I got bit. Yes, even your cuddly, lovely golden isn't 100% predictable.

I can’t fucking believe all of you want to give Ken Paxton six years in the Senate by using trans people’s outsized cultural impact to get celebrities and other influential figures to kill Democratic momentum, when trans kids in Texas are BEGGING you to support Talarico What is WRONG with us?

This was a great read and helps bridge the gap between two seemingly contradictory things: polls aren't as bad as the reputation seems right now but also there are polls with results that are wildly off. The point Elliott makes around evaluating pollsters on modeling is great, but how?

Bit of a wonky post, but here I share a lot about how I’m thinking about polls and polling error these day www.gelliottmorris.com/p/2026-09-15...

The extremes of the AI discourse really are a great reflection of our times. Such a lack of nuance everywhere. It's really freaking good at some tasks, it takes skill and judgement to use, it's improving rapidly, and it probably violated a lot of ethical norms to be trained.

"The unpopular President calls upon government regulators of the media to make the bad polls disappear" is a statement that can only possibly describe an authoritarian regime.

The US President calls on the FCC to do something about polls he finds uncomfortable.

Feels like no one actually read this. JVL's point was that the DSA org itself has released some statements that blame Democrats for Republicans' insanity. One example he points to is labeling Joe Biden a warmonger and perpetrator of Genocide. Another solely blaming Dems for Trump.

I remember when Bill Clinton—a FORMER president—met Obama’s sitting AG on an airplane and it was a massive scandal. Now, here’s Trump’s new AG just doing Trump political rallies like it’s NBD.
