amazing new idea i've never seen any democrat propose before

World-renowned Pokémon researcher Professor Oak has reportedly taken an interest in the ecology of the area just outside his ex-wife’s house. paletteswap.site/dif...

So I don't want to oversell this but our 2024 EV percentage after day 2 was R+2.5. Right now it's D+17.7 So a 20 point swing in the largest suburban county in the country that had resisted some previous blue waves.

The Student List had no party machinery. It operated through university assemblies, protests and hiking between cities & towns. They had 2% of national TV political advertising airtime vs 93% for Vučić. This is one of the most remarkable grassroots democratic victories in modern European history.

You are lying to my face if you claim the attention and outrage over Trump's support of Israel in 2026 is at the same level and intensity that was directed toward Holocaust Harris in 2024. bsky.app/profile/meid...

Cool story nobody cares because a Democrat isn't president right now

Brazil’s results tonight are a big endorsement for the idea that every country should have a second “are you you sure about that” election a couple weeks after the first one for the important stuff

Today was the best day for global democracy in quite a while.

Brazil. Absolutely amazing. Let's do it here next.

Lula has been reelected president, Brazilian media has now called. An extraordinary comeback for the left-wing politician who trailed by 2 points in round 1 but managed to hold off Flávio Bolsonaro, the former president's son.

LULA HAS 50.55% OF THE VOTE IN BRAZIL PRESIDENTIAL RUNOFF, FLAVIO BOLSONARO 49.45% WITH 60.85% OF BALLOTS COUNTED

Appears that Lula won, thank fuck

understand its a campaign but sigh

it really is amazing how accurate the “do you support both Palestine and Ukraine” litmus test has proven to be

Just been such a revolution in my worldview to realise that people like Musk actually believe this, this isn't just the nonsense they feed the rubes so they can do coldly rational mercantile calculations in smokey rooms among themselves. No. It's rubes all the way down, they're that stupid.

The first genuinely honest ad for generative AI I've ever seen, from Microsoft / CoPilot A mediocre white guy sees his non-white colleague getting praised for good work, he asks AI to *literally copy it*, and then he gets all the praise instead: www.ispot.tv/ad/SoDi/micr...

I hope Democrats are ready to blow up the system with campaign finance and transparency reforms. Trust is already at an all-time low. We don't get out of this mess without rebuilding trust.

As one of the candidates featured in these polls - the infamous one in late June that showed me plummeting into single digits (which was at odds with our internals) - here's the impact of this "experiment"

Fun!

They DM'd us this 2 minutes before publishing their official statement

actually this is a savvy move out of Vivek's campaign he's appealing to the fastest growing pillar of the GOP voter base: estranged, resentful parents and child predators

It be easier to make a database of Republicans you would leave alone in a room with a child or small animal

Sabotaging American foreign policy in order to help win an election is one area where Trump genuinely isn't an aberration. Nixon sabotaged peace talks with Vietnam and Reagan backchanneled to prevent Carter from getting the hostages in Tehran released. A long-standing Republican tradition of treason

This is the strongest statement I have seen from any political candidate about Donald Trump’s antisemitism. And yet they label Angie Nixon the antisemite, for rightfully labeling Israel’s actions in Gaza as a genocide.

I wish Biden had been a war hawk who shipped thousands of Bradleys to Ukraine. I wish our entire stockpile of 155mm rounds were used on Russian soldiers. There isn’t a single escalatory act NATO members could commit against Russia that I wouldn’t support.

We’ve talked enough about our own risk tolerance. It’s time to talk about Russia’s risk tolerance.

Don't let billionaires convince you slop is the future. They're used to managing & directing, not making things themselves. Of course they can't see the difference. They don't understand your love for the craft. Keep making personal, beautiful games. You've got my support 💖

lol of course

new undecided voter at the next NYT roundtable just dropped

I acknowledge that this last action by our oligarchic overlords has sent my inner social democrat on a rampage. But history does suggests some social democracy is necessary to correct and save democratic capitalism.

Time for an era of tech trust-busting?

it is going to be crazy bad for everyone involved if the American desi diaspora has to security up the way American Jews have had to

One of my core beliefs about contemporary politics is that you can't understand it without being willing to descend to the plane of the psychosexual It's not great tbh!
