I turned on the World Series 30 min ago and have seen two (2) Dem ads, and they’re both attacking incumbent R Congresspeople as Friends of Epstein, so seems like this message is getting through.

Micah@rincewind.run

this is something Dems can just hammer on for the next two years televised hearings every week about Epstein, Epstein, Epstein make the drumbeat so loud the media doesn’t have a choice in covering it

No you know what I'm still mad about this, fuck you, you utter plague of rancid fats, I'm gonna learn MORE about this to tell you to go fuck yourself with an electron microscope let's learn about some Arabic contributors to science that won THE EXACT AWARDS he mentioned

4th and 1 ESPN Analytics (TM): in this situation go for it on 4th and 7 or less Commentators: “I don’t think they’re actually gonna snap the ball here, looks like they’re trying to draw them offsides”

I am once again wondering about the feasibility of building The Official Twitter Clone of AOC 2028.

Bruno Dies@brunodias.dev

At one point he had a Whatsapp group with 10 million people in it, coordinating action. Which I didn't even think whatsapp was infrastructurally designed to support. And yes, whatsapp is of course a meta network, but the strategy was to be everywhere, to act redundantly, to be unbannable.

The awesome thing about elections is that they happen rarely enough and involve enough latent variables that ~no way of predicting them is empirically falsifiable 🙃

ESG Hound@esghound.com

once again reminding people that a market at 15% odds (as was the case coming out of that round 1) will go the other way about 1 out of 6.6 times. you don't have to like them but pretending like half a billion dollar markets are completely fake is actually really dumb

Social media loves talking about how everything is getting worse. But what’s something that you’ve seen get _better_ in your lifetime?

AOC: "What the Trump administration is doing in targeting trans people is to get everyone on board with supporting defunding their own civil rights ... understand that when they attack trans girls in sports, they're also attacking all women's ability to stand up against their abusers"

Man, the Alberta referendum went down so hard I barely heard about it. Shoutout to our neighbors to the north, good job not being influenced by a small group of rich idiots.

To-do list for SD Mayor Pete and DSD Uncle Frank (and the transition team): - at 1201 rip down the stupid fucking sign, regardless of whether Congress has officially changed the name (not looking good for the 27 NDAA lol) - at 1202 issue orders to rename all the confederate bases back*

Today, while protecting Palestinians, Brad Lander & a group of American rabbis & others were taken by the IDF. Releasing Brad isn't enough, the Israeli govt must release them all.   If this is how they treat Americans, imagine how they treat Palestinians. Trump & Rubio's silence fuels this impunity.

Dems being in positive territory on the economy, foreign policy, and fucking immigration is crazy. There’s two more years of this! Staffers need to get to work on plans for policy on all of these issues that are ready to go in January 2029 because there’s a tremendous opportunity looming.

If Zohran Mamdani or Abdul El-Sayed had used the word “Shylock” as an insult, the ADL would be attacking them by name relentlessly. But Donald Trump used it, so we get a generic condemnation of the word without any specific reference to who actually used it, and with no assumption of intent.

Geopolitical adventurism is enormously popular in Congress and looks terrible on TV. It's similarly expensive. What if we just went on adventures. Nothing about a Mars mission is impossible with the right funding

Eagles QB Jalen Hurts, who is out for the season after several blood clots were revealed in his lungs. Before the London game, Hurts was in the hospital until 4 am and did not sleep because sleep was a risk. He played the game without having slept. Crazy.

Rules that Netanyahu is just explicitly aligning himself with the worst, most rapacious, indiscriminately murderous actors in the region. Like Idk what else you could even say that Israel, the UAE, the RSF, and Ethiopia have in common other than crimes against humanity.

I love science fiction, and movies, and I've nerded out about "the lives of science fiction writers" and "the lives of movie makers", and one of the main takeaways I had was "we simply cannot let this limited set of mixed nuts define the perimeters of research and imagination".

Flying car would be cool as a concept if it wasn’t following 14 different vintages of Pure Elon Snake Oil, from the Mars colony to the humanoid robot servant.

Dread it, run from it, you must accept Abuela Clinton’s relentlessly positive 2016 immigration message is the way Srsly, everyone weirdly ignores HRC dropped Obama’s “secure border”, just pilloried Trump for being a xenophobic racist, & got the most Latino support ever Identity politics FTW

Crazy idea: Democrats should defend immigration and immigrants, run on the idea that immigrants make America great, and stop Homer Simpsoning themselves into the shrubbery every time Republicans try to demagogue it.

The PS makes an incredible cherry on top.
