Dem social teams need to get these ready in the drafts if Blexas happens

Remember the early days of Covid when people were speculating on N95 masks and hand sanitizer by buying up the scarce supply and selling it for inflated prices; but then we made so many masks and so much hand sanitizer that you could get them super cheap? We could do that for housing if we wanted.

there are people serving life sentences right now on thinner evidence than we have for "donald trump was jeffrey epstein's partner in serial rape" democrats-judiciary.house.gov/media-center...

America, home of the losers.

tbh I think a good place to start is telling the prediction markets of which 99% of their trading volume is sports betting that actually they are casinos and not financial organizations selling contracts

does anyone know if they won

BURN AFTER READING (2008)

This is so backwards. Talk radio uses gutter racism, misogyny, et al to scare idiots into voting Republican *despite* the party’s actual policies, which even voters don’t believe are real when they’re described.

The New York Times wrote articles that were like "the impossible-to-characterize elusive politics of Elon Musk / he's lost interest in politics" right before he became *literally the largest GOP donor in history* the next election cycle. Twice. Two times!

Current status: drinking a beer at a bar with this view while a band called Blue Valentine sets up to play American dad rock.

Go to your camera roll and search "boat" and then post a picture of a boat you like.

Right, the problem was that it showed this correspondent was (1) biased & bigoted and (2) unable to understand what had actually transpired at the event, both of which are disqualifying for a reporter.

Ted Cruz is getting absolutely destroyed in the comments, but I'd like reporters to ask Ted Cruz if he's ever disavowed Christian terrorists like Eric Robert Rudolph, Robert Dear, Tim McVeigh.

This is Tommy. Tommy had a question about my allegiances. Listen to the end to hear about his.

Schelling had some stuff to say about this, if any dem pol/staffer had ever read him

when a side defects without consequence you are now playing a fundamentally rigged game and the only way to fix it is to ensure defectors are punished in such a way that they learn there are consequences to all their choices

a significant amount of openai's reckless bullshit has been with unreleased models. a safety story that's all about what the public gets to access is one that's unresponsive to the real and present danger of corporate unaccountability

The owner of X is almost single-handedly funding the Republican midterm election campaigns. Here’s why Bluesky has an intellectual diversity problem.

The 2027 IBC has been officially published, and it allows single-stair apartment buildings up to four stories! See the new section 1006.3.3.2 codes.iccsafe.org/content/IBC2...

whenever trump's DOJ has to go in front of a judge to get yelled at, every lawyer on here is like "omg i've NEVER seen a judge this mad, if a judge yelled at me like this i'd immediately commit seppeku," and then at the end of the hearing the judge is like "ok no sanctions just don't do it again"

American small business owners largely see themselves as lower-level rentiers in a quasi-feudal economy as opposed to service providers in a competitive market economy, and part of that means not having to actually be competent at providing services

cool that MLB owners are gonna do a lockout and cancel part of the season next year purportedly for "if we don't crush player salaries, small markets can't compete!!" when 3 of the final 4 teams this year are Tampa, Cleveland and Milwaukee.

This powerful book by Amal Chatterjee identifies clearly and unequivocally the mechanisms enabling colonial economic extraction long after colonialism is supposed to have ended. Highly recommended: hurstpublishers.com/book/prisone...

Started actually using the tea pot a friend got me a year or two ago and it's pretty good Idk if the loose leaf is better than some of the bags that I have but it's not bad either & its a lot of tea

🚨 Ken Paxton has taken nearly 1,000 trips with a taxpayer-funded state police security detail since becoming Texas attorney general in 2015. 🔹The bill so far: $3.3 million. 🔹 An investigation could tie only 138 of those trips, and $553,000 of that cost, to state business. @micaherfan.com

This stuff also makes such a mockery of the people who did work very hard to get rid of the death penalty in blue states. Dems are not perfect, but they're generally moveable on these issues, and many Dems did move because people worked hard to make them move. Endless hopeless cynicism is useless.

just to emphasize what's happening here: BMW (a company that used slave labor under the Nazis) refused to provide an official vehicle to the ultra right-wing AfD party, which is now asking Elon Musk to provide a Tesla instead Tesla literally becoming the Nazi car brand

China at 36% is very impressive but also clashes with the idea that they're *that* acendant there. I keep forgetting that in China "new energy vehicle" also means plug-in hybrids and EREVs lol.
