Hey freaks - you get the first listen to the new campaign song, "Hope the Pipes Don't Freeze": youtu.be/uRBzt5x8ezE
Cc: @jamesxmyall.bsky.social - has anyone actually proposed Fuel Savings Accounts, and what are your thoughts on pre-tax accounts like that for targeted items?
This is a version of my mantra: Don't give them the fight they want to drag you into!
I’m not a political journalist, so was gladly surprised at the community I found here last night. To Americans anxious about the upcoming elections, a key thing we learned in Brazil that might help you: DO NOT engage with the far-right online. Don’t share rage bait. Amplify your people. Ignore them.

AI slop ginned up my comments, made me look completely different, and even changed the color of my hat! But it did do a nice job of cutting my comments out of the three hour town council meeting, I guess: www.youtube.com/watch?v=tNi-...
SAM. The remedy is ranked-choice voting! You're so close here, bro. Should I be elected (as an independent!) I will push for a constitutional amendment that would allow RCV at the state level. No idea why it's not a big part of Rick's campaign.

Let's go! An election song!
We don't need outside direction. This is our goddamn election. Try to buy us -- you're bound to fail. I co-wrote a song with Josh Fortenbery with help from @pat.alaskarobotics.com. We have THOUGHTS about billionaires spending for Prop. 2 in Alaska, and we will be voting NO. youtu.be/W0u7nS1_O_4
Oof. I talk climate change resilience at just about every door, and I haven't heard a single piece of pushback, and yet our "leadership" in Washington actively works to speed up climate change and imperil us further while they build their bunkers and look forward to the apocalypse.
Blistering record heat in Europe this summer helped kill more than 50,000 people, with nearly two-thirds of that death toll blamed on human-caused climate change, a new study found. n.pr/4zJgcde

I’ve been served this ad dozens of times and every time I hate Kyle a little bit more.
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...

Fiscal year 2026 just ended. It was the deadliest year for ICE detention. Ever. And the first death of FY 2027 was announced yesterday. There must be accountability. austinkocher.substack.com/p/the-first-...

Freedom of movement and expanded jobs programs are part of Maine’s efforts to improve conditions at its prisons. Such changes are making a difference, our new study shows. bit.ly/4eHum6q

And, obviously, I had to record a second campaign song, this time with the assistance of Maine alt-country legend Jenny Jumpstart: youtu.be/FIUgUptBMks
