When I was at the state fair they had an indoor track where a professional driver drove you around in a land rover for a few minutes. Sadly I feel like replicating this attraction at the Tesla HQ with the one functioning roadster would work on a lot of people.
Also, there's no possible way the Roadster will ever be street legal, so that "wild looping track" will probably be the only place a purchaser will ever be able to use the car.

One would be good and the other would be bad because one cause is good and the other is bad. We are not in the realm of procedural justice concerns anymore, liberalism is not obligated to be neutral on the question of its own existence.
People demanding Zuck be hauled before Congress to explain why No Kings insta was suspended... how would you feel if MAGA GOP hauled MSNow execs to explain why they covered Trump the way they do? Both are editorial choices protected by the First Amendment. If this annoys you...

Glad this is being mentioned. Con ET is positively giddy over the thought that "marist is Dem-biased so Talarico swinging from +6 to +2 means the race is tightening" and they are going to be reckt when this is not the case.
Finished my model update write-up for this week. It's basically a follow-up on the discussions I've seen and been having with @hydevoltyge.bsky.social, @mariafromga.bsky.social, @clearlyashley.bsky.social and others about how red pollsters' modeled electorates are. drive.google.com/file/d/1NK0R...

So uh. 2022 was a 23-pt swing from Day 1 EV to result; 2024 was a 20-pt swing. 27pts to start with?? Iowa Lean-D baby
Iowa had its first day of early voting yesterday. Submitted ballots were D+27 by party registration. In 2022, first-day ABEV ballots were D+11. And in 2024, it was D+7. More on the EV blog: www.gelliottmorris.com/p/2026-early...

it's sometimes tempting to give into despair and assume our enemies are omnipotent and unstoppable so its a good to have reminders like this that they couldn't even manage to conquer *golf* despite making a huge effort to do so
Even after leaving the upstart circuit, the former Masters champion still doesn’t have a clear path back to the PGA Tour. on.wsj.com/4eBN6UX

Exactly this. That Texas has swung back to being competitive at all after 2024 is something of a miracle. I would certainly rather be Talarico rn but his win is not a given and any win may be small. Gotta brace for all possibilities.
Talarico may not win Texas by 10pts? Wow! The Governors race isn’t a slam dunk? No shit. Again people do need to dial back their expectations within reason. A D+10 night with a Talarico +3 winning margin is still nearly unthinkable
