There's a Marist poll that has #megov *tied* which is completely insane if true

If you are too young to really remember the Obama years, conservatives were like this every single day. He really did just break their brains.

i don't think anyone should run explicitly on banning online gambling but i do think that a democratic-led government should just quietly take steps to undermine the industry and create an inhospitable regulatory environment

30 years ago today, Kang - in disguise as presidential candidate Senator Bob Dole -- heroically declared “abortions for some, miniature American flags for others.” #TheSimpsons episode “Treehouse of Horror VII” first aired October 27, 1996.

In the big inning, God created the heavens and the earth

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.

There’s no algo on bluesky so I’m not rage baited 400 times a day, is why I like it here best.

Expanding the court is the moderate centrist position

pretty clear evidence that republicans in the US losing any election going forward are going to always beg for a coup if they lose. lots of people will have to go to jail

Imagine raising a child up to 5th grade and not be able to list off a literally endless list of things you love about them. I’m sorry you don’t have a mother who cares about you, Marielle.

for once in my fucking life I’d like to be able to trust the degenerate political gamblers on the prediction markets

The USA’s failure to punish Trump for Jan 6th was just an historic betrayal of global democracy. What a shameful, abject and total failure of institutions and civil society.

Deeply disheartening to see what appears to be a deliberate effort to suppress the votes. Hope they pay the consequences.

Bolsonaro-friendly mayors appear to be sabotaging public transport on Election Day. Buses aren’t running in Lula-friendly areas, flights and ferries mysteriously canceled. Traffic lights have gone out and people’s power cut in Salvador, indigenous people’s travel restricted

We are watching a coup d’état attempt unfold in real time in Brazil. I’m consumed by desperation.

New airport book incoming

I'm no political scientist but the Republicans seem to be doing a lot of mass "vote Republican" campaigns this year, which, can't be at all effective, right? People who voted for their "team" are reliable votes, but the swing voters vote for candidates, right?

Guillermo Del Toro dropping another one liner that’s exactly how I feel about AI slop, the “punishment” is built in

WHO COULD HAVE PREDICTED/IMAGINED???!!! bsky.app/profile/vert...

The fact that the president's doctors are giving him the dementia test over and over again -- tracking his decline, most likely -- and that the president keeps bragging about having to take that test should be a five-alarm fire.

If you're a connoisseur of on-brand James Dolan pettiness, grudge-settling, and ham-fisted dumbassery, have I got the article for you www.nytimes.com/athletic/771...

Grift based economy. Shutter all these places down (including sports gambling apps) and take all their money

man I am depressed all over again I fucking love the mass effect universe, we should be getting new games in it forever what a tremendous waste to consign it to the dustbin of EA

"never ask about a baseball or hockey player's politics" remains undefeated

He’s trying so hard to be Trump and he will just never be Trump

Have you ever seen a guy who acted less concerned about whether he’s going to hell

Hell yeah, finally a chance to use this function

Start lobbying on the Data Center Conversion Act of 2029 now.

Blaise Pascal invented public transit in the 1660s. As the greatest mathematician of his age, he saw the math problem that only transit would solve. I wrote about this amazing story here. humantransit.org/2024/12/one-...

crazy that carville has been dining out for 30 years on attaching himself to one of the great political savants

Fire everyone in Philly holy shit

Ysabel Yates'... I mean Cookie Monster's superb takedown of why GenAI in the workplace sucks.

The rich world cannot politically bear *any* consumer price inflation right now because of how squeezed people already are by housing. The pre-Biden economic social contract of the US was that housing was the only thing that was allowed to get more expensive.

Yeah sprawl is a huge reasons why taxes are high in a lot of places; for the reasons you mention, but also because a road costs about the same to build whether it serves 12 people or 1200 people, ditto for sewers and water lines and power connections etc It makes everything more expensive

Also cities sprawl into land solar should be on
