yikes

YES! PEOPLE WANT TO BE AROUND FUN CONFIDENT PEOPLE.

I firmly believe that if the Harris campaign had ignored the triangulating quants and kept calling Trump and the GOP "weird," kept emphasizing "joy," etc., she would have won. The wankers who criticized that stuff as mean or cringe say almost nothing about Trump and the GOP's rhetoric.

BlueSky shoutout on Abbot Elementary!

That confidence is contagious is lost on too many Democrats. I wrote about it for BadFaithTimes.com. badfaithtimes.com/a-crisis-of-...

It would be cool to have some internet regulations in the US

Kinda disappointed Wes Moore hasn’t applied maximum pressure on Ferguson

I hadn't thought of that!

Kinda wondering if the Seahawks are ready to let Sam Darnold cook. They're still really run heavy (fourth lowest neutral pass rate since Week 6) but maybe acquiring Rashid Shaheed is a signal that they're willing to put more of the offense on Darnold.

us @ the moon tonight

If it's true that RealClearPolitics removed their polling average of the VA Attorney General race because it was wrong, that should really be the nail in the coffin for them. It's GOP polling propaganda that hasn't been rigorous or transparent in a long time (www.gelliottmorris.com/p/the-pollin...)

I don't think this is anything more than Democrats being crushed in the information wars.

I think you can draw a pretty straight line from this song to Bowie’s (temporary) fashy turn in the mid 70s. It’s a eulogy for 60s-style flower power. www.youtube.com/watch?v=OKMS...

Among other things we talked today about the vast differences between the Brissett-led Cardinals offense and the Kyler-led Cardinals offense. Also talked freakish downfield passer Sam Darnold getting a new downfield guy. youtu.be/TewRYWXy4cE?...

Huge night for the dems, but potential trouble spot in increasingly red Florida, where 62.6 percent of voters have upheld Tom Brady's cloning of his dog

lol

JJ McCarthy going full Chris Gaines? We’re gonna talk about nothing else.

I wish everyone who insisted Trump would fuck elections by posting ICE agents at every polling place, or even just a few key ones, would grapple with what it means that they were wrong, why they wanted to believe it, why they pushed back so hard when disagreements happened.

Hang the damn banner

Eventually western governments are gonna have to grapple with the choice between X and democracy. You can have one or you can have the other.

I will never “focus on sailors fighting in the dance hall”

Pretty clear the 2024 Trump coalition was a total illusion, not some durable force.

Now we’re cookin

I had no choice but to blog about those horrifying 80s nostalgia AI slop videos badfaithtimes.com/the-machines...

My Week 10 Regression Files includes nerdy target stuff for a handful of wide receivers who might be interesting down the stretch. I also had no choice but to once again write about Troy Franklin. www.nbcsports.com/fantasy/foot...

One thing about the Tuesday sweep elections: Republicans in April didn't take their Wisconsin loss - and the massive Dem shifts that accompanied it - seriously enough. badfaithtimes.com/dont-call-it...

The one thing to which millennials can relate as a generation is losing their parents to far right propaganda. Tragic stuff.

My dad would both “never go to NYC if my life depended on it” and “doesn’t care about the city at all” while being “very concerned about the communist mayor.” Strange tension to hold in one’s mind.

I wrote about MAGA for Mamdani Guy, what a vibes-based Democratic Party might look like, and popularism's promise of losing forever. badfaithtimes.com/vibes-arent-...

The only thing I'd say about Tom Brady cloning his dog is that these guys have way too much money

17.5% sack rate blows my mind every time i see it

I should point out that @riversmccown.bsky.social wrote this excellent and funny Rotoworld blurb

[extremely respectable pundit voice] but can we read anything into this historic sweep election

Watch a Colorado game this season and you'll see Deion marching up and down the sideline, pinning blame on a single coach or a single player. The players blame each other *during the play* sometimes. It's a wild scene. www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootb...
