so reading the QTs and replies, she def winning the primary huh

House Dems lining up behind Chuy Garcia is so insane. Total joke of a party.

I find this obsession with the Times so weird.

every person defending this is insane.

the replies on the article all nitpicking the various jokes in here really brings this whole thing together

what the fuck is this

TRUMP IN 2017: I seek to destroy American civilization VOTERS: Man, you suck TRUMP IN 2021: And also rule by fiat VOTERS: Yerrrouttta here!!! [BIDEN enters, exits] TRUMP IN 2024: Remember your old pal, me? I’m normal now VOTERS: Oh word? TRUMP IN 2025: jk I still want rule by fiat VOTERS: Phooey

RuPaul that one time Pearl wanted to talk to her at lunch:

I’m moving and because of some former liquidations from doing four moves in 9 months (don’t ask, was the plan) I need a new office chair. Problem is the good ones all are very “office-y” and way too corporate for WFH. Anyone have recs on good comfortable but stylish choices?

New low in Trump’s approval on 538 even before the Q poll is included — from a public sentiment standpoint the trend is basically playing out as you’d expect:

democrats need to get off bluesky tbh

the real ideology of bsky is not so much left or lib or a peculiar contemporary blend of the two, but an outsized belief in Posting, as such

happy valentine’s day

I do think there’s truth to this but I would also argue that — this isn’t about jamelle but a tangential issue with someone who take the opposite thought to the extreme — there’s way too many people who believe that public opinion is fully malleable with only the right magic words

even if this were true (probable)… wasn’t this like, our negotiating leverage to get the best deal for Ukraine?

They don't and they don't

my dad owns a flower store in new england and every week leading up to valentine’s day he seems to have acquired an advanced degree in meteorology

The four charts that lead me to believe the economy continues to slow in a concerning way: 1) the average workweek is very low 2) manufacturing job growth is negative and is worsening 3) the hires rate remains early 2010’s sluggish 4) the largest publicly-traded homebuilder stock is cratering

Ted Sarandos: “I want the most talked about movie of the Oscars”

need the oscar bait movie next year about the awards cycle for Emilia Perez

when people say this stuff they really show they don’t understand what led to Hitler!

it's so cool these people are on here too

i am seen

Former Navy helicopter pilot Rebecca Bennett is the first Democrat to launch a campaign against GOP Rep. Tom Kean Jr. in swingy New Jersey seat #NJ07

“in the strictest sense”

it is 2022. I am arguing with Will stancil about mask mandates. it is 2024. I am agreeing with Will Stancil about the Biden economy and Elon Musk. it is 2027. I am helping members of the 1st Free Minneapolis Volunteers spraypaint an icon of Will Stancil on the side of one of their tanks.

Despite lower than expected earnings, Nintendo's stock hit another all time high in Japan today. I feel like I'm saying that a lot! Nintendo's stock has skyrocketed since the Switch 2 teaser.

I was under the impression everything should be about merit, not affirmative action based on immutable characteristics.

I’m at the rally and the most interesting rhetorical move by Dems is saying this is hurting Americans — wasting taxpayer money, will hurt us when diseases come here etc. Significant bc of why Rs see it as a soft target (framing all foreign aid as $ that could have gone to YOU)

“The Hollywood Reporter has learned that Gascón set up the interview on her own without the involvement of anyone working on the film, which was distributed by Netflix.” oh I’m sat

Insane

But the plan, at least so far, didn’t work… it was a bad plan…

voter turn thermostat high oh no too hot now voter turn thermostat low

I do not think a lot of well meaning but non-lawyer dyed blue liberals and progressives have been well served by the messaging on this ruling — and more broadly, by some accounts on here and Twitter in general. Not only is not true, but it’s also not galvanizing and causes people to just give up.

New @apartmentlist.bsky.social monthly data is out — rent growth is creeping back towards positive territory. I suspect it’s going to be L-shaped for the first 2-3 quarters of 2025 but potentially starts to surge as we approach 2026 given the supply outlook: www.apartmentlist.com/research/nat...

thermostatic public opinion

I take the other side on this. If the alternative was Peters retiring in 2032, I prefer 2026. If we're losing a Michigan open seat in 2026 with a good bench there, then we're losing nationally.

oh god it’s true.

what is this

would not be her first time doing stuff like this.

I lived it: I did a heavy leg day at 6:30pm.

who is this about

I don’t think this is true about the relationship between the United States, other countries, and also immigrants generally.

Do we actually know if the weird attack lines were powerful or did they just work for those people already committed to voting for Harris? Genuinely don’t know! But feels like “the weird attack was the one thing that worked” is taken as gospel with no complimentary evidence?

the gaps here between "all men 18-29" and "men 18-29, registered voters" are INSANE stop every voter registration drive immediately lol

The ability for people to think Trump will only do the good things he says but not the bad things he also says is unlike anything I’ve ever seen

looked this up. the ENTIRE state of alabama has a grand total of 2,569 haitian immigrants. as best i can tell there are no more than 100 haitian immigrants in Guntersville, a town of about 8500

A wild stat from Joshua Spivak (@recallelections.bsky.social): 39% of the Dem Senate caucus following the 2002 elections hailed from states that elect *zero* Democratic senators today www.washingtonexaminer.com/premium/3292...
