If a progressive wins the primary, vote Democratic in November. If a moderate wins the primary, vote Democratic in November. If a socialist wins the primary, vote Democratic in November. Really. Vote for any D over any R.

I then told them to go read @scientificdiscovery.dev substack about advances in treatment, plus pointed them towards two books (emperor of all maladies and the cheating cell) to clarify why there probably won’t be any general cancer cure.

Maybe this is outdated or maybe Hobbes is extremely good faith but the meta analysis i found uses 5% weight loss as cutoff and while i cant tell from the tables what percentage lost that much or more since the coeff is part of a random effects model...15% seems more likely a high end than mean

Man. I am sick. Spouse left hazards on so battery died. Got a jump but then needed to strap baby in and get dog so car died again. Now waiting for another jump actually ready to drive but baby increasingly irritated and i have a massive headache and im gonna miss worker

He was a son of a bitch, but he fought Hitler with everything he had 🤷‍♂️

Our household has probably a bit under 200k in retirement funds + other savings so Elons would equate to use giving 128 dollars in our lifetime. We clear that basically every month

Oh, the other serious answer to this is that I really do think national borders are a source of enormous toxicity and that actually winning is going to require addressing that, in some way that absolutely no one is ready for lol

Average annual spending on eggs is $50/year.

Signal priority. Signal priority. My kingdom for signal priority

Los Angeles metro is bad. La metro is getting way better. LA metro could be way better

Omg

So many "oh wow, sorry to hear that, that's gonna be so difficult" I DON'T UNDERSTAND PEOPLE THE MEDIAN HHI IS 87k WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT

This articulates something I sometimes find hard to when people who don't trust "science" bring up criticisms I share but then come to conclusions I find utterly baffling that they think obviously follow.

Bluesky in a nutshell. Some context: BLS released its jobs numbers today, which were better than expected, and resistance libs would rather stay mad/conspiratorial than listen to actual on-the-ground experts that the data is still reliable.

The old joke about funding philosophy being easier than funding math because pen and paper is easier than pen, paper, and a wastebasket seems oddly relevant right now

This is also why I am skeptical of the "ban children from phones" conventional wisdom. Eventually kids grow up, this isn't going away or getting less complex to navigate. By all means, we need to talk to kids and do other things to help

Now, the other way that all of this is ethos, maybe, is that the authority of these forms of argument doesn't come from any kind of From First Principles Reason That, itself, is about the character of the American Republic. These are legal authorities, and other things are not, purely by convention

“We’re the most powerful country in the world and we have the most obese, fudgy people.” The fatness claim is incorrect. The national rankings differ, but the US is usually in the teens. We’re on the high end, but we’re not the fattest nation on earth. I’ll take fudgiest, though

No Kings includes Draft Kings

My spouse has worked in homeless services for a decade and has always been interested in the policy side and hoo boy is it not at all the case that front line workers have accurate views on housing policy. The relevant policy problems are largely irrelevant to the work of a social worker day to day

There are only 2 real responses to housing scarcity. You can either build enough homes to accommodate everyone or start drawing up a list of “undesirable demographics” to exclude. I know which side I’m on.

A uniform 37 point swing would knock over all but 8 EVs

Obligatory: that's not very pro-life

That's...uh... California levels of Democratic vote

I hope @johngreensbluesky.bsky.social and @hankgreen.bsky.social learn that Catholic saints and Popes are part of the Marvel Comicbook universe

There's an Instagram influencer who did one reel where he swapped chicken for tofu because it was cheaper at a restaurant. He found out it was rage bait that was great for the algoand has since become a soyboy gym bro influencer and I find that really funny

If you are wondering, what's with the wildly trad framing of this stuff? The usccb defunding Catholic journalism made it so that all the legacy career Catholic journalists that secular press use as sources are now replaced by our own Catholic brands of the Free Press

So what happened? Is WOF about to have another scandal?

JUST IN: Democrats flip a red seat in the Texas Senate. Taylor Rehmet wins against Leigh Wambsganss, a conservative activist who helped lead right-wing efforts to take over TX school boards. With all early vote, and 95% of precincts, in, Dem up 57/43. Trump won this seat by 17% in Tarrant County.

Oh. Man, yeah Frederick Douglass was subskeeting about Stancil and didn't even realize

[Follow up posts redacted] glances down [I SAID REDACTED, *pushes button repeatedly*]

A lot of local lb activist posters are doing good work ... But man some of the poasts are just wrecker stuff. Making fun of "going to one protest or posting memes but not doing anything" Like, what are you even doing?

Peas and hominy.

reading about how they basically had to jerry rig it together after Ted Kennedy tied via reconciliation explains so much see also: the fate of the CLASS ACT :(

I am technically a millennial but because of weird things that happened to aging in 2020 some Gen Z are in fact older than me

Look, you can be mad at Biden. Plenty of reasons to in fact, but he dominated Obama on basically every issue. Maybe you can say "well he failed at the more important time" but A.) the American public failed him B.) 2016...was in retrospect a bigger fumble imo

www.reddit.com/r/NewParents... The number of ace/aro or ace adjacent people in the world would break so many conservative Catholic brains that i have encountered. The times I have heard "oh you know how it is" from even priests

Chat, is it a good sign for my attempt to consolidate autocracy if my gestapo is 23 points underwater

I truly, truly get it why a lot of good people are saying that Minneapolis is not about left or right, democrats or republican, now. I understand. But I’m sorry it actually is

Bet On It taking on a whole new meaning

BTW when I say abolish ICE, I mean abolish it entirely and replace it with exactly nothing. Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free. That's it.

Jeremiah 6:14

It would be great if Catholic parishes had as much moral fortitude as an independent bike shop with the name Angry Catfish

Living water takes on many meanings

There is more of Christ in the pinky finger of an immigrant in fear or the activist putting their body on the line than in most Catholic Masses I have seen lately. And I am not talking just a symbol. I mean the body and blood of Christ Jesus.

For my part, I'm going to go get some lunch and then work on getting the speeches from Thursday's multi-issue march up on the site.

For what it's worth, if there's something you can do today, I think you should log off and go do it. If there isn't anything you can do today, I think you should log off and do whatever it is you're going to do to rest.
