If we get a Becerra/Steyer matchup, every single Democrat in a tight congressional race across the state gains a huge advantage they would not have had otherwise. Not to mention the benefit to progressive state/regional ballot propositions like the Bay Area transit measure.

The UC Berkeley IGS poll is out! Becerra 25 Hilton 21 Steyer 19 Californians: it is your patriotic duty to vote for Steyer to give us a Becerra/Steyer matchup so we can depress Republican turnout for every congressional and down ballot race in the state. www.latimes.com/california/s...

They stole the internet’s knowledge and all the work that went into it and they want to sell it back to us for a fee. What a business model.

“A settlement payment even a fraction of the size of Mr. Trump’s requested $10 billion could be much larger than his other attempts at private gain, potentially doubling his net worth.” Everybody who signs off on this goes to jail, should be a campaign promise. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/12/b...

i think not unrelated to this is that the dems are steadily becoming the party of the professional-managerial class and are incredibly embarrassed about this. this of course mirrors the pmc itself, which instead of achieving class consciousness has achieved "class neuroticism"

Authenticity has mutated into a synonym for being your worst self, & that is flatly antithetical to any ethic of personal improvement along the dimension of cultural elevation or enlightenment, including religious awakening.

Right. What's changed are norms surrounding representation & aspiration. Being an educated, cultivated person has become widely politicized in a wider environment of transgressive populist contempt for conventional respectability

Tony Molina absolutely slayed my new Worst Song interview series yellowgreenred.substack.com/p/yellow-gre...

Hey friends, if you know a local record store that might want to stock some Eiderdown titles, hit me up with suggestions. USA only at this point sadly... eiderdownrecords.bandcamp.com

their sons are now desperate for some kind of model that would allow them a measure of the security their fathers and grandfathers had. for some, they try (and fail) at the old ways (ziggy). others can just barely stay ahead (nick). and still others look elsewhere entirely (the white dealers).

anyway one of the clear throughlines of season 2 is that the rough and tumble blue collar working class masculinity of the dockworkers is not only a relic of a bygone era, but actively destructive. those men, represented by frank, failed their sons AND

"Waymo has told advocates that expecting it to respect bike lanes is 'too high a bar' because customers expect to be dropped off in them." To be crystal clear, it's illegal for a car to be in a bike lane. It doesn't matter what Waymo's customers expect; the company shouldn't be doing it.

Call us back when you're ready to federally ban gerrymandering. Until then, enjoy a taste of your own medicine

Republicans in red states have gerrymandered to shit and back, often illegally, and when voters have passed initiatives to ban the practice, they have (even more illegally) ignored and undercut them. It is a little late to clutch your pearls and weep about the sanctity of democracy now

Longtime favorite Spencer Cullum clocks in for the Hidden Gems series, going deep into a King Crimson-adjacent outing from members Ian McDonald and Michael Giles. Slip into some pastoral prog along with Cullum as he explores the album. bit.ly/4sXr4Ra

Apparently the Pope has read Baudrillard.

the thing to remember is that by the time FDR takes office the depression had been going for three years and the hoover administration looked like a bunch of do-nothing assholes. loudly and visibly saying "we are working to fix the problem!" was meant to bring some calm to the storm. it worked!

If Blockbuster Video had thought they could make $5 by selling the list of everyone who rented Schlinder's List to the KKK they would've done it in a second. It's not like evil corporations didn't exist back then!

Re: nostalgia for VHS tapes and other analog media, I saw someone say like "a VHS tape never sold my information to a nazi" and yes that's true! But the reason it's true is actually because Congress passed a law in 1988 specifically making it illegal for video stores to sell your rental history

BREAKING: “I made a mistake, and I am sincerely sorry,” Philz Coffee CEO said after having ordered Pride flags removed. I say again, the power is with the people! www.advocate.com/news/philz-c...

this is where I come down for a huge proportion of the vibecession debate. Bidenomics was superb on the traditional indicators, but he also oversaw a near total withdrawal of the most generous welfare state in US history. most of that wasn’t his fault, but still

Again: for any big liberal donor who wants to funnel millions into fixing this country's politics, the ROI on buying any struggling paper and simply tasking it with doing real reporting on local news is vastly higher than the same $$ given to some group that does mass ad buys every election year.

Whew, what a day. Time to pour myself a tall glass of tomato juice, unbutton my silk shirt, and listen to eight hours of New Age cassette tapes. Pass the orb, brother!

I remain convinced that one of the most important things the next Democratic president can do to avoid falling victim to a Biden-style vibecession is to mercilessly, relentlessly crack down on crypto and organized gambling. Just go full scorched-earth.

how much money does the marine corps lose

the realest part of The Metamorphosis is how on top of everything he is still expected to show up at the office somehow

a sex pest real estate guy who lost money on his casinos got elected president twice because he played a deals man on tv and then he destroyed the global economy. baudrilliard would die if he wasn't already dead.

anyway please remember that curtis yarvin and peter thiel and marc andreessen and elon musk and sam altman and mark zuckerberg told everyone who would listen donald trump was a brilliant statesman who was going to make the world safe for innovation after the stifling regulation of the biden years

Tax invisibility is a scourge in our politics > Public childcare isn't free, it's tax-funded. > People buying $34 burgers pay taxes. > Believe $34 burger eaters should pay more? wait until you hear about this idea "progressive taxation" Wow, problem solved, thanks taxes! 😀

only tangentially related, but people keep talking to me about how they’re using chatgpt it’s making me feel like Carol from Pluribus are they all chatgpt now, is that who’s emailing me from all these different emails

something like No Kings is essential merely because it gets people in the habit of saying “this is not OK, I don’t have to accept this” instead of just checking out, and i think elite passivity in face of Trump promotes popular apathy

on a more fundamental level, there is an aspect of psychic terror that comes from acknowledging that something too big to fail (the US presidency) is failing, waking up every morning knowing it is failing

People ask why we harp on British politics. I say because there are things to be learned. I said before Labour got in that the landslide would not be for them, it would be against the Tories, and they had better move fast or else. That has proven true. The current mood is not pro-Democrat.

If the Democratic Party was smart, and theyre not, they would be flooding airwaves and feeds on Asian and Hispanic centric forums, feeds, algos, radios etc that Trump is trying to take away their citizenship by race.
