since there's no good anniversary in 2029, it means we need to go ham on Jan 20th 2029 and throw a national party celebrating "the continuance of democracy". not explicitly hailing the end of trumpism but something pretty obviously alluding to it

not my point. I'm not asking for my particular needs to be prioritized, I know I'm privileged. the point is, most voters are whiny selfish babies, and so I can't message to other would-be urban white guy libs who are like me but more selfish if Ds aren't looking at me and my cohort

22000 likes celebrating an antitrump billboard in a blue city fuck every last one of you idiots

Fuck you

New Solenoid feature I think will be super duper valuable. The Report Node is a markdown file that turns `=code` into a wireable socket, and ![[name]] embeds any Note from the graph. You can wire all Charts and other values directly into the Report!

The Presentation Node lets you step through your Solenoid graph like a powerpoint in any order you like. Just select one or many nodes, hit Add Step, and then Presentation Mode will fly to those nodes (even if you rearrange them!)

I've also introduced the Mermaid Charts node! mermaid.js lets you create charts via text. This will be a familiar feature to any Obsidian users. So now we have Recharts and Mermaid as available chart options.

the Mobile interface has gotten a big overhaul and I think is muchhhhh better now!

possibly my spiciest take on here but I stand by this

hey idiot did you consider that I understand the direct use of "careerist" is supposed to be derogatory and the point of my post is to undermine the term as a negative thing in and of itself? Think before you post

oh no, not a careerist. how horrible. can you imagine if the people we employ as leaders were people who were professionally focused on doing leadership jobs? what a tragedy

Wrong holiday dipshit

mid-size venue rock concerts where everyone present is really into the band are just so awesome

broadly, trading/compromising at the politician level only works for *competing priorities* from *broadly morally aligned interests*. you can trade zoning reform for corporate tax reform with corporate Dems. Republicans are evil and want to harm humanity, you can't trade with them

🙂👍

people talk about Jeffries the same way as they talked about Pelosi. he's top dog, man, it comes with the post

no it isn't

man you're replying to a 4 month old half joke comment. brie joy sucks and you should shut the fuck up

Eliminating the concept of out-of-network would simplify things for providers, as it would mean the end of the QPA process and negotiations for providers subject to the No Surprises Act, where OON practitioners in an INN facility have to accept QPA and can't balance bill:

This is my worst nightmare. I can tolerate a lot of things but I have an extremely high sensitivity to screaming children.

A new neighbor moved into the apartment next to mine. They have a young child that likes to scream and cry very very loudly. before, both neighbors on my floor were old folks that were rarely loud.

AOC has changed the trajectory of American politics and inspired a generation to believe that government really can work for working people. I am deeply honored to earn her endorsement for US Senate. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/02/u...

someone needs to go to CAP and PPI and tell them that the best way for them to avoid having to discuss DSAers or have insurgent candidates is by allowing PR

Scaling back housing a block from a major rail station is a terrible idea. We need so much more housing, particularly near transit. This continual pressure to scale back housing is a key reason why we have such a deep housing shortage.

Hey everyone, Solenoid v1.0 is released, and I'd love if you'd try it out and give me your feedback please!

Solenoid 1.0!!! putting the finishing touches on it!!! aahhhh!!!!

I have a feeling we're going to be reliant on turnout differentials for a lot of these races

The United States is turning 250. Everything we want for the next 50 years starts with fixing housing. www.vox.com/the-highligh...

I was heavily discounting the NYC progressive wins as indicative of something larger since they were being backed by Infinite Rizz Jesus aka Mamdani. if we see a prog rout in Colorado tonight, though, that would be something to write about

🤯🤯🤯🤯

Solenoid 1.0 is FEATURE COMPLETE! All I have left to do is some performance testing on Polars with large data sets.

Fable export controls lifted!

you know, when someone says something like "these are the things that need to be done to avert disaster" and your response is "you think democrats will do that?!?" all you're telling me is that you think politics is a spectator sport

Woah

there are a handful of serious writers / policy people on here who are very clearly wanting more engagement with their work but don't engage with anyone else except to share their work. that is your problem my friends

for the same reason as that they're not making impeachment a priority, they're not going to make SCOTUS a priority going in to the midterms vs "affordability". Jeffries has been pretty clear on that and that likely works with a much wider audience that bluesky folks unfortunately

Give me a spreadsheet you use. Let me recreate it in Solenoid for you to try out

let's get ahead of this: when alito and thomas retire and the Senate moves to confirm more SCOTUS justices before the midterms, *shut the fuck up about Merrick Garland*. we already know the GOP has 0 shame- not helpful. your job is to attack the existence of more GOP justices **on the merits!!**

It’s a relief that SCOTUS upheld the Constitution and protected the right to birthright citizenship today. But the fact that this was a split decision and three justices voted to overturn the plain and unmistakable language on birthright citizenship is profoundly disturbing.

there is a third method but it requires a lot of people to be really cool

sometimes the obvious answer is the right one

I need Democrats to be posting the hell out of the text of the 14th amendment for at least the next week

Ilan Wurman [REDACTED] challenge
