YouGov asks questions like this fairly often and you can see for eg that more Democrats say they would be disappointed if AOC won than Pete… but also that the overwhelming majority of Democrats wouldn’t be disappointed by any of them

interesting rationale from a prospective juror in the Elon Musk Twitter stock manipulation case

I ADORE THIS MOVIE!!!

oh this is really neat.

watching PROJECT HAIL MARY. Wasn't yet available at cheap rent price so I bought it outright.

I have spent a while on the internet but this kind of cowardice still beats me. every time I see it I am stunlocked, the person is just a piece of shit beyond my comprehension of how to respond

Everything MPU posts about data centers is complete garbage. They have zero respect for their audience. Literally no one here is losing power. This post is a complete lie. 🧵

the thing about "rotating villain theory" is that there is no functional difference between a pre-planned outcome that fails/succeeds by 1 vote and one that is faithfully negotiated to within that 1 vote. it's not provable either way. only thing you can do is pressure all members individually

(Jorts is crushing it here) I think there’s still a pretty big field of mystery around “how to effectively change minds”, and we have to be careful conflating “engagement metrics for online platforms” with any other rhetorical/ideological goal we may have.

I hope this kid uses this as his campaign launch video in ~12 years

It’s weird to me that we count the gutter as part of bike infrastructure width.

i don't talk about it much, but PROTOTYPING WIKIPEDIA (my current day job) is completely fascinating and thrilling to me. it's a combination of technical.. creative.. design challenges. it's also a people thing how do i bring a prototyping practice to a megalithic organisation and tech stack?

pretty clear that ~11% is the healthy vacancy rate (including within subregions and metro areas). if you don't have 11%, build til you do!

UK housing vacancy rates extremely low compared to intl peers. More than a fifth of Spanish, Italian and Chinese housing is vacant. www.nber.org/system/files...

I don't feel like picking a fight with the author directly but this article is actually astonishing in how descriptive it is while containing almost nothing substantive besides begging for federal antitrust action and mandating some standards. www.noemamag.com/we-need-to-r...

preemptively not going to get mad at Dan Osborn for being an eclectic independent from fuckin Nebraska of all places. I'm sure there will be something of his people aren't gonna like. I'm telling you know, I'm not saving brain space for it

there's got to be wordplay somehow with "warrior ethos" and losing wars

In case people think McMorrow's campaign is just alleging that El Sayed misled the public about practicing medicine (a thing he never claimed to do), here's her campaign communications manager claiming he doesn't even have medical credentials. He has a fucking MD and Public Health PhD

lying is bad. that means you, mcmorrow, not him

I am really curious to see if any of you have positive or negative feedback on the writing itself, not just the main thesis. I am not an author by practice and have only written a handful of longform things in my life so I have really no idea how this comes across to people.

Not that Ds shouldn't /try/ but I have to argue this is not replicable at scale. Mamdani is able to get attention bc of his personal aspects and also repping a big city. If everyone did it, each would be less effective bc of the limits of the attention economy. We have to build *durable* sources...

new obsidian plugins website is out! seems like the team has been spending a lot of time on this so hopefully new app stuff soon.

encouraging thread about the promise of newsletter bundles as exhibited by @trustfnd.com to increase subscriptions and broaden readership

I think a solid majority of Americans could go their whole lives voting every two years and never cast a ballot in a federal election whose outcome is in doubt. Is that a democracy in any meaningful sense?

Discourse!!

I do and we need more of it

wow?????

unbelievably cursed post

they should put that on a website somewhere instead of only Posting about it 😉

a new bit I've been trying to work into my reply posts is calling phds Doc

trump... take egg?

Congress could mandate that states use proportional representation, with parties getting a number of seats proportional to their share of the vote. Advocates are already pushing for some states to experiment with this reform.

I’m willing to give someone like Petola a slop pass, I am not willing to give people from D+a billion states that privilege

The task before us now is first to justify that optimism at the ballot box. The heroes of the civil rights era didn’t bow before men in white robes and none of us are under any obligation to bow to their successors in black ones. AND THEN…

all these things should be put into a list on a website. not a long article that takes a while to explain. site, bullet points, links

can you feel it? the media itching to crush you under the boot of fascism?

Wow. Oakland condo prices are back to 2014 prices? www.sfchronicle.com/realestate/a...

I'm chartmogging you. I'm factpilled. I'm realitymaxxing. I'm a truthcel. I'm a datalord. I'm graphcore.

anti-doomer state of affairs is that even a tiny House majority will prevent trump from running unchecked for the next two years, and there's effectively little outcomes difference from a small and big win in '26. '28 is the focus. doesn't mean we can give up on any Senate seats now tho
