I made a “how do you do, fellow kids?” joke to someone in their mid 20s who, it turns out, was too young to have heard of that meme. So “how do you do, fellow kids?” is now an example of “how do you do, fellow kids?”

This is an absolute must read. Perfect.

I can’t believe Zohran is transing the trains already www.mta.info/article/f-m-...

Gotta say, I’m not so confident that you do

But this time we're going to win, goddammit!

I thought we'd moved on from the silly and juvenile activist style belief that good people do good work and bad people do bad work.

What the fuck

Imagine if you met someone irl who kept talking like people do on here, throwing under the bus, kept the receipts, lives rent-free etc, you'd quite rightly punch them in the face

For political hacks like myself, 'put it in the curriculum' is the oldest and hattiest of old hat policy ideas. Why do we think schools should solve all our problems? What if we thought differently about life skills and civic education? howtorunacountry.substack.com/p/schools-ca...

Um, do federal prosecutors *really* want to take the position that it's not okay to receive something of value from … Qatar? I can think of 747 reasons why they shouldn't. 🤔

This is the hype video the White House posted when they arrested Sandwich Guy, who was found not guilty today.

EU rejoin is a *current* Lib Dem policy and one that we ran on in 2024. Simply announcing it isn't an option for the UK. We don't get to tell the EU that we're rejoining without years of prior steps. It will need a careful pathway, such as the one set out below, to make it a reality.

A fun question. In 5 years time, what looks better? The US’s enormous bet & capex on AI? Or China’s equally enormous bet and capex on renewables?

Think of the quote in the photo below as you listen to this young man.

No it’s important to listen to this. Because then you understand that many of them will do ANYTHING to keep power. Remember Musk got involved in the 2024 election after saying to Tucker “if she wins” I am definitely going to prison. So we need to move knowing that nothing is off the table for them.

““For a state that claims to be a Jewish state for all Jews,” said Strober, “if you just show up one day and stand in support of Palestinians by doing something as basic as picking olives together, actually, then your Jewishness is irrelevant.””

Probably a more important read this morning than the umpteenth take on the Celebrity Traitors finale…

It's SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO GOOD.

In passing: there is nothing of utility for anywhere else to be gleaned from anything SCOTUS does now. Abhor and condemn what it does, absolutely, but when it won’t even give its reasons, nothing it does is of any value or applicability to any other jurisdiction.

Let’s hear more of the dangers of democratic socialism under Mamdani

Even I thought this was one of mine!

Inspired by The Jase's video, I realised that the Mr Blobby song also works quite well with the John Lewis advert. But then it took a dark turn...

Sandwich Guy thanks everyone for their support, “emotional, spiritual, artistic or financial.” Intones, “Let us not forget that the great seal of the United States says…‘ out of many, one.’…You all have a right to live a life that is free.”

I like how the caption on this photo reads as if he's making a claim that could not be independently verified.

I think a lot of people have been noticing this over the past couple years but courage and conviction wins people over. Drawing lines and plotting indifference curves to figure out what you believe in turns them off

meanwhile over on x, things are going about as expected

Here's another bit of conventional wisdom Zohran completely blew away: His speech was at well above a 10th-grade level. It was complex, erudite, punctuated by deep and fluent references. You don't have to condescend to voters with baby talk! Part of re-establishing norms is speaking like an adult.

i don’t like him, but, man, turning down $10M in favor of haterdom is an all-time, world-class, heavyweight champion hater move

i can't stop thinking about this video. how the campaign started w/ Mamdani as an unknown basically...just like out reporting on the political apathy in 2024. figuring out why people felt jaded. and then working to bring about the opposite. beyond remarkable www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Tur...

Among other things, this night is a repudiation of every column written by Ezra Klein, Matt Yglesias, Ross Douthat, etc. etc. for the last six months or so.
