Let’s talk policy and strategy, ways to communicate to voters the fact that Dems have their actual interests way more to heart than the other side. Let’s talk about avenues to progress on all the challenges that face us: locally, nationally and globally.
Bezos is reportedly calling his next AI venture “Prometheus.”
One the bros should grab “Tantalus” before it gets taken.

(Unlike Bluesky) most social media cycle through posts directed by the algorithm. It is crucial to put the date on reports of all resistance activities, so we know what is happening now and can move forward together in real time.

Since it's not good to let jealous resentment flow omnidirectionally through life, I've decided that gorgeous young couples (gay or straight) restoring rundown Italian palazzos for their private use are going be my focus.

Dick Cheney did come out against Trump, and Liz has been brave.
But can we talk about his legacy and how everything bad we dirty hippies said would come from invading Iraq has come to be?

In return for a pardon/clemency, Maxwell will testify that it was all the Clintons’ and Obamas’ fault; they were behind everything. No one in the real world will believe her, but it will bring a key part of his believers back into the fold. For him at this point that will be enough.

My current fantasy: The NYT suspends high-end lifestyle stories (“Searching for a Manhattan Pied à Terre on an 800K Budget”) until there is a return to some normality in our public/political life.

Until and unless they produce ID, the media should stop referring to the masked men throwing people into trucks as ICE. They should use phrases like “purporting to be” or “presenting themselves as,” increasing pressure to - at a minimum - show their faces and proper identification.

I asked the old punk
how we will get through this,
and he replied:
we will get through this
by taking care of each other.
So I told the old punk
that isn’t very specific,
and he replied:
taking care of each other
isn’t about doing something specific,
it’s about doing something.

From the Language Police: Never use the term “savings” or “saved” in relation to DOGE. The correct words are “cut” or “slashed.” Savings are always net - more outlays reduced than incurred. DOGE has produced virtually no savings, not even counting the human or long-term costs.

Instead being distracted by each new outburst, the media should be identifying these as points on a trajectory of mental decline. They don’t know how to do this because there is no cover-up. No big reveal. It’s all in the open. They just have to state obvious. Again and again.

As a Democrat, I want to apologize for thinking that miraculously sheparding significant legislation through Congress while walking and talking unsteadily mattered; or that voters would be put off by energetically recounted tales of electrocuted sharks.
