So @cwarzel.bsky.social highlights how unimpressive these people are, and I want to reaffirm how that’s a critical part of how these abusive systems keep functioning.

If they were impressive people, then there would be no myth that you could also be powerful and rich to draw you in too.

Four in 10 women under the age of 45 say they'd like to permanently leave the U.S. Probably not coincidentally, they have also disproportionately lost trust in American institutions, including in the Democratic Party.

Growing up in a time when “selling out” was the most shameful thing you could do and then being forced to live through the 2020s feels like being kicked in the head by a horse every day

Still processing the inanity of this cave, like, "We're going to make Republicans go on record that they want to destroy the ACA." You mean the motherfuckers who radicalized in opposition to it & voted to repeal it, like, 22 times? You're finally getting them on record? Really impressed over here

Okay wait — the senate capitulated, SNAP payments are still on pause, AND they went back to work just to ban CBD gummies?!?
More than 15 Senate Democrats join GOP to advance nationwide ban on hemp products, including CBD gummies,
oh the paul amendment is going down 78-22

Check your ballot. It’s possible that it’s been challenged due to leaving the ballot envelope unsigned or a signature mismatch. You can cure that with King County Elections so your ballot is counted! kingcounty.gov/en/dept/elec...

DATA CENTERS for the PEOPLE

what in the whole ass world
Sam Altman addresses recent controversies about OpenAI’s financial commitments.

He says they aren’t seeking a government bailout but instead recommend governments invest in chip fabs and datacenters for the people.

He also says they’ll make $20B this year and can afford to spend $1.4T over 8 years

It really felt like there were more people than previous elections at the drop box by Garfield — cmon last minute procrastinating Seattle, LFG 🤘
King County also has data for Seattle specifically on ballot return method. Yesterday, 91,457 ballots came in by drop box. That's over 90% of all ballots returned yesterday.

New York Times editorial board has compiled "a list of 12 markers of democratic erosion." www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

This is what "not the odds, but the stakes" was all about.

During the 2024 campaign, those 12 markers could have been in place and operating to guide news coverage everywhere.

I am obsessed with this new Lily Allen record. It’s just a stunning piece of art. I love all the subtle tempo changes and little bits of melody warping when the dream starts to go wrong. I love the storytelling.

I hope some of you are obsessed with it too.

Valve isn't nice or your friend, its just that no one has a gun to their head demanding they meet some made up growth goal every year or else. So they just do what works and makes money with as little risk as possible. Like a normal fucking business.
