Ah yes, the always-effective tactic of giving in to a bully so they change their behavior. Classic.

If your dislike of something is so fragile that even hearing why others like it is intolerable, you might want to question why you dislike it.

It is hard because if it was easy, they wouldn’t be able to charge you for it.

I’m for terms limits but if he announces another run, every living former president should immediately do the same.

Honestly at some point you have to start doing psyops with these people:

Have Obama announce that he will seek a third term tomorrow. Then watch all the con law “scholars” and Fix News MELT DOWN trying to explain why he can’t but Trump can. (It’s like Newsom taking over his social media persona)

Q: One theory on how you might try to serve a 3rd term is that you could run at the vice president

TRUMP: Yeah, I'd be allowed to do that. But I would rule that out because it's too cute.

I am on the record as saying we should prioritize things that have the highest agreement (paying teachers more is an easy example). But the examples they use are actually wrong, if that’s the metric.

i'm fine with a deeper focus on economic issues over social issues but man does plank 2 give the game away
To give ourselves the best chance to win, we recommend the following changes to our approach. Democrats need to: Focus our policy agenda and our messaging on an economic program centered on lowering costs, growing the economy, creating jobs, and expanding the social safety net. Advocate for popular economic policies (e.g., expanding prescription drug price negotiation, making the wealthy pay their fair share in taxes, raising the minimum wage to $15 an hour) rather than unpopular economic policies (e.g., student loan forgiveness, electric vehicle subsidies, Medicare for All). Convince voters that we share their priorities by focusing more on issues voters do not think our party prioritizes highly enough (the economy, the cost of living, health care, border security, public safety), and focusing less on issues voters think we place too much emphasis on (climate change, democracy, abortion, identity and cultural issues). Moderate our positions where our agenda is unpopular, including on issues like immigration, public safety, energy production, and some identity and cultural issues. Embrace a substantive and rhetorical critique of the outsized political and economic influence of lobbyists, corporations, and the ultra-wealthy, while keeping two considerations in mind: First, voters' frustrations with the status quo are not the same as a desire for socialism. And second, criticizing the status quo is a complement to advocating for popular policies on the issues that matter most to the American people, not a substitute.

A part of AI adoption is driven by capitalization of knowledge and death of community. People used to help each other (for free!) and now we have service fees and social pressures that make it easier to just ask the bot.

So if you prefer a world with less AI, maybe go say hi to your neighbor.

More than many things, this worries me. Reshaping a department in a way that could be weaponized as soon as you lose control of it is a sure sign that you don’t plan to ever lose control of it.

“He has endeavoured…to cause, in violation of the constitutional rights of citizens, income tax audits or other income tax investigations to be intitiated or conducted in a discriminatory manner.”

New York health officials have confirmed the first locally transmitted case of the chikungunya virus which causes high fever, joint pain and fatigue.

It’s usually a tropical virus, but there are now infected mosquitoes spreading in New York. (NYT)

“Do what works.” Yep, but an amazing amount of the time, people don’t even have a definition of what success is. If you don’t know what you want, how can you get it?

On the coast, my parents don’t have internet. There is no cell phone coverage. I have parked the minivan outside a library at 4am to take a work call more than once.

We have to fight for rural America or there will be no more rural Americans.
