I don’t know about the science of this but I strongly hope this is the case and I will start adjusting my habits accordingly as it becomes viable. I will eat the Frankenstein food. I will live in the pod.
I think what is going to happen is that lab-grown meat will gradually catch up with real animals and when that happens we will all quietly admit that the vegans were right about factory farming
i'm convinced if we ever tried to touch the rail of meat politics in America (something that's going to eventually need to happen in order to reduce CO2 emissions), it would lead to a huge right-wing shock

I guess it's called "corruption." I've never heard that before. I said wow what a beautiful word. It comes from the Latin [spicy voice] corrumpere. But it's something we're doing and we'll be doing it perhaps more than ever before

A developer is offering to do 1/3 more affordable units than required—and 130% more than have been produced in the 18 year history of Evanston’s policy—for zero actual budget outlay from the city, and Council is saying do less
Kelly says she asked about seeing it at the 15%, less tax discounted level, rather than the 20% level. Developer guy behind me sighs *heavily*.
Kelly should propose big projects she likes. Pitch proactive upzonings of the sites. Or hell, support quadplexes everywhere. Oh wait.

I’m loving this retro football game where instead of playing the modern game that includes the forward pass, both teams are running it on all four downs, trying to figure out how to punt, and slipping around in the mud. Maybe they’ll start running a few plays out of the Wishbone in the second half.

This is so funny. Someone is actually trying to convince me that I don’t know that Schumer voted for Cuomo. These are the people who talk down at us like only they know how politics works.
See, you don’t even deny you didn’t vote Dem lmao got you dead to rights.

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

Napoleon said “never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake,” but they don’t even think Trump is their enemy.
Trump just had one of the lowest, worst weeks in the history of the American presidency. Yet, he emerged as the winner at the end. And it is not because he is "good" at politics. It's because Democrats are so very bad at it.

This was the first time in years it felt like we were actually making progress stopping the fascists from consolidating their power. All of it, gone, because they wanted to go home.
Last time this happened was early 2021 when they gave them a do-over from the Jan 6 coup, which is how we got here.

the thing that upsets me about this the most is that Dems had all the momentum, republicans were reeling, and we were getting intra-GOP fighting over the filibuster, all while voters were blaming republicans for their incompetence

Voting to fund the government means you voted to fund everything the government is doing. That's the whole point. It's not about some narrow this or that on the margins. You own the whole enchilada, you're saying "yes, this overall package for everything the government's doing is acceptable to me."

The last Dem presidential nominee who wasn't a Senator was (Bill) Clinton. He was awful for other reasons but Senate Brain wasn't one of them. Obama was the best president of our lifetimes because he had only two years of Senate Brain, but he blew his potential by getting bogged down in the Senate.
this was also Biden's fatal flaw which i think can be largely attributed to the fact he was a Senator

The sports metaphor applies because sports is a realm where people intuitively understand that decisions made by coaches and players can have a decisive effect on the outcome. But with politics, people like this are always trying to sell you the idea that things could not possibly have gone better.
White voters constantly treating actual politics like sports & protesting the wrong team at the polls is a pretty consistent part of the problem.
If your team’s offense puts up pretty good numbers for four quarters, and your defense doesn’t give up too many big plays, and your QB gets into field goal range on the last possession, but your special teams loses you the game by shanking a chip shot, it is okay to be angry at the coaching staff!

The internet is adamant that I’m instead supposed to be mad at all Dems when leadership voted no, House Dems are ethering it, & the DNC is blasting it, 3 of the Dems are retiring anyway & the rest either rep swing states or the relevant workers & aren’t up for a few yrs. Not the Republican majority.

I know this sounds mean but if you think that this is a coincidence you're more than a bit of a mark. If Kaine had been up next year, it would have been Warner, if Slotkin was retiring, Peters, etc.
The coordinated nature of this—none are facing voters in 2026—means that either Schumer approved it or failed in his job as Senate Majority Leader to stop it.
Dems voting "no" get zero credit until they demand a change in leadership. Schumer out as Leader, Durbin out as Whip.
