I watched an old BBC documentary on Yes this weekend, and it made me wonder, what are some other bands where one member is just a wee li'l guy and another one is a lumbering giant? It's a great dynamic.

Do all these people who think Zohran Mamdani is a political genius think it's some coincidence that his endorsements did not all flood in at once back in June, but have come over time, building up and creating a sense of momentum?

Also even if you don’t give a shit about the White House it’s time to shut the fuck up about this and pretend you do to your normie friends.
I know we’re all very cool and cynical but I’m laying down a marker that “demolished the White House to make a gaudy ballroom for bribery parties” is going to be a thing they regret doing

Meta’s Ray-Ban glasses usually include an LED that lights up when the user is recording other people. One hobbyist is charging a $60 to disable that light, and has a growing list of customers around the country.

the axios origin story is that a couple Washington Post journalists thought the newspaper that won a pulitzer for fabricated articles was a bit too substantive so they left to create POLITICO, and then they thought Ben Smith's haircut journalism was too substantive so they left to create Axios.

I know that ad hominem is technically a logical fallacy, but it’s also an excellent shorthand for filtering out the worst people and saving yourself time and energy.
If the worst person you know has an excellent point to make, it’s probably also been made by someone kinder and more intelligent.

There's nothing Third Way wants more than people to actually treat them as Democratic taste makers & strategists. But I'm simply not convinced that they actually are either so much as a bunch of people on the outs w/every major Dem faction promising victory if people remade the party in their image.
