Letting children be shot and killed because we want to have access to arsenals of weapons without restrictions is also political violence.

This is a very consultant-brain type of thinking bc swing voters aren’t “centrists” by any meaningful sense of the world. Their most salient ideological characteristics are, like, a general disinterest in “the news” and a loose and absolutely incoherent set of political beliefs
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has emerged as one of the Democratic Party’s leading voices. But some worry she will turn off the centrist voters needed to win competitive races.

Sorry to get so partisan, and I apologize for offending any pro-life people when I say that babies suddenly dying in preventable ways is bad, but that's how I feel.

"Your health records will be on the block chain."
"Everyone will live in the Metaverse."
"All art will be NFTs."
"Generative AI will replace the need for humans."
We need to reckon with the reality that the tech industry no longer creates things that anyone wants.

Apropos of nothing: @runforsomething.net’s budget this year is $7.5 million.
Leadership Institute, the closest analogue on the right to what we do recruiting and supporting young leaders for local office, has grown their budget from $30 million to over $50 million in the last three years alone.

This is legitimately the funniest survey response I've ever seen
More in No, Other People:
New poll:
“America would be better off if more people worked in manufacturing.”
• 80% of Americans agree
• 20% disagree
“I would be better off if I worked in a factory.”
• 25% of Americans agree
• 73% disagree
• 2% currently work in a factory

Jeffrey Goldberg thinking he was being pranked and then realizing he was actually just in the war plans group chat is such a good microcosm of how it feels to be alive right now, everything seems fake until you realize it’s actually real and incredibly stupid

These people are clearly not up for the job.
American war planning usually takes place in highly secure facilities. But the Trump administration planned its strikes on the Houthis using a group chat—and accidentally included The Atlantic’s editor in chief, @jeffreygoldberg.bsky.social. theatln.tc/AmsjsuT6

The thing that really sucks about the Gavin Newsom podcast thing where he repeatedly threw trans people under the bus is that it's all so calculated. He clearly went into it with the intention of saying something that would result in news stories being written about it.
