it says a lot about the average politician that this guy seems to expect that zohran mamdani only said what he said to get elected and doesn’t actually believe in anything
Canadian multimillionaire and Shark Tank guy Kevin O'Leary went on TV to say he's upset Zohran won't talk to him: "I and others who invest in real estate have tried to get a meeting to figure out what's rhetoric and what's policy. So far for me it's been crickets."

yeah; worth emphasizing this isn't just about schumer personally being a piece of shit. He's striking at the core of the Democratic coalition, telling tons of progressives and New Yorkers that they aren't welcome.
this shit right here is wrecker shit, as much as wrecker shit as any online leftist has done, if not more so. no wonder so many people are repulsed by anyone (rightly) saying 'vote blue no matter who', the most powerful elected Dem in the nation won't do it! it undermines the whole coalition! jfc

If you don’t like blocklists don’t use them, but the idea that they represent a liability for the platform is absurd. Social media websites are nicer when you don’t constantly encounter people who annoy you!
Blocking hatemongers is one thing but this trend of using mass block lists to avoid hearing from people who might or might not hold points of view you expect to disagree with is unhealthy imo and hurts the platform.
Bluesky was better off with folks like Margaret Mitchell and Giada Pistilli on it.

I made a sample pack with my Ellitone Multi-Synth and set up a little gumroad store. This synth is great for experimentation and sound design. I tried to capture a lot of its quirkiness with these samples.

the internet was out last night late, but I was too tired to troubleshoot, so I picked a DVD from the shelf.
unfortunately, it seems as if, in the couple decades since I bought it, the DVD has begun having issues playing. rip.
here's a pic pointing out some disc discoloration. rip.

Musk put an aside in his own online encyclopedia about how he supposedly lost 20 pounds
![Grokipedia
Musk maintains a demanding schedule, typically sleeping six hours per night, going to bed between 1 and 3 a.m. and waking around 9 a.m., a pattern he adjusted from longer workdays to prioritize recovery while managing multiple companies.[234] His diet includes occasional indulgences like morning donuts and multiple Diet Cokes daily, supplemented by intermittent fasting that contributed to a reported 20-pound weight loss, though he avoids eating or drinking alcohol two to three hours before bed to optimize sleep.[235] Exercise-wise, he favors weightlifting and strength training over cardio like running, which he dislikes, aiming for consistency to sustain energy amid 80-100-hour workweeks that often extend into weekends.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:cfy5rgqvohpdqxgu2geb5u2b/bafkreieqyh5h3tu6s2zxnwbgmdaswdehycbwlg7f4p27xfac6qzupexztq@jpeg)
