As Kamala proved, they’d rather lose elections than advocate for policies their big donors don’t approve.
What also baffles me is that Democratic Party is ~30 points underwater in favorability & Zohran Mamdani is ~16 points above water in favorability.
The Dem Party establishment, who is responsible for the abysmal rating, is too arrogant to support the guy ~50 points ahead of them. Incredible.

If you want to put back statues and memorials and names of Confederate traitors while tearing down museum exhibitions on slavery because they don't show the greatness of the nation... the nation whose history you're celebrating is whiteness. The kind of nationalist you are is a white nationalist.

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

In Order to Defeat a Toddler, You Must Think Like a Toddler
Three-year-olds are stubborn, irrational, and endlessly frustrating. But in a world obsessed with optimization and order, writes Vince Mancini, they’re also a means of escape from a quotidian reality.

Pope Francis was the first Jesuit pontiff. Social justice — not a buzzword, but a real tradition — was central to his worldview.
He frequented refugee camps, hospitals, prisons. He rebuked Trump and Vance’s mass deportations. He stood for service, and against cruelty.
RIP.
