Imho, dem ads should be blunter. Not sure about ai slop
This is random speculation but I think a lot of Dem candidate ads are “too good” in terms of aesthetics and cinematic quality and it would probably be more effective to be pushing more cheap-looking AI slop.

Charlie Kirk called me a ‘lunatic’ and a ‘prostitute’ and demanded I be deported.
Nothing, *nothing*, justifies killing him, or robbing his kids of their dad.
We don’t know the identity or motive of the shooter but murder can *never* be the response to political disagreements.

Most people would agree that it’s possible to live off reheated meals but it’d be a sadder version of living.
And yet living off reheated knowledge is apparently a 500 billion dollar idea.

What makes this funny is that the product that is being sold with this chart clearly made the chart, and so simultaneously demonstrates why the product is simply not worth anything in this space.

SCOOP: Mamdani Identified as Asian and African American on College Application
I co-report for The New York Times: Zohran Mamdani was born in Uganda. He doesn’t consider himself Black but said the application didn’t allow for the complexity of his background.

“The New York Times collaborated with a white nationalist eugenicist hacker and agreed to keep his identity a secret to publish a Zohran Mamdani hit piece” is a way bigger story than “18 year old Zohran Mamdani ticked ‘African American’ on his Columbia application because he was a citizen of Uganda”

Consider two photos: one of an immigrant mother being separated from her child and another of a burning car. Which leads the news? Which focuses attention on the harms of mass deportations? A challenge of violent protest tactics is that they often shift attention away from the injustices they decry.
Those concerned about violence might want to start with violence against immigrants, by ICE here, by illegal deportations to gulags and third countries, the violence against so many federal departments, against the law, the climate, the public lands, waters, civil rights, reproductive rights...

Gutting NCES was optimal move if you’re goal was to maximize service disruption while minimize savings
Yesterday, June 2, was an interesting day at work. I was reporting a story about how the Education Department hadn't delivered a report to Congress on the Condition of Education, despite the June 1 deadline mandated by law. 🧵 (1/9)

From 1997-2000, gdp growth in USA exceed 4%, which it hasn’t done since excluding 2021, which was just bouncing back from COVID
nothing, truly nothing, prepared me for people being genuinely nostalgic for life in like, 1997
I used to think that 'medieval peasants had it better than US office workers' was the ultimate in online self-pity and historical ignorance but 'video games were cheaper in the 1990s and life as a gamer was better' might have it beaten just because some of these dumb fucks were actually alive then.

Stephen Miller says they are “actively looking at” suspending the writ of habeas corpus, which is only allowed when the US has been invaded or during an insurrection, which would not allow people to challenge their incarceration in court if they are arrested and detained.
