We’re all looking for the guy who did this.
I can't tell if this is a commentary on people's political literacy or just their...literacy.

BTW, I say this as someone who's generally very sympathetic to the campaign's core defense, which is that the swing states where they competed drifted much less Republican than in non-swing states (which points to a strong campaign in a rough political environment).

Good questions by @danpfeiffer.bsky.social but ultimately a really disappointing / almost smug interview by senior Harris campaign.

Just one example: Quentin Fulks claiming they matched or exceeded Biden's vote share with black voters. Not true!

A related point is that Bluesky isn't generating invite codes anywhere near quickly enough to strike the right balance between exclusivity on the one hand and usefulness / exhaustiveness on the other.

Is there a Python implementation? I looked through the ATProto docs and found all the federation stuff pretty confusing.

the pitch here is incoherent: Trump was such an effective and great president that the liberal establishment is trying to imprison him. vote for me and I will try to help

Just not in the way Jessica Lessin anticipated in her (since-deleted) tweet: https://web.archive.org/web/20230208215948/https://twitter.com/Jessicalessin/status/1587165720684601345

The funny thing is that some will take this ruling as proof that the Court retains the ability to surprise / it's not entirely political, while others (e.g. me) will take it as proof that political pressure (FDR-style or otherwise) works on the Supreme Court just like anything else.

This - but also my expectation is that Armstrong and CZ will amp up culture war rhetoric too (e.g. 'woke regulators,' etc.) with an eye towards the media diet of the relevant SCOTUS justices.

I think the nature of TV news and CNN in particular makes the channel unfixable. Licht was incompetent, but Zucker was much worse because he *was* competent.

Zucker has done more to contribute to the gamification / trivialization of American politics than just about anyone else. He's been *explicit* about politics being like sports to him. He had an undisclosed relationship with a subordinate. He advised politicians while his network covered them.
