Nobody is seriously asking Dems to be a pure as snow left wing party. But what they are being asked is to run for office like you’re not embarrassed of the stuff the Democrats claim they stand for. It’s not a big ask.

My favorite part of this Flyers game is where they scored a goal after being up by two. Imagine that!

"The country is falling apart"
for whom?
Billionaires are making record profits and have reoriented the governing apparatus to guarantee them even more record-breaking years
That was the goal and it's going well for them

The Olivia Nuzzi story and the Bari Weiss at CBS story are the same story, which is that the upper echelons of legacy media are absolutely rife with people who worship power and don't feel burdened by any sense of responsibility to their profession or the public.

When people say that the Democrats would rather campaign on issues than solve them this is exactly what they mean. The thing is being the arty that drove this thru while in the minority would be great on the campaigns!!
Confirmed: House Democratic leaders have decided to use a stock trading ban bill as a campaign issue rather than actually pass something that had the GOP support to advance.
Jeffries' team is actively discouraging participation in the bipartisan bill and warning outside groups too.

A bipartisan solution was gaining momentum, but the House Democratic leader just issued his own bill that will prevent consensus.

I have Hypokalemic Periodic Paralysis. By definition it comes and goes, and you would have no idea looking at me. I'm fine 95% of the time but you better believe that sitting on a cramped airplane for a long time can be a trigger. Never judge someone based on your preconceptions of their health.
I raised this article earlier on a call and said that even if one in 20 people (which is a high guess) doesn't really need it, who cares. There are more pressing disability stories that could be told. Like wheelchairs being broken.
Also dynamic disability exists!

as an environment reporter i think the bigger convo is re the energy use of ai vs its (comparatively minimal) water use, and how the data center buildout could not only increase emissions, but also open up cultural permissions for us to pursue more fossil fuel development in the name of the AI race

Also we've fetishized "debate” in these spaces as some kind of civic good, when what matters is competence, trust, shared purpose. Medicine, engineering, boardrooms aren’t organized around debate or requirements of false balance. We've poisoned public discourse by insisting it be adversarial.
"Bluesky is an echo chamber."
"Bluesky doesn't have enough reach"
"Liberals must return to X to challenge the far right"
I'm not a tech bro or a journalist. Your priorities are not my priorities. Stop telling me I need to do anything other than chat about comics & telly with people who seem nice.

State and regional redundancy in expertise will be the only way going forward in this administration and beyond. The implications of that reality are not entirely sanguine but here we are.

The cultural impact of Rob Reiner cannot be understated. Legend isn't big enough a word. It goes to 11. You can't handle the truth. As you wish. I'll have what she's having. I'm your number one fan. You guys wanna see a dead body? The very idea of a bucket list. The West Wing.
