The cicada lifestyle is more appealing than ever. Hiding underground for the next 17 years only to emerge screaming, that's living the dream.

🎵 If I had to listen to one era of music forever, it would be the 70s. So eclectic. Hard to get bored. Here's a song from the top of the decade.

It is so incredibly nice to have a social platform that values links again - a breath of fresh air in the poisoned ecosystem of the creator economy

This is a good read
The racial realignment is real but modest, based on ideological sorting on cultural views (with Latinos sorting along similar lines as White voters), & may not portend policy shifts or unequal parties:

The 2024 election story is more complex than "racial realignment."
Does the GOP now have a multiethnic coalition? It's complicated, because "realignment" means different things to different people.

And yet as Democratic governors jockey to lead the #resistance to Trump, none have tied their party’s waning influence nationally to the decisions by state and local officials to restrict the supply of housing.

New >> California and New York are projected to lose up to 8 electoral votes in 2030. Texas and Florida are projected to gain 8.

If Kamala Harris had to compete with that map, even winning Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin wouldn’t have saved her. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

In the future, even winning the former “Blue Wall” states won’t be enough for the party’s presidential nominees.

I feel like the alert fatigue of four years of Trump plus the unacknowledged trauma of covid has really done a number on the nation’s psyche. We’re going into this round not recovered from the last two.
One of fascism's main tactics is to physically and mentally exhaust you. To flood the zone with outrageous bullshit, to make you bite on a dozen pump-fakes — so that when the real shot comes, you're too worn out to react.

We need to pace ourselves. It's only been a week. Alert fatigue is dangerous
