a hobby horse, basically a broomstick with a horse head at the end for pretending you're riding a horsey

it didn't let me hit post :(
screenshot of bsky post draft that has a character count of 411 characters over the 300 char limit, from me: "my hot take: take the thing you disagree with on its terms and in its contexts. that doesn't mean accept them. it means, genuinely, deeply consider them. consider the dynamics that lead a person to rationally land on that outcome. your disagreement will be more persuasive, better received, and less based on flattening and assumption. you can recognize what works and makes sense and resonates while still ultimately rejecting based on whatever: signifiers, frameworks, unintended consequences, power structures, etc. you engage with less condescension and more respect for what drives other people, people that are also generally just trying to figure out what the fuck to do and who the fuck they should be

lmao i will take this as an L under "it doesn't always work" but it would be beautiful and appropriate for this to be routed out of every venue, forum, and organization :)
screenshot of quote tweet from @USA_Polling: "Genuinely what the fuck 😭" quoted tweet: Omar El-Ayat @oelayat "Apparently, the Democrats subreddit banned any posts about Mamdani lol" included screenshot of reddit post from r/OutOfTheLoop from u/JetproTC23: subject: "What's up with total absence of any post about Zohran Mamdani (Democrat candidate) winning NYC mayoral election in r/democrats?" body: "This [link] is how the front page looks like right now" Reply fun u/venom_dP "Answer: r/Democrats has banned any talk of Democratic Socialist candidates. The mods are, arguably, intentionally banning a significant portion of the Democratic party base.”

he's always had the numbers to win, i have personally assumed a large margin of error on polls in his favor because they focus on "likely voters" but his power is in finally giving people a reason to vote where they didn't really have one before. saw this the other day, for example:
screenshot of tweets by kara mccurdy @karakul on twitter: l just met a 71 year old army vet on the W into Manhattan who leaned over and said "I like your bag. I voted for him on Sunday." We talked all the way to 59th St and as he got off the train he told me he's waited his whole life for somebody like Zohran 😭 He said his whole family of republicans is voting for Zohran! For them, it comes down to whose pockets are lined by whom, and the fact that Cuomo has spent his entire campaign aligning himself more with Trump than with New Yorkers showed him everything he needed to know. 10:32 AM 28 Oct 25

this is just literally what me and my friends do anywhere from every few weeks to 3x/wk
screenshot of bari weiss' impressively meaningless essay about Australia: The first: Hang out. But really. In the States, time with friends can feel a bit like those PETA videos of chickens on factory farms: slotted and squeezed into tight compartments. On New Year's Day in Sydney I spent seven hours at the beach. Doing what, I can't quite tell you. But seven hours spent in a shady spot by the sea with friends and food went by in the blink of an eye. I haven't had a hangout like that since college. Here, that is typical on any given Sunday. Part of the beauty of the way Australians hang out isn't just how relaxed it is, but the inclusive, rolling nature of how they socialize. I showed up for a drink at a friend's place one evening last month and within an hour four people had turned into eight and by the time I left more were en route. Happy hour is simply not a thing because it lasts only an hour. I went to an office Christmas party that began at 3 p.m. in one venue, stumbled into dinner and then morphed onto karaoke. When I hailed a cab at 11:30 I was the first to leave. In my experience, American office Christmas parties mean that everyone gets a thimbleful of lukewarm Champagne in a plastic cup. We have a lot to learn.
