“Climate change has fallen into the ‘friend zone’ of voting.” @shannonosaka.bsky.social @kcrowebasspro.bsky.social report that Democrats are hardly talking about climate change anymore, focused on energy affordability instead:
Climate change is out. Energy affordability is in.
A Washington Post analysis of Democratic lawmakers’ appearances and social media posts show they are going quiet on climate.

Two-thirds of Democrats say their own party makes them feel frustrated. By far the most commonly cited reason is that the party is not pushing back hard enough against Trump. www.pewresearch.org/politics/202...

Very proud of this one from @gedge1.bsky.social: The complete story, and the legacy, of "Take on Me" -- and the unfinished tale of A-ha. www.washingtonpost.com/entertainmen...
‘Take On Me’ has been stuck in our heads for 40 years. Here’s how it got there.
“Take On Me,” the 1980s synth-pop hit song from the band A-ha, marks 40 years of global ubiquity even while personal disputes have chilled the Norwegian trio.

One of the high points of my early years at The Post, as a kid who grew up in New York in the 1980s, was having a byline on Mario Cuomo's obituary. The extent to which that surname was tarnished prior to the past few months and absolutely dragged into the gutter in the past few weeks is staggering.
