It's not a foolproof plan but every political debate from now on should be a Normal Guy competition. Ask them to describe grocery shopping in detail. Talk about what it's like to have a friend

They aren't afraid of Mamdani, they are worried about what he would unleash among VOTERS. That those voters would say: "actually, we're not buying this centrist bullshit you've been shoveling for decades, we want something else." That's what's being litigated in these Dem elites are worried essays.

Filmmaker Guillermo del Toro says 'I'd rather die' than use generative AI

Two corpses, everything's fine
We’ve reached a point in history similar to that moment in the movie Clue—long after they screamed their heads off each time a new dead body was found—when the group silently walks from one corpse to the next, pausing briefly at each before moving on, like zombie robots in collective resignation.
