this dumb shit is what i mean when i say this is a purely aesthetic “politics.” yeah man, why can’t we have a fusion of cosmopolitan social democracy and revanchist hierarchies of wealth and privilege? tough question.
Matt Stoller: “..Trump & Mamdani defeated establishment in their own way, representing hunger of voters on the right & left who want something different. If those sides cd come together.. that would be a sea change in how we organize our political economy”.

Monopoly Round-Up: Why the Establishment Freaked Out Over a Mamdani-Trump Press Conference
Meta wins its antitrust case, there are now two fire truck antitrust claims, the stock market got wobbly, and Larry Summers was exiled from the establishment, at least for now.

I think it’s fine for Mamdani to have met with Trump and it’s funny that Trump has gaga eyes over Mamdani and also everybody who is going to the mat about Mamdani being based over this *and also* insisted that congressional Dems are cucks for not suicide bombing the Oval should, uh, reflect on that.

The month the Cybertruck was released I immediately saw two of them in my part of the city, always driven by the same two guys. I was shocked. "People are actually buying this thing!"
Almost two years later, I have never seen a third.

I'm going to say Abaddon's Gate (my favourite of The Expanse series) and Mage: the Ascension 20th Anniversary core book. I will not hide what I am
alright let’s get something more pleasant going. what two books would you leave out on your coffee table so a reporter can mention you have them. doesn’t matter if you’ve read them. for me it’s Pale Fire (which I did read) and Ulysses (got like 15% of the way in)

Everyone involved in the publication of this kind of navel-gazing, apologist drivel should be drummed out of the Times and the fact that they won't be is more damning than anything the Times' critics could write about the paper

Many more people need to think about what outcomes they want and how to get there *before* events happen rather than just reacting based on how you feel when they do. The behaviour last night and this morning has been unhinged completely separate from the merits of any particular argument. I'm not

I have no predictions about what a deal will look like or even if it'll happen but I'm frankly kind of disturbed at how many people on this website do not appear to have a limit for how much suffering they think is acceptable if the GOP won't budge. Like, if your opponents are willing to be

People have worked themselves into a lather because Schumer has been unwilling to draw up the Tennis Court Oath but a shutdown fight is *exactly* the sort of terrain he's comfortable with and suited to
The amount of people showing their lack of ball knowledge by calling this 'caving' in the quotes is astounding.
This is extremely smart and doing anything otherwise would just shift the blame back to Democrats
This is extremely smart and doing anything otherwise would just shift the blame back to Democrats
SCHUMER is on the floor now making this offer to end the shutdown:
Clean CR
Bipartisan "minibus" of approps bills
1-year ACA funding extension
Bipartisan cmte to negotiate on health care
"This is a reasonable offer that reopens the government, deals with health care affordability."

idk what to tell some of you, dems are the minority party in both chambers, there's very little they can do to force republicans to prioritize their demands in a budget request, but they can't just do *nothing*. doing nothing is what's driving the nosedive in republican approval.

It is good to interact with strangers in minimally invasive ways and you don't have to do that 100% of the time but you should be doing it way more than 0% of the time. People are good and your perception that they aren't is often the result of your inability to reach out because you fear rejection
there’s a thing here about for the last decade or so, online people have been very negative about small talk - the weather, or local news, or whatever - and small talk is the grease that keeps physical interactions going, and i am tired of ceding that to shut-ins
i say thank you to the bus driver when i get on and yell thank you when i get off every day i ride the bus, and i take two buses to and from work, being nice and friendly costs you nothing and should be your default expectation for yourself because it improves your day and everyone else’s day
