I'd like to hear a good argument for why it's not Ossoff in '28.

Is AI simply brute forcing its way through math problems the way it can guess a password/code by shear dint of limitless guessing? Humans don't crack passwords, not because we don't understand, but because we don't have the capacity to try all the combinations Or is this something wholly different?

Has anyone in Blazer history tanked their Q-rating faster than Dewayne Hankins? Went from affable business guy to the face of Dundon's BS where he eats shit daily and regularly trashes the city. Have some self-respect.

Seeing a lot of Crowley ads in Milwaukee. In my football viewing experience, at least 2:1 Crowley to Tiffany. (Regarding the content of the Crowley ads, exceptionally safe and down the middle.)

Glad these knobs could join forces to deliver the message so many of our average dudes need to hear: "To do great things, you're going to be hated." The critics have nothing to offer. Ignore them. They are only slowing your greatness.

Amen. A bit of a separate issue, but from a similar "Do you think we're made of money?" tree: We've started getting feedback that two independent surveys/experiments are expected to be considered for some publications.

These maps are the clearest, most obvious indication of how insincere R politics are in 2026. It's such a brain-dead concept that anybody with an iota of critical faculties knows instantly it's bullshit But they run them out ad nauseam, because they have nothing else and think we're fucking dumb

This story is indeed insane. They literally *discounted his correct answers* (on questions about the Constitution) so that a Trump supporting girl who wants to go to Hillsdale College could win $25K and be televised meeting Trump. So. Gross.

The policy is humane, sensible, strategically very smart and great incrementalism. But the other side is up in arms over holding kids accountable to their school lunch bills. They're entirely devoid of empathy and willing to go to war over what amounts to rounding error money.

Saw a new worst tattoo yesterday. At the suburban pool, a middle-aged dad had a bow-tie tattooed just above his sternum (typical bow-tie location). I bet that killed when he was 25. Tough look now.

Feels like the combination of hard leftward swing of the state Supreme Court, the ungerrymandering of state districts and the general bad Republican vibes nationally has sent lots of Wisconsin Rs heading for the exits. Too bad, really.
