I believe the right response would have been, “I mean, fuck yea.”

When Hillary picked him in 2016 I was like ok so you want to lose?

It’s frankly pathetic that the Dems are message testing subsidies instead of going for broke on replacing the whole system as their midterm message. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/15/u...

To clarify, Enterprise is the last show before NuTrek. I hope the rumors of an Archer show are true.

Alex Marple @alexmarple.bsky.social · 29/10/2025
Watching Star Trek Enterprise and man...NuTrek is just such a mockery of what Trek was. How about the next show is written and showrun by three weirdos they picked up from a convention circa 1994.

Klein has lost the thread. I know the right is ascendant and whatnot but like he just wrote a fucking book about future plans. Talk to Mamdani. Talk to leftists who can refute the BS that Shapiro spews. Spencer Cox seems like a nice guy but he’s still got shitty politics. Stop platforming them.

Thank you. I’m appalled at your usually on the mark fellow opinion writer Ezra Klein’s piece. This is the right take. The level of hagiography is odd and can really only be explained as folks trying to turn the temp down to avoid MAGA revenge.

Today Apple announces new products and services. I'm gonna say it here that I bet the iPhone Air is a dud. I'd love them to bring back the mini but hey Apple famously tells you what you want, not the other way around.

It’s a real moment of truth that Democratic leadership is behind its candidates unless they don’t parrot corporatist sentiments. Mamdani is THE Democratic candidate in the race and they’re still uncommitted.

The federal government hasn’t been able to provide real answers for a while but what’s stopping states? Washington state could have done single payer and an enriched entitlement program easily. But nobody wants to own real change.

Or…we could do both? I’m not entirely clear on why California had a budget deficit this year or why legislators in any state can’t figure out a mechanism to have a specific amount of money on hand even with economic disruptions but there’s enough money to fix this problem.

So a non-technical, dime store Lex Luthor fired a bunch of engineers for not learning AI. I dunno Brian, maybe trust your employees to know what apps to use. I really hope that some engineers copy proprietary Coinbase data into Grok and it bites you in the ass. techcrunch.com/2025/08/22/c...

Oh you’ll really like B5 then. It’s only five seasons! Case in point: telepaths exist but are distrusted by humans and forced into the Psi Corps at a young age and are a secret police of sorts. If you ever wanted to see Chekov from Star Trek as a ruthless baddie, he’s in it.

Its exploration of power, corruption, the media, politics, and many other things is just shockingly good. It remains deeply relevant even now. I don’t think the BSG reboot happens if not for this show.

LLMs break down words into things called tokens. It then weighs those tokens to give you a response. Sometimes it trips up on tokens. Maybe don’t take this as some sort of “a-ha!” moment. I for one still struggle with the privilege. Doesn’t mean I can’t tell you A LOT about complex topics.

For Abbott and Paxton to issue arrest warrants for the TX Dems who've left the state...what crime have they committed exactly? And to try to dismiss them from the TXLeg, what rule have they broken? Legislators miss days of a session all the time.

It is important in future elections for Dems to do the following: 1. Don't worry about how you're going to pay for things. If it doesn't matter to the GOP, it shouldn't matter to Dems. 2. Make sure that any big change you promise comes with the caveat that it will be hard to get through Congress.

I’ll go out my way to make sure that Shapiro and others like him (looking at you Newsom) never get a chance at sitting in the Oval Office. Just obvious clowns, bought and paid for.
