I saw this in politico and it chilled me to the core. Like yeah that’s why political parties exist

"Several donors I know are still all-in for Platner because he's not Susan Collins and he's a Democrat," said Alex Hoffman, a Democratic strategist and donor adviser.
"The line that keeps being thrown around is the double standard that exists between Republicans and Democrats, where if this was a Republican, they'd all be getting behind him.

I wonder why there aren’t any African countries on his list despite

I grudgingly gave MLB $100 yesterday for the privilege of watching live local baseball all season and today they tell me it doesn’t count on Fridays. Why did we build the torment nexus

There’s a reason it’s mostly men is all I’m sayin’

From the article: Brooks, Alary and Millar are all men in their 50s. Of the women involved in the group, many are there seeking help for a man in their life. One member, a 30-year-old woman from Kitchener, sought out the group after her husband became convinced that he was a visionary quantum physicist chosen by God, had a psychotic break and left her. In that sense, AI is like a funhouse mirror, reflecting elements of a user’s nature back to them before using it to twist their minds. Feeling lonely, underappreciated or desperate for recognition? You may be the perfect mark.

Strongly believe this is the point Chotiner thought “fuck it, let’s see how far I can push this guy” and the fact that he later goes on to compare the interviewee to Roman Polanski and Leni Riefenstahl without any pushback just proves his point

Isaac Chotiner at his most dangerous. His subject, the cinematographer of Melania the film, compares himself to a journalist and doesn’t see the trap coming when Chotiner says “you and I are just the journalists talking, essentially”

At the beginning the song “kookaburra sits in the old gum tree” was playing in a loop in my head (annoying) but by day 3 “Under Pressure” took up residence and stayed there, especially the end part which I never paid much attention to but feels newly relevant

The lyrics to the end of Under Pressure by David Bowie and Queen, the part that starts with “keep coming up with love but it’s so slashed and torn” and descends into a beautiful defense of love

Kangaroo is on all the menus and I tried it when I got back to civilization. Stir fried! It was delicious, so amazingly tender with a slight gamey finish.

I made it. 100km of rugged coastline and the world remains mostly the same. You too can walk into the wilderness for a while! World events will or won’t happen; we can hypervigilantely witness them, or stuff like this. (Reminding myself when I forgot by next week.)

It WAS a softball interview, they were laughing and joking, he didn’t follow up on anything. If that was uncomfortable, he shouldn’t be doing interviews (and maybe more evidence they were buds before)? This is just gaslighting
