Most recent book rec. I didn't luvluvluv it, but it was pretty good. THREE plot twists in the last 20-30 pages! Worth the time.

I mean, Talarico is the right Democrat for Texas but would get crushed in New York. Mamdani is the right Democrat for New York but would get crushed in Texas. This isn't hard.

When I wrote "we often rely on extraction efforts happening in other countries which may or may not be friendly" in my renewable energy video, Canada was not on my mind. But please, Canada - get nasty and fuck us up. You have every right to not be friendly, and we're counting on it.

on two occasions I have run into a dude who went with the "I identify as a woman" thing because he thinks its really funny and my learning has been that if you take his word for it and start calling him a woman he stops finding it funny in about 1 second and starts getting upset & so you don't stop

Back in the day the premise was "Rent to Own." A possibility built upon a scam. Now, we pay a monthly fee to watch TV and movies and listen to music, yet never the possibility to own. Not sure which scam is worse. Yet, both have an impact on the poor.

NYT wanted to write a story about "moderate Dems go to war with DSA," looked around, and the best they could find was a *proposal* by Third Way to spend $15M against left candidates. The story is not evidence that *Democrats* and the left hate each other... it's evidence that the NYT hates both.

I work at a public library. People who want to use AI seem to have no trouble doing so. People who don't want to use AI have a harder time. I crowdsourced and then finalized this document "How to disable or avoid intrusive AI" and then gave it a short URL: notoai.org Please pass along if it's useful

This birthright ruling is why I just refuse to tolerate all the Democrat garment rending over NY voters choosing progressive candidates. They are incapable of governing in this moment. The politics of appeasement and centrism gets us to a 5-4 decision on the constitutional question.

Seems the real problem centrist democrats are facing right now is the people are being very clear that they want leaders who will solve their biggest problems, and centrist democrats really don't want to solve their biggest problems and hate the people for wanting that. It's a real pickle for them.

Hey, Dems, let's do this: Instead of centrists freaking out about the success of progressives, maybe we could take Mamdani as a model and focus on listening to and delivering for the voters. What if we had big competition among candidates to see who could do most for voters? Just imagine.

This makes me sad. It’s hubris, not strategy.The desire to play in the space where they perceive the heavy hitters are rather than building a party base in mayorships, state legislatures & governorships that would actually make them heavy hitters. Everybody wants to be famous, but fame is not power.
