One of my favorite things on records is when the band turns up during a fadeout, especially when somebody's soloing or the singer starts losing it Noticed this on "Peg" and wondering which poor guitarist had to do 400 takes for Walter & Don just to have some of it cut out tidal.com/track/317688...

Steely Dan - Peg
Listen to Peg on TIDAL in exceptional sound quality, or on your choice of service

Three singles into the QOTSA record release and my read is much closer to "unclear what the appeal here is" (a la Villains) as opposed to "intentionally abrasive but clever on deeper appraisal" (Era Vulgaris)

one of the worst and most terrifying pieces of information that ive learned is that in order to make friends you kind of have to be annoying to people. and if they like it thenn you can be friends. friendship is just when you both like when the other one is annoying

What we think the GOP believes is kind of immaterial. it's about the kind of media coverage they were counting on getting from this. Thankfully for *most* outlets an obvious factual error was enough to squash the story

Underrated headwind for GOP candidates this year is how many of them are engineers or beneficiaries of a badly broken system. Very easy to show how Marshall/Paxton/Vivek/Tiffany/Collins are part of the problem

I think what they want (inter alia, but it's one of the foremost things) is _not to have been wrong_ when they went all-in for Platner and insisted only he could beat Collins, and for everyone to agree they were right and smart and not just swept off their feet by his aesthetic presentation.

My theory of the US electorate is that it's about 40% reliable D voters, 40% reliable R voters, 5% "engaged swing voters" (professional centrists, very stupid news readers), and 15% people who vote based on things that exist outside of political culture, which is something they'll never engage in

Political funding

Haywood's funding of right wing causes is conducted through the Howdy Doody Good Times Foundation,[14] a personal foundation that he directs and serves as its Secretary-Treasury. According to ProPublica, Howdy Doody Good Times Foundation is a recurring funder of SACR, the Claremont Institute, The American Conservative magazine, and American Moment, a junior staff recruiting/training organization that was founded in 2021 with the support of JD Vance.[15]

Likely voter screens historically don't improve Dem fortunes by 7 points. I continue to get the sense that polling is struggling to convey how different the electorate is from the discourse
