Calvin, friend of Hobbes, exclaims in front of his mom, "Mainstream commercial nihilism can't be trusted?!" and his mom, leaning tiredly on her elbow at her desk replies, "'Fraid not, kiddo."

Massachusetts voter here. Ed Markey won because he is a real one, and he has been a real one for years, and people trust that. Principled progressives win - especially against AstroTurfed generational warfare with regressive talking points that undermine popular opinions.

1. Anti-trans Democrat Seth Moulton just lost his Senate primary in a LANDSLIDE to outspoken trans ally Ed Markey. To Moulton, trans kids were a liability the Democratic Party needed to abandon. But to Massachusetts voters, the only liabilities are Democrats like him.

Well, what I always say, "I just want everybody to be treated good." I try not to get into the politics of everything. I try to get into the human element of it. I have some of everybody in my own immediate family and in my circle of employees. I've got transgender people. I've got gays. I've got lesbians. I've got drunks. I've got drug addicts — all within my own family. I know and love them all, and I do not judge.

And I just see how broken-hearted they get over certain things and I know how real they are. I know how important this is to them. That's who they are. They cannot help that any more than I can help being Dolly Parton, you know, the way people know me. If there's something to be judged, that is God's business. But we are all God's children and how we are is who we are.

Being far from a classist, I do think of one of the things I have read - Aristotle's Poetics where (among other things) he defends the new kid tragedy from the bullying of fans of austere Epic Verse, noting the many things it does which Epic Verse doesn't, and how neat they are. This stuff is old.

I hired my kiddo to do some game/zine marketing for me. He insists this is a marketing meme format that works.
A pie chart with a large blue segment and a smaller yellow segment that asks "Should I get into journaling games from The Ink That Bleeds or The Balsam Lake Unmurders?". The legend shows that the larger blue area is "Yes" and the smaller yellow area is "Yes, but In Yellow".

Do you want to know how popular school vouchers are? They have never won on a ballot. Not once. In any state. Ever. The only way states are able pass a school voucher scheme is behind closed doors. Legislatively. The people would never approve their tax dollars going to private religious schools.
