The tiny, three-pound tilcayo is the first cat species to be described in a century, and, yes—it is as cute as you’d think.

Sen. Susan Collins helped steer millions in federal defense contracts to Navatek, whose CEO illegally funneled thousands of dollars to her campaign. The FBI sought to launch a probe and was eyeing Collins and other lawmakers. Then Trump gutted the unit in charge. THREAD 🧵

This week's comic on the folly of triangulating with oligarchs
The trouble with oligarchy-curious Dems


Actual Democrats aren’t inspired to vote for them

Politician on TV: I’m so open-minded, I voted for all of Trump’s nominees, and I love data centers!

Woman in chair: I’m staying home.


Republicans won’t vote for them

Voter at ballot box: A demon-CRAT?

No way!


Low-info swing voters aren’t concerned with performative “centrism”

Guy walking out of convenience store with case of Brapp Lite: I just like the guy who yells.


Triangulation: It finds the sweet spot!

Consultant: We’ve zeroed in on one voter named Gus.

I heard this explained as the potluck theory of free speech. Found the original post but not sure who the author is.
I was thinking of the "free exchange of ideas" last night. You know, it's not like a market, it's like a potluck. Everyone brings their own ideas and you sample others and some are familiar with a twist, some are interesting but not to your taste, some are bad, some are lifechanging. You can get into a discussion about recipes or technique, or what have you as people talk about the food.

If some brings mashed potatoes, you can debate the appropriateness for a potluck: is it too bland? Will it get cold on the table? Do potatoes make up too much of our diet?

But if someone puts a steaming platter of dog shit on the table, we're not going to debate it. And when we tell them to take it off the table, it's not because we are afraid of eating their dog shit or we think that it's going to revolutionize lunch but we don't want to allow that to happen.

We tell them to get it off the table because there is no debate to be had. It's dog shit. It's not an open question, it's not a matter of palettes or picky eaters.

That's why we don't engage with neo-nazis and white supremacists, and it's why we don't (or shouldn't) let them come to the potluck.

Illustration of a Malayan tapir (Tapirus bairdii) standing in tall grass near water. The tapir has a rounded body with distinctive dark brown to black fur marked by white vertical stripes and spots, especially on its sides and legs. Its head is elongated with a short prehensile snout, large rounded ears, and dark eyes. The scene suggests a natural habitat with green plants and water nearby. The image is a detailed, colored lithograph from a 19th-century zoological publication, capturing the tapir’s characteristic markings and body shape for scientific study.
