You might be surprised to hear me say this, but I think Zohran Mamdani is the future of the Democratic Party. Just not for the reasons you probably think. He has a sharp strategic mind and the credibility to say uncomfortable truths to his own people and be heard rather than exiled.

Trump’s attacks on the media are more than just about freedom of the press. But they are also about his threat avoidance especially with Iran war. On the Ostrich Paradox and Trump’s cognitive flailing. My new #EarlyWarning brief: earlywarningwithjuliette.substack.com/p/trump-is-a...

Trump is an Ostrich
Trump’s attacks on the media are more than just about press freedom. He’s avoiding reality.

I think the main thing to realize is that he plans to use all this equipment he’s bringing into D.C., at the ballroom, the arch, Nat Guard, etc. against Americans if he feels it’s needed, not against a foreign enemy.

one way to align incentives correctly here would be to have, rather than traditional citations, some kind of counter for how often other people have the same idea and query the dataset to see if anyone has tried it and see your 'yeah this didn't work for me' entry

I have had 2 ppl (from TX & NYC) insist I have a Connecticut accent. I told them they were ridiculous; I have no accent.... (Yes, born/raised in CT. In NJ for the past 25 years, but I guess it hasn't rubbed off on me yet)

By almost any measure Dolly embodied "the American Dream." Some people will come from nothing and make it big and consider the problem now solved. Others will remember that there are still others with nothing and use what they have to help.

After fifteen years of studying the anti-vax movement, I came to the conclusion that upholding legal requirements for vaccines for school entry is the single most important thing we can do. You cannot use facts to convince someone who did not employ facts to make their decision. So use the law.

Ok so this lady says solar panels are getting built on "the most productive farmland" in her area. Which just ain't true at all. It ain't true here in NC either. Where I ALSO hear that talking point over & over again. Smells like astroturf! So let's get the dirt on solar farms & dirt ✨

When it comes to losing weight, it turns out the simple math of counting calories doesn’t always add up.

One of the things I hate most about Trump is that he’s the ultimate thief of joy. Everything has to be about Trump or opposition to Trump. He or his followers inject him into absolutely everything. It sucks. Honestly you don’t realize how pervasive it is until you go abroad and get respite from it.

I think one reason people here attribute all bad things to Reagan (much as some right-wingers do with Biden now) is that when we become super-tribal, we must have sin-eaters: People who take on all the terrible things of other people we'd rather not blame. It's simple, it's redemptive, it's easy. /1
