I ask again, why are national Dems letting Elon "quietly" fund these races? We have two test cases. 2024 when Dems didn't make his money an issue. And 2025 Wisconsin, where they did. Guess which time they won by double digits?

Elon Musk’s America PAC Is Quietly Funding November’s Most Consequential Elections
America PAC’s approach has been unusual: for every dollar it has spent supporting GOP Senate candidates, it has spent almost three dollars attacking Democrats.

Picked up College Football 27 to cope with the Michigan offense's current state and I hate our offense there too. Why are there so many option plays and counters? What is this misdirection doing for anyone?

Rolled credits and got the platinum on Wolverine. It's a lot of fun for what it is. Loved how good the combat felt even if it was on the simpler side. Troy Baker is great as Nathaniel Essex. Same for Brett Gipson's Sabretooth. Now I want DLC and/or a full on X-Men game before I turn 40.

Made the mistake of dithering around in Control before Resonant comes out. I remember liking it but not enough to go back and do a lot of the side content. Just did the Alan Wake side quest and I'm hooked.

It’s very simple. A reality TV host became dictator because he turned down a role for Sharknado 4 and that’s why the king of outer space, who cheats at Diablo, got to kill Africa. Now the economy is controlled by a sex cult that has something to do with Harry Potter fanfic because of robots.

Tweet by Greg Casar opposing AI billionaires, quoting a tweet from Meredith Lee Hill that says Democratic advisers are warning candidates not to go too hard against AI.

"Hell no. We will win the midterms by going hard AGAINST the AI billionaires. Not by sucking up to them."

I bought an Acura RDX last December. Love driving it but every time I have to fill her up I think about trading it in for an EV. Went from paying $$30-40 to fill it up with Premium in Feb to near $60 with regular over the weekend. Gas has gone up $.30 since here in CLT, right around the national avg
Gas Buddy graphic with today's national average gas prices. Regular gasoline averages out to $4.355/gal. Diesel fuel is at an average of $6.301/gal.

Saruman telling Gandalf, "Your love of the halfling's leaf has clearly slowed your mind."

Response post: "never forget when saruman literally told gandalf 'you've been smoking too much weed bro'"

Counter-response: "You're smoking too much weed," says the guy who got addicted to manosphere podcasts on his orb and started a fascist militia with a side hobby of deliberate environmental destruction. Started cutting down trees to own the woke elves.

My takeaway from every new Epstein revelation is that some powerful people victimized many powerless young women, many more knew, some actively enabled it--and we're still being told that MeToo and accountability for sexual violence have gone too far

like this is basically it, the melts melted under pressure
More than anything else, this is what led some Senate Democrats to cut a deal: Trump’s willingness to hurt people exceeds their willingness to see people get hurt. I want to give them their due on this: They are hearing from their constituents and seeing the mounting problems, and they are trying to do what they see as the responsible, moral thing. They do not believe that holding out will lead to Trump restoring the subsidies. They fear that their Republican colleagues would, under mounting pressure, do as Trump had demanded and abolish the filibuster. (Whether that would be a good or a bad thing is a subject for another column.) This, in the end, is the calculation the defecting Senate Democrats are making: They don’t think a longer shutdown will cause Trump to cave. They just think it will cause more damage.

If I were in the Senate, I wouldn’t vote for this compromise. Shutdowns are an opportunity to make an argument, and the country was just starting to pay attention. If Trump wanted to cancel flights over Thanksgiving rather than keep health care costs down, I don’t see why Democrats should save him from making his priorities so exquisitely clear. And I worry that Democrats have just taught Trump that they will fold under pressure. That’s the kind of lesson he remembers.

I found it pretty charming to learn that after Roger Taney died, sitting lawmakers called his death a "victory for liberty and the Constitution," suggested that he was probably burning in hell, and joked (?) that they'd rather hang him in effigy than do literally anything to honor his memory

Roger Taney’s Contemporaries Hated Him As Much As You Probably Do
Ordinarily, members of Congress do not publicly suggest that recently deceased Supreme Court justices are burning in hell. But Roger Taney was no ordinary Supreme Court justice.
