The thing I have been struck by is that the Republicans are constantly targeting the left behind industrial spots in the Midwest when the places their support is truly collapsing are wealthy suburbs

I don’t think that pro-LGBT marketing is just about segmenting off LGBT customers into their ecosystem. It’s got as much to to do with marketing to straights who don’t hate gays, and in many cases have important LGBT ppl in their life.

To call rainbow capitalism "pandering" is an understandable description, though I feel like the connotations are slightly too harsh. Corporations just want customers. As many customers as possible. It's not really malicious, even if it's not genuine allyship either.

Of course it's performative. Literally ALL advertising is performative. That is its nature, it is all a performance to try to coax people to spend money on products. Or do you think Samuel L. Jackson is just personally very passionate about telling people how great Capital One is?

Pushing random buttons and picking the ones that consistently get better-than-average results is literally how medicine works. The human body is too complicated for us to understand most treatments in advance so we just see what gets results and what doesn't.

I would have argued the same thing was going to happen in 2022 or 2024, but the 9 or 10 point gender gap in 2024 was the same as the gender gap in 2000 or 1 point under 1996 before Clinton’s affair and scandal. I’ll believe it when I see it. cawp.rutgers.edu/blog/gender-...

No matter how much we futz with the clock, the ultimate problem is that there just isn’t enough sun like November to April. The whole “daylight savings” argument was manufactured to keep us from asking the real question: why has science not figured out how to make the days longer year-round?

I just had my insurance canceled because of a shed. I demolished it when it was still hot in Tucson because I don’t want an uninsured risk like that. If a tenant has a dog that is either (1) excluded from my landlord coverage or (2) results in losing my whole policy, it’s not a red herring for me.

Small children don’t bite as hard as a few of the more aggressive dog breeds. If we are talking insurance, dogs as a whole category are riskier than children. Insurers accept the risk of a golden retriever bite, but a German shepherd that can jump over a fence and maim a human might be too much.

michaeltucsonaz.bsky.social @michaeltucsonaz.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
LLs do what insurers demand, including allowed dogs. If a landlord is lucky, they have 30 days to cure. Less fortunate ones lose insurance. I’ve been in both situations. I recently demo’ed a large, ugly shed (yayyy) in the Tucson heat (noooo) because my new policy excluded the shed. Easy decision!

A four-panel comic depicts a conversation between two characters. One character, wearing a "Make America Great Again" hat, expresses confusion about the poor state of the economy. The second character, who provides straightforward answers, suggests that tariffs are the main issue impacting the economy. Despite the suggestion that Joe Biden might still be affecting the country negatively, the second character emphasizes that economists agree tariffs are the culprit behind the economic fallout. The comic illustrates a humorous exchange where one character remains oblivious to the simple explanation provided by the other.

Gas prices have risen dramatically this year. For the typical driver, that's $65 more spent on gas monthly. If you're a typical F-150 driver in states like Alabama, Kansas, Mississippi, or Missouri, you're spending >$350 a month on gas now. We've got to give people other options.

They are just polling name recognition. That is all. We probably know of the 2028 nominee. People knew who Obama was in 2006, but he was way behind Clinton on name recognition until the race got underway.

Also, Assad’s crimes were connected to the Arab Spring. There is good reason to reference the Arab Spring and associated reforms when criticizing the US global war on terror, but that involves recognizing agency beyond the US govt and the American left.

The next steps for Gore (aside from flim-flam legal motions) were to invite a chaotic group of weird democratic activists to the national mall (like 12/20/2020) and then pushing a coup against his 1/6/2001 electoral count.

Gore wanted recounts of ballots in 4 Dem counties to catch undervotes, FL ordered a statewide recount for equal protection (undervotes should be handled equally across FL), and SCOTUS killed the recount because it was chaos inside individual counties and definitely statewide.
