I fear that any midterm “mandate” angry voters give them will be squandered on dinner party invites instead of building the accountability regime people are desperate for and are putting their bodies and lives on the line to get.

I attended a seminar by freshly minted Nobel Laureate Francis Halzen many years ago and something he said stuck with me, but it takes some explaining, so this will be a (short) thread. The talk was about neutrino telescopes, and he started by explaining how rarely neutrinos interact with anything.

A fun fact about neutrinos is that they come in three “flavors” (types) and also in three masses and you would think that this means each flavor has its own mass and you would be absolutely wrong about that.

I wish Apple News recognized that when I block a source — oh, let’s say it rhymes with ‘Fox News’ — it’s because I see no informational value in that source and don’t want it in my feed.

Gonna get banned from Bluesky for saying "fuck" while saying one of the following: free Palestine, ICE should be dismantled, borders should be opened to reduce human suffering, billionaires should be taxed more, and we should stop using American tax dollars to bomb innocent people.

This should be so obvious that it doesn’t need to be said, but given what kind of weekend it’s been on here, apparently it does: If you don’t want old rapists running the world, in office, in the board room, making decisions for all of us get comfortable with “ruining” young rapists’ lives

After 10 years of cravenly and fraudulently presenting the Know-Nothing Nazified Republican Party as one of two sane, understandable choices, major news organizations are not able to report the obvious, which is that U.S. voters seem to be increasingly coming to their senses. Epic, epic fail.

it's... boringly predictable that the estranged daughter of the head of the Christian Apologetics and Research Ministry would find a new role as the primary female draw for new adherents into an ideological apocalyptic machine cult.

The fact that centrists don’t believe in anything _does_ make them very programmable. You just have to figure out the interface for it, before they go back to their default of taking instructions from the right.

I think that was the idea amongst optimistic centrists. But unless you find a way to give him actual consequences, it doesn’t matter. Consequences matter. Moral approbation only works with politicians who mostly try to be ethical and fail

Democrats are well positioned to inherit power thanks to disgust with Trump, but ultimately none of this is about what Dems did in response to Trump. They mostly capitulated and are benefiting from being the other party in a two party system, I don’t have any positive expectations for them.
