Goat cradles a small gray creature  in his arms, says to hamster “look at this puppy I found. I named him spike” hamster says “that’s a chupacabra. They drink goats’ blood.” Goat holds out his arms, the chupacabra hangs off by its teeth. Goat says “oh. So that’s why Spike’s so bitey.”

What the Dems need to do *is* to be more like Mamdani, and not give a shit what the opposition says. Which he's better at because he came to the fight from the outside. He's not white. He's not Christian, and he's not a mainstream Dem, so he learned early to blow off bullshit. That's the lesson

I often wish the Democrats would get better at identifying the (at times legitimate) fear or concern that motivates right wing voters, and also pointing out that the Republicans are lying to them about that concern, its cause, and its solutions. It's not easy, but it seems necessary.

This makes me hopeful. This number is aspirational but nowhere near out of reach: a working professional could realistically cash out their 401k and buy off a public official. Owning a senator is more attainable for most Americans than home ownership.

The image is of a four panel comic.
In the first panel we see Sarah, the protagonist, next to a stick figure labeled “AI”. The stick figure says, “my outputs look just like yours now.”
The second panel zooms in on Sarah’s face. Above her we see text reading “I think”.
The third panel zooms in closer on Sarah’s face. Text above her reads “you missed”.
The fourth panel shows Sarah drawing happily in a sunlit room. The text above her reads “the point”.

I have no problem with devoting SOME funding and effort to understanding the risk of AI killing us all. But I think it's insane that in 2026, as we're watching AI cause right-now harms to right-now people, that the ethical tech space has been almost entirely taken over by these galaxy-brain fears.

This is so much larger than most people realise. Wage theft (in a variety of pettifogging, and soul-crushing, ways) is the single largest theft in the US. Billions of dollars stolen from people. It depresses the economy by removing that money from circulation.

"This election is about the threat of trans kids" is the worst possible messaging for Dems yet so many candidates are leaning into it. No voter will flip R->D over it. Low-info voters read this as "you're focused on bullshit that doesn't affect me" while the base reads this as "you're an asshole."

It’s not “third-country deportation,” it’s an extraordinary rendition, complete with torture and enforced silence by the “host” country’s thugs. And it’s a direct consequence of never imposing punishment on the CIA for doing this during the War on Terror.
