Putting aside the odiousness of this, I continue to be baffled by Fetterman’s pivot. I’ve never seen a candidate turn so hard and so openly against his own base. www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

Not that I think CEOs like Musk or Altman have our best interests at heart but it is truly bizarre to hear them say they need regulation and a slowdown on research and for Trump to essentially accuse them of treason for doing so.

Been playing a lot of Pillars of Eternity while I wait for the subbing jobs to come in and Sagani keeps reminding me of @aderynsly.bsky.social. But, you know, Alaskan Native counterpart culture, short, wanders the wilderness, is stealthy… Oh and she’s a mom 😄.

At this point I‘m basically convinced 99% of British actors would say yes because they think it’s a gold mine opportunity. Depressing but true I think.

If I had to name one thing in the field of my major that I think is incredibly stupid but widely accepted it's equating education degree with social class. It's used because it's easier to track than wealth and income, not because it's actually a good metric.

I like Critical Role but I’ll admit even as someone who isn’t hard committed to D&D I haven’t been impressed from the live plays of Daggerheart they’ve done so far (limited as they are) or some of what I’ve heard about it.

So... this woman knows I like her because she asked about it and we've gone on two dates and she is continuously warm and friendly in person but also frequently leave me hanging on text *except* when she's trying to fiddle out logistical details. I'm still trying to figure out what this means.

Nate Silver of all people did a recent analysis examining how the way we define “working class” in politics is kind of stupid because it emphasizes education over… you know, actual career, income, or wealth.
