Before anyone mobs me saying I should run for office, know that I would be bad at it. I have the correct opinions and probably decent policies, but being a good politician seems to be mostly talking to people, which I would avoid at all costs until voters took my salary away.

It CAN work, but, like, cult deprogramming is its own occupation, and even the best of those guys would have trouble reaching anyone in 40 minutes over a Sweetgreen bowl. And very few people are pure o’heart enough to appeal to a MAGAt’s inner decency. Mr. Rogers. Daryl Davis. Not me.

I get the idea: statically that if 10 million leftists had lunch with 10 million MAGAts, 400,000 might reconsider some prejudices. But I also think unless you are a psyops expert, going to lunch with anyone with any goal other than eating a midday meal, you will be disappointed.

Smart, well-intentioned people are still aware of what the NYT, WSJ, and basic news like Yahoo News are saying about AI, along with having jobs where they interact with other humans. There’s no liberal equivalent of the conservative mediareality distortion field. We know what’s happening.

🎃
A 7 panel comic by the artist. First panel: The artist is running from a distance towards a group of people playing basketball in the park. The artist is holding a pumpkin above their head and screaming "AAAAAAAAA". Second panel: The artist has leapt up and is in position to slam dunk the pumpkin into the basketball hoop. Panel three: the pumpkin splatters violently against the backboard of the basketball hoop, sending orange pumpkin goop everywhere. Panel four: the players stand staring, covered in pumpkin goop and shocked. Panel five: the artist stares at them wide-eyed, also covered in the goop and says "it's October FIRST". Their hand reaches towards their face. Panel six: the artist rips off their own face like a rubber mask to reveal a skeleton beneath. Panel 7: the group of players stand shocked and horrified, watching as the skeleton falls to the ground in a pile of bones, the sound effects says "CLATTER".

All I want is a Ratchet that turns into a model of ambulance that’s actually been in service in the past 25 years, and a non-Bay Optimus whose trailer hitch doesn’t look like a pair of legs. Ordinary robots that turn into ordinary vehicles for ordinary people. Storyline be damned.

There is a moment at the very very end of Abdul El-Sayed's podcast with Ezra Klein (book recommendation section) where he talks about the idea of "speaking truth to pain" and this will be staying with me for an extremely long time. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/25/o...
But there’s also something about truth to pain. We talk a lot about truth to power, but I think it’s actually a lot harder to speak truth to pain. I say that as someone who went to medical school, realizing that in a lot of our politics right now, we’ve got to get a lot better at speaking truth to pain if we’re going to get through some of these challenges that we have.

What does “truth to pain” mean?

It’s one thing to look power in the eye and say: You’re wrong about this. But there’s a way in which pain is very difficult to reason with. Because when somebody is in their pain, they’re in their trauma. They see that pain, and they may not see what’s causing it.

I remember just very explicitly being in a trauma ward with a gunshot wound patient and watching this big guy with his hand on his gunshot wound. All the folks are trying to pull his hand off his pain, that point of his gunshot wound, this clear vulnerability.

And this emergency room doctor had the presence of mind to be like: Everyone, stop. And she looks him in the eyes, and she’s like: I get that really hurts, and I’m so sorry that you’re here. You don’t want to be here. We don’t want you to be here. But if you don’t let us fix this, you could die. So I’m going to take your hand, and I’m going to move it off, OK? Because I need to get there so that you can live.

She was speaking truth to pain. He understands he’s at the hospital, he needs care, but he also doesn’t want anybody to touch the wound. Which is a natural thing. And I think it is a really great metaphor for how we think about a lot of these challenges we talked about today.
