What is wrong with these people? I thought Jackson really connected when he asked Susan Collins, "What will it take for you to just admit you made a mistake?"

I personally avoid ordering Mexican food in northern states, but seeing a taco salad shaped like a giant taco in Michigan has me reconsidering. Maybe I just love foods that either make me feel exceptionally large or small. Has @darthbluesky.bsky.social ever done a giant foods thread?

I mean, Obama won Florida twice and Bill Nelson was a Senator there through 2018.

I appreciate you all yelling at me telling me to under no circumstances do this. To be fair, I also got all you can eat food and an open bar today it’s just been a great one all around

Yeah but it'd sure set up a tough vote for Republicans on impeachment. I am sure Susan Collins would be very concerned about it.

my most memorable Collins quote is attributed to Harry Reid (possibly apocryphal): "She'll always be there for you, when you don't need her."

Obviously time to mass armies in Kamchatka and seal off North America, with a minor second front in Siam ahead of a breakout into Indonesia and the Australias.

Have they consider that “smarts” might be a better fit than “intelligence” since it captures the savvy, practical qualities of what we used to call AI and uses less bandwidth and memory for each mention (imagine the savings at scale!)? So it would be “Super Smarts” or . .

Man AI, AI . . . Yes it can do research and organize things and all that . . . But still, with so much horsepower, "getting things right" turns out to be v hard. Just now was walking the dog and saw an alley around the corner had been renamed "Elizabeth Catlett" alley. (1/x)

And also, at the risk of hopeskewing these polls, Kansas is tied. But how do you model the electorate where there hasn’t been a competitive statewide race in decades? Could cut any way but easy to imagine missing dem energy in a place where the old models bake in so many red voters.

Politico's good news story on today's Starship launch!
A short paragraph describing SpaceX's "big win" in which it's Starship rocket achieved orbit for the first time (after many scrubs and failures) in a mission that was "cut short due to an engine problem" and ultimate "crashed into the ocean in a fireball."  Big win!

On this day in 1988, Prince guested with Dr. Mambo’s Combo on James Brown’s “Cold Sweat” at the Fine Line Music Cafe in Minneapolis, after being coaxed onstage by guitarist Billy Franze. It was Prince’s first jam with the Combo, which included future NPG drummer Michael Bland and singer Margie Cox.

Very inspiring to be in the streets here with so many congregations and people of faith reminding that we are all from somewhere else unless we are Kumeyay (and they are here today also standing for the dignity of every person!)
Just a small part of the crowd
