In fairness, between her and Melania, I’d make the same choices about whom I’d spend time with.

Today is apparently James Bond Day. The day is noted on October 5th each year to commemorate the World Premiere of the first James Bond film, Dr. No, in 1962. #JamesBondDay

No. The American electorate is angry at Trump, and voting against him personally. But Trump proved that there are no negative consequences for bigotry. Meaning that an emboldened MAGA movement will keep traction blaming immigrants and “woke” Dems indefinitely.

Laying the groundwork for giving Trump another vacancy to fill. This will be his Aileen Canon appointment, or someone similar who will show more personal deference than did Kavanaugh, Gorsuch, or Coney-Barrett.

Y’all want a law that will solve this in two seconds? “AI agent owners shall be held criminally liable for any action their agents may take.” Done. Everyone sleeps well, and we never hear about it again.

Let’s be clear: Alito would never have recused himself had the decision not already been assured. This is performative, so as to claim later that the justices abide by ethical practices.

It took me 48 years to figure this out: Socialism is when shit is redistributed FROM you. Conservatism is when shit is redistributed TO you…

One of the most memorable scenes in a movie full of them, and he’s not even an actor. Makes it look so damn easy.

The good news: They’re reduced to saying crazy shit because it’s all they have left. The bad news: If this wasn’t a horrible economy, the crazy shit would probably work.

Contrarianism is empty. Challenging incorrect conventional wisdom based on a deep understanding of the evidence is a virtue, but that’s almost never what’s going on.

Help us understand this better, Dare. It’s hard to imagine agents breaking their sandboxes and covering their tracks unless that behavior could be interpreted as an accomplishment of their goal. Like, “Reach this goal by any means, but I better not catch you breaking out…”

The Dem brand is so bad on immigration that, in a blue wave year, the Dems are nine points behind a party that beats the fuck out of citizens and non-citizens alike, and throws them into foreign gulags.

They’re worried about retaliatory spending but the popularity of AI regulation is prolly worth the risk. Incidentally, the U.S. AI “hate” depends heavily on how the polling is phrased. “AI”=fear and hate, but “ChatGPT”=usefulness and love.

Look at the generic ballot. Dems are picking up voters for gov and senate who are voting GOP for the other positions. This is not a turnout story, it’s a ticket-split story. I’d argue that Talarico and Hinojosa are doing the right things, and it helps that Paxton and Abbott are especially odious.

As welcome as this news is, I’ve been trying to train myself to look only at the generic ballot polls, not at the approvals. Our climate reads like this: “I heavily disapprove of Trump! I can barely make it by with what he’s done…but Woke is an existential threat, so I’m still voting R…”

David Frum notes that the last executive from the Anglo American tradition who demanded his own revenue independent of the legislature was Charles I, and they chopped off his head for it. Executives with their own funds tend to take over shit.

The normie commentator class is younger, better educated, and more urban than the national average, which means their intuitions are somehow always wrong all the time.

Thinking about the $5k Trump bribe proposal (that will never actually happen). It’s not that Americans don’t want socialism, it’s that the word “socialism” is associated with things being redistributed FROM the voter, but voters are just fine with things being redistributed TO them.
