More frequent now does not mean nonexistent before (and one congresswoman is far smaller in scope than how many politicians and major political figures played footsie with or actively avowed the FEMA camps-Pizzagate-Qanon-Deep State conspiracy continuum, including Trump)

With respect to the POW conspiracy (and for that matter, the "spat on" myth) they're not taxing on mental faculties because after more than a decade of war those were very easy to believe.

Yeah didn't mean to claim that all conspiracies before the internet were only either limited or mass hysteria. It's probably more accurate to say that conspiracies which take a lot of mental work were harder to sustain over a long period or large population.

Every time someone on the internet says something is more frequent that means they actually believe it has never happened previously. Pre-internet conspiracies often were endemic to small groups and temporarily spread due to mass hysteria. Now we have Eternal Dreyfus Affair for everyone everywhere.

One of my favorite poems since childhood, and a poem I share every #autumnequinox. By the 12thc warrior poet Xin Qiji 辛棄疾, sidelined during peacetime, demoted, drifting through a decade of minor posts in remote lands. Poetry, then, is that which is left unsaid. “My, what a cool and lovely autumn.”

What is the solution to this issue? Because if it's correct that the DNC's money woes stem from disillusion from major donors about the party's direction (with small donor contributions higher than ever) then I'd rather the DNC roughs it out instead of possibly allowing donors to dictate policy

Mind you in 2024 the average polling error was 3.4 nationally and 2.2 in swing states. Statisticians would do backflips if their data was that accurate, especially with the theorized chronic Trump undercount.

Except in 2024 polling aggregators showed Harris *at best* winning nailbiters in a disastrous Dem environment, with margins narrowing as the year progressed. Here the trend has been a widening Dem polling gap with a disastrous GOP environment.

Must also note that in all this time I've seen this take bounce around I've never seen anyone say (1) what this red tape is and (2) is it good policy to get rid of it. Which could mean nothing.

Streamlining government regulation may be best sold as cutting red tape for the good of small business for PR reasons, but if you read Mamdani's proposals it seems like good governance (removing duplicative or unnecessary regs, easing business access to gov't resources) with some fine decreases.

The thing about being an elected socialist of a municipality with constraint of action is that you can either govern in manners orthogonal to socialism or be performative and do nothing. But apparently for the sake of the narrative tankie and liberal ideas of real socialism have collapsed together.

The SAT/ACT can often be a measure of resource access as much as intelligence (whatever intelligence means) but when a student stands head and shoulders over her high school peers that should be considered. Of course that would put a bit of mystique back into admissions but it's necessary

It's at worst a tossup and the margin will inevitably be close since Sununu is the presumptive nominee and I would bet a good amount he's the most popular NH politician by a mile. Hell if Trump wasn't this unpopular and the national mood so dour Sununu would be a shoo-in even in a Dem midterm wave.

A strong GOP showing in a governor's race in New Hampshire for the incumbent is probably the easiest thing to reckon with in a blue wave. Gubernatorial race partisanship can be quite distinct (e.g., Hogan increasing his margin in 2018)

But in the suburbs (where most Americans live) the municipal government is beholden to the people who actually pay attention and vote--the homeowners and landlords who have the most to lose by increasing supply.

Tech @techking465.bsky.social · 14/07/2026

The main driver of housing prices is supply, followed by corollary economic drivers like mortgage rates, insurance costs, and the price of raw materials. A major part of housing prices (especially in cities with a large renter population) is indeed zoning, regulation, etc.

They're to blame but on a political level not an economic one. Housing economics just don't support the typical conspiratorial thinking of "PE/flippers/landlords are keeping vacancy rates high" because that would kill them on property tax + utilities.
