This is something I've been saying for ages re: how centrists treat the left. If left-wing positions aren't popular enough to win elections, then left-wing voters can't lose an election for you. If left-wing voters can tip an election for you, their positions need to be accommodated.

Trump's in this position because Republicans don't have the guys but the scenario he needs to steal the election the way he wants to requires them to have the guys.

because of Laken Riley I do not want him for the top of the ticket but because he is such a terrifyingly effective attack dog I want him to be the moderate VP to balance AOC's ticket. also two Dems who are hot not just by politician standards but by normal standards will break GOP brains nationwide

I don't even know what else has an 8% approval rating. Swine flu?

Most voters (61%) say they dislike elected officials who support building data centers in their area; just 8% like this. While dislike is especially widespread among Democratic voters (75% dislike), on balance Republican voters also do not like leaders who support data centers (44% dislike, 14% like).

The discourse on antisemitism in the country is such that Mike Rogers can simultaneously attack Abdul El-Sayed *as* antisemitic, as a scary foreign Muslim critic of Israel, and also *with* antisemitism, as a tool of the foreign-born Jewish puppeteer.

"LEAKED: Footage of Abdul El-Sayed fundraising last night in the California home of the far-left Soros family.

Abdul’s education was paid for by the Soros family and NOW they are funding his campaign to make him a U.S. Senator

The Soros family is funding Abdul because he will carry out their agenda of:

➡️ defunding the police
➡️ emptying prisons, and letting violent criminals & sex offenders back onto the streets
➡️ gender transition surgeries for minors
➡️ allowing illegals to vote in American elections

Abdul is too extreme for Michigan."

These should be making their way into national ads run by the Democrats. Republicans think this kind of stuff is popular because the groypers think it shows they're "tough". Ads saying "Republicans want ICE to give electric shocks to children" will hit them where they live.

Look, this is bad. Yes. But the Trump admin sent six (6) people to Maricopa and Pima. Where, by my count, there are 404 polling places, spread across 18,000 square miles (each county is ~9k sq mi). What they want is the FEAR to discourage the voting they can't actually prevent.

Very saddened to say I won’t be able to headline Tim Pool’s student event in Chicago this week. I unfortunately have other plans.

Hi Katherine,
Timcast Media is partnering with the Chicago Thinker to host a student event in Chicago on October 9 at 4:00 PM.
The event will feature a one-on-one conversation with Tim Pool followed by a live student Q&A. To create a dynamic and balanced dialogue, we are specifically seeking a featured guest to represent a left-leaning perspective.
Timcast Media will fully cover and arrange all travel and accommodations.
Thank you in advance for your consideration.
Sincerely,
[REDACTED]

Hi Lisa,
Sorry, I'll be too busy slamming my hand in a car door that day to talk with Tim. Hope you understand.

A customer just tried to use an employee discount code that ChatGPT gave her. I work at a high-end clothing store and clocked in to my manager telling me about the most unhinged interaction from yesterday. A woman walked in asking if she could use a 40% off code she got online. We don't have any sales running, so my manager looks at the screen and realizes ChatGPT straight up handed this woman a real employee's internal ID number.

I try to find joy in my job where I can (Tangem is a company that makes software wallets for crypto and NFTs (lmao, who even still has NFTs in 2026?) and may or may not also be a scam)

Email reading:

"Hi Tessa,

I hope you’re doing well!

My name is Alina, and I lead Tangem Campus, our educational initiative working with universities around the world.

I came across the upcoming ASU Research Computing Expo on October 14 and thought it could be a great opportunity for Tangem to get involved, especially given the event’s focus on emerging technologies, AI, research, and innovation.

Could you please let me know if there is an opportunity for Tangem to participate in the event in any capacity — for example, as a partner, exhibitor, speaker, or through a student-focused activation?

We would be happy to contribute to the event and engage with ASU students and the broader research and technology community.

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!
Best regards,
Alina Raskatova
Sales and Partnership Manager @ Tangem AG"

"Hi Alina,

Thanks for reaching out! Unfortunately, the RC Expo has a one obviously-overhyped-to-the-point-of-potential-fraud technology limit, and we've already reached that with all the AI presentations that I (regrettably) was mandated to incorporate into the schedule—including crypto/NFCs would put us over.

Regards,

Dr. Tessa Fisher

Arizona State University"

Email reading:

"Hi Tessa!

Thanks so much for getting back to me!

I was wondering, would it be possible for a small team of 2–3 people from our side to simply attend the event and record a few short interviews with the participants? If so, what would you need from us to make that possible?

Best regards,
Alina Raskatova
Business Development Manager"

No, I'm afraid not. It's bad enough we have to include AI in this event, I'm not including another obvious scam like crypto.

Whiteness is a social construct; as most now know, it has continually expanded. Less acknowledged: it can also contract. And specifically Whiteness was originally a *legal* construct. I'm not gonna repost racecraft, but you can Google what the OMB did to the legal definition of "White" in 2024.
