I think I've seen Ovechkin, Crosby, and McDavid all at Nationwide Arena. I've also seen Messi at Huntington Bank Field, but he was old at the time

I dont have followers so dunno why I’m posting (stop prefacing your posts like this), but increasingly feel like the primaries are going to matter in 26 and 28 in so much more than any other election in my lifetime (I guess GOP in ‘16, but in a bad way)

Recruitment this cycle seems rough; really hope Blue Tea Party is real by the time primaries hit I’m decently confident winning a la 2020 (winning but not with people who will act boldly) would destroy us. Of course losing destroys us too but faster.

It's a bizarre and frankly alienating feeling realizing that if you know the basic fact that the murder rate has gone down significantly since 1990 you're in the ~90th+ percentile of fact-knowers

“What perfect albums came out when you were 16?” Does the prompt demand that I recognized them as such at the time? I’ll answer as if the answer is no, since I couldn’t find anything great released in 12-13 (my time range) that I would have recognized as such at the time.

I certainly wasn’t a huge fan (mostly not that familiar with NYC politics so grain of salt here)—would have ranked him 5th (behind Myrie, Adams, Blake, and Lander) but I’m being negatively polarized into liking Mamdani. Also he hates cars and loves the city he wants to run so that’s nice

there is no jurisprudence at work here. the republican court believes that anything a republican president is presumptively constitutional, even if it directly violates the unambiguous constitutional text and causes total chaos in law and policy.

Ohio State's President is going to be appearing with Trump & Vance at the White House on the same day this is happening. Mind-boggling that OSU's Ted Carter is continuing with that appearance at a time when 11 of his own students have had their visas revoked. A shameful day for OSU.

Lots of good stuff to protect about this wonderful country in the leaden years ahead, but when we come out the other side, systemic reform (against corruption and antimajoritarian structures) should be the lodestone for Democrats until this country has basic democratic standards.

#energysky, a coworker and I are looking a list (ideally exhaustive) of every fund allocated by the IRA. I know it's not capped, but a list of programs would be neat, and maybe also a list of projects under each program? I told my coworker I was near certain someone had already done this. Right?

I'm not a "everybody needs religion" person (anymore), but I do think in our post-christian environment (tbc, the current evangelical church is also post-Christian), we've lost a sense for grace. Or maybe we never had it. But ultimately, we cannot always be focused on what we deserve.

Biden should commute all federal death sentences. He claims to oppose the death penalty now, the risk of a political backlash is now moot, and it would be a historic, legacy-making move.

i think that the people interested in recriminations and score settling right now aren’t seriously grappling with the magnitude of what happened and the implications for the rest of our lives. most of us will probably die living in the political order that will emerge out of this election.
