Once the midterms pass we’re all gonna be waiting around for the inevitable Trump 3rd term attempt.

I think Mamdani is absorbing a ton of attention and critique that’s kind of standing in for the reality that there is no socialist bloc with the power to actually affect US foreign policy, and no socialist labor movement either.

It’s crazy how the Republican Party is funded by like 4 people now. Elon alone has enough money to fund one of the two major political parties indefinitely. Seems bad for democracy.

Basically half (or more) of referendum questions on almost any ballot will boil down to manipulating voters into giving big business more money and power. I kind of hate them, even when the results are good at times, it’s just a bad system.

The last couple seasons were absolutely terrible, capped off with an ending that made the entire show pointless. Probably no franchise that popular has been destroyed that quickly before.

kinda serious, but think the Methodist Church could become more of itself if it really devoted itself to 1) significant regulation of sports gambling 2) massive support of gambling recovery groups

there's more than a hint of 'noble savage' in the way people outside the trades talk about those jobs and especially those workers. there's a reason people leave those jobs for less physically demanding ones if the option becomes available! enough salt-of-the-earth rhapsodizing!

All the “AI is conscious/could be conscious” stuff is really odd to me since we haven’t even got a good answer to “what is consciousness?” yet. We aren’t even sure how to talk about it in a coherent way.

Wow kinda crazy that the Pope rejects an idea that isn’t found anywhere in the Bible or Christian tradition. Hope he’ll reconsider

A couple real changes that might be going on here: One real decline is churches. That’s the only truly free third space I can think of from my youth & it attracted lots of kids, including some devout atheists. I don’t know what the state of church youth outreach is today

Basically zero republicans trying to distance themselves from Trump when he’s at like 33% approval ahead of a likely midterm wipeout is pretty fascinating and points to them being in terrible shape when he’s gone.

I have never watched his show and have zero interest in watching it and wouldn’t encourage anyone to watch it. That being said, the worst thing he’s said wouldn’t even rank among the top 5,000 worst things said by current elected republicans.

Trump has made 28,700 stock/securities trades since returning to office - more than all of congress combined. Note that he is pushing for a stock-trading ban for lawmakers that wouod exclude him www.bloomberg.com/graphics/202...

Trump Made 29,000 Securities Trades, More Than All of Congress
Donald Trump made nearly 29,000 securities trades in 17 months — more than every member of Congress combined. The stock-purchasing ban he’s pushing would leave him exempt

I know this is a common belief, but it’s not true. If people went anti-vaxx/MAHA because they were excluded from the medical establishment, we would see sky-high rates among poor people, minorities and the uninsured. We don’t.

The issue with MAHA is that it’s really not about going after corporate power in food and medicine. They don’t care. It’s more about destroying public health as such.
