When someone pretends "they were there" and "no one hated the prequels at the time"
We have got to dig "we have to live with these people" out of the ground and burn the roots. Sure, we have to live with them, but we don't have to let them fucking *do this*, we in fact have to physically prevent them from doing it again.

This isn't even about revenge or politics, it's about the reality that if there aren't consequences & prison time for quite a few people, all the worst parts of the last decade will keep happening. He fundamentally misunderstands the moment & can't be speaker
I think he's the odds-on favorite, in which case we absolutely need AOC in the race. Ossoff can't be the leftmost real candidate in the primary or he's just going to be yanked right. Even if she loses, she has to run now.

Analysis by Millions of Michiganians of 72 precincts with the highest number of Jewish voters showed El-Sayed receiving 60% of the vote, a shift of just 1.3 percentage points from Elissa Slotkin’s share in 2024.
🚨 Exit poll of early Jewish vote in #MISen:
Abdul El-Sayed 60%
Mike Rogers 36%
Blank 5%
Among Jewish voters who said they backed Elissa Slotkin in 2024, 23% voted for Rogers. forward.com/news/860246/mich…

If Platner hadn’t killed off Janet Mills’s campaign, she’d have been the Dem nominee, Troy Jackson would have been out, and Mills (the Dem establishment pick) would have likely lost to Collins. That’s the real counterfactual, like it or not. Jackson got the W and that’s that.

Every single element of their insipid masturbatory communications strategy was designed around what young men supposedly liked. No single group shifted more to the left.

Huh, so Twitter certainly isn't a real place, but looking at the election returns...bluesky might be?
This is a good reason, if they're smart, Democratic centrists will stop also piling on Piker now that the primary is over. When you participate in the same messaging as Republicans you just strengthen their hands.

like clockwork
People should always be in control of the future.
OpenAI is against the notion that it would be acceptable for people to be relegated to a role of doing things that “AI systems think makes sense to reward in humans”.
People should not cede control of the future to superintelligence, and that requirement should ultimately constrain AI progress.

I've been saying it for years, this place is a silo, like most text-based social platforms. there is no "repeal the 19th" cohort. there is no "100 million deportations" cohort. there is no "everyone hates Indian Americans" cohort. people on this website have been "yes and"ing themselves into fake golden ages and meme wars and none of it is real. None of it.
