Incredibly happy to announce that today I submitted my senior thesis! It has been the culmination of more than a year’s worth of research and writing. A big thank you to all my family and friends for pushing me through.

i’m not joking, i literally think she has developed some form of mental illness. her actions for the past like year haven’t made real rational sense
It is honestly crazy that she doesn't really have that accent. Like basically psychotic. It's like if I walked around all day sounding like Pesci in Goodfellas.

I think there are realistically 3 plausible democratic nominees from my point of view right now
-Ossoff (it is his nomination to lose atp)
-AOC
-Warnock (only if O doesn’t run)
If AOC doesn’t run, I don’t see anybody filling her lane. Dems can’t nominate Pete, Kamala, or Newsom

all I can say is… yikes! big progressive moment, and seems like there’s really only one candidate who can keep up our momentum and capitalize on our gains
Ok about time for an update on this, with subjective categories:
All but certain:
🔵 Andy Beshear
🔵 Cory Booker
🔵 Pete Buttigieg
🔵 Rahm Emanuel
🔵 Ro Khanna
🔵 Gavin Newsom
🔵 JB Pritzker
🔵 Josh Shapiro
Seems pretty likely:
🔵 Mark Kelly
🔵 Wes Moore
Clearly considering:
🔵 Ruben Gallego
🔵 Kamala Harris
🔵 Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
🔵 Elissa Slotkin
🔵 Chris Van Hollen
🔵 Raphael Warnock
Says they’re not considering running but no one really believes them:
🔵 Jon Ossoff
Wouldn’t be surprised, and get well soon:
🔵 Chris Murphy
Haven’t closed the door, but unlikely:
🔵 Gretchen Whitmer
People will speculate that they will run but it’s very difficult to imagine they will turn around and run a national campaign after being Senator or Governor for only like 3-6 months, everyone settle down:
🔵 Abdul El-Sayed
🔵 Rob Sand
🔵 James Talarico
Potential lefty choice if AOC doesn’t run:
🔵 Shawn Fain
🔵 Sara Nelson
🔵 Jimmy Williams
Potential celebrity vanity run:
🔵 Don Lemon
🔵 Jasmine Crockett
Resist Lib fantasy:
🔵 Jon Stewart

A word from Rick Perlstein’s book about the importance that these midterms have for exactly 2 sets of people: (1) progressives, and (2) Jon Ossoff (even if he doesn’t seem to see the results in the same way)

all this talk about shapiro in 2028 sidesteps the obvious fact that he is simply old school. He is a type of democrat that doesn't really feel in step with the party or the country, even if he wins big at home. He's like Mike Pence in 24, Steve Bullock in '20, and Jim Webb in '16

side note: unironically hilarious how much “leftist” advocacy centers around concepts which have become anachronistic. like what do you think Marx meant by “landlords” and “imperialists” and how are they effecting US elections right now

not to get into either side of this argument, but is there a historical or instrumental reason that mathematicians use regular english words in (1) unconventional ways or (2) have contradictory definitions for single terms? it makes communicating about math very frustrating
He is using the word "arbitrarily" in a completely normal way that anyone who has done any mathematics would be familiar with.

the truth is the best way politically to universal coverage in a single payer system is to indroduce medicare to kids, then gradually lower the eligibility age and raise it for kids until private insurance is entirely squeezed out of the picture
As an immediate first step to Medicare for All, the new Democratic Congress must lower the Medicare eligibility age to 55, cover all kids & expand Medicare for dental, vision & hearing.
All of this can be passed with 51 votes in the Senate through reconciliation. Let’s do it.

actually an insanely GOATED delegation. Close to MA in ‘08 (Kennedy, Kerry, and Barney Frank) in terms of modern political history
Independent Bernie Sanders wins Vermont's open Senate seat, defeating Republican Rich Tarrant with 65.4% of the vote.
Sanders is the first self-described socialist to ever be elected to the United States Senate, after having served 16 years as Vermont's sole U.S. Representative.
Succeeding Sanders in his congressional seat is Peter Welch, the President pro tempore of the Vermont state senate.

i actually don’t know why basically any of these guys would want it after seeing daniel craig reemerge and everyone remember that he’s actually good at his job after like 2 decades of shitty bond movies
The 5 finalists that have tested for the role of James Bond:
• Robert Pattinson
• Jack Lowden
• Callum Turner
• Nicholas Hoult
• Josh O'Connor
Who would you choose?

really learning right now how few people understand what the jobs “Senate Majority Leader” and “Speaker of the House of Representatives” entail

what are you talking about LOL
I can only imagine the simultaneous dread and relief of being a dedicated Christian who, upon studying the life of Jesus from a closer historical perspective, slowly comes to realize that the whole thing was an interesting historical episode but totally mundane and explicable

i was gearing up for them to say “some Brönte” or “some Series of Unfortunate Events” but literally nobody should be reading romantasy
It’s not about if boys want to read Hatchet. First of all, school reading lists are dominated by male authors and protagonists. Second of all, it’s the presenting books in a gendered binary that is the problem. Maybe your son could stand to read some romantasy idk!!!!

i love these guys so much if anyone knows someone in Lander’s office I want to work for him bad
Reps-elect Brad Lander (D-N.Y.), Daniel Biss (D-Ill.) and Scott Wiener (D-Calif.), all Jewish and liberal Zionists, write to Israel's U.S. ambassador demanding the "immediate release" of Palestinian journalist Abed Abu Shehadeh:
