Kontroll - Official Trailer (2003) YouTube video by cafefilmhungary

Really recommend the Hungarian thriller comedy Kontrol about the Budapest meto police www.youtube.com/watch?v=LMkk...

Dems need to find a tall hansom former Republican named "Johnny America" to run to save us from Vance.

Liberal Party of Canada maybe the most ruthlessly pragmatic in the world.

They way things are going this is going to be all of us coming June www.youtube.com/shorts/hGPJh... @princetonyimby.bsky.social is Nelson and I am Homer

5 beers in you can barley feel it

I've been thinking about this commercial from Errol Morris, arguably the greatest documentary film maker of all time, recently: www.youtube.com/watch?v=beF_... @princetonyimby.bsky.social is like "exactly"

Final post on the "One Primary To Rule Them All"

The coverage of the race was overwhelmingly about ideology and issue positions BUT if you just look at map a lot of this voting was about geography. Mayor of Evanston did well in Evanston. Gen Zer did well in hip Chicago neighborhoods etc.

2026 IL-09 Democratic Primary As Rep. Jan Schakowsky heads for the exits, nearly a dozen Democrats in northern Chicagoland are vying to take her place.

Northwestern #s for you @williamadler78.bsky.social

N side campus: Kat 22 votes, Biss 3, Bushra Amiwala 1

S side: Kat 104, Biss 42, Amiwala 9

Kat won the Frat Vote! But then again the Wildcats aren't exactly setting the world on fire with their turnout here 🙄

You are like "Recumbent bike? Who am I some old lady who thought David Cameron was absolutely super? No, I'm a cowboy and on a steel horse I ride!" (The recumbent bike is played for laughs and is kind of funny)

I know I'm not really on here much, but never give up (I recently watched the first episode DTF St Louis and it struck me as making fun of people who commute with a bike, unfair, you should protest and be like "we are not murders!")

@williamadler78.bsky.social has said he will have grad students doing Vox Pop interview at Mustard's Last Stand in Evanston to get the feel of the electorate, who are buying hot dogs and voting....I think

So I'm not really on here much and don't want to put @williamadler78.bsky.social on the spot, but I did talk to him earlier today and he said "Who' I'm voting for in the primary? Well after these TV ads it's just [EXPLITIVE DELTED] and with Bibi? [EXPLITIVE DELTED] That's just how I feel"

"Process objections" remain incredibly lame, @princetonyimby.bsky.social opening mocks me about this, and yet, doing the process (in this case the formal NSC process) could have been very helpful

#hottake: I don't think Polis is going to be the Dem nominee in 2028

The Green Lantern Theory Of The House Minority Leader is my favorite thing on here

we finally reached the end of this calendar event i accidentally made 12 years ago

Reminder that while you think the key to winning elections is having politicians who agree with your policy preferences and preferred style of politics *the actual way* to win elections is to talk about The Sea Lion Menace and why it must be stopped, as Picard would say "This far, no further!"

Pretty much:

IYKYK

Consultants find that the best-polling message is one where Democrats promise to stop listening to pollsters and consultants.

It's clear what the voters want:

Silver fox white dudes with good hair

Sorry Blueskiers but you're stuck with Gavin for two terms

Fun counterfactual:

Biden drops out in summer of 2023, Harris wins nomination due advantages/Dems like nominating VPs, Harris loses to Trump by a small but very real amount, Harris's rep is she's terrible....Biden has a totally different reputation with the press and armchair historians.

This whole race has been a test case in the limits of money as a political resource

He's got the Malinmentum!

Hey @princetonyimby.bsky.social, who am I suppose to be rooting for in the special tonight?

Will did the most terrible crime a lib can commit: actually do effective political stuff, so he got voted off Black Block Island.

The "Not Great, Bob!" presidency.

Also it's deeply sad, but I guess predictable that Gen X nihilism ended up making them the most pro-Trump generation [@chrispps.bsky.social is like "It's true, it's true, oh dear God what have we become!?!?!"]

But the good news is Gen Z is now good again.
