This woman runs the local Popeyes, and my god is it a well-oiled machine. Immaculate too (at least by Popeye standards).

One take I read is that he was told to say the image was “doctored”, and he got confused.

Yes. And the number of poli sci consensuses that are about to take a nose dive over the next few years is going to explode.

It’s the convincing people to pay you for those four prompts, isn’t it?

Popularist: The glass is both half full, and half empty… until a public opinion poll tells me otherwise.

Even more than the idea of an oligarchy-assisted state surveillance system at our front doors disturbs me, how tone deaf Bezos is to think that pushing this sort of thing in this political moment is a good idea is mind melting. Also, using lost dogs to pimp it is just bargain basement manipulation.

Turns out the tagline was aspirational.

Cults of personality do not transfer after a cult leader dies.

Got into an argument with one of my best friends at the Niners bar in Feb 2020 watching the Super Bowl. I told her Jan 6 was coming and D’s needed to wake up. (Not the exact date obv, but right time frame.) She’s a longtime Hill staffer & told me I had to get out of my “political science bubble.”

And, a very small number of companies, at that.

Most paper ballots in this country are run through optical scanners for the counting process, fyi. And, those tabulators and the software are mostly a black box, owned by very large private companies.

I am on the cusp and don’t fully relate to either X or Millenials, but I very much relate to this. There was a group of boys who relentlessly bullied me for the first two years of high school. The experience stuck with me for years and years after.

I can relate to this on so many levels.

I've long studied threats to democ. & predicted this 10 yrs ago. It's tragic this has come to fruition, but also some weird relief in people finally seeing the threat we're facing (except D leaders ofc). Nice to no longer be yelling into the void, but more that clear-eyed solidarity is our best hope

After the 2024 election, I stopped donating to nearly all campaigns and put that many toward subscription to independent and alternate news sources (like The Handbasket!). Still feeling pretty great about that decision.

There’s also the fact that a handful of private companies—closed-sourced, proprietary, and some owned by known Trump allies—count and transmit the vast majority of votes with limited oversight that basically amounts to “Trust me Bro.” Welp, there’s a reason most other democracies still hand count.

All the posts cont. to point out the hypocrisy are a waste of characters. The hypocrisy IS the point. They are not beholden to the same standards that apply to everyone else. That’s the point. That’s their flex. They don’t give a fuck about the hypocrisy. So let’s stop wasting our breath on it.

…Minneapolis to excel in so many dimensions of well-being, are the reasons they are willing to stand up for each other right now.

I keep thinking about the fact that Minneapolis consistently ranks highly in quality of life metrics, like how healthy and happy a city is. Not just because it shows how ridiculous the admin‘s rhetoric is, but more for what it says about the power of social cohesion. The same factors that enable…

Still think about this scene sometimes when I am in the shower…

Did you mean lived? You burnt it down, right?

Worked at a summer camp in college and asked Warren Beatty his last name when checking in campers on the first day… didn’t realize it was him until the next day when I ran into Annette Benning in the locker room.

Lived in LA for 10yrs... Sat next to Ed O’Neill’s table at a pub, sat across from Keanu at the next table while he seemed to be on a date, stood in line behind Jamie Lee Curtis at a Coffee Bean, same place Gwen Stefani glared at me another time, x’ed the street next to Kid from Kid n Play, and more…

Turns out the Cold War was never really over for Putin, after all. This has been decades in the making.
