We’re all still drinking at the Nazi bar. I’m here because I’m an addict. What’s your excuse?
English
If you were surprised by Zohran's win you should escape the twitter bubble and come over to bluesky where people are more connected to reality
English
@robinhanson @elonmusk Time to make the move to bluesky where you can do that
English
I'm grateful to, and impressed by @elonmusk, for all he's done. But I'm still a bit disturbed to see posts by the owner of this platform appear so often in my "For You" feed. I wish we could independently source the algorithms that determine our feeds.

@_sn_n @AsadFromNYC Because beyond his politics he's just a scummy person

@JamesRaxz Biden and Obama made the exact same mistake in terms of wanting to be a post-partisan healer rather than a partisan warrior
English
We got Biden the Redeemer. It fit his personality. It also was unsuited for what MAGA is. The one who would bring the family together. We needed Biden the Avenger, the one who deterred against a MAGA revivial.
English
Biden made a bet - an honest but wrong one - that he could diffuse MAGA in the swingies and red states through economic development. Didn't work. People just swapped their real fears for fake fears (DEI).
There are two takeaways from this experience:
Armand Domalewski@ArmandDoma
the Biden economic argument was “brought back manufacturing, raised wages,” just turned out people cared way more about prices being high! why do people think a nurse in Georgia upset her rent doubled could’ve been won over by hearing Biden brought back factory jobs in Ohio
English
@lxeagle17 I think you've got to disaggregate the small and large donors there, obviously billionaire donors pull the party right on economics, if not on the various idiosyncratic social causes they support
English
Do people like Mehdi Hasan know that the billionaire donors are actually pulling the Democratic party to the left? The average Democratic voter is considerably to the right of the average Democratic donor, whether small-donor or large.
Mehdi Hasan@mehdirhasan
It’s a great quote, but the piece as a whole jumps on this new bandwagon of blaming ‘groups’ in the Dem coalition for defeat, and implying they control everything, rather than the billionaire class and special interests which have far more control on the modern Democratic Party.

@jtompkins1191 @GAFollowers Or just left this poor family alone...
English
@GAFollowers A good cop would have told the kid to go back home…followed him in the cruiser and when they arrived at the home talk to the mother about the law and tell her she doesn’t need to let him do that again…easier to do the asshole thing I guess.

Brittany Patterson was arrested in Fannin County, GA and charged with reckless conduct after she let her 10y/o son walk less than a mile to the store.
Bodycam footage has been released.

@MicaSoellnerDC What could blue dogs know about appealing to the working class? Their whole thing is being the corporate anti-worker wing of the Democrats
English
Blue Dog Dems, who performed well this cycle, could have a lot of influence in their party next cycle as Dems seek to find a message in the center that appeals to working class Americans.
Max Cohen@maxpcohen
Trump district Democrat survives again. Golden and MGP will have another term to chart future of Blue Dogs
English
@bryan_caplan Yeah economics is just not as mathematical of a subject as people want it to be. More like political science or psychology than physics
English
“Show a typical economist a theory article, and watch how he ‘reads’ it: He reads the abstract and introduction, flips the theory pages, then reads the conclusion. If math is so enlightening, why do even the mathematically able routinely skip the math?” betonit.ai/p/economath_fa…

@Geekerchan @LinkofSunshine I mean ozempic and even diet soda have their issues as well, they're just way healthier than what they're replacing
English
@Big_Worker @LinkofSunshine That's a pretty low bar lol
English
@Geekerchan @LinkofSunshine People have a tough time accepting that vapes are far far less unhealthy than cigarettes
English
@Big_Worker @LinkofSunshine Vaping very much comes with health effects lol
English
@AutismCapital Do they... not realize Trump really did say that?
English
🚨 JOE ROGAN: “Obama during the Kamala Harris campaign really changed my opinion of him. I used to have a high opinion of him as an intelligent person. I thought he was just caught up in the system. Watching him straight up lie about Trump, with the ‘very fine people,’ thing, the white supremacist thing, which I think worked back in 2017 but people don’t believe it anymore, changed my opinion of him. People have grown numb to this stuff.”

@TheOmniZaddy You're against breaking up the big tech companies??
English
@Big_Worker Except banning non-competes. And maybe the social media thing
English
Notice how not a single item in this list actually makes it easier to build and create things via removing currently existing legal barriers
This is what happens when you have Lawyer Brain — your mind can only ever comprehend banning and controlling things
Zephyr Teachout@ZephyrTeachout
My abundance agenda - Break up big tech which hoards the future - Regulate addictive social media which devours time - Ban exclusive dealing & noncompetes which destroy freedom - Ban price gouging giving oil monopolists a moat against renewables - Ban price crimes in housing

@AlexThomp How can Axelrod have learned nothing after all this time? Emmanuel is a cancer on the party
English
New: Rahm Emanuel is weighing a bid for DNC chair, 3 ppl with knowledge tell Axios.
Axelrod has been an early booster this week.

@lxeagle17 What a disaster that Schiff slipped in there over multiple much better Democratic candidates.
English
Unbelievably funny that California's *Senate* race is about to end up within 20 points in a presidential year again. In presidential cycles, this state hasn't been below D+20 since 2004, when Kerry won it by 9.95%.
Schiff is going to put up an awful underperformance this time.
