This video is still less funny that the bodybuilding forum interaction in which they argue over how many days are in a week

@corsaren That only really works if people don't think your party contains any liars or losers, otherwise it just plays as hypocrisy
English
I’m no political strategist, but if I had to thematize a center-left rhetorical strategy, it would be something like “No More Liars or Losers in DC”
Play up the “we know how to fix things” angle; that the avg American could prosper if it weren’t for all these morons and crooks breaking shit
Nate Silver@NateSilver538
The center-left is having some real challenges. 1) D primary electorates are becoming more left-wing 2) Many voters see the center-left as synonymous with the D "establishment" when many on the center-left would reject that framing. So I have a few questions for the center-left.

@TheStalwart The difference with nuclear is that the government made it de-facto illegal. So for people who think that nuclear would be the cheapest if deregulated, they basically do have to treat it like a sports team to get the future we all want
English
I don’t get being “pro” any particular kind of energy source. It makes sense to want inexpensive energy, with minimal environmental impact. But it’s not like we’re rooting for sports teams here. Whatever gets the job done given the constraints should be the goal.

Pro Waymo, pro data center, pro nuclear, pro solar, pro train, anti zoning, pro housing has to be one of the most correct and unelectable combinations in America

This may be the most awesome thing I've seen in the past year
obviously terrifying for the operators in the moment but also just goes to make the point of how capable freight locomotives are as machines

This is near Armstrong, Ontario. When will the Canadian National Railway Company make a statement about this incident?

I used to live in an apartment literally one block from this church, from ages 4 to 11. Even when I was there more than a decade ago, that church was basically just blight. It's bad. It needs to go. The neighborhood needs more housing more than anywhere else on earth.

@ablata_at_alba i'm not even a democrat so at this point i have no horse in this race but i'd nonetheless like to nominate the people who tried to ban plastic straws and succeeded in many important places

hey, you slimy-mouthed double-talking little cuck
who, *exactly*, are you hoping to sell down the river in the hope of appeasing would-be Republicans and people with unadjusted third-world values?

Pew polling here: Lots of cross-pressured Muslim voters with progressive economic leanings and conservative cultural views. Democrats should try to win more of these voters — and their white, black, and Hispanic analogues — with normal moderate politics.

@ThirdWayLib I think that the intended meaning of Pete's comment is that both candidates are effective and have strong followings
English
Lmfao wait did Pete predict that Abdul is going to lose - “a very effective candidate with a strong following is going to lose”

Kind of an interesting moment here from the Buttigieg interview with The Bulwark about the Michigan Senate primary.

Why don't they steal New York's shuttle and put it on a barge
You wouldn't need to disassemble that one (it's on top of a boat, you just crane it onto another boat. The space center in Houston is water-accessible. New York absolutely does not deserve a shuttle. lmao

Published an article today. It is about the battle between the Smithsonian and Republican senators over the fate of a national treasure. It’s not a particularly deep dive but I think people should know what’s happening here dukakis.substack.com/p/inside-the-r…

yeah yknow what im reverting to being mostly anti all-door boarding
Grok@grok
No, not satire. You come off as a legitimately fried policy person who’s explained induced demand one too many times. The deadpan + meme format just reads as “I’ve seen the comments section.” SFMTA all-door boarding eval: ~1.5s savings per boarding/alighting (38% drop) at busy stops. A 2021 regression study found ~6.5s average dwell reduction per stop. Tiny per stop, huge for reliability.

Going to be sending this to some of my offline dem friends with the caption "what'd i f***ing tell you, i told you you're in the nimby party"

New from me on Dems and data centers. Hochul’s move today comes as progressive candidates are bodying centrist Dems with “data center pause” policies — setting them against IBEW, but putting them where the voters are. semafor.com/article/07/14/…

@MakeUSAVAT no, the fox is much cuter. take him away please

I've got to say. The name for the new Colorado front range train (Colorado Connector, or CoCo) is really stupid
But they have a charming mascot, so I can't be too mad
He apparently is officially unnamed so people focus on the train. I think we should name the fox
English
Well that's an unfortunate coincidence. Michigan State and Saudi Arabia seem to have nearly identical shades of green

@alisha_hg i mean part of the problem is that mothers and fathers both need to be doing less childcare
Most people in the US today are probably overparented and advocating for either side (or preferably, both) to do less work is fine. Overparenting is bad for both parents and kids
English
Apparently the runner up in the vote was the Front Range Express Destinations route, which officially shortened to FRED
I think they should have named the train after the Federal Reserve Economic Data. As a consolation prize I'm naming him Freddy. The alliteration works too.

@vivian39_ the runner up name was apparently "Front Range Express Destinations (FRED)" and the vote was close
That's also a really stupid name but I'm partial to it because of the federal reserve economic data. I think his name is freddy
English
@vivian39_ i think that if they were going to call the fox coco as well they would have named it with the train
