@WyattEarpGOP @madrid_mike As a Joanna Newsom fan, I hear Ozy's name on a weekly basis, can't say the same about Whitman.

@madrid_mike Whitman spent all that money and she’s as forgotten as Ozymandias
Sad.

Tom Steyer just placed $7M in ad buys for next week!
Hard to say California is a democracy at this point.
He’s passed Meg Whitman and we’re just starting the final month of the campaign.

@ASDem @Elex_Michaelson @kaitlancollins Have to say that as a former professional Brexit watcher and as a forever Californian at heart it's jarring but also kind of hilarious to see Hilton drag the stench of failure of everything he stood for in UK politics across oceans and continents.
English
2/2 and Tuesday night's CNN debate is one of the last best chances to create momentum @Elex_Michaelson @kaitlancollins. Plus, voters are receiving ballots starting today to remind them to pay attention. We won't see the full effects of that (if any!) in polling for 7-10 days.
English
I think this poll is complete garbage but my cautionary tale for everyone is to take a breath and wait a week or so before drawing any major conclusions in this race. A deluge of new spending started about a week ago (Porter and Mahan pos, Steyer and Becerra neg) 1/2

Americans see this and want coworking spaces and gyms
Alex Recouso@recouso
Okay guys, had a few cultural shocks in Spain: > Go to the gym, opens 10am on a Sunday > Go to work from a coworking, closed > Go to a coffee shop, no wifi Absolutely unthinkable in a barely productive economy like the US, yet alone UAE. Europe is a daylight museum.

@malikules Just pay the taxes, frère.
(And yes, California has a higher standard of living, longer lifespans, healthier citizens, fewer maternal mortality deaths, etc. compared to Republican shitholes, the same way Western European countries do.)

americans will see this and ask where the coworking space at

@Rani_Rant_Fest @ACE0887 @toJamesConnor Tho if California wants to know more, just ask Steve how his former UK party is doing (dying an embarrassing, agonizing death) or his old boss Dave Cameron (political career already dead) or his ol' Russian op Brexit project (wrecked the country MAGA style). Hell of a record.

@ACE0887 @toJamesConnor Hes a fox news foreigner, endorsed by the most evil president in history. Thats all California needed to know.

Often, these people are NOT breaking even on their homes, especially anyone who bought in 2022-2023 and is selling now (there are surprisingly MANY in this boat)
People who bought in 2020-2021 are walking away with some profit after transaction fees but losing a low rate

I am astounded by the number of millennial families who moved to Dallas, bought a home, then turned around and sold the home to move out of Dallas, in less than a 5 year time span
Is Dallas just super transient or is this a post-pandemic phenomenon happening everywhere?
English
@berenbeim @SamuelLaskey "There are only 3 cities in the US: New York, New Orleans and San Francisco. Everything else is Cleveland."
English
@SamuelLaskey The "suburbanalization" of many great American cities from the 60s-90s means no one can conceive of Cleveland or Cincinnati as anything but strip malls with a down town.
English
For a shocking number of people, their mental model of America consists of like 5 places. "I'm sick of LA/NYC/SF and Florida is a land of vile swamp monsters, so I must belong in Texas." But really, most American cities can give you a decent quality of life. (depending on career)

@gracelizabethc @ContraPoints And yet it makes so much sense.
Hitchens found most of the bros cringe, they were like: "We need a rebranding: we shall be henceforth known as The Brights" and he was like: "Fuck off, there's not enough whiskey in the world..." and everything since his death has vindicated him.

Three Iranian men are producing aragh sagi, a traditional spirit banned by the clerical authorities in Tehran, at an artisan distillery just outside New York.
They say they want to offer others like them a taste of home.

Major defeat in Rich Republican suburbs of Dallas! 🚨BREAKING🚨Grapevine–Colleyville ISD, once a strong, major, Republican-leaning district, has now flipped. All three Republican trustees lost their re-election bids. Huge defeat for Texas Republicans.
English
@Renee05208714 True, but it needs to stay behind the scenes and not turn into a distraction. Midterms first is a good mantra. It will be different, that's why I think there's no going back to unseasoned boiled potatoes in suits trailing along the charismatic guy/gal at the top of the ticket.
English
@BeigeGuru @ramprasad_c Yup. You see bubbles on here between randoms like us (berniebros, magats, khivers) and think: this can't happen to the pros, wtf. But when the "pros" are dumb to begin with, they huff their own farts and here we are.

More pain is in store for Republicans in Texas, and they deserve it. They misread X monetization fueled racism as real world trend.

Ukrainians continue to be the only effective Just Stop Oil activists ever.

Our warriors continue to apply sanctions against Russia’s shadow oil fleet – two such vessels were struck in the waters at the entrance to the port of Novorossiysk. These tankers had been actively used to transport oil – not anymore. I am grateful to Chief of the General Staff Andrii Hnatov for leading the operation, to the counterintelligence officers of the Security Service of Ukraine, and to our Navy for consistently delivering effective results. Ukraine’s long-range capabilities will continue to be developed comprehensively – at sea, in the air, and on land. Glory to Ukraine!
