@BenjySarlin also, how many of the 31% are thinking specifically of bribes and insider trading they personally collect?

@SteveHiltonx What are you going to do when he wants to interfere in our elections? It's only about "can't stand" in the sense that he requires bending the knee.

@conorsen I feel like the demand for outsider is so strong, I don’t see it being Newsom

If Harris wins South Carolina it’s pretty hard to see how Newsom wins a single primary — and he’s the leader on Kalshi!

Death with Dignity@DeathwDignity·
“Before cancer entered my life, I never imagined that at 84 years old I would be fighting for something as basic as the right to decide how my own story ends.” Bill spent decades building a life in Massachusetts—as an attorney, husband, father, grandfather, and community member. But after being diagnosed with Stage IV lung cancer, he began facing questions he never expected: how much control would he have over his own end-of-life experience? While treatment has given him more time, Bill knows that his cancer is terminal. He believes that people facing the end of life should have the freedom to make personal decisions that reflect their own values, without having to leave their homes or cross state lines to access compassionate options. Today, Bill is sharing his story and why he is advocating for Massachusetts’ End of Life Options Act (H2505/S1486)—so that no terminally ill person has to face unnecessary suffering without the choice they believe is right for them. Read his story: tinyurl.com/4xr2yydx

@HistoryBoomer @literaryeric I think that "I truly believe that people on both sides are often complete morons" is an excellent core principle

It's not a shtick! I truly believe that people on both sides are often complete morons. In this particular case, I think obsessing about skin color is dumb, and loons on both sides do it, so it's a good comparison to make. But if you find me tiresome, there's a simple solution!

@HistoryBoomer Your both sides shtick is getting tiresome

I don’t think we appreciate enough how we have giant jet airliners weighing hundreds of tons flying through the air all the time and they pretty much never fall out of the sky

@JillFilipovic I never found contacts difficult but my partner has always needed glasses and also can't touch his eyeballs. He can't even *think* about touching his eyeballs.

Ok not to turn this into a Feelings Thread but I’ve legit been feeling so embarrassed that I couldn’t even put in / take out contacts, a thing literal children do, but it seems like this is something that afflicts many of us? Thank you. (And yes I’m sure you get used to it but my eye doctor made me practice to show I could at least get them out of my eyes and… after many many attempts I could not).

I tried contact lenses at the optometrist for the first time today and… how are you people all doing this?? Just sticking your fingers into your EYEBALLS and you’re fine?

@rooseveltinst @TIME Wall Street has that very reasonable expectation because there is a housing shortage in places that many people want to live

Roosevelt Institute@rooseveltinst·
Why does the rent keep going up? It's not just the housing shortage. In @TIME, our Fellow Anisha Steephen argues that today's housing market is increasingly organized around Wall Street's expectation that rents will keep rising, making higher rents part of the business model.

Look it's very nice and cool that one guy in the government did a paper with some cool footnotes. @IFP is good. @WorksInProgMag is good. But I really do want to know why I'm supposed to be excited about that memo when this is our actually existing national science policy.

@agarwal I voted no on the Oakland parcel tax largely bc I do not trust SEIU Also Oakland needs to be a better steward of resources, but if the City Council had written the legislation I might have considered it

The group demanding a billionaire tax is burning union money on luxury hotels, beachfront retreats, and a $235,000 breathing coach. But don’t worry. Once they get their hands on even more money, I’m sure they’ll become extremely responsible. nypost.com/2026/07/22/us-…

@LJS527 Jetskiers tend to get way too close to waterskiers, wanting to catch the boat's wake, not being attentive to the fact that a waterskier can fall at any moment. It's a safety issue. Wake boarders on the other hand I just hate on principle bc I am old and curmudgeonly
