I love how Hobbs has spent years frustrating people for ducking debates, having no charisma etc but her election is truly proving to be one of the most consequential of the last decade. No telling what kind of right wing utopia AZ would be right now if this had went the other way

@9mmballpoint Yes, and a lot of them won’t agree even a centrist Harris would be exponentially better than the current WH. To discern between the two would necessitate an admission that electoral politics is still a valid vehicle for policy change & they screwed everyone by sitting out in 24

Hot take: a big part of the disconnect between liberals and leftists regarding No Kings is that a lot of leftists just don't really care about democracy that much. Election integrity doesn't feel like a "real issue" to them because their ideal leader doesn't have to be elected.

@_rotimia they perceive Rogan’s audience being comprised of men who are theoretically open to voting for dems if they stopped being ‘woke’ whereas piker’s audience is already on the left and not worth the outreach

Honestly, I hate talking about influencer palace intrigue, but I think the Dems who would not go on Hasan but would go on Rogan are making a weird argument because both have said things that any idpol progressive would consider bad, and yet Rogan is good, and Hasan is bad?

@jane_plainly @kitvolta If they take care of their face and the Norwood reaper hasn’t visited yet then it’s not too bad…but then again if that were the case and his social skills weren’t nonexistent , he wouldn’t be paying 50 grand to a matchmaker lmao

@kitvolta men really have a delusion they are at their sexual peak at mid/late 40 and it does not occur to them, the vast majority of late 20s early 30s women interested in you will only be for money/career opportunities you are no where near as hot as 30 yr oldmen.

Have we considered that no sane hot competent 27-33yo woman wants to marry a 46yo
Blaine Anderson@datingbyblaine

Why is matchmaking expensive? To illustrate, here’s how I’ll lose money on a client’s $49,000 package. Client is 46, 6’2, exited tech founder. He’s looking for a woman 27-33, very specific criteria around match personality, appearance, and profession. Without diving into specifics, she: • Isn’t easily searchable online... • Isn’t likely to reply when we find her… • Isn’t likely to be single… • Often has a deal-breaker trait we can’t screen for without a phone call… • Isn’t necessarily interested in my client… I was expecting this to be a difficult search, so I quoted $49,000. I wasn’t expecting ~100 hours of labor to find each match, not including communication with the client! To date I’ve spent $45,000 on salaries for the women staffed on his search, plus $2,750 on styling and photos, and we still owe the client 2 matches... Before considering overhead (let alone opportunity cost) this will be a huge L financially. Things balance out though. Most engagements are profitable. Some engagements are quite profitable. For example, a new client in NYC paid $30,000 and paused after his first match, because he’s 99% sure we found his wife. That's still a new relationship, and engagements last 9 months (6 months of active matching + up to 3 months of pause), so we could be on the hook for more work in coming months. But you get the point 🙏

@politico @GovAndyBeshear @DashaBurns We’re not asking a litmus test, we’re asking candidates to explain their stance, not this triangulation that ultimately means they lack conviction in their position. This was such a lame non-answer and the interviewer shouldve pressed Beshear more here.

You can always tell which people have ever worked a campaign outside of Brooklyn whenever AOC 28 talk comes up. Your average early state primary voter will have gender concerns - ‘Hillary and Kamala lost because they were bad candidates’ is not a statement they will agree with.
David Weigel@daveweigel

Pure anecdote, but when I was at the Fight Oligarchy rallies + talking to attendees, heard a few women rule out AOC bc they can't watch a female nominee lose again.

Here's the thing though. If we made Social Security benefits a flat $15k per senior, what we'd also do is destroy the unspoken but sacred idea that every homeowner has the inalienable right to stay in that specific home until the day they die.
Shovel Headed Chill Machine@Knifey_Spoonee

@jdcmedlock Wow, uncommon Medlock L. Our social security is extremely generous, the issue is that it's also extremely regressive. If we made social security benefits a flat 15K for every retiree we would both *reduce* Senior Poverty and stabilize the Trust.

Soooo clearly Chappell Roan is being smeared by her old talent agency, which she left over the founder’s ties to Jeffrey Epstein, yes? And the sheep who hate that she’s actively disinterested in appealing to the male gaze are piling on?

@fredsoda I was an undergrad at a school named in operation varsity blues and it was kinda radicalizing lol. The upper crust are quite sensitive about the class signifier of college and use the tools at their disposal to ensure their kids avoid going somewhere perceived as ‘lower’

@BillShaikin They play in LA, have a billion dollars deferred, and are going for a third consecutive championship. It’d be business malpractice to be anything other than the most expensive ticket in baseball

How much for a family of four to attend an MLB game (cheapest tickets, parking, 4 hot dogs, 2 beers, 2 sodas)? Survey says: Most expensive? Dodgers, $413 Related: latimes.com/sports/dodgers…

@BillShaikin Sad. I watch most Dodger games on MLB.TV but I stopped attending during the McCourt era when parking hit $15. Now apparently it's $40. FORTY DOLLARS. JUST TO PARK. Insane. PT Barnum was right.

@vamperignon @former_gcup Mythologizing it to such an extent removes agency from yourself…get comfortable with the idea that you have the ability to seek out connection, whether it start irl or over an app. When you find your person, the starting point makes no difference
