It's a big tent party now.

Do we consider 1 am tonight or tomorrow technically?

I don't consider myself a pessimist (the verbal tic of every pessimist) but I'm really unsure of what people think is going to change between now and 2026 or 2028 that would lead to improving economic conditions for most Americans?

Really depends on whether or not you think things will get worse/how much worse than they are now. Haven't even really hit the major impacts from tariffs, budget cuts, unemployment yet.

All people crave a Kei truck.

Maybe I'm not looking in the right places but everyone heard about that one family spending a ton on milk and I've not seen anything like that kind of media coverage on federal workers/contractors who have been fired. Personal stories/experiences abound, but no media hits like that one.

One thing that the Extended Universe did well was just make up however many Moffs were needed. The movie never says, maybe there were 10,000? Always a fresh Moff in some galaxy.

Right. Kim Kardashian didn't become a moon landing conspiracist because of the Chinese government.

Even weirder given the current ages of everyone still hanging around in power now.

This reads a little like all of those Axios stories about Harvard getting ready to sign the compact with Trump.

This is too similar to a disc horse bot post.

It's the low-brow version of being mad about Robert Bork.

You would think rent control and free municipal services were something invented in 2025 the way they talk about his proposals.

Current Governor. I think they could win at least one for a variety of reasons that are connected to the local politics/dynamics of the place.

Eric Adams committing real crimes and fraud and protected because a worse criminal dropped the charges to demand fealty only for that all to be forgotten because he's an eccentric is something.

The pie row is poorly seeded. I like pumpkin pie but it's not the $5 option.

The extent to which private industry has avoided litigation has bothered/surprised me a lot.

Random thought: A reason for the continued liberal freakout over cancel culture, college campus stuff is that the people freaking out were, by and large, the winners/survivors of the last culture war and so couldn't imagine being considered anything other than the vanguard of liberal thought.

On the flipside, Biden didn't know what social media was and Mamdani does so the latter has more avenues for counteracting whatever the Times says.
