It really is amazing that when a popular young Democratic politician who wants to solve real problems for people beats an old-guard institutionalist Democrat in a primary, the institutionalist Democrat just stays in the race and basically runs as a Republican.

Waseem sent me Nabil’s pictures. The family needs to cover the basics, food and medical treatment. Any little bit helps. Here’s the campaign link:

It's so fucking funny that this guy dressed like an off-duty clown and pretended to use a paper map for two days to prove a point, but there's a difference between "Waze uses machine learning to predict routes and traffic patterns" and "we fed every book in the library into an event horizon"
the nyt posts this stuff like avoiding AI for 48 hours is hard and meanwhile i have literally never once intentionally used an AI program for anything ever

Just the President of the United States praising a dictatorial authoritarian political system
Trump: "You have a great partner now in the US, getting you started. You'll have everything done quickly. Record time. Much faster than any other country other than maybe China. In China you have a good system also. You have one where President Xi can approve it immediately. So that's even faster."

Take a lesson from the Black Panthers who understood how to feed people
If I were running the DNC, there would be Democratic Party sponsored food relief banks across the country right now that specifically welcomed anyone regardless of party affiliation.
Along with the food, there could be voter registration and links to runforsomething.net

Many movies have been made about how great stealing jewels is. Entire Catwomen were born for it
Is there any wiggle room on the whole Louvre thing?
Welcome to YOU SHOULDN’T.
Here are things you shouldn’t do:
- Steal jewels from the Louvre
- Unilaterally destroy the east wing of the White House or any other public housing structure
- Get a huge Nazi tattoo
- Ever want to get a huge Nazi tattoo.
You just SHOULDN’T.
