Yes the same way they ran "100% chance of recession" headlines a month before Biden's midterms, they will unleash "THE COMEBACK KID" in the second half of 2026 bsky.app/profile/scho...
That narrative is precisely timed to drop a month before the midterms.

They like Trump and want to help him. They have pre-written "THE COMEBACK KID" narratives ready to break out of he crosses back over 40% approval for a couple polls, not to report a narrative but to try and change it
AP on Trump now, and Biden in June 2022.
For Trump, declining to 36 percent approval is “good news.”
For Biden, holding steady at 41% is “a source of concern.”

Everyone I know is sick, almost all of them sound like Dracula, and I'm coming to the realization we will not have any idea what any of this shit even is until the Felchfather is out of office.

Most is COVID, thanks to people gathering with zero precautions for Thanksgiving. A bit of it is influenza A starting to kick off, for the same reason. The flu vaccine this year missed a nasty strain (H3N2) that is filling hospitals in Europe already. Wear a respirator and stop gathering, FFS.

Reminder: you should absolutely start wearing the best mask you can find in public spaces, even if you stopped before. We have no public health at the top level & repeat infections have ravaged immune systems.
If someone gives you a hassle, say "even if it's just a cold, I DON'T WANT THAT EITHER!"

5) AI, which is good at bullshit, may thrive because we have made a society run on bullshit. But in the end I cannot believe we will all become nothing but consumers. People MAKE. An not in the Randian "makers and takers" sense, in the yearning, stretching toward the infinite sense.

"Assume everyone I interact with online is struggling with their mental health" has only become a more important guiding principle in the past couple years
My personal guidelines for dealing with people on social media:
Assume everyone is a friend you haven't yet gotten to know.
Assume everyone is struggling with their mental health
Don't promise any emotional labor you might not be able to provide
If someone seems like a hater, disengage right away
