One explanation for economic populism in the US is the recurring cycle of bubbles and bailouts that happens without any democratic input

I missed Mamdani making all but explicit that he is not going to reconcile with current Dem leadership. the party's brand is not only not useful to him now; it's a drag.
Trump: Do you consider yourself a leader of the Democrats?

TRUMP [after spending 5 minutes with Zohran]: surplus value, it’s a very wonderful thing, very wonderful, and they’re stealing it. Can you believe that?

Trump on Mamdani: "I think he's gonna surprise some conservative people, actually. And some very liberal people he won't surprise because they already like him."

someone alert the Harper's Letter signatories
This week, I withdrew from a speaking engagement at a public university because they sent me a list of prohibited “words & concepts.” I will not humor this censorship. It does a disservice to the stories I’m discussing & the audience, who deserve unfettered access to information & conversation.

a big runoff last night, in New Orleans:
Calvin Duncan was exonerated after spending *28 years* in prison; he tried to get his own case records from the New Orleans city clerk—but the office dragged its feet.
So Duncan ran to become city clerk himself, and yesterday ousted the incumbent.

Why do we bash 'deathtrap' fortresses full of swinging blades, man-serpents, and giant rolling balls; but we never question if the chosen hero simply had bad vibes? Or is just unpleasant to be around?

i think it would be fucking awesome to have a james bond film explicitly set in continuity with every other James bond film tbqh
James Bond’s death in No Time to Die is causing a nightmare for the next film. Writers are stuck because Bond “was blown to pieces.”

“You can't have him wake up in shower and saying it was all a dream."

“Video games are almost always digressive, whether their designers want them to be or not, because players can’t be trusted. Given the slightest freedom, they’ll wander off, focus on side quests and minor details, avoid the main story entirely.”
The World’s Memory of the World | Gabriel Winslow-Yost
The world of Disco Elysium evokes both postrevolutionary melancholy and communist fervor for a more just world.

basically every 2024 truism is dead. Trump did not build a lasting multiracial coalition or turn young men into committed Republicans. You don’t need to cave on trans rights to win. The pundits have nothing left to tell you.

the Republican party and their sponsors may have made a grave error when they mistook people being mad about the cost of living as a mandate for authoritarianism and naked corruption
BREAKING: Democrats just broke the GOP supermajority in the Mississippi Senate!
In a stunning victory, Democrats gained seats in court-ordered special elections and will now head to Jackson to represent and fight on behalf of their constituents.
