Lord give us the Democrats that Republicans warn us about.

Thune: "If the Democrats had won the majority, they probably would've tried to nuke the filibuster. And then you'd have four new senators from Puerto Rico and DC, you'd have a packed Supreme Court, you'd have abortion on demand ... "

New: Bari Weiss booked Hillary Clinton, Mike Pompeo, and Antony Blinken for a roundtable on Gaza, her first major move at CBS.

Notably on a CBS call today in which the panel was floated, one producer also repeatedly emphasized the need to hear from Palestinians in Gaza (Weiss did not respond).

ME: Now Mom, just remember, there's a lot of disinformation and AI in your social feed and your friends' Facebook.
MOM: I know! My friend sent me this crazy post where someone used AI to make an image of a giant frog fighting Army troops!
ME: ... okay, no, that one's ... goddamit, Portland.

I also need to know: I am fairly middle-of-the-road on Taylor Swift but someone I know called her the Greatest Living Lyricist. She is not.

Who is yours? Either the greatest or your favorite?

This isn’t just saying the quiet part loud.

It’s the quiet part painting a swastika on itself and doing goose steps on the table top shouting “quiet parts uber alles”.

"Antifa has been around in various iterations for almost 100 years in some instances, going back to the Weimar Republic in Germany."

Both of those things can be true. His actions are extreme and unprecedented - and wouldn’t be possible without the destructive work of his predecessors.

The last and only console-based game I‘ve ever played was when I tried Mortal Combat on my roommate’s system in 1995.

Inspired by a post I just saw in which someone admitted they hadn’t seen a single episode of Friends nor the film Love Actually… what cultural hole do you have that’s a bit weird for your generation?

I’ll go first: I haven’t seen Dirty Dancing.

Based on the timing, probably listening to the new Taylor Swift album.

Mamdani: "What we have built in this city is also an indication of what politics can be. After the November election, we heard that young people were leaving the Democratic Party, they were getting disinterested in politics. And we built a campaign where we said, what if we treated them w/ respect?"

The Aubrey Plaza line(s) about them in that one episode of Parks and Rec was the best moment of the whole series.

Ok farm facts are back!

China is so much of the global soybean market, you can't make up losing them by selling to other countries. There isn't enough soybean demand in the world to fill that dent.

And farmers... know that.

Good thread

US farmers are saying they "just need temporary help, until things get better."

Here's the thing. US farm exports- which are mostly soy- CANNOT get better.

Other countries expanded their soy industries to fill China's demand.

We've walled ourselves out of the global market, folks. This is it.
