My congratulations to all Baseball Perverts. It was their "super bowl" last night and it seems they all had a very bad time (in their culture that's how you have a good time)

A winning party will have room for candidates that excite (like Mamdani) and defy gravity (like Golden).

We’re doing this backwards and in heels thanks to redistricting, algorithmic bias, and our reluctance to cheat (a good thing). All hands in, or we lose. Period.

Resharing since we’re all beating up on Ezra Klein today. His latest piece misses plenty, but he’s asking the right question.

What is the winning coalition that gets us reliably to 51 percent? If you can’t — with NUMBERS not vibes — get there with your cool platform, then you need to make room.

Skimming post-election autopsies, all variations on “first, we need to organize. Second, it’s time to dig in.”

What’s the win number. What is the voter coalition to get there. What do they want, and who is the right standard-bearer.

Everything else is cope, or a plea for the profitable status quo

Increasingly convinced this isn’t the darkest timeline, but it might be the dumbest.

For the uninitiated, Webster ain’t Chelsea or Manhattan. It ain’t even Albany or Syracuse.

Historically republican, maybe trending independent.

Rewatch continues. S2 “Omega Red” arc hits harder now…

DNC probably should have paid to rerun that on Twitch instead of reading talking points while playing Mario Kart

“Enjoying” (it’s terrible) my X-men rewatch, but how did this cartoon launch a generation of Wolverine Stans?

Nevermind he’s insufferable… bro doesn’t land a punch this whole season.

I know adamantium claw attacks wouldn’t make it past the censors, but dude goes down more than a bond henchman.

Convinced autocomplete is a diabolical plot to harm the ADHD community.

I did not need help completing that sentence, but I’m ABSOLUTELY on a brain tangent about what the words you suggested might have meant.

Things I’d do if I were a billionaire that aren’t evil:

Hire every one hit wonder from the last 30 years and host a festival where they each only play their hit.

There was a fantastic (now closed) lesbian bar in my town that played it live on a projector. Excellent hang

Gosh if only there was an alleged first amendment champion with experience being fired from ABSee who could extend his take to a conservative audience. Not sure who that might be tho.

Every once in an awhile (usually after a recession or a poorly-planned war), our better angels come out roaring.

The President taking away their teevee juuuuust might do it.

Most Americans want to watch their team win and drink cheap beer while they do it. Metaphorically speaking, the party that can makes that experience easier, cheaper and more fun gets to run things for a minute.

Country was founded by deeply religious people who fled England bc the Church of England was too liberal.

We fought our first real war to lower taxes, and our second real one over slavery.

Dems are going to take the house (probably / barely). Instinct will be that America rejected everything they voted for two years earlier and are ready for a wild new direction.

That’ll be wrong.
