I've seen it elsewhere, but I feel like this ironic, unmotivated frame composition is especially popular in British crime dramas.

I need people to stop taking shifts in Trump's favor seriously.
He's a sociopath with the memory of a goldfish. His universe is the last thing the last person told him.
So we *know* Mamdani didn't challenge or have any kind of substantive conversation with him. Reports are he flattered him.

A Trump supporter started murdering his way through an assassination list of Democratic law makers FIVE MONTHS AGO. He murdered my colleague Melissa Hortman, and her husband Mark — and attempted to assassinate my dear friend John Hoffman and his wife Yvette. I was also on the hit list. WTF

HEADS UP: CDC website now officially asserts that vaccines may cause autism.“Studies supporting a link have been ignored by health authorities.” Also says the “vaccines do not cause autism” header remains b/c of an agreement with Cassidy.

Starting to watch "The Diplomat," and while the pilot episode had funny moments, it didn't prepare me for how much of a workplace comedy the series is.
It's very good at being that show, but I sorta miss the show I thought it was going to be in that first hour.

to be clear, i also do not think it is necessarily true that adopting a laundry list of progressive positions is an instant win either. i think you have to do the work of discovering what it is that voters want in a direct and engaged way. and i think that voters want moral leadership.
it is almost as if accommodating and conceding to far right ideas legitimizes them and signals to voters that the far right is a legitimate choice for governance
The Danish Social Democrats are currently on course for their worst election result since at least the Second World War, despite their brand of far-right accommodationism being touted as a blueprint for other centre-left parties.
