Elon Musk is talking about Nigel Farage's Reform Party: he says Reform are trying to eradicate white people in Britain.
He is a radicalised + increasingly racist lunatic - obsessed with theories of white racial extinction + promoting the idea of civil war in Britain

rough translation of betting odds into projected PL title likelihood
60% Arsenal
37% City
3% Field
that's a very real title race and a different situation from where we were a couple weeks ago, and also Arsenal are still solid favorites to win

I know as a trans woman I should take this opportunity to shit on Rowling. But honestly, “Dumbledore was in a gay relationship with Adolf Hitler” is too funny a prequel premise for me to mock.

national media and owners and rob manfred can posture all they want and try and sell young players on how the system is shorting them (and it is) but you know who doesn't want to pay young players more? owners! specifically small-market owners who rely on young players for cost-savings! come on!

Certainly not feeling *worse* about this take now that this site’s reaction to AOC making her first obvious campaign fuck-up has been a multi day campaign of furious denial blaming everyone else. It wasn’t even that big a fuck-up!
No idea if she will run but I hope she doesn’t mainly because this website will become unusable, especially in the overwhelming (~90-95%?) likelihood she loses
You know a politician is thinking about running for president when they start making moves on foreign policy: AOC will be headed to the Munich Security Conference and will speak in Berlin with a member of Germany's Social Democratic Party.

and i think the example of washington — whose peer, in this regard, is frederick douglass — is a reminder that artifice and performance are important parts of democratic society, and that the contempt for virtue signaling is corrosive. virtue is meant to be signaled!

A notable theme of so much politics discourse on here, especially US, is the presumption that politics is about finding the right candidate to form a parasocial attachment to and stan at all costs, and this seems bad and unhealthy!

Yeah, I mean, an assumed candidate for president absolutely bombing a super easy and obvious question in what’s already perceived as their area of weakness during the tour they’re doing to address it is going to make it incredibly easy to agree on the narrative though.
I see they settled on a framing in the donor group chat

Women need to have more children for Matt Goodwin but if they have more than two you can't get any state help and the women can't be Jewish also we will tax the childless women.

This is I think the single biggest thing that everyone living, *even the religious* miss, is that 'the gods smiled on me', was in ancient Rome, an explanation that fit the available data *as neatly* as 'my phone is probably in the other room'.

Julian the Apostate had his entire family murdered by his cousin, the Christian emperor Constantius, secretly converted to paganism, rose up in rebellion, and was marching towards 100% certain defeat when the 44 year old Constantius suddenly keeled over, leaving Julian as unchallenged Roman Emperor
Chinggis Khan dies from complications from falling off a horse! This is the problem with going 'arf arf, what is Aragorn's tax policy'....real life is often either a) dramatically unsatisfying or b) so dramatically neat as to feel contrived.
that's what makes medieval history so wild that so many stories of powerful rulers end with "and then on campaign he got the chills and died"
or in the case of vlad vi of wallachia "after a couple of large ones got on his horse and rode into the dâmbovița river"

"Where the party is" is very much contested, and *some* of how that's resolved has to do with which candidates run well and which not so much. But a lot of it precedes the primaries, as candidates move to where party actors are.

Yes, it can matter which person actually becomes president if the party wins. But much less than you think. With the (large, but not total) exception of Trump, what tends to happen is that the winning candidate winds up wherever the party is, rather than the other way around.

Sorry but GEM skeeting this without noting that it’s from Crockett’s own super PAC is just evidence #762 that he’s an extremely bad faith actor when it comes to interpreting polls
