I am working on a pretty big project. I can’t reveal too much about it, but I am putting out a public call for the worst pandemic takes from right-wing media and think tanks.

Bonus points if the author works in the Trump administration.

*In 2024 Harris ran a moderate campaign:
She boasted about gun ownership, pandered to cryptocurrency, promised to secure the border and deploy more police, campaigned with Liz Cheney.
Not as conservative as Clinton, but it was a triangulate-y campaign. It did not work*

Both of the accounts I saw with a different fundraising account have been deleted but I think this is the only fundraising account for Nour Faraj- who is a little girl in Gaza who lost both her legs (this account has been shared by journalists and confirmed by a friend of hers).

Last night John Fetterman was the one Democrat who voted with Republicans to let Trump keep bombing boats in the middle of the ocean. Less than 24 hours later, he says Trump should get a Nobel Peace Prize

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 19h

FOX: Do you think Trump deserves the Nobel Peace Prize?

FETTERMAN: If this sticks. I think the whole point of having a Nobel Peace Prize is for ending wars and promoting peace. And if he brings the Ukrainian war to its end, I will be the Democrat leading the committee for his Nobel Prize Peace.

VOTE BLUE NO MATTER WHO!

Did I do it right? Isn’t that the eternal liberal position? Maybe it’s just a position when someone is threatening the Democratic Party from even an inch to their left?

Language hack - When talking about "autism", replace autism with "tall" and see if it makes sense:

"The tall community has opinions about new tall research that came out recently, about the increased risk of tall."

Now write it correctly, using tall, and then replace "tall" with "autistic".

A world in which human wages crash from AI -- logically, necessarily -- is a world in which productivity growth goes through the roof, and prices for goods and services crash to near zero. Consumer cornucopia. Everything you need and want for pennies.

If - and it’s a big if - the ceasefire holds, Gaza will need unimaginable amounts of aid and it will need justice.

Unless Israel faces consequences for what it has done the “international order” is meaningless.
