Whoa. If Spanberger won by almost 16 pts and still didn’t get even half of the white vote*, that means literally every non-white person in Virginia ran to the polls to vote for her.
*Pretty sure Spanberger’s white vote came from all the pissed off white people in Northern Virginia.

I mean my bloc of white voters evidently still haven’t learned enough yet given the big wins in NJ & VA happened without Sherrill or Spanberger winning 50% of them. But we did flip a mayoral seat in Miami that’s been red for a few decades, swept some big GA races, broke some supermajorities, & more.

I knew about this 15 years ago when Sally brought Lance over to the Tony Kornheiser Show to tell Tony about the need for bicyclists and they’re people too. While I agree with that, he did it in a demeaning way. That episode for Tony’s show to be live-to-tape and eventually moved to a podcast.
always amazed to see the ways people will debase themselves for free
The Bari Weiss hysteria continues. Exactly what in "this piece isn't ready" and "try harder to get comment from the administration" constitutes the death of American journalism? www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

How vulnerable is the Ellison’s ownership of CBS Paramount & TikTok to an AI bubble burst? If there’s an AI collapse could it make them need cash & force them to sell? Or do they just have so much money it doesn’t matter?

If I see one more person spread the "all GDP growth is AI" nonsense....
Avg QoQ ann. % change for GDP in 2025 after three quarters is 2.5%. Avg for consumption is 2.2%.
The idea that AI investment is the source of all growth is just completely wrong.

My totally speculative theory on CBS is that when the WH saw the story, someone called an Ellison, who called Bari Weiss in a panic over the Warner Bros. bid, ordered her to kill it
Only a non-journalist (Ellison) would be too dumb not to understand killing the story just made things 100X worse

Trump suspending offshore wind under the guise of "national security" is a political gift to fossil fuel donors that actually makes us less safe. It spikes energy bills, increases blackout risks, and weakens our energy independence. Clean energy IS security.
