one way the media really fucked us over when it came to trump was portraying him as a big-time, powerful exec who had a ton of world class executive experience, when in reality he was an LLC king who got most of what he had by ripping off people he hired to do the work and cheating on his taxes
he went from having never held any office at any level straight to the presidency. he’s never even run a very large company — all of the trump org scams have been tightly held with a pretty small number of actual employees, they’ve always farmed everything to contractors who they then ripped off

its cool that weve reached the point in oral arguments where liberal justices are asking their colleagues whether they will apply the law fairly and theyre just like “oh, no. we plan to contradict ourselves next week. this is all a charade.“

The ruling class has had 20 years to come up with something better than “buy less avocado toast” to explain why you can’t afford a house. And they’ve opted to just play the old hits.

Twitter pays people based on engagement (views, retweets, comments, etc). It appears that many MAGA accounts are based abroad and they use AI technology to generate low-effort rage bait.
My guess is that this will get worse as AI tech improves. For instance, fake videos of minorities doing crime.

It's kinda interesting that in many ways the less ideological moderate democrats (eg Newsom, Hochul) have been rising to the moment more than the more ideological ones, because the ideology of the moderate wing of the democratic party is heavily wrapped up in being a huge loser
The Hochul campaign is out with a statement regarding President Trump's disagreement with Rep. Elise Stefanik calling Zohran Mamdani a "jihadist." Comms Director Sarafina Chitika says Trump "nuked her opening argument" in Stefanik's bid for governor

Trump supporters are also making shitty AI videos of Trump arresting Mamdani in the Oval Office.
They don't know how to process what just happened in real life, so they're making the version they prefer with AI.

There's this weird thing people do where they're like "housing prices haven't gone up that much in Asbestos County Ohio, so there's no housing crisis" and like I cannot explain to you enough how much I do not care about housing prices in Asbestos County Ohio
What the “objective evidence” shows is that the share of income dedicated to housing is higher than before, but not by nearly as much as popular narratives make it seem, with increases heavily driven by a subset of renters. A long-term upward trend. Calling me a “glib idiot” doesn’t change the data.
sure you might have objective evidence in the form of rent or mortgage payments suggesting that housing is much more expensive now than it used to be but consider the following: what if a glib idiot told you it wasn't
