When I read David Brooks, I see a guy with center-left positions who convinced himself that he was a Republican. I can't figure out if all his friends are extremely left or extremely annoying left or if he's just a contrarian who needs to identify as something different.

This is not to say it's perfect. It has the same history of redlining and informal segregation that the rest of America has. But the overall vibe is very NPR Liberal.

I live in Champaign. It's a wonderful, diverse Blue AF college town that. The campus itself is also a normal left-of-center university. We just have 30,000 undergrads which includes the fuckwit Republicans which everyone else hates.

I know I'm deluded, but I honestly think I could do the steak alone. The sides seem impossible.

It's also true that Trump won after 8 years of Obama running on immigration. Roughly half the population thinks the Democratic position on immigration is open borders.

To be clear, I will vote, donate and knock on doors. But they don't need to individually attack every precinct to convince a bunch of bad faith Republican judges to just let Republicans be in charge.

I don't think you do! I think they can sew a bunch of chaos and refuse to seat Democrats. No honest or good faith reporting or judging will take them seriously. But that doesn't mean that CBS and Supreme Court won't.

I could say "writers lack the structured thinking to create meaningful code while coders have the requisite linguistic elegance by virtue of speaking English." But really, people think LLMs allow outsiders to make something good in other fields but not their own where they're more critical.
