I only knew it because of Gene Wolfe

Yup! I just enjoy them, get full, and stop eating.

Same! That and the cravings are just turned off. I can eat one piece of cake and feel satisfied for the week that I got a nice treat. It’s wild!

If you want to blame someone Biden bears the brunt of it, also a broad misread of the media ecosystem, the Harris campaign itself looks like it did what it could, not sure a different ad or speech gets you over the hump

Also, related to this, it makes sense because this place is entirely populated with people who fled Twitter due to Elon Musk, but the echo chamber effect on Bluesky is *wild*

I don’t have a firm take on what will or should happen, but Biden has clearly lost the confidence of his voters. This feels a lot like Clinton’s emails where instead of trying to deal with a liability, a lot of people are going to pretend the liability is some fake thing the NYT invented.

Sorry, I meant the @davidjroth.bsky.social and @osullyville.bsky.social exchange

If you're any other Democrat what I would suggest is like "Violence has no place in our politics. I hope this is a WAKE UP CALL for Trump, that saying things like an assassin trying to kill Nancy Pelosi was a hoax, that nazis in Charlottesville were 'very fine people,' that" and just go on

Basically. One of the biggest problems (in an Econ sense, not a moral one) in labor markets is sticky wages. Generally people don’t take pay cuts, so wages don’t fall during recession (instead people get fired). Rising prices un-stick the labor market and employers pay more to attract talent.

To be fair, you might not starve if disobedience got you shot first.

I was on tenterhooks because I convinced myself Star Wars was gonna show a butt, but of course Star Wars did not show a butt
