Is it a flashback if MattY said it in the same calendar year? It's sort of impressive how consistently wrong he is on anything that matters, displaying the political instincts of someone who hasn't even run for any office in his life.

It's not sentient, it's not your friend, it's not even particularly close to predictive in the way people want it to be. It rewarms stuff you've already fed it and you trick yourself into believing it's new because you don't remember/haven't seen it before.

I've seen it said elsewhere but AI as people use it, the part VCs and tech bros want you to believe is "unique", is effectively a vending machine with a pretty opaque window in front of it. You push some buttons you think will get you something and then you hope what drops is close enough.

It has definitely gotten to the point where marketing materials from mediocre startups are flooding the general public and changing what words mean and it is making everyone stupider as a result.

Yeah, UAW has a vast membership composition but I'm fairly certain your average line worker at the Toledo Jeep factory thinks his or her colleagues should be sent to the gulags based on the color of their skin.

I'll believe it when I see it but a lot of these politicians probably figure they can just run again once Trump is out if they want. What will be interesting is if the candidates who run to replace them will tack more to the MAGA right or if they try to distance themselves a bit from it.

It's probably less than that, since the actual survey was "have you ever used these apps", which is a very vague question. The daily use question later on shows it's about 10% of adults, which tracks more with the user base of Nazis and randos.

That's not really what the 21% says. The report asks if they ever use these apps, which is immensely vague. If you click through a link to a tweet from a sports team that's "using X" but not really engaging with it like YouTube or Instagram, most likely. Stickiness matters.

I suspect MTG and others are bothered by the clear connection between Trump and Epstein but, yeah, she's not doing this out of the kindness of her heart or some real change in character.

I do think the actual, tangible revelation that Trump and his cronies were quite close with a convicted sexual abuser of children broke a number of these people. Boebert is similarly frosty for, I assume, the same reasons. They always believed there was a ring out there, just not their side.

It's always a woman he tries to act tough against. He's this horribly scared, misogynistic jerk who thinks he can just yell people down and when they push back he freaks out.

Sure, if you keep flipping houses until you're 90 it won't matter as much but that's not reality and so at some point owners start paying more than before with less cumulative equity.

The argument that the average homeowner sells her house every 12 years is such a useless stat because it seemingly doesn't differentiate between first time home buyers vs. others. At some point most people want to settle into one place and at that point all the issues with a 50-yr mortgage occur.

I've long contended that Nichols wants to call people "Welfare Queens", give rich people tax breaks, and generally maintain the status quo keeping him on top, he just doesn't want the people who vote for his side to say the N word out loud. In other words, he's fine with ICE if they were subtler.

I agree, but the point of that axiom is to focus on defeating your enemy and not necessarily caring who is on your side when you do it. Nobody who's thinking clearly expects MTG types to become allies but her being pissed at Trump and wanting to hurt him helps Dems and that's all that matters.

He's apparently from England, which makes the fact he's calling ICE on immigrants simultaneously make more and less sense.

She posts later on that we should read Bloomberg more now (she works there) because they do "cool articles" about dumb finance stuff. She thought that was appropriate in a thread discussing, at its core, a years long coverup of pedophiles including POTUS.

His one consistent strength is getting low propensity voters to show up when he's on the ballot, but he can't run anymore and otherwise he's a drag for other GOP pols because people who do vote don't like him. So yeah, non-zero chance they throw the useful idiot out.

I don't think that many Dems are surprised by this release. Yeah, it's a bit worse just because we all assumed these idiots wouldn't send copious email notes about the crimes, but we've all seen the pictures and the stories about the two of them for years.
