Whenever some sanctimonious Dem announces that America needs a functioning Republican Party, I always think “I’d settle for a functioning Democratic Party.”

Time for @mcuban.bsky.social to come out of his healthcare/hoops corner and start a real media/news company with the balls he has shown in his other endeavors. Come on, buddy. Many people have subscription money burning in their pockets now...

Worth asking why the same news outlets that tripped over themselves to explain that Obama getting 53% of the vote was meaningless - “still a center-right country”! - but Trump getting 49.8% of the vote against a candidate who entered the race in July is effectively the Enabling Act.
again, what is interesting to me about this stuff — beyond the obvious fact that what trump wants is propaganda — is that it is grounded in a political theory which holds trump to be the sovereign will of the nation, who can impose his demands on every aspect of the nation's society

My translator tells me "thoughts & prayers" is an American political expression that means "we'd rather have a secret police force than a weather service".

Generative AI has helped me to understand why, in Star Wars, the droids seem to have personalities but are generally bad at whatever they're supposed to be programmed to do, and everyone is tired of their shit and constantly tells them to shut up

I’m just istening to an old Maintenance Phase episode and i have to pull this quote out by Michael Hobbes:
“No one is ever going to build a statue to the people that are like, ‘it’s a little more complicated!’”
It’s so true. It shouldn’t be, though. It always IS a little more complicated.

The fact that Elon Musk's attempt to buy the Wisconsin Supreme Court failed despite $25+ million in propaganda and bribery shows there is a force more powerful than greed.
But everyone knows that force is hatred of fascist billionaires—not support for the Democratic Party.

This feels like another case of the difference between Black and White Protestants being really important. This doesn't read as capitulation to me at all, but the sort of messaging that Black folks used during Jim Crow to remind each other that we can find a way out. But maybe I'm just trippin.
Wonder why so many of us are despondent about the response from Democratic leadership 🙄
