Nobody had anything good to say about people on social media. “Being yelled at on Bluesky is good,” said Mr. Jain, who co-founded Split Ticket, an election analytics firm. Mocking people he sees as keyboard warriors who take shots at the center, he added: “You’re not fighting fascism, you’re posting on your phone. If you want to fight fascism, go and win elections.” Bruises from digital bullying by the left were a recurring theme. “The backlash that happens online is actually the sign that you’re doing something right,” said Adam Jentleson, a former chief of staff to Senator John Fetterman of Pennsylvania. He has spent recent months preparing to establish a new think tank, called Searchlight, that he has billed as for political realists.

Heartbreak for the Niners. The reason? Too many ex-Browns. 4 coaches, 2 players. Chiefs? Wisely, they have 0. Kelce is a Cleveland boy, but was never bore the curse by the wearing of the orange.

I'm not really sure why I'm on here but I guess if I get a free platform I can talk about my ridiculous hyperfixations. Like how the crop insurance system in America is broken! Unfortunately, it's too boring for anyone to care about. But it matters a lot!
