Pritzker isn't low-IQ because he's not Black. Only Johnson is low-IQ because he's Black.

Trump: "They've had hundreds of people shot and then a guy like Pritzker or this low IQ mayor gets up -- the people are all against him. Beautiful Black women are wearing a MAGA hat last night on TV. And they said, 'We don't care who comes, just stop the crime.' They don't care if it's military."

There's power in NOT posting, a surprising amount of the time.

For one's mental well-being, as much as anything.

It's even easier to just SAY NOTHING about things you want to succeed, but suspect won't. You don't even have to lie, doing that.

The only reasons to preemptively shit on things you purportedly want to work are:

1) clout-seeking/engagement
2) you actually don't want them to succeed
3) idiocy

It's insanity until you realize the goal is to arrive at the end of the process flowchart, "Fuck the Democrats!"

Always fun to see people who are quite generous in granting themselves the grace to admit error that they will never grant others.

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

"Dems need to message better!"

[Dems try to message]

"Well, this messaging effort is going to fail like all the others!"

[Message gets no traction in part due to a sea of naysayers]

"See! I told you they suck at messaging! I am very smart."

“Democrats should just stick the this one message…” is a great idea until you remember that there are dozens of different (often competing) priorities and everyone is vocally pissed if you don’t center theirs.

Sees 45 Nay votes: "There are 6 unnamed Democrats who could be voting for cloture, but aren't"

Very weird framing.

HALF A DOZEN: Senate Democrats + Rand Paul have filibustered a House-passed 7-week funding bill for a sixth time. The government shutdown continues on with no end in sight.

Do you mean "large" in profile? Because in terms of headcount, I believe it's at most a couple hundred people.

There's a tempest because some people went at the BS CEO for not banning Jesse Singal (who doesn't post), and the CEO engaged in a way that they felt was dismissive.

Yup. Of course contemporaneous things will be shared experiences. It's the obliviousness that any other cohort also was around, and that maybe some of this actually predated them, that is funny.

Video games, for example are literally older than Millennials.

The Right keeps dangling Transfolk up as totems to hate so the gullible will focus on them and not pay attention as the Right robs the country and destroys democracy.

It's always funny when Millennials try to describe experiences that are uniquely theirs, and it's stuff me and my Gen X cohort did before them.

If you're not constantly pushing the scare and anger buttons, people's neurotransmitter levels might drop low enough to hemorrhage engagement.
