Doomers, get lost. If you don't think anything matters in the political realm, then you tweeting about it *definitely* doesn't matter. Go do literally anything else except be on here.

It's a bit surprising that Pete Hegseth asked for two shots when he usually asks for four or five.

Grown assed adults expecting holidays to be like when they were a kid is a great microcosm of the problems we have as a society today. Nostalgia is a toxic impulse. There is no "the way things used to be", you were just younger and less informed and had fewer responsibilities.

In retrospect this cabinet meeting seems equivalent to Biden's team insisting on doing that debate with Trump, only with less of an audience for it.
I can't get over the fact that they scheduled a televised Cabinet meeting, hyped it as a major event, planned it all out to show how active and in control Trump is ... and then he dozed off in the middle of it. Repeatedly.

I think this is generally correct. Using the incomplete rollout of Fox onto cable systems by 2000, Dan Hopkins and I found that the primary effect of having Fox on your cable system that year was that Republicans were more likely to "stay home" and vote for Bush for president.

I have come to the idea that we have to collectively, brutally, ritualistically kill Target just to show capital that we truly aren’t fucking around.

Also, so crazy that there isn’t any wayfinding on the airport train to direct travelers to the blue line
So many little frictions like this at O’Hare
The CTA could hire multiple full time positions for people to just hold up signs and it would break even

New housing lowers rents.
Interesting new working paper that studies chains of movers after the construction of a new apartment building in Honolulu.
Paper finds that the project resulted in the opening up other, lower cost, housing on the island, benefiting the housing market overall.

The fact doomers have gone from "America is over" to "Dems won't hold anyone responsible when this is over" can actually be read as an optimistic signal imo.
