@camhberg Says a lot, to respond to a thoughtful essay with a meme

[Ryan Burge 📊 @ryanburge]

Among evangelicals in 2006:

19% were in favor of giving homosexuals the right to marry.
17% believed that same-sex relations were not at all wrong

Among evangelicals in 2024:

52% were in favor of same-sex marriage.
27% believed that same-sex relations were not at all wrong

So only women of your own political tribe are to be believed?

Not a great standard to be setting

[Ashley Schapitl @AshleySchapitl]

I think Democrats would do well to remember how Christine Blasey-Ford was dismissed and smeared for being a Democrat when she came forward. The personal cost of doing this with any politician or public figure is very high.

@cwellmon Thx!

@ChazNuttycombe Is there an equivalence between the two scandals, though--imho, not so

[Robert McCartney @McCartneyWP]

Interesting thread here on Mayor Bowser interview at WashPost. She won’t say it explicitly, but crystal clear she favors McDuffie as successor. (No surprise). …

@EmmaVigeland You're embarassing yourself

Everyone freaking out about Bernie Sanders' new AI bill should be comforted by the fact that bills he has introduced virtually never become laws. It's been many years since the last time.

[James Talarico @jamestalarico]

There’s been a lot of talk in this race about what makes a "real man."

A man does what’s right when no one is watching. He upholds his commitments to his family and neighbors. He doesn’t lie, cheat, & steal his way through life.

Real men serve others. Weak men serve themselves.

37 years ago the Chinese army killed large numbers of people in Beijing and elsewhere when it cracked down on student protests. I was there and saw it happen myself. Nowadays China tries to claim the Tiananmen massacre was invented by the international media. That’s a total lie.

Three women who dated Graham Platner, the Democratic candidate for Senate in Maine, told The New York Times they found his actions intimidating and disturbing, describing volatile relationships. https://t.co/ClaeKxVUEs

Every company’s AI workflow rn be like 😭💀

@akoustov I'm a humanities professor and I really want to learn to use AI as a research assistant--that's very helpful for me I think. I understand my colleagues' fears, and I share their wariness, to a degree, but I would find it very helpful for research assistance.

@ChrisMcCarthy99 @willchamberlain @shashj I do, I migrate slaves and then trans them, it's all true! Lol

@TheStalwart Yeah I was 7 in 1976 and we lived in Valdez Alaska and we all dressed up as Alaska Gold rush miners and I remember it very much. The 250 has kind of snuck up on us plus we're not _just past_ a national trauma (Vietnam), we're in the midst of one
