@IrvingSwisher Yeah that’s a fine opinion to have, the market right now dictates that pretty much any semi-decent player will get a huge fee, clubs are getting smart about the PL money

@IrvingSwisher Now you can overpay for Barcola instead!

@xenocryptsite I also love the idea that the crew has to be psychologically compatible. I don’t think Obi-Wan was making decisions based on how Han and Luke would communicate in the Falcon

@xenocryptsite If you haven’t read Dhalgren yet, please put that on your docket. It’s a fantastic bit of ‘70s sci-fi

@JosephSzymanski Which is why the narrative of “Dem Tea Party! They won’t even elect their sitting Senator!” falls flat in Colorado. This is a state that has zoomed left in a short amount of time. Some of it is anti-incumbent fervor, but that’s secondary to the larger shift

@fawfulfan It’s just a joke, he’s not being serious

[Haines Hoag @HainesHoag]

@stooobless Get a similar vibe from Michigan. Some of these people still think it’s going to be a D+3 year and that’s just incompatible with competitive Senate races in Iowa and Alaska

@xenocryptsite This is just from 2020 onwards, but the list of members of Congress with <26% includes David Taylor in OH-2, Dan Goldman (duh), Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick in FL-20, Jake Auchincloss in MA-4, Kat Cammack in FL-3, Byron Donalds in FL-19, and Diana Harshbarger in TN-1 (19.2%!)

@LPDonovan The real question is: at what point do those on the right consider that keeping Platner on the ticket is better for them than the alternative? Maybe it’s all 4D chess to get Dems to dig in but releasing oppo baggage too fast still loses you a seat if you replace w/ a generic Dem

[Haines Hoag @HainesHoag]

@JosephSzymanski And yet if 2022 had been a huge red wave (like 2026 could be), he would have won. Maine is also further left than Arizona, so it will be interesting if we look back in November and Platner ekes it out by 2.5 points in a blue tsunami. That lesson might not be as impactful!

@maiamindel Diet Coke enthusiasts, like Catholics, empathize aesthetics over practicality. I drink Coke Zero because it tastes good, not to signal superior taste or give a nod to popular culture. Humility is a virtue

@ECaliberSeven I was going to vote for Shah, but the Israel support was disqualifying so I decided to go for Bennett. Glad I did because she keeps getting worse every day

[Haines Hoag @HainesHoag]

@LPDonovan It’s basically a high-water mark for NIMBYs in terms of agreement on NIMBY policies. Low job creation + increased utility cost + competition for resources and not a lot of tangible benefits. I’d be interested in seeing the polling on support for data centers

[Haines Hoag @HainesHoag]

@DrewSav Eh, 2028 is the last time Dems could get a trifecta and pass anti-gerrymandering laws before the 2030 census complicates things even further by shifting more House seats to Republican states. Better to go maximalist in 2028 and give yourself the best shot at unified government

[Haines Hoag @HainesHoag]

@Blake_Allen13 In a line of business where lawsuits and nuclear verdicts were already making current rates wildly inadequate! If nothing is done about it you’ll end up with only a few large trucking companies left; smaller trucking companies won’t be able to absorb these costs

[Haines Hoag @HainesHoag]

@Alexandra6132 @xenocryptsite As someone who has recently got into Miami Vice, how does that not make the list? It seems to me like the first “modern” television series

[Haines Hoag @HainesHoag]

@DjsokeSpeaking What about NJ and VA? Much tougher but I don’t think Dems can be picky currently. I don’t see why VA wouldn’t have stood if the election dates had been followed correctly. Probably only nets 2 vs 4
