U.S. tech oligarchs and the actual president of the United States spending time and energy doing crypto nonsense while China releases an AI that kicks our ass is such a perfect metaphor while also being literally what’s happening

Now they’re gonna spend $500B gobbling up energy in Texas to build a product China is making for $5B and giving away basically free. Lemme know how that goes.

Meanwhile the Texas grid breaks when it gets cold.

They replayed a lot of the same songs.
The mics didn’t pick up a lot of what they were saying.
It was actually a little too rushed.
I want to know the exact distances and ball straining stats for every shot. No most of them.
I’d like some commentary on what type of shots they’re hitting and why.

Having said that, I really enjoyed it. I think it’ll
Get tweaked over time and be even better.

We have zero examples of Haitians eating cats but 7-8 bomb threats and one threatened mass shooting by right-wingers who think Haitians are eating cats

At this point a Haitian could eat 20 cats tomorrow and the right would still be the most barbaric party in this controversy

This is such an important point by @GregTSargent - the mendacity with impunity is not just a sign of GOP depravity, it is also a strategy for institutionalized depravity.

Trump's Project 2025 agenda is to prosecute anyone who speaks out against him.

Rent control referendums frequently lose *in California!*

This is not indicative of a policy with 73% national support when voters are actually given specifics of what an individual rent control law would entail and are asked to vote on it

[Swann Marcus @SwannMarcus89]

I'm always confused by polling that runs totally contrary to actual electoral outcomes

We have rent control referendums on the ballot all the time; they pass sometimes and they don't pass sometimes

If support for rent control is so overwhelming, why does it lose so often?

Say it with me:
