Fable 5 was, briefly, the most important thing happening in the United States. This administration has a strict policy against that.

@sama @GurkanSenes smarter is just ‘better.’ you still owe us harder, faster, and stronger

@mattyglesias @RossBarkan I think part of the Mamdani interest is less “NYC is the model for Democrats everywhere” and more “young political talent is exciting when it appears.” If there were a young Clinton/Obama-level talent emerging in the South right now, people would be fascinated by that too.

@roddreher The chant on the street is “Russia out.” Whatever overlap exists, pretending there’s no real difference between these candidates strains credulity.

@DMattin @8teAPi I wonder if there’s a Disco Elysium connection here. That’s how I encountered his work.

@mattyglesias The core claim is that the political environment is volatile enough that the standard instruments for identifying what the center even is are becoming less reliable. You don’t think that’s plausible?

Reminder that the civil rights movement was not just random people who had enough one day. They were carefully and militantly trained political activists who deployed strategic forces to end Jim Crow segregation. Never forget them.

@emollick There’s an official vscode extension.

@mattyglesias What we’re buying is favor in case a hurricane smashes one of our cities, because that’s how it works now.

@sahilkapur @RepJeffries *age* issues.

[Will Jones @WBJ_LA]

@Noahpinion Is there a “machine”? I think these are just randos without a plan. Strategy is the job of leadership, and right now there is none.

[Will Jones @WBJ_LA]

@mattyglesias I’d be interested in some Andor takes.

A source told NBC: "They have taken the Bridge and the Second Hall. We have barred the gates, but cannot hold them for long. The ground shakes... Drums. Drums in the deep. We cannot get out. A Shadow moves in the dark... We cannot get out... They are coming."

Also the copy there is a model in pluralistic patriotism: doesn't shy away from racism, gender discrimination, Japanese internment, while also weaving a story of brave, patriotic anti-fascisism.

@mattyglesias What are the trend lines, though?

[Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias]

Wisdom of the ancients: Conservatives outnumber liberals or progressives by a not-small number, but there are also often individual progressive ideas that can secure broad support *if* they are detached from comprehensive abstract ideological debate.

Shelter inflation is 5.5%; "everything else" inflation is 2.2%. The problem is housing; the solution is more homes.
