And just to be clear, this isn’t Scooby Doo the cartoon. This is the origin story of the dog Scooby Doo that the cartoon is based on.

[Variety @Variety]

Netflix has unveiled a first look at Scooby in Netflix’s live-action #ScoobyDoo series.

The show is set to premiere in 2027.

@mattyglesias I spent a lot of time on the Mt. Vernon Trail growing up which is how I know Columbia Island is a thing. I don't know of any signage there that actually indicates you are actually in DC though https://t.co/Fk0nUoem2C

[zaltschuler @ZAltschuler]

@mattyglesias I truly hate to defend anything to do with this stupid admin, but it is actually in DC

[zaltschuler @ZAltschuler]

@ReubenR80027912 Real lesson here is tactics are meaningless w/o real strategic aims. There was 0 effort to gain public support and there was 0 chance Americans would ever bear the cost anyways. It was poorly thought out and anyone non-MAGA could see that. That isn't feckless, that is rational.

[zaltschuler @ZAltschuler]

@ReubenR80027912 Bro, gotta say this whole war thing was a bad look for you. You went down a rabbit hole here that clearly was never gonna work out. It's not a death blow to US interests, but it def was about as harmful of a reputational and strategic blunder as you are gonna get.

[zaltschuler @ZAltschuler]

@ReubenR80027912 Many non-politically and non-ideologically motivated people (i.e. the vast majority of swing voters) have an outsized sense of dissatisfaction with the political system naturally. Trump has some unique political strengths, but his lack of magnanimity turns them off.

@bdquinn @elonmusk The hundreds of thousands would just be teachers losing their jobs. The actual directly affected would be in the tens of millions (students and their families).

[zaltschuler @ZAltschuler]

@ReubenR80027912 I mean this is just a straight up untruth. Work in the government definitely happened. Most agencies/gov contractors also came into the office multiple times per week.

I appreciate your unorthodox takes, but this is just silly.

@lxeagle17 @NYHammond Funniest part about this is that Dems look fine down ballot in Nys. May still flop 3 seats while protecting all of theirs!

[zaltschuler @ZAltschuler]

@DjsokeSpeaking Don't think it will quite get there, though drop boxes and the like will add 1-2%. Will definitely go over raw 2020 turnout though.

[zaltschuler @ZAltschuler]

@EricCrusius @davebjerke Looks like 83.32% https://t.co/D7G6w1BGAH

[zaltschuler @ZAltschuler]

@lxeagle17 Even if people heard about it, why would it move votes?

[zaltschuler @ZAltschuler]

@xcpdx @ettingermentum That split is specifically ED to EV voters in GA, not the overall EV electorate.

[zaltschuler @ZAltschuler]

@OGTaylorB @ReubenR80027912 @Fullcarry There is a ton of trusts/life estates that have "protected" that money from spend downs.

[zaltschuler @ZAltschuler]

@LPDonovan Yeah, agreed. At this point, TX and FL should probably move towards Lean R. Cruz and Scott still clearly the favorites but polling has the Dems close enough on both the presidential and senate level for a polling error to make the difference.

[zaltschuler @ZAltschuler]

@EsotericCD Doesn't track for me that people will view Walz as some left-wing extremist? He clearly isn't. I think Dems may be overrating his rural appeal, but this seems like an overreaction the other way too influenced by partisanship.

[zaltschuler @ZAltschuler]

@ArtieMog @zachp_25 Yeah, to be fair, I haven't seen MARTA trains in awhile. I live off of I-86 and I mostly see BART trains going west.

[zaltschuler @ZAltschuler]

@zachp_25 Don't think all the components are made at the same factory

[zaltschuler @ZAltschuler]

@zachp_25 Almost certainly being transported to/from Hornell, NY which has a massive train factory (Alstom). They build the Acela cars and MARTA as well (among others).

@bomani_jones The reason why Mahomes seems to not get credit is that he is so great that it has become inherent to any discussion around him.

Allen is great, but flawed, and can’t get over the hump, which is fundamentally more interesting to discuss than Mahomes continuing to be the best.
