Good morning, let’s turn these hot potatoes into sweet potatoes.

[gianduja kiss 🐀 @giandujakiss]

@crits4cats I've always thought there should be a charity or something specifically to help with low cost vet care for people who struggle with vet bills. But I've asked and there's almost nothing with that particular mission

[gianduja kiss 🐀 @giandujakiss]

she should have stuck with weird. the historians of fascism said: inflating the strong man's power makes him more attractive; ridiculing is the only way

Random thoughts about the election as we near a potential (sad) outcome:

🤷‍♂️ The data is clear: men generally like Donald Trump. They might not know his policies, but he “seems funny” and doesn’t appear to give a fuck. He’s like a WWE character (literally), and men are drawn to his “vibe” or “aura,” as the kids say. (Men liked Obama, too.) To many men, supporting Trump “seems fun.” Supporting Democrats, by contrast, now feels like a chore.

🆒 On a related note, Tim Walz’s labeling of Trump and Vance as “weird” was an effective way to undermine that ticket and the points I just raised. It seemed to resonate but, for some reason, the campaign backed off this angle entirely.

👧🏻 Younger voters are no longer a reliable group for Democrats, as young men—regardless of race—are increasingly turning Republican. This shift is fueled by streamers and podcasters like Joe Rogan, Nelk, Jake Paul, Akademiks, Cartier Family, and the existence of Kick and Rumble which are only going to become more popular. Democrats haven’t made meaningful efforts to reach these groups this cycle; Buttigieg’s appearance on Jubilee was one of the rare smart moves.

🛑 Black and Latino men are trending conservative, but this may be a “red mirage” tied to their fondness for Trump. If Trump is out of the picture in the next election, will this trend continue? TBD. These groups are also consuming a lot of viral content on X, Kick, and Rumble, all of which act as right-wing content machines.

📈 Say what you will about Trump and his team, but they know how to run a personality-driven campaign. They know which podcasts and internet personalities have real influence and have basically set the terms of engagement. Kamala seemed to be reacting to everything they did—or didn’t do.

📺 Mainstream legacy media is effectively dead when it comes to influencing elections. They had no real impact in curbing Trump’s candidacy. If you’re running for President in 2028, why bother engaging with them? Trump’s supporters don’t care about traditional outlets. Every audience now has its own news ecosystem, where they choose to get content that aligns with their views and avoid being challenged.

🗳️ Political ads are largely a waste of money. They don’t change anyone’s mind. Trump spent less on ads and still crushed it with voters. There’s a story here on how ineffective political advertising has become. (Unless Trump alone is immune.)

🛋️ JD Vance was normalized post-debate. The “he’s horrible” narrative faded as people saw more of him, and he came across as more moderate. Now, he’s a frontrunner for 2028, positioned as an effective communicator who can continue to normalize the MAGA movement (or is it simply the norm now?) without alienating its base.

🙅‍♂️ X (Twitter) will likely become insufferable with all the political showboating post-Trump win. Using it seems unthinkable for me moving forward. That said, I predict advertisers will come back to X. Elon has the president’s ear and may even be in the Oval Office making decisions. Brand safety aside, advertisers won’t pull back.

👴 Biden wouldn’t have won this election. He just didn’t have it, and Kamala is faring worse. It is what it is. These are the cards Dems were dealt, though they could have been different had Biden bowed out earlier. Moving forward, it’s TBD what happens next. The GOP is stronger than it’s been in years, and with Vance as MAGA’s likely standard-bearer, it’s a tough challenge for Democrats. My bet for 2028? A Josh Shapiro–Pete Buttigieg ticket.

[Will Stancil @whstancil]

Harris ran a good campaign that excited Democratic voters and lost because of a giant national swing to the right, because we've allowed the internet and right-wing media to cook the whole country in right-wing misery and discontent for years. Also, probably some misogyny.

[gianduja kiss 🐀 @giandujakiss]

to state the obvious, if he wins, this is a preview of coming attractions

this is awful this must be what it is like to be a relative in the waiting room while a family member is delivering a baby in a complicated pregnancy where she almost lost it twice and there is nothing you can do and you learned the ob/gyn drives a tesla

Percy & Paris are 6.5yr old male front declawed tuxedo cats needing adoption or rescue from Glenpool Animal Control & Shelter. They were surrendered tearfully by their owner due to landlord issues 😢 Both boys are sweet chonkers, and are likely brothers.
