@RishiRamaraju @ettingermentum We exist in a post-Citizens United country with unlimited Super PAC $$

Do you actually not understand why regular people might get excited about a self-funded progressive politician that actually has the means to compete in this environment?

@Alphons63 I love the dabs of lilac and turquoise

@Thinkwert It's like an inversion of the evil-looking Brooklyn tower lol

@Kingfan5151 @B0n0boJones @mattxiv @AbdulElSayed I don’t believe he did. IMHO he’s been very open about his career and experience

@bigsnugga I didn't say they were. It's a smart angle given the demo he has to appeal to, especially since overt criticism is easily construed as "unamerican"

@nise_yoshimi It's a bit sad that despite our 80 year pop culture fixation on WWII, we're still stuck with the McCarthyist decentering of the eastern front. Doubly so for the non-american Asiatic theatre

I'm mostly sick to death of WWII stuff but even so there's so much context left behind

@kenklippenstein this came to me in a nightmare

@nycgraceryan Soo good, I also recommend Austrian federweißer or Sturm for apéritif if you get the chance to try it. It’s very seasonal though

@GuardTm I used to do this with my old mac. Like slipping into the silhouette of a different me, filled with misplaced priorities and forgotten conversations

@TheRealJChubby Listen man I get where you're coming from but you really can't outplan a sinkhole.. That strip of road is basically new

@_blast_furnace_ @DeepDishEnjoyer It is funny to imagine this guy constantly trying to sneak past the badge-ins for a 30-seat upper level with no prereqs or lecture material though

[Apricots @johnnaaron]

@_blast_furnace_ @DeepDishEnjoyer Honestly the grad school stuff (and frankly most of the rest of his resume) reads like larp. Definitely wouldn't have flown in my MSc program or any doctoral programs I'm familiar with

Even just for tuition/class size reasons.. I've also never heard of auditing beyond BSc levels

[Apricots @johnnaaron]

@gonglei89 It's especially interesting given the collective reverence we assign to FDR's New Deal era

Maybe it's akin to the founding fathers; a fixation on the individual rather than the fundamental/structural forces of the time
