These guys are true freaks and the more people gear about Trump's Project 2025 the more they hate it. Which is why the centrist media (who wants Trump to win) is instead running imaginary "Trump moderates on abortion!" stories

Gonna keep banging this drum- it was always on the cards after he came out as the most pro labour president of the 21st century, and probably my lifetime. Of course the corporate shill wing of the party want him gone and of course the leftmost part of it recognise how good he's been for their causes

Cook Political Report just released its Biden vs. Trump national polling average, which tracks the presidential race via a curated average of national polls. Trump’s current 47%-44% lead is the most drastic shift in the race all year.

here's the deal, if someone tells you how important "clean code" is they're going to be awful to work with they're going to fuss over tabs and spaces and all the little pointless details that do not impact the product, creating busywork to get a fleeting sense of agency just to feel smart

Little things as well - Starmer affirmed rather than swearing on the bible when taking his seat/office this time. It's the cumulative effect of tiny things that say "we are serious people" that matters.

Good reporting on an entirely predictable problem. Fun fact: Airbnb also covers up thousands of sexual assaults every year! Its internal safety team has "cool-down rooms" to take a break from the trauma of what they hear. It's a bad company, a bad industry, and people should just stay in hotels.

I think the @nytimes.com is just too old to be covering politics now. Its ability to handle the rigor and complexity of modern campaigns is obviously not there anymore. Put it out to pasture so younger newspapers can do the job.

Fuck Boeing C-suite but I suspect the problem is more UA maintenance than older Boeing models.
