1. Voters generally reject fascism when they know that's the choice. 2. Thus, the MAGA freakout at people figuring out what Project 2025 does.

I didn’t watch the debate, and most of the professional commentary I’ve seen on it has both not provided me with any new information about the race and inspired contempt for the commentators. I don’t know if I’m a typical American in this regard, but that’s where I’m at.

Shades of the 2009 #Royals lately. Only instead of one, they have a rotation of Greinkes, each grinding out solid starts just to be undermined by an utter dead parrot of an offense.

It is very exhausting to see people doing "ha ha look how dumb Chat GPT is it can't get basic questions right" right as we are getting constant stories about how much energy even basic queries for AI uses up. Just don't use it! The bit isn't that funny!

The absolutely wild thing is: This goes for ALL social aid. Just *giving people some fucking money,* literally going "OK, how much did you need?", cutting checks, and waving them out the door? COSTS LESS and HAS BETTER OUTCOMES than the current system's bureaucracy and means testing, EVERY TIME.

If you told me before the season that the #Royals would be a .500 club at the end of June, I'd have been ecstatic. This trajectory, however, feels bad. What a waste of a great start.

I loathe air conditioner shaming. It’s bizarre Puritan nonsense that gets vulnerable people killed in heat waves. (Did you know a lot of people who die in heat waves HAVE AC, but never turned it on?). Shut it down wherever you encounter it.

I hope everyone watches the segment (or reads the transcript - scrapsfromtheloft.com/tv-series/tr...)

“AI will replace movies. I can make my own version of Star Wars where I’m the hero and Obi-Wan doesn’t die.” The problem is we’ve allowed a society where adult men can say things like this without being shunned from the village to starve as a pitiful outcast.

I could be annoyed at the Royals descent into suckitude, but honestly? We got two months of fun, exciting, WINNING baseball. Might be over now, but it's been a long time since there's been a stretch like that.
