I like when I see some of you posting the same post I liked here over on Twitter and it’s doing numbers. I feel like a fan of a band back when they were just playing the clubs, before the big time.

Agreed. It’s also kind of nice that there’s a huge fight going on and I’m not really angry at anyone in it.

I agree, and I’m not sure what the right thing to do is. I’m less confident than everyone. I’m just saying that the part of me that considers replacement still doesn’t think he has a competence problem

With #HurricaneBeryl, 2024 is the 11th hurricane season in last 150 years in which a hurricane developed south of 20N, east of 80W prior to Aug 1.

The other 10 seasons went on to average twice or more the normal number of U.S./Florida hurricane and major hurricane landfalls.

I stutter. I’m also a pretty good extemporaneous speaker. I’ve been rattled to the point of panic when things start going off the rails. It is IMO likely that a big chunk of Biden’s debate struggles were downstream of a rocky start and attempts to recover through his mouth throwing 404s

I think so too. The main reason I would want him to withdraw is because most other people can’t see that. I’m not actually worried about his competence.

So I just discovered why they tell you to hold the brake on a stationary bike when you get off! (got foot caught between pedal and frame; am basically fine but will be super pissed if I can’t exercise tomorrow)

*deep existential sigh* Did you know that the one time I was summoned to meet with a dean and a chair over the content of my syllabus it was for teaching the history of legal challenges to affirmative action and diversity in admissions. The class was called Diversity in Education.

It’s pretty much all up to one guy, no? If Biden wants to stay in the race, there’s no way to replace him without things getting extremely ugly.

At the risk of being tiresome in reposting my own writings on the separation of powers and executive accountability, since prominent scholars are now in the news saying "habeas corpus will still be OK"— Montesquieu's insight was precisely that it won't be.

I remember somebody once asked if our offline persona was the same as our online persona. I was like, irl I don’t go around stating my sincere, political beliefs, sometimes sneerily.

I mean, the main reason I’m even considering replacing him is simply because I think enough people are wrong about him to swing an election. Which really sucks!

I’m tentatively leaning toward Biden withdrawing, but I have a hesitation I haven’t seen much discussed. If he drops out, people are going to feel even more like the Democrats betrayed them by keeping his condition from them.
