“You don’t accomplish anything by posting” is such a ridiculous & boring take. I have learned so much from so many people on social media just from them posting. I have shared that information with others. We have changed our behaviors based on information to impact communities & ourselves.

It's a truism in US poll analysis that even if a generic Democrat polls well against Trump, there's no such thing as a generic Democrat and every actually existing candidate comes with baggage. But in the UK they somehow found the world's most generic Labour PM candidate and absolutely cleaned up.

I know nothing about Project Dominion or any plans for Cardassia to join the Dominion. I have never even heard of the Dominion. I disagree with many things the Dominion is saying, and trying to conquer all solids sounds awful to me. I wish them luck in anything they do.

I am glad this piece about the Heritage Foundation threatening civil war if the left doesn’t accept a monarchy came out in the WaPo. More like this, please.

It's an unpopular opinion right now, but I suspect giving the Tory Right too much time to think and plot is deeply unwise. A Tory time of reflection that drags out too long can escalate into a post-Tory civil war.

Your occasional reminder that Nigel Farage is younger than Brad Pitt. That's what chain smoking and bitter does for you.

Very good thread this. In many ways this was a typical 2020s European election. When you consider how so many of those are ending, that's a bit worrying.

With elections across Europe there has been a recent tendency of overcorrecting from past mistakes to focus entirely on far right dynamics that were once scoffed at It means dynamics that are just as important such as factional positioning in France's Left or the rise of England's Greens get missed

Listen to the Biden interview. Its 15ish minutes of Biden talking extemporaneously perfectly well. But like several other public events over the last several days, this is getting brushed aside because the narrative that political news media wants to go with is set.
