November 2023: Dean Phillips is only damaging Biden by running in the primaries and he should be expelled from the party. July 2024: Biden's legitimacy as a candidate comes from his landslide victory in the primaries, which were real and good.

Rep. Adam Smith was just on CNN saying that, while only eight members of Congress are publicly calling for Biden to go, "80 to 90%" want a different nominee. šŸ‘€

The people who are responsible for winning elections for Democrats are not convinced that the person leading the ticket is the best person for those purposes. Probably worth considering!

-10 Democrats in Congress have now called on Biden to step aside.
-37 have expressed doubts about his candidacy.
-But 89 have come out in support of Biden.

Here's what each group looks like ideologically, demographically, etc.: abcnews.go.com/538/democrat...

There's at least some argument that it's better to ration by limiting supplyā€”make street parking cheap or free but scarce, so that you pay the cost in time (looking for parking if you choose to drive) which is distributed more equallyā€”but the enforcement there looks like a towtruck

5th Cir., 2-1, holds that George Floyd protesters that were "subdued" by PepperBall rounds did not sufficiently plead that City of Dallas should have known about the officer's propensity for violence bc his 19 prior incidents were not sufficiently similar.

Weird seeing TSA privatization (ACAB, private security will be less invasive and have a longer pipeline to prisons) and elimination of DHS unions in here (cops are not workers). What am I missing?

If Biden were to win an election where the available data looks like what we have now, then the conclusion is that almost nothing we know about elections in the US works any more. Itā€™s not impossible and Iā€™m not sure Ds have or had a better way forward, but we do have to face this fact.

Communications tip: don't say "Project 2025" say "Trump's Project 2025." He's trying to run away from it, tie it to his neck like an anchor by making the words "Project 2025" naturally follow the word "Trump" in people's heads.

What we need to do is get over that hump, the hump being building a self-replicating machine (really a self-replicating network of machines including some small human components) that works in space.

If you imagine a physical economy as a self-replicating machine (mines, factories, power plants, and the rest), you should at least be able to see how such a machine could replicate faster in space. That's the benefit.

A ton of engineering development is going to be needed to get all sorts of processes "space ready" but that's a (very large) one-time cost. The ongoing benefit is plentiful energy, unclaimed materials, and unlimited space.
